The sky is not falling

[RunNGun]

Going into this season, these are MUST WIN games. They have a stretch of schedule that goes Titans, Packers, BengLs, Ravens, Patriots...that’s a gauntlet and they’ll be lucky to come out of that 3-2...

At this point in the season, the only games I would call must win games are divisional opponents. If we sweep the division then I like our odds of at least getting a 1st round home playoff game.

Next week should be fun.....both teams will be pissed. I will be attending the Ratbirds game, and actually tailgating with Ravens fans, (but I'll slip something in their beers).

Do it

Put Viagra in their drinks

Make them walk around with boners all day

The sky isn't falling but its a huge missed opportunity to move ahead in the divison and stay there. I'd guess the Steelers will probably be at the mercy of other teams winning and losing to get into the playoffs again this year.

In the AFCN, it's like that virtually every year. It's also interesting how often the Ravens and Steelers fail to capitalize on opportunities to put space between them in the standings.

I like your style

In light of today's loss, I've adjusted my prediction:

18-1

[cubanstogie]

did the offense ever go no huddle today. I was watching on a stream and missed a couple of drives. It seems when the offense is sluggish the no huddle usaully gives them a spark but I did not see that today with the exception of end of half.

[katmandu]

No they haven't. Besides AB none of them have played very well. I think it should be noted that even though he hasn't turned the ball over much, Ben has been woefully inaccurate.

Maybe when Le'Veon decides to end his hold out and come back will the Offense turn around !

How long do yinz think he will hold out ???

We NEED Le'Veon to save us ! Get back up off the couch Le'Veon ! Your team NEEDS you !!

...... Oh.... Sorry..... I just saw he came back to the team (3) WEEKS ago ! :ROLLEYES:

Wonder what that will do to the women who's beer I slip it in.

This sounds like an opportunity for one of the biggest scientific advances in years. I demand you do it for the benefit of humanity.

This is how people win Nobel prizes and shit.

A first round home games not gonna do much if you have to go to New England the following week. They won’t win that game 100 out of 100 times.

This is the one that gets them going!

[43Hitman]

They need to find their identity on offense in a bad way.

[BlackAndGold]

Season isn't over by any means, just frustrating that this happens every year.

This is the easy part of the schedule, should be collecting wins against teams like Chicago.

Next four games: @Ravens, Jaguars, @Chiefs, Bengals, @Lions.

[AtlantaDan]

A first round home games not gonna do much if you have to go to New England the following week. They won’t win that game 100 out of 100 times.

The master plan is #4 seed Raiders (who get beat up in AFC West) at New England/Titans (who roll through AFC South and get #3 seed) at Steelers

Ben shreds LeBeau defense and then says he always knew it could be beat on following Tuesday morning radio show while adding he is not retiring but LeBeau should

Raiders revenge the tuck game by beating pats and then in -10 wind chill lose to Steelers in AFC championship - Bell runs for 225 yards and 100 yards receiving - statue outside of Heinz bronzed for Bell immediately with Steelers reducing 2018 offer by cost of statue

That fantasy beats current reality

[GBMelBlount]

I think this season will be like last season with regard to us taking 1/2 the season to gel (on both sides of the ball) and then finishing strong.

Ben, Bell and Bryant will need more time on offense.

And of course the defense is very young.

So if we 5-3 or better after 8 games, I will be ok with that, especially the way our division looks.

It's all about peaking at the right time.

We share the same record with the Pats. I understand you're assumption that the Pats will be a 1 or 2 seed, however, the playing field is even at this point. I'm still confident we can get it together and play up to our potential. The season is still young. Next week will tell us what this team is about.

It's a long season, and the cliché holds: any given Sunday.

Steelers lose to Bears.
Ravens blown out by Jaguars.
Jets didn't get the memo to quit on the season.
Heck, even the unstoppable Taperiots almost lost to Deshaun Watson.

[RunNGun]

They need to find their identity on offense in a bad way.

Agreed. That's really what is holding this team back right now.

[DesertSteel]

The sky is not falling!!! ......... it already fell :-/

Interesting. Ben, the WR's and RB's have been playing together for years. Top QB, RB & WR, the O-Line right up there and they can't find their identity? I know I'm old, but I must be getting really old.

[SteelMayhem72]

Im gonna bet that Ben will retire FOR SURE after this season...I would.

Doesn't matter R1 pick for the Steelers OLB.

[SteelMayhem72]

Im also at the point where they need to play Conner, Lev just looks like he has lost drive...must be writing some rap songs in his head

Facts: The O-line has struggled to open up running lanes.

Raiders getting thumped tonight too.

[BurghBoy412]

Win next week and your 3-1 in the 1st quarter of the season. On pace for 12-4

A majority of the O has been together for a long time, so you wouldn't think it would be an issue. Maybe it's not so much our identity, but simply our inability to run the football. There's no consistency there and they definitely haven't committed to the run in any game.
