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]

Neither are the Steelers. That's the point. [Reply]

We seem to play better on the road, so getting the two seed wouldn’t be the worst thing. [Reply]

The Steelers have won a bunch of close games this year by scoring in the last few minutes.
On the flip side, the Colts have lost a bunch of games because Rivers is anti-clutch.
I'm not saying the Steelers are that good. But their schedule is garbage. Cleveland is garbage, Indy is way overrated, Buffalo is streaky, and the WFT is in the NFC East.
There's a very real possibility they go 16-0, although I'm guessing 15-1 is most likely. I don't see them losing 2 or more at this point because the competition just isn't there. [Reply]
A blitz happy defense with 50 year old joe Hayden and Steven nelson as the top 2 corners arent stopping the KC passing attack.
Their pass D is wholly untested going against the NFC east. Their quality wins against tennessee, baltimore, and cleveland are wins over run first offenses. They're a good team, but that pass D is smoke and mirrors... like the 2010 KC offense
They haven't SEEN anything like KC. Not even close. [Reply]
