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]
I just cannot imagine a scenario where Big Rape outguns Mahomes in a playoff matchup. I don't care how good the Steelers D has played. In crunch time, in an elimination game, you would be a dumb fool to pick against Mahomes. [Reply]

Source: The #Vikings have released G Pat Elflein. The veteran now goes on waivers. Just off IR, he’s healthy now and this gives him the opportunity to get some real playing time elsewhere.
Can’t start threads so all my updates will be in random shit. [Reply]
Some interesting factoids on BigRape in the postseason since 2011...
5 Post-season appearances w/ 3 one-and done
3-5 record
Those 3 wins were against :
1. Dolphins w/ back-up Matt Moore/Adam Gase.
2. Alex Smith/Chiefs.. The Steelers didn't score a touchdown that game. KC 2 pt. conversion called back for phantom holding.
3. Cincinnati...where the Bengals were leading 16-15 with 1:30 left. They had a first down on the Steelers 25...all they had to do is not fumble and the game is over. They fumbled...then with :18 seconds left, Pittsburgh on the 50, with no time outs...Burficit levels Brown, fight...Pac-man Jones gets a separate personal foul. So 30 yards of penalties when the game is essentially over...Pitt kicks a FG from the 20.
He could easily be 1-7
One AFC Championship appearance (L)...Pittsburgh managed 17 points.
0 Superbowl appearances...
I was surprised when I started looking into it...considering the hype of BigRape being a big-game baller. He hasn't been very good in the play-offs. [Reply]

Now I WANT a Steelers-Chiefs playoff match up, just so Mahomes can light Steve Nelson up. Then he can suit up for Undisputed the next day so he can talk about how Mahomes is his new daddy-I mean GOAT. [Reply]
