Agreed. If they lose to the worst team in the league, the only coach on the staff who should be retained is Munchak.

New England must be terribly coached.

Ravens had their chance when they were up by a TD and didn't stay aggressive. That's the way it goes.
Big hold on the Ravens and a big sack by Houston and it’s third and long for the Ravens. Jackson not getting up...
Bout time New England experienced some bad luck, LOLOL. Still get a 12-4 regular season
CHIEFS WIN!!!!!
Now we need a Steelers win to make the AFC day perfect!

The whole AFC (minus KC) just took a step back towards the Steelers. Better take advantage of it.
Glad the rats lost
I’m dejected, but Ravens played a better game than most gave them credit for.

I feel for you Crow. You guys had a good game plan. That 4th down play wouldn't driven me nuts too.
No I don't think so. Occasionally a good team drops a divisional game . More often bad coached teams lose to every loser that comes along

Putting Gronk out there at safety? Yeah...terrible coaching decision...the guy can barely move laterally...let alone try to tackle someone...lol.
Ravens are the best team in the AFC North.
Its funny, I actually hate them a little less with Lamar Jackson. I watched that whole game and their D is night and day better than ours, I could see them beating Pats or Chiefs but only if they don't fall behind. Running game is so solid but when teams know Lamar throwing they have slim and none chance. I see them losing the Chargers so basically Steelers need one upset out of Pats and Saints to win division. I would put my money on Ravens to win division at this point, but will be pleasantly surprised with Steelers win. Problem is I don't see any possibility this secondary could get to SB against Brady, Rivers or Mahomes.
Steelers won’t beat the Bengals at this point. Bengals have nothing to lose and the Steelers will be fighting to make the playoffs...lol. It’s a recipe for another disaster...I’d be willing to bet that JuJu or AB come out of that game with and ACL injury as well.
I love watching some good defense. Rams bears Ravens best three in the league. Been ten years since Steelers fielded a defense

Actual tackling, by like the first defender. Amazing

Rams held to 6 points against the Bears. An actual defense with real defensive coaches. Not to mention actual running on offense (as opposed to completely abandoning it at the first sign of trouble)
Rams are not even close to being a top defense in the league. Cowboys are a top defense, Titans are really good defensively too. Rams D is Aaron Donald making plays but the D surrendering a ton of points as well

Seems like that long ago but the collapse began in 2012 when the Steelers missed the playoffs and Troy’s decline accelerated. First in points/second in yards allowed in 2010 & first in points and yards allowed in 2011

But I digress - agree with you that after watching the Ravens and Bears go after 2 of the best offenses in the league yesterday it is enjoyable to see defense can still be played at a high level under the current rules
Since 2008 (2008 steelers), the 2011 steelers actually have the lowest scoring defense in that frame. And since 2002 (2002 Bucs), they have the 2nd lowest scoring defense of that time frame. Also that 2011 team carried the steelers bottom half scoring offense to numerous low scoring wins. (of course people think that D was bad for some reason based of the wildcard game that year)Seems like that long ago but the collapse began in 2012 when the Steelers missed the playoffs and Troy’s decline accelerated. First in points/second in yards allowed in 2010 & first in points and yards allowed in 2011

IMO, 2010 and '11 were a mirage. The only reason the Packers didn't drop 50+ points on them in SB XLV was because of several fortunate drops (for the Steelers) by wide open receivers. And then there was the Tebow wildcard game...Seems like that long ago but the collapse began in 2012 when the Steelers missed the playoffs and Troy’s decline accelerated.

I have to agree with NC here - 2008 was the last year the Steelers fielded anything close to a dominant defense and even they got exposed in the 4th quarter of SB XLIII.

I guess we're all at the point where we need to begin picking our adopted teams for the playoffs...........
yep, I was just thinking while eating breakfast I'll be rooting for Chiefs, Texans or Rams , Bears.But with a couple of wins by Steelers I may become optimistic again. Right now I've conceded to myself Ravens probably win division.
I have three
1. The Pats opponents
2. The Ravens opponents
3. Meteor if the Pats and Ravens play
Array title="AtlantaDan has a reputation beyond repute">
Chargers (I have a preseason wager on them) and Chiefs + anyone playing Pats or Ravens in AFC. If nothing else please spare me a Pats-Ravens AFC championship game.
Bears in NFC
Pretty much this.
Vikings coaching is terrible. If they take the easy three instead of going on forth then they are in position to tie. Wasted effort
