Path to playoffs..

Steelers most realistic chance is a wildcard. With four games remaining, it’s impossible to know exactly which AFC teams we want to win or lose unless they are playing the Steelers or an NFC team. For example, we might want the Ravens to beat the Browns to eliminate them as a wildcard possibility.

Our 2 must games are the Rats and the Clowns. If we win 1 more, we should get in. But......we will be one and done. I always root to win but I wouldn't be too sad if we lost out and got a much better pick.

Why worry about the higher pick? All Tomlin is going to do is **** it up. That’s one thing I don’t get about the whole blow it up crowd; even if we ended up with a top 5 pick, why should we believe that Tomlin is going to make the best pick/right pick? **** it, might as well win what we can because it’s the lesser of two evils. What’s sad is that either way, it’s such a defeatist mentality, and that’s a product of what Cool Shades has put together for our viewing enjoyment.
 
Please stop. We tied the ******* Lions and got killed by a team with a worse record than us yesterday. The score was close because they called off the dogs on defense. Nobody in our division will play more than one playoff game, none of them. Squeaking in will not force them to get into reality and completely blow it up. It's time. We had a good, no losing seasons run, but it's a wrap on that group.

I love the never quit optimistic attitude! I always have hope until they're officially eliminated. I'd give them a 20% chance. 5% if they lose next week.A 10% chance to actually win a playoff game if they do make it and a 1% chance of winning the superbowl. If the other team all get covid and must forfeit.

Naw. They’re done
 
I don’t know how, but we will get to 8-8-1

Moments and record book moments from an exiting HOF QB are what’s left in the tank..,thanks Ben and I swear...you elevate to GOAT status if ya could just take Tomlin with ya on the way out.

To believe that Steelers can do anything less than win out and still make the playoffs is to believe that the Bengals, Bills, Chargers and Colts will ALL lose MOST of their remaining games. I’m certain the odds of that happening are very slim.

1. Poor coaching
2. Poor offensive line
3. Quarterback that cant carry the team anymore
4. Poor rush defense
5. Poor depth at key positions
6. Poor gameplanning (extension of poor coaching)

I could go on. Will that suffice for you, Gabby?

Have you seen the Bengals and Colts schedule? They’re playing good teams, maybe they won’t lose but there’s a 50/50 chance.

You can officially give up next week, after the Titans rush for about two-fitty on this run defense from hell.
 
We need cinci to win the division.
Beat the **** and sweep the browns and ravens.
We just need to tie the record of the bills.
We can still make the playoffs. Question is do we want to
 
This is not a football team. It is a team of "entertainers". Celebrations for first downs or sacks is a "look at me" moment. There is nothing to celebrate until you win the game and ultimately win the championship. Allowing players to "entertain" after a routine stop, or catch , undermines the real goal.

The only thing sneaking into the playoffs will do for this team is hurt our draft pick. This team will get annihilated in the playoffs.

Tomlin has been one-and-done in the playoffs many times with better teams than this.

Those odds are a little high if I am being honest. I would cut them all in half.

They should be fined for celebrating anything when they're behind.
You're down 20 points, get yo *** back to the huddle.

That's if they won every game. Too late for changing everything up on the fly late in season. You would need guys willing to put in time.

May as well get blitz happy ,more so if Watt doesn't play. I'd probably rest him anyway. Massive new invested to have him go tear a groin.. Then major rehab.

Whatever they have been doing in those 4th quarter comebacks, they need to roll out with that ****. Pretend you're down by 30.


I know. Pipe dream. My perception of what reality could be, is not what reality really is.
 
This team isn’t making the playoffs. They don’t deserve to, and I’d be pissed if they got their ***** beat in the first round again anyway.

They won’t do **** until Tomlin is gone
