The toughest part of our schedule is upon us. The next three weeks as we play the Browns, and at Ravens and Titans. Combined these teams are 9 wins, and 2 losses. How good are the Steelers? We'll know after this three game stretch. While going 1-2 won't hurt of playoff chances too much, going 2-1, or dare I say 3-0 will get me thinking this could be a special season.
 
That’s pretty obvious.

In any case, in the next three weeks you will find some negativity to pounce on in regards to players, coaches or Colbert.

I'm not taking them lightly but I see the browns as a win.

Ravens are due respect but I alaso see a win as well.

**** are fun to play with, can't go wrong playing with ****,.....Win WIN




OK, I said it 3-0 next three weeks but I'm also wearing B & G glasses and eating a samich outtA a OFFICIAL Steelers glad samich bag.






Salute the nation
 
Definitely a tough stretch with two division rivals and a former division rival that always plays the Steelers tough. It's pretty important to win this week because fans or no fans, Tennessee and Baltimore are difficult stadiums to win in.
 
2-1 or better (and Ben stays healthy) they will end up with at least 12 wins and are definite contenders. 1-2 they will make playoffs but be a wildcard. 0-3 they will be scratching their *** to get in the playoffs. The threshold for playoffs will be 10 wins with a tiebreaker. Never mind the added spot. Look at the divisions and contending playoff teams. South has two, North has three, west has two. The Pats will end up with 10 wins and the East will have two.

Watson was the best QB they had faced and the Eagles really were the best front 7 they had faced this year. Typically the Steelers would have lost to 1 or 2 of these teams in the past leaving the fans starting up fire Tomlin threads. They beat who their next opponent was on this past schedule. They are 4-0. At this stage in the NFL, they need to beat who they're supposed to be. The secondary is once again a work in progress. I think 39 will have a good game against Cleveland (taking advantage of Mayfield rolling to his right and throwing across his body like he likes to do). I hope MT has learned a valuable lesson from watching his 17 point lead disappear by going into cruise control and keep his foot on the accelerator.
 
Given the fact that the secondary is struggling at the moment for whatever reasons and that the Browns have consistently demonstrated they can score points if they have opportunities this would be a very good game to plan on ball control and limiting the time the Browns have to work with.

Lots of running and time-eating in this one. Force the Browns into a situation where they have to score quickly and apply pressure accordingly. JuJu has been money on short routes and moving the chains and it is not unreasonable to think that the Browns are just as enamored of the shiny new toy in Claypool as the Steeler fans are. That means Claypool may be able to cause some coverage weaknesses if he is used properly. Again, ball control, be patient, just slowly choke the Browns out.
