I think its pretty moot... Steelers can blame themselves for going 0-4 against AFC East.

Heck just beat Patriots and Jets and go 2-2. They would control their fate. Two home losses one by 4 points one by 3 points.

But if you want to see a Miracle.

Have to see the Patriots take down the Dolphins...

Need Seahawks Beat the Jets.... but the Jets to not give up hope and beat the Dolphins in the final week.

But also need to not have the Bills wrap up homefield advantage. So kind of need the Bengals to take them down to have the Bills play hard the final week to take down the Pats.

Then of course Steelers have to win out.

But that is the bunch of craziness you need.

Who knows..

Which would put you in the final spot to either be destroyed by Buffalo, KC or Cincy in 1st round of playoffs. All teams you have to go north of 30 points to beat usually... which we have no ability to do currently..

But I do remember back in 2013 Steelers started 0-4 and got to 8-8 to end the season.

The last two weeks they needed like an 8 game parlay of games to go their way.

Then all did just needed one final game.. KC to beat the Chargers, and the KC kicker missed a 41 yard FG to win it (it should of been a flag on chargers too on the attempt that was missed), and then the Chargers won in OT and we got left out..

Not to even mention the early losses in the season like you did, if the steelers would have won the ravens game, they would have control of their own destiny right now.

The only way the #1 seed can be clinched this weekend is if the bills win and the chiefs lose. Any other results will leave the #1 seed unclinched until the final weekend.

The problem with the steelers since last year is that they never won by blowout,so every game is close and they have no margin of error.14 of their 16 wins since last year are by one score or less!

That's not a problem IMO. I would explain this to you but it would probably go over your head.

I will keep it short. Smart coaches train their players that games will generally be close in the NFL. This prepares players mentally to execute and to find ways to win the close games.

Be mentally and physically tough regardless of the circumstances. Learn from mistakes and improve. Keep fighting and you never know what will happen.

What would you message be if you were a coach or a leader? We should blow out every team?

Tomlin is a great leader. He has the acumen of a top football coach. Tomlin isn't perfect and made mistakes. He will continue to make mistakes.

Fans that expect perfection or near perfection every season don't weigh all the factors and set themselves up for disappointment.
