1st place on the line now Sunday…

Thank you Miami for taking it to the Ravens tonight. Baltimore was due to have a stinker of a game like this where they fall behind and don’t come back and win. You can’t make a living off doing this every week like the Ravens have been doing it seems like all season. But the Steelers after a 1-3 start and looking like they were dead in the water have a chance to be in 1st place on Sunday with 8 games remaining if they can beat the only team in the NFL that has yet to win a game at Heinz Field on Sunday.

 

If Ben goes an entire week without taking a single snap in practice; and then demands to play on Sunday the Steelers will be the laughing stock of the league getting beat by the winless Lions!

 

The only thing that worries me is how games like this, where we can help ourselves out, we usually drop those kind of games. Hoping that’s in the past.

 

This was a gigantic choke by the Ravens. Come on Steelers beat the Lions and jump into first place.

 

Sometimes maybe recovery is better then practicing. I mean Lamar just practiced all week long and just got humiliated by a 2 win team.

 

Game is 3 days away and your already saying if we lose it’s Ben’s fault…that’s pretty pathetic.

 

Jackson got out played by Tua who was forced to enter the game and play with a broken finger.

 

Baltimore finally run out of luck. They have been absolutely blessed to win some of those games against the Lions and Colts for example and should have been 5-3 going in to last night at best, if not 4-4.

I don’t think there is a standout team in the AFC North right now. There is no final standing that would shock me in any way. It’s all about who gets their game together down the stretch and wins the division games in particular.

The Steelers offence is a worry but was Baltimore’s any better last night? They are a very beatable team.

 

Now he’s demanding to play? Where do you get this stuff.

 

I really hope that MT doesn't play down to the competition this week because they will lose to the Lions if he doesn't have the team prepared well.

 

Every team lays a stinker and we have seen this with the Steelers against a true bottom feeder.

I do feel that the crows are overrated as well as their QB. Thank you Miami.

Have to just take care of business and then the schedule gets a little dicey.

Looks like we will be on the edge of our seats till the last game which hopefully grants them a playoff birth.

 

Every week Ben and receivers are mis-communicating, and his timing looks off with other receivers. Now there's a chance Miller, who he probably has never thrown to, is playing this week.

As soon as he gets hit Sunday he'll be sore again.

 

Crazy division - Steelers will be anywhere from 1st to last after Sunday.

 

Looking at all 4 teams remaining schedules I'd give a very slight edge to the Bengals but as we all have learned yet again, any given Sunday.

 

Ben will be ready to deliver and their is no chance the Steelers drop this game at home. If on the road could be a different story.

 

Oh no we suck

 

Thanks to the Fins for stomping Lamar and Co. last night. It was a delight to watch their defense shut down the Ravens offense. Just what was needed to give the Steelers a shot to jump into first place. Now the Steelers better capitalize on the situation.

 

Lions are very dangerous they have nothing to lose

 

I agree with this. While I don’t think this game will be a slam dunk blow out win I just don’t see how the Steelers lose this game. This Lions offense is pretty bad and I just don’t see how Jared Goff who turns the ball over a lot and can’t move around and gets sacked a lot doing much for the Lions. It’s a great matchup for the Steelers defense for sure. The Lions defense isn’t very good either in particular their pass defense. They have given up the most yards per pass of any team in the NFL and don’t get much pressure on the QB. So Ben should have another decent game and should be able to make some plays in the passing game. Get up early in this game like they have done the last few home games and make the Lions play catch up.

Hopefully this is the game if the Steelers can get up by 14 points that they are able to finally put this team away and not let this game be close in the 4th quarter. I just don’t see anyway the Steelers lose this game unless they absolutely implode.

 

No I am saying Mason is our best chance to Win with Ben sitting out to heal.


I am on the edge of my seat today for the news to break that Mason is starting on Sunday!!!

 

You can’t possibly know how serious Ben’s injury is. Typical internet coach.

 

I thought the Lions would beat the Eagles. They had had a couple of close losses, were at home, and the Eagles were sputtering. The Eagles beat them 44-6. You mean they can't lose the game? That's something to lose. Are they going to throw the kitchen sink at us? I hope Heyward and TJ can jump out of the way before it lands.

 

You must be related to Mason is all I can think. Mason is horrible, especially under pressure, and that was even with a decent line, I would hate to see him with the line we have now.
