You have to look at more than records especially when it comes to division games. Philly has a lot of weapons, Wash is playing at a high level, and of course KC is undefeated. The Browns have a real QB now and a solid D, the Bengals are pretty loaded w/ offensive talent, and the Ravens games are usually tough. There are 0 easy games on there. To think otherwise is just ignorant. The Ravens and Wash are in the top 5 for total TDs and the Bengals are 7th. We "should" beat the browns, but they have a solid D and if Winston gets hot it will sure make things interesting. I bet the Ravens thought they would beat the Browns as well....

Higgins and all the receivers will be healthy when we play the Bengals twice and now we get Cleveland twice without garbage Watston. Typical of our luck.
 
Baltimores schedule down the stretch vs ours

They play one less game, but their extra game thus far was a loss.

We both play a Thursday, Wednesday, and Saturday game...

We have two games vs them... and they do have a schedule advantage there... they play in pittsburgh coming off of a ten day break after their Thursday night game this week... and the game in Baltimore is a short week Saturday game two weeks after their bye where they play the giants the week before while the Steelers come in after playing the eagles..

Ravens home : Pit, Cle, Cin, Phi
Ravens Away: Pit, Hou, LAC, NYG

Steelers Home: Bal, Cle, Cin, KC
Steelers Away: Bal, Cle, Cin, Phi, Was

Winning this week in Washington is important to keep the pressure on them going into our game in two weeks...

The Ravens play the Bengals this Thursday.
The Bengals took them to OT last game.
We probably arent lucky enough for the Ratbirds to get another Division loss, but it would be very nice... if that were to happen, then it skewers everything in our favor with one win vs the Ravens

Nice break down of PO Scenario, thank you.

That schedule does favor the rats, especially when playing us.

Tell me the NFL favors the rats, without telling me they favor the rats. Schedule shows this

STEELERS will have to rise up to the challenge and it is a good thing they have a veteran QB who has been there. He can stabilize a lot of behind the scene stuff. A HC who can put the Pom-poms a little higher in keeping them focused and play the NOW, will help also. Coach Tomlin is a good motivator and needed for this second 1/2 stretch.

As tiebreakers go, obviously head to head will be the big one, and we havent played those or any division games yet...

But almost every game left for Pit and Bal are common games...only Houston isnt.. and they are Afc.. so if we split with Baltimore this season its going to be real hard for Baltimore to gain the tiebreaker advantage over us...

Our losses are Indy... which is afc but not common with Bal, and Dallas, which isnt Afc but is common with Baltimore

Baltimores losses are
KC- AFC and Common
LV- AFC and Common
CLE- AFC, Div, and Common

That colts game loss sucks for wild card scenarios, but as far as division tiebreakers, its far better than the LV loss Baltimore has..

And Dallas is a common game, but it isnt an AFC game so if it got to divisional tiebreaker 4, its far better than the three afc losses the ravens have...

The Steelers will lose 7 of their last 9 games. Let's not say it was because we lacked one WR. Let's not say it was the tougher schedule down the stretch. I will say what I've said since Tomlin blew the Super Bowl against an injured Packer secondary, "MIKE TOMLIN needs to be fired!" He'll wear the defense out next week with his conservative play calling. He'll lose against veteran QBs. Mahomes, Jackson, Hurts, Burrows, and even Winston will be a veteran when the Steelers face him. I'm being generous when I give them 2 wins out of the next 9. I'm assuming a split with the the Browns but a sweep by the Ravens. I'm also thinking the Chiefs will have their 2nd string in for the meaningless 2nd last game of the season & Tomlin will win with 6 field goals 18 to14.

Barely worth saying it twice, but now that one thinks about it,………. It’s worth a third shot………

These games don’t become PO caliper until they get down to having to rely on other teams so-as we can get in………

refreshing new thought process. so you are actually in favor of Tomlin being fired. that is a different perspective. thanks for sharing

This sounds eerily similar to some other twatwaffle that predicted a 0-6 stretch…how’d that work out?

Keep dreaming troll, “I’m being generous when I give them 2 wins”

Go jump off the nearest bridge up at that mistake by the lake

Your prediction sounds dumber than most the babbling of Cooch

Award for dumbest post of the week!

You ain’t no Steeler fan otherwise you wouldn’t have omitted these 4 words after that dismal prediction... “I hope I’m wrong”.

WhoAly MhoAly !!!! I’m going to chalk this post up to smoking or ingesting bad product. Come back in 9weeks as it should be wore off by then. There could possibly be lingering effects, but keep drinking plenty of water (NOT Cleveland water, may have to import it in, or home game when browns lose to Steelers……. Nation guard will be called in and you could get water from them)………….

Tomlin hasnt had a losing record in the division since 2009. He was 5-1 last year and has a better squad this year. I think expecting him to lose 7 games is just absurd thinking
