Yes, the steelers will make the playoffs because this division sucks. They may even win a game in the playoffs if they get to play the Chiefs with noodle arm Alex Smith, Houston with Osweiler or even Denver with Simien. But I can't see them beating a team with a competent QB like Oakland or New England.
I don't think they make it. It isn't a given they win another game, for crying out loud.
They are just a bad football team that was poorly put together, starting with, IMO, not resigning Steve McClendon. If you think you are in a SB window, you don't get rid of solid, contributing vets. Part of the problem with the D is the utter lack of anyone stout in the middle. I don't think I have seen a Steeler team so lacking in LB talent since about 1986. The safeties suck. I actually think they will be OK down the line at corner, as Cockrell must be doing something right as teams don't throw much his way and at least Burns competes. Offensively they are all finesse. Why you build a finesse team playing on grass in a cold weather city is beyond my comprehension.

That doesn't inspire much hope.

If we play Oakland with our O in gear, we could win a shoot out. Their D is only a little better than ours, last I checked.

Lose 4 of last 7 and go 7-9 missing playoffs. Scapegoats will fall after the season with Butler, ST Coach, maybe Carnell Lake, getting fired. The Rooney Poster Boy keeps his job since the team will have done their due diligence by firing his assistants.

We can run the table from here on out. We're done playing our tough games. Hopefully Cleveland can jump start us on stacking 7 wins. If this happens, we will be ready for the playoffs. Cincy and Balt, both being a game up today, still don't have the division if we win out.
Not sure if we will win out, but I think we will win the division, and that puts us in the playoffs.

The game in Buffalo is our toughest remaining game IMO. Colts game will be tough too since it's on the road.

I agree that the steelers could win all their remaining games because they play a bunch of ****** teams
Browns twice - no explanation necessary
@Colts - no run game, no defense
Giants - bad OL, no run game, double Beckham and that offense struggles
@Bills - defense improving as they get healthy, but they are too aggressive and Ben plays well vs that style. They have no WRs.
@ Bengals - defense not great, offense is better with Eifert but they don't have a #2 WR
Ravens - as long as the steelers don't waste their time trying to run at them, this should be a beatdown.
They will probably lose at least once so i'm guessing they finish 10-6

My gut feeling says they are out. I'm predicting an 8-8. I see two ugly wins against the Browns. A win in the color rush uni's and against the G-men. Eli looks terrible
4 must wins are the division games. Lose to Baltimore and season is over, especially if Baltimore beats the Cowgirls this week. Lose 1 game and probably make it. Lose 2 games and we need Baltimore to lose 3. The Bungles are pretty much out of it with their loss last night.
A good start will be to absolutely light up the Clowns. If we don't win by at least three TD's, this team just doesn't have what it takes.

Too soon to say but probably not.

I've allready stated they make the playoffs. One thing to realize though is when they win the super bowl, we will keep all coaching staff and MOST all pl;Ayers in tact. I could live with that,................can you?

I think this has been the trend in recent years. It could be due to the fact that Cowher's players started to get old or retired, or Lebaue's retirement.....

Lol @ the idea that we will win lots more games because we don't have any more difficult opponents
Have we watched this team the past 7 seasons or..?

If they win the SB then yes. Absolutely fine
I believe we will make the play-offs, due to the ****** Division we're in and the easy schedule. We may finish 10-6 or 9-7, and even 9-7 should be enough to win the Division. But as is common under Tomlin, we'll be one and out in the play-offs, unless we play the Bungals again!!!!
Last year we didn't win the play-off game against the Bungals, they gifted it to us.

We are a backs against the wall team, when we are rolling is when we seem to stumble vs chumps. With our backs now up to the wall we go on a run. We crush the Stains, unleashing hell and it's game on. We will win our home games vs Colts (our *******) and the Giants and sweep our remaining division games. That alone puts us at 10 wins with a division win, who knows what the hell happens up in Buffalo (could see that going either way). As we head into the playoffs at 10-6 or dream scenario of 11-5 nobody is going to want to face a red hot peaking at the right time Steeler squad that rips through the competition scoring 30+ a game. Then it's dust off the WC chump in the Burgh, hit the road to beat a AFC west squad and wind up in Foxboro for round 2 with **** THE PATRIOTS and a red hot team and a healthy Ben!
HERE WE GO STEELERS!!!
