And Then There Was One

[Steeler Nation]

By: Sean McGeown, @seanpmcgeown SteelerNation.com   Going into Sunday afternoon, there were only three undefeated teams left in the NFL: the*Seattle Seahawks, the*Tennessee Titans, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Going into Week 8, there is now only one, and it’s not the Titans or the Seahawks. Thats right, the Steelers are now the only undefeated team […]

Yeah yesterday was chick full of dramatic games... ours was the story of two halves... with us hanging on
The Atlanta Detroit ending, the Cinci Cleveland end... the Arizona Seattle game... i turned off the Seattle game when it looked like Seattle was going to win only to check back to find Arizona took it to ot... and even then it looked like they bungled it

I watched the Seattle game and guys, this is the NFL now. No lead is safe. Not even a 10 point lead closing in on 2min for the Seahawks. I love watching Murray, he's so fun to watch compete. He has 'it' and loves to win. This was a well fought game. Any team, including us, would be lucky to be undefeated.

This league is set up for teams to score. Ds just have to get turnovers to keep games close. That's what happened to the Steelers, and fortunately, they won the first game I can think of in a long while with a -3 TO ratio.

100%

We’ve been saying for a while that old school conservative football is dead... unless it’s extremely late game and you can assure the win by running out the clock or leaving under 20 seconds on the clock, you score until the scoreboard breaks...

Field position is not worth **** right now... not being able to slobber knocker guys over the middle has created a whole new dynamic of speed through the middle that is indefensible if you throw at coverage correctly.... seriously... yards are a joke...

Going forward, the two Baltimore games are hands down our most difficult

After that its the Bills and the colts... all of those are easily losable

The browns will be looking for vengeance at home, and should have chubb back then... a loss Can happen there

The inexplicable losses would be
Dallas... no QB and the absolute worse defense in the league they are going to be a run only team and our run d is great
Cincinnati.... they are a bad team with a young QB who puts up stats... also their locker room seems flamboyant right now...
Jacksonville is a bad team... losing to them would be the least understandable loss of the bad teams... Cinci losses would mean more cause they are in division, but this is a bad afc team through and through...
Washington is ok defensively but their offense is a wr and a lot of meh...

I could make a case for losses to any of these teams, but realistically we ought to be at least 12-4 by season’s end.
None of those teams are unbeatable though... this week probably is the only game we should not be favored in actually
If we managed to collapse like we did two years ago we still should eek into the playoffs...
