Early race for the 1 seed and homefield advantage...

Yes... given Tomlin's tendencies to play down to lesser teams and not have the team ready.

 

Well this is a different team this season then those teams from the past. I don’t see any Tomlin special bad losses on the schedule this season. I think the only games the Steelers potentially lose are either the Ravens game at home or at Buffalo. I don’t see a loss to a team like Dallas,Cinicinnati, Jacksonville or Washington.

 

So.... what happened in those instances against Houston and Philly?!

 

The narrative with Tomlin doesn't apply this year. I question whether some of you actually watch the games. Tomlin hasn't coached one bad game this season. Teams coming back at the end is an NFL issue. Because of the piece of **** officiating.

And some need to come to the reality that the Steelers will likely lose a few games before the seasons over. 14-2 or 13-3 are likely now.

 

I think 14-2 or 15-1 is more likely. I have a hard time finding 2 Potential losses on this remaining schedule much less 3. I just don’t see it happening. I personally think it’s gonna take 15-1 to get the 1 seed bye week and homefield throughout over the Chiefs.

 

I really wish you hadn't said that

 

I'm not willing to say that the narrative doesn't apply this year because Tomlin has "a lot" of years of undisciplined play. And...yes....Tomlin has coached a couple bad games this year but because they were against terribly weak opponents, it didn't end up in a loss.

I will give credit where it is due and say that "someone", probably Tomlin, has cleaned up the stupid defensive penalties which were allowing dead teams back into games.

 

This was probably the best place to put this:

 

I tend to agree with the fact the Steelers have breakdowns during the season where we lose to an inferior team but this season just feels different. Sometimes I think Tomlin reads this board and is going to make this year different. Usually I'm a pessimist but I do not think we lay an egg this year.

My thinking is we are 10-0 on Thanksgiving morning.
