    In the words of Aaron Rodgers "R-E-L-A-X". This team is way too talented offensively and the defense will figure something out to give the offense a chance. I am very confident we not only make the playoffs but win the North. Tomlin will find a way to right the ship and it starts vs the Bucs on Monday night.

    Should Pittsburgh end up losing on Monday Night, that would likely end any chances to secure a Wild Card as those non conference games yield far greater impact than some make them out to be. Add the conference loss and this issue is magnified even more come the playoff seedings.



    At that point, Pittsburgh has to win the divison via a clean sweep. If not, they will likely miss the playoffs. Again though, this is all under the assumption of Pittsburgh losing yet again.

    we cant beat ne/jax, we usually split with ravens, and bengals look better so maybe a split there. That's 4 almost automatic losses lol.

    To make the playoffs we will need to win at least 9 games. Care to list the 9 games you think we will win? The Browns aren't even a guaranteed W at this point.

    Saints and Raiders are pretty much guaranteed losses, too. Steelers don't win in Oakland and Brees owns the Steelers D, like Brady. So that's 8 wins tops. 8-7-1

    Keep in mind I did say "under the assumption".


    I also believe we can win on Monday Night. I also believe that game will be James Washington's coming out party.

    Offense is the only bright spot at the moment. Special Teams are nothing to write home about. The defense is horrible. I don't think this is going to be our year.

    No. Best guess is they finish 7-8-1. I don’t see them beating Bucs, Pats, Saints, Jags, Chargers, or Falcons. These team like to sling it and we just can’t stop it.

    We also are owned by jax at home. Another loss. Add in GB with Rodgers and now were looking at 6 wins possibly.

    good. If we are not good enough to beat them then I want us to be exposed. Make some changes

    Saving grace is that we still have 2 against Ravens, 2 against Bengals, 1 and against Cleveland.

    Got to win them all. Do that win the division. Browns look more competitive. they are going to give the Ravens and Bengals games now.

    Crazy as it is there have been 7-9 and 8-8 teams win the division and make the playoffs. While 10-6 teams get left at home watching.

    No problem. We don't play Packers again until 2021... unless we meet them in the Super Bowl, which is highly unlikely.

    He must have meant when Steelers face them in the SB this year (with the worse record ever for a SB team). :rolleyes:


    Edit - sorry Heinz, didn't see your post saying the same thing. Too many posts to read, so little time. ;)

    Packers are more than capable of making a Super Bowl run in 2018 as long as Rodgers is healthy. Steelers... not so much.

    Did you see how wilted Brady and Co. looked in Florida Sunday night in J-Ville? The Steeler's D was wilting in the Burgh Sunday afternoon. It's most likely going to be miserably hot and humid this next Monday night. Florida isn't friendly to the Steeler's - or any Pittsburgh sports team for that matter. Pitt Panthers over Miami last year was in the Burgh.
