But McDermott is 3 and 1 against Tomlin with an average victory of like 11 points 

 

And the only loss was a Week 1 liar that was ultimately decided by a blocked punt TD in the 4th qrtr.

Who takes the Steelers seriously?

 

They had a 4 game lead in the division and everyone was saying Baltimore was going to win the division anyway.

 

Nobody thinks Pittsburgh is any good. Texans would crush them. 

 

There is no part of the Steelers game that is elite. 

 

 

 

Thats true but we also lost to a 2 win Dolphins team and a 5 win Texans team with a backup QB. Another team being bad doesn't mean a win for us. We lost to some crappy teams already.

On the flipside, we probably wont make the playoffs if we lose to the Steelers. Its a fine line bro.

We are not making the playoffs without him being on the field.

the good news is you are both wrong. We are making the playoffs because we are a really good team already in good position and with a favorable remaining schedule. 
 

Played poorly a few times, which hurts less in November than January. Have some injuries but that is the ebb and flow of the NFL. Saying a 7-4 #17 is going to participate in 0.5 postseasons this year is never a lock but is the easiest over to take in a long time. 
 

Go Bills

I am hoping that I am wrong and that you are correct.

I agree but I'm keeping Kincaid out until he's 💯. We must have him for the playoffs 

 

 

This idea that the playoffs are automatic and we need to "save" players is wrongheaded imo.  We are fighting for our playoff lives, every game is vital.  We are going to lose some more, we can't lose too many more.
