    What's sad is... the Ravens are a better team even with a rookie QB and roster that doesn't look very good on paper.

    The Ravens are not a better team then the Steelers overall. They don’t have a better QB and offense then the Steelers, and the Steelers gashed their defense the last time they played in Baltimore. They aren’t a better team and the Steelers are still going to win this division. Despite the last two Steelers losses the Ravens still need way too many unlikely scenarios these last 4 weeks to overtake the Steelers and still win this division. It’s not happening.

    If we get in and get the Bolts at home again I believe we come out on top be cause the NFL is gonna want to do damage control from this last **** show just beat the Raiders and Bengals and we should be ok. In the playoffs it's win or go home!!!

    A playoff probability site I look at gives the Steelers:
    Chance of winning the division. 70%
    Chance of WC 8%
    Missing the playoffs 21%
    First round bye 1%

    Before last night chances were:
    Division 83%
    WC. 6%
    Missing the playoffs 11%
    First round bye 12%

    The Steelers are still likely to win the div and make the playoffs. But the bye took a huge hit yesterday. And is probably gone.

    Agree with the Ravens not having a better team overall, however they do make in game adjustments which the Steelers don't do. Last game against NE we never tried to make adjustments to stop Gronk, we just kept doing the same things over and over., Against the Broncos we kept on throwing over and over at the one yard line when all we had to do was run it in on three trIes like we did against the Chargers. Against the Chargers we kept doing the same thing over and over with covering Allen with linebackers when everybody could see it wasn't working.

    IT'S OKAY TO MAKE IN GAME ADJUSTMENTS WHEN SOMETHING IS CLEARLY NOT WORKING.

    This team probably won't make the payoffs. Sad to say.

    It's time to hope for the Chiefs, Chargers or Texans to upset the Patriots in the playoffs. It would be nice to see somebody besides the damn Patriots represent the AFC. I refuse to watch the Super Bowl, again... if those bastards make it.

    Yeah,
    Man, I appreciate math - but it definitely doesn't tell the story given the last 3 games.

    Ya the bye week most likely went down the toilet with that loss last night . Even if they do beat the Pats now they most likely are not gonna finish ahead of them in the standings even if both are wildcard teams which means should they both meet in the playoffs the Pats will have the home field and the game will once again be in Foxboro where the Steelers chances of winning are not very good.

    Not very good? I'd say there is NO chance of winning at Foxboro. It won't matter anyway... either the Steelers will squeak by, make the playoffs and be one and done... or the Ravens will win the North and Steelers will be farting into their couches in January, watching the playoffs on TV.
