This was a win and I'll take all I can get, but this NE game doesn't bolster my confidence much. NE did as much to beat themselves as we did.

If there’s anytime to do it, now is the time as the whole team is on the decline...lol.
It’s great that they beat the Pats, just sucks that they dropped on to the Raiders, gave one way to the Chargers and gave one to the Broncos.
They should be beating the Patriots...Steelers have way more talent than them. As they did last year...
Still pretty low
patriots looked terrible
And we lost to the lowly raiders, gave one away to chargers the week before that, and gave another to the lousy broncos
Let that all sink in. This team is the very definition of underachieving.
Much needed win but against a slightly above average team they are now. I'll take it and feels good beating them! Some good signs with Rogers, Samuels and Washington. We just got to make the playoffs and who knows ? Talent is there and we can compete with anyone when we are up for it!
Can't talk playoffs yet because we still may have to win out depending on how Baltimore does. If they beat the Chargers next week, we'll be in a bad spot with a loss vs New Orleans. I wish I could say I was optimistic about that game, but it's going to be TOUGH. Between NE and NO I thought today's game was the much more winnable one. To be quite honest I'm not all that impressed with the Chargers, and the Ravens could possibly beat them.
The one advantage we have is that they're on a short week, but still, the Saints at home will be tough sledding any way you put it.
Steelers likely treated this as their Super Bowl. How will they fare the rest of the way. Can't see them being competitive against New Orleans after such an emotional win especially in the Superdome
The good thing is the Chargers are still playing for a 1 seed, so they got something to play for. The Saints pretty much have their 1 seed locked up with the Rams loss tonight, and a short week.
Well hopefully the Chargers will do us a favor and, beat the ravens. If they don't it will be another must win for the Steelers VS Saints on the road.
Yeah, a day later I'm still all over the place. It was nice to see our defense not let up all game. They had only one breakdown and then one personnel issue where two CBs collided leaving a WR free. Their work in the fourth quarter forcing that turnover and stopping a driving offense really impressed me. I know, people are saying this isn't the same Patriots team. Sure. But that Patriots team is a ton better than the Raiders or Jags. So . . .
And yet, I really don't want to get my hopes up.
Wild card doesn't look good right now, we'd have to go 1-1, which we can, but Colts and Titans would also both have to go 1-1, and although they play each other the last game, I highly doubt either loses this weeks game, so one of them would be 2-0. So, we have to keep pace with the Ravens to win the division. Saturday's game between the Ravens and Chargers is huge, if the Ravens win we're in trouble. Please Santa, give me a Chargers win!
Possible. But for some stupid reason (as I keep getting sucked in) I think the Steelers may have turned a corner against the Pats*. I'm hoping that was the monkey-off-the-back game we so needed.

Not sure if we make the playoffs
Confidence is low right now. If they don't make it, you can go back to the Raiders game as to the reason why. Mike "Game Flow" Tomlin is responsible IMO.
I'd put it at 33% chance to win the division and less than 2% chance to make it in as a WC.
First the WC was all but eliminated yesterday with the Titans win. Assuming Colts beats the Giants today at Indy they then play the Titans next week. Winner will have 10 wins eliminating the Steelers from that passage.
As far as the division goes. I don't see us beating the Saints in their building. I don't know if there's a team in the league that you would expect to go in there and win? So it comes down to next week. I know the Bengals would love to beat us and spoil our last chance. But I don't think they have the horses to pull it off. Plus when the going gets tough the Bungles pack it in .
So that means our fate will ride with the Browns. And I like it! This season every time a team gets propped up as high and mighty as the Ravens are currently being they come thudding back to reality. I think the Browns go into that game looking at it as their Super Bowl . And honestly the Ravens lack of a legitimate passing game will bite them sooner or later. And you know damn well Baker Mayfield will want to beat the last qb taken in the first round. I feel good this happening!
"A man's got to know his limitations."
I don’t think they’ll get in. But if they can’t beat the Saints at home they also can’t win 4 playoff games.
If they’re a championship caliber team they win. If not, they don’t and what does it matter?
Either way I’m traveling all day. So I’ll be spared having to see it.

As far as 'confidence level', I am totally confident this team is good enough to be a playoff team this season. I think there are a lot of mediocre teams this year that we should be in ahead of. That said, you simply must win the games you're supposed to. These last 6 weeks have not been confidence building weeks. Those mediocre teams have tied or passed us up because we can't get out of our own way. I'm confident we have a playoff caliber team, just not a SB caliber team. So in the end I really don't care about the playoffs at this point.
My confidence level is what show(s) can I binge watch now?
