    Barring a complete and total collapse by the Steelers. I don’t see the Ravens being able to make up a 2 game deficit on the Steelers in the division losing a game at home and still having to play here on Thanksgiving night. This is a different Steelers team this year and the Steelers just have too many winnable games left on their schedule like Dallas, the Bengals twice, Washington, Jacksonville and even the Colts at home and the Browns in Cleveland while the Ravens have more tough games.

    The only games I can see the Steelers maybe losing the rest of the season now are the Baltimore game here on Thanksgiving and at Buffalo in December. Aside from that this team isn’t gonna lose more then 2 games it’s not happening which is why I believe this division race is over after this win today.

    Bengals are getting stronger every week.

    The Steelers are exactly where they want to be. But this division race is far from over. There is more than half a season left to be played.

    They seem to play tough almost every week. They are going to be a challenge in the future if the organization builds a real team around the young QB.

    I’ve always known how many tomatoes I will get when they are planted. No need for time.

    The Steelers injuries are starting to pile up, on any given Sunday.

    Way. Too. Many. Games. Remaining.



    @steel machine@steel machine called it during the 2020 NFL Draft. Joe Burrow's big win against Tennessee has put the AFC North officially on notice. I myself have been saying prior to this game that Burrow does not look outmatched but simply overwhelmed. Massive difference between the two.



    Give this Bengals team some time. I doubt Tennessee is the last team that gets upset by them.

    They aren’t losing to the Bengals especially if they are still undefeated. Does anybody really believe the Bengals will come into Heinz Field and win here in 2 weeks on the 15th.

    That has always been the issue. Marvin Lewis had a couple of years, but long term ownership just has no vision for investment (pr at least has not). They have 3-4 years (after this year) on a rookie QB deal, some good picks last year, and will get that opportunity this year as well. They could turn it around like KC did very quickly, but until its done they are still the Bungles...another DNA extension from their cuz up north.

    I like the optimism but, as others have said, a whole lot of football to be played yet.

    It's tricky for him to play when he's on his back.

    They've fixed a lot of the protection issues and he's getting quicker at reading Ds. If they draft some decent linemen and AJ Green's heir (and get rid of John Ross) then they'll be a contender next year.

    That is complete BS! I planted three plants of beefsteak tomatoes last year and got so many that I gave them to everyone who would take them and I still had dozens rot, even though my favorite tomato dish is a fried green tomato sandwich.

    Anybody can beat anybody so it’s not over. Steelers are in absolutely prime position however, and barring an injury meltdown I think they will do it. In fact, they need to be targeting the #1 seed at this point.

    BTW, Hollywood Brown is on twitter complaining publicly about his lack of targets! Trouble in the Ravens camp it seems

    As @HeinzMustard@HeinzMustard has pointed out, we will lose to a team who will draft in the top 5-10. Too early to say.

    I'll pump the brakes on the division is in the bag dialogue. They have to get healthy (again) and let's not forget that teams facing them late in the season with nothing to lose will pull out all the stops to make the Steelers miserable. Long way to go, but it's okay for us to look down the road and speculate, just as long as the Steelers don't.

    Might take 12 or 13 wins for the division. Not there yet.

    It's not, but sure is nice to have Ravens playing catch up for a change!

    My neighbor had a great crop this year. There is absolutely nothing like fresh, home grown tomatoes with your favorite lunch meat. Or, just a tomato sandwich.

    They play us again, so if they win that game they are only a game behind. On the other hand if we win the next game against them then we may be in position to have a virtual lock.

    Love it. I really feel like talented WR's wont like playing with Jackson for the majority of his career... The Ravens will lose games where his attempt volume is high, and hes just such a below average passer that it will be tough even if he does throw a lot to put up big numbers so the WR's make big money
