We are going far into the playoffs. IF ...

Let me think about this..... The Steelers had issues stopping the run, and running the ball until Tomlin finally wised up. We spotted the Jet 32 points.

BUT we had great QB play. Rodgers was accurate and on point. He did not have good protection. Yet he committed zero turnovers and threw for 4 touchdowns.

And we won. When was the last time the D played like this and we won?

It helps to have Boz nailing a 56 and 60 yard field goals. He is a hero too.

 

Last year at Cincy

For the question in the title,this is easy...The steelers need that Rodgers play at a MVP level and the defense need to step up when this is the time.Winning the division would help too but it won't be easy with the ravens in our division

 

Even Nostradamus wouldn't make this call this early.

 

if your mother had a beard, she'd be your father.

the OLINE sucked (the #1 worry entering the season) and the defense looked OLD and SLOW - another concern. and of course, we still have our coaching

the Jets suck - they might be a .500 team, but I doubt it.

Don't get too excited, ANYBODY.

 

Understand different era, different team but the best Steeler team ever IMO started 1-4. Really hard to judge much after game 1.

 

And I thought I was a homer.

 

Anyone watched Sunday football saw the Ravens line run all over Buffalo. The Raven’s board were on suicide watch last night after Harbaugh’s conservative implosion in the 2nd half. If our defense plays them like the Jets, easily they will put a 50 on the board. Steelers have a lot of changes needed to make the playoffs.

 

We are going far in the playoffs if: Allen, Jackson and Mahomes are on IR.

 

If we don’t get pass rush upfront we could have “the Flash” at safety and it won’t matter! We have to cause chaos upfront, if not it is just going through the motions.

 

What I saw was a team put up 15 points in the fourth and then lay an egg.. Seem very Raveneque to me.

 

Might want to add Herbert and Burrow if their team makes the Playoffs.

 

Harbaugh has blown 17 games in his career while leading by 10 or more in the 4th quarter, the most in NFL history.

 

Rodgers MUST NOT get hit, he has some old man legs. Can the Steelers keep him clean?

 

No.

 

We aren't even making the playoffs if Austin and Tomlin persist in making the 425 formation our base set.

 

No she wouldn't. She'd just be your bearded mother..
If she was your mother, she would still be your mother.
You worded this wrong. LoL.

 

No , wait. We don't change anything on D since Tomlin has been here. It's the same D every year. So how could that be???
Also @Animus this isn't at you, I'm just using your post to point something out .

 

Yep, if the Charges can continue to play like they did, they are a real threat. Cincy played like crap, which they often do in early season, one early loss kept them out of the PO's last year. You really can not react to strongly on hoe a team preforms this early, except be thankful for the win and acknowledge (in our case) there needs to be a lot of improvement in many aspects to get to the PO's let alone far beyond.

 

When's the last time Watt showed up in the playoffs? When's the last time Heyward showed up in the playoffs? Oh and we might be down to Thompson at QB if Jones gets Rodgers and Mason killed.

 

Maybe Khan will trade for a RB before the deadline this fall?

 

Maybe, our RB room of Warren, Gainwell and Johnson is one of the worst in the league.
