This years squad isn’t better than those teams.

This year the steelers are playing a lot better in the last month than the last two years they have better defense (especially against the run) than in 2021,better ball control on offense even if they don't score a lot of points who is still a major problem but yes I agree if the steelers would be in the playoffs, we would be very happy if the game is still close after halftime!...I don't think it's possible to win!

To clarify, Eisen might have meant that “of the Wild Card teams”, the most dangerous is the Steelers.

But, according to me, the Steelers can indeed hang with ANYONE!!! :willy:

Pickens runs very poor routes, I have no doubt he will improve but I have doubts he becomes truly dominant. Look at the jump balls, he doesn't fight for them regularly

He leads the league in contested catches.

Also leads the league (tied) in contested catches 20+ yards down the field.

Hey Rich, how scary of a playoff team could we have been after struggling to gain momentum against the Browns? You definitely got your ad revenue pumping with this piece though.
