Everytime the fans and media want to bury Tomlinson, he finds a way to win a big game.  With Cincy losing Reader and Chase last week, I give the Steelers a decent chance to go into Cincy and pull off the upset.


Game is in Pitt, so Cincy has to go into their house.  Not going to be an easy environment for Browning to operate, even as bad as the Steelers have been.  This is essentially Tomlin’s last gasp, we’ll see if he can rally the troops.

Big week with key matchups including this one.

 

Other big matchups are IND @ ATL, CLE @ HOU, and NE @ DEN.

 

 

We really don't need any help unless we drop a game.  It would be nice not needing a win week 18 to secure a wild card spot, and that is a possibility if things go right the next two weeks.

That Indy game I’m watching closely

 

need atl to win that - I see Indy as a problem for a wildcard spot for us

I think if it comes down to the wild card for us the most likely scenario is making it in with both CLE and IND.  In this scenario we just need to beat out HOU, DEN, and CIN.  I don’t think PIT is a factor.

I don't love the idea of needing any help Week 18.  Hopefully it's all squared away by then (aside from us needing to take care of our own business).  Who knows which playoff bound teams have what to play for in the final week of the regular season.  

 

 

But some QB is hoping to get a windfall from #BillsMafia!

With the remaining schedule for the Ravens and the Chiefs -  The chiefs are licking their chops for that #1 seed once again

Well, the situation is really complicated.  Have faith that if the Bills win out, they're in.  Hopefully as the 3 or even 2 seed, so they get a home game, but if they keep playing like they have it doesn't matter.

 

As for which games to root for, just sit back and watch.  Someone told me, not sure I believe them, that what we do while watching has no effect on the game.

Didn't the Panthers have just 5,200 attendance last week? I think they get the trophy. The Chargers would probably be up there too if they were still in SD (LA is an easy trip for visiting fans).

I’m not going to pretend to know the Panther attendance regularity.

 

This I know. Pats pre-Brady were non existent. I lived in CT/MA since ‘78 and I did not know of a Pats fan until TB came along. All of a sudden…..

 

Between them and the pink hat wearing Red Sox fans….Trust me, the “crown” is theirs.

Looks like Pickett is still out and Chase will be out for the Bengals.  Rudolph can't be much worse than Mitch was.  I'm just hoping the Steelers actually show up.  There's been a ton of media buzz about Steelers receivers just giving up on plays.  It would be great to get some help one of these weeks.  

 

I'm focusing on this game because a Steelers victory will put us into the top 7 and give us more control for the final two weeks.  


Don’t look now, but the Jaguars are falling this weekend to the Bucs, which would also be huge for us because the way the AFC South schedule goes with them playing e/o the final weeks, they would take themselves out, opening up a wild card spot.

Jags vs Bucs too. Jags are extremely banged up and the Bucs are playing really well.

I mean Pickett has been just as bad if not worse than either of those 2 anyway...basically it's a giant QB crapfest in Pittsburgh this year. Bengals struggle mightily with the Steelers tho, even when they had Burrow. Would not be surprised at all to see the Steelers win a low scoring slugfest.

My dad grew up in Pittsburgh so all my uncles are Steelers fans. They have been complaining about Tomlin all year and I keep telling them the bigger issue is the QB. They flat out do not have one on the roster.

Check the seats for their game vs Cincy, get back to me. 

The Pats were nothing prior to dynasty. Nobody showed, nobody cared.

 

Dynasty happened. Suddenly all were lifelong, attending fans.

 

Brady leaves and so did the fanbase. 
 

Checkmate.
