    Don`t remember if I answered this survey, but at the moment I think we have a real shot to win the division.

    Biggest reason why is I think the Ratbird defense is suspect. They give up a good amount of points and we are stingy.

    I am sure the NFL will put the Ravens-Steelers game on SNF in week 11....Right now Colts-Jets are the matchup on SNF in that day and CBS can only protect one game and they will likely protect the Chiefs-Bills games....

    We can say that now... but wait until the Commanders game. This game is ripe for a letdown on defense....and the offense won't be able to keep up. See 49ers game from last year. I don't trust this Tomlin trademark soft zone D vs. their offense. Klingsbury/Daniels/Ekeler/McLaurin will carve this D up.

    I am not 100% sold on the defense...They are great right now but the opposing offense were also weak.The best offense we face it was the falcons and they were great in that game but it was also only the week 1....After that it was like maybe the colts the best offense we face...

    In the second half of the season,they will face several very good offense,like the commanders at the start after the bye

    Maybe but I still think the steelers offense will have a first down in the first 28 minutes vs Commanders....It was not the case vs 49ers last year

    So what? They aren't going to shut down every team they face, nobody is saying this is the Steel Curtain defense.

    I don't know about that. The offense disappeared on several occasions over the past decade, when we had better skill players and o-line than we have now.

    It's really weird that we won't play a divisional game until week 10. I think it's a good thing as we work out our identity on offense, but really can't tell how we will do until we get into these AFCN games.

    The Ravens have the best team in the North, but they are a lot more vulnerable than they've been in years past on Defense. They are built differently than us with a very potent offense and a very meh defense. I think that they are VERY beatable for us. It will likely be a lot more high scoring than in years' past, but close games nonetheless. It could look a lot more like the 2017 39-38 contest, but competitive nonetheless.

    I would say they the Bengals should be competitive contests, but I think we are better as a team overall. Jameis helped the Browns offense last week, but I don't expect them to make a huge turnaround. They aren't a very good team. It will come down to us and the Ravens, and if either team sweeps both games... that team will likely win the division.

    The ravens defense are not the same this year,awful against the pass and they have not been a good teams in years in game decided by one score....Big reason why the steelers are 7-1 vs ravens since 2020.

    Just the fact that the Ravens have lost to the Browns and Raiders goes to show this season is far from settled. If we stay our current course we have just as good a chance as anyone to win the division.

    That won't happen because the Steelers play the Browns on Thursday after the Ravens game.

    It’s not they already flexed a game to that slot. I suppose it could move to 4:25?
