I mean goddamn this conference seems wrapped up doesn’t it? Not trying to jinx us but it really seems like injuries are our biggest opponent at this point.
The Ravens are fucking frauds. They’re a warm up for us. We literally made these guys look like the JV squad the last 2 meetings.
And sure the Bills and Titans may make us work for the win, but in all honesty we have to play pretty goddamn shitty to lose to those guys.
In order to have any shot at beating us you need 3 things:
1. Elite pass rush
2. Top 10 QB capable of making critical plays
3. Overall talented roster
Steelers are the only team in the AFC that has those 3 things, and even them it’s not like they’re some serious threat like the Patriots a couple years back, but they seem like the best of the rest.
I think at this point it would be disappointing for this team to not get to the SB 3 straight times.
We’re just that good, and we keep drafting well and get better and better. [Reply]
Something is definitely wrong with Big Ben. Steelers should've won that game easily, but instead they floundered around for most of the game against a defense that the Chiefs absolutely torched a few weeks ago. And the Steelers defense isn't nearly as good as I thought they were.
I think the Chiefs are alone in the AFC. We're going to Super Bowl LV, people. [Reply]

Extra game = extra chance for injuries, fatigue, etc. [Reply]

They’re set to burn clock and win with defense. We have too much firepower for any of those AFCN teams IMO. Just stay healthy and win the games we should win. The rest will work out. No lead we can’t overcome, we have the clutch king at QB.
That's just the thing.
If the Steelers get the #1 seed, it's unlikely we'll even play them.

Come on this is the place that still thinks the 1995 Chiefs team was a Super Bowl team. Of course this place loves the Steelers team of this year. [Reply]

This is what I was thinking. They're winning one score games and making notable comebacks. And they don't have much of a deep passing game like we do, so I don't see it being a "they're built for that" thing. Most of the Steelers drives are long and methodical. At some point, they're gonna be in a game or two where they can't come back.
Idk about the next two weeks, although Cincy is really starting to look halfway decent. Burrow is the real deal. [Reply]
