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]

Joe Flacco was the only non-elite QB to make the Super Bowl from the AFC in 20 years.
We’ve been down the Ryan Tannehill road for decades. It never ends well. [Reply]

It would be like putting a bunch of money on red because it turned up red the previous 4 times. [Reply]

I've watched every Tits game this year, and honestly can't tell you one thing that's different from last year.....offense goes through Henry and Play Action, defense looks very suspect.
They've fed off a lot of some pretty lousy teams, and had 16 days to prepare for the Bills, who I don't think are nearly as good as some think they are, especially on defense.
Yeah, they are a nice team, and should be taken seriously, but they should probably slow the roll on Super Bowl talk after five games and hardly the "meat" of their schedule.... [Reply]

I can tell you're being honest here because thats pretty much how i feel. Until the Titans TITAN UP that defense super bowl talk is premature.
Look at the chefs last year. It was your defense that started taking over.. or at least giving mahomie enough cushion to win games.
Tannehills stats are better than mahomie since then. Defense will TITAN UP in time for the super bowl run.
I think you guys for sure make the playoffs though.
However pittsburgh or tennessee will represent. #history [Reply]
and if Steelers lost to a bad team, they would then be bad too? Make up your mind. Quality of opponent is a useless argument in parity era. Pitt beat the suck teams. That's how it works. [Reply]
Tannehill is the same QB he was last year. Take away the play-action, put some pressure on him and he's no better than Kirk Cousins. i like that he's become something better than whatever he was in MIA with Gase (:-)) but he's not a top tier QB. He's pretending because he has a freak of nature RB. [Reply]

The problem with the Titans is they live dangerously close to the edge, and they haven't played anyone either.
They won their opener 16-14 at Denver on a last-second field goal.
Edged Jacksonville 33-30 by intercepting a Gardner Minshew throw as the Jags were driving for a game-tying field goal.
Barely knocked off Minnesota 31-30 when Gostkowski nailed a 55 yarder with under two minutes to play.
Finally, last week, they needed overtime to defeat a struggling Houston team.
I also will note that they only played one team that had a winning record, and that was the Bills.
