It's realistic to think that the steelers could be 10-0 before the next game against the Ravens...But in the next 3 games, which game are the steelers more likely to lose?
week 9:Cowboys(2-6)
week 10:Bengals: (2-5-1)
week 11:Jaguars(1-6)

I’d say the Dallas game and Cinncinati games they could lose. I would not be surprised if they lost 2/3 of these games. That’s the kind of thing this team does to drive you crazy...lol.
If I had to pick just one...it would be the Dallas game. It’s got that classic let down/trap situation...came off of two huge wins, looking forward to the Bengals, traveling west, facing a second or third string QB on an injury riddled team with two good WRs and a good RB...that has loss written all over it...
Dallas and Jacksonville seem hellbent on getting as close to the #1 overall pick as they can. I don’t see them “trying” all too hard (especially if they get down early).
The Bengals have their franchise QB, they hate us, and they’re better than their record indicates (they’ve had a few last-second / last-play losses). That said, the Steelers never overlook the Bengals (thanks to Burfict).
SUMMATION:
The Cincy game should be the toughest game, but again, the Steelers enjoy laying the wood to them (so, there won’t be any letdown).
I'd say Dallas. Steelers own the Bengals and yes Joe Burrow has been legit thus far but the rest of the team is trash and it's at home. The Steelers also always manage to beat the Jags when the Jags are doing terrible (even if it's always close)
The Jaguars could be a mental challenge for the Steelers, since the Steelers don't have a good history against the Jaguars and they will play against the Ravens 4 days later.
Jaguars, for some reason we NEVER play well down there. Matter of fact I think I can count on one hand how many times we've actually beat them in Jacksonville, no matter how terrible they were.
Aside from this Sunday, Jacksonville.
Their team sucks, but they make it some badge of honor to beat the Steelers. Ben has historically had awful games against them. Hell, that poverty franchise really has nothing else to show for, so beating Pittsburgh matters a lot to them. Plus Baltimore is on deck. The Steelers will overlook Jacksonville and flub.
I'd go Jacksonville if I had to pick. It's on the road and as others have said we never play well there. But historically Ben has always stunk in Baltimore and he just played great there.
I say, F this thread they go 3-0!
None, looking atthe rest of the schedule 16- 0 looks possible. Probably won't happen but it looks possible.

The steelers are going to need a lot of turnovers in offense and some blown coverage in defense at least 1-2 time for a TD to lose against Dallas...Biggest challenge for this game will be the focus....
We're not losing to the JV Cowboys team with their backups in, I saw DiNucci play against the Eagles and he doesn't have a chance. We own the Bungles, we swept them last year even with Ben out. We're not losing to them at home. Jaguars have been krpytonite in recent years to us so I wouldn't be surprised if we lay an egg in that game, we're due one of those head scratcher games.
I would say Cinci. They have a lot of talent and the best QB of all those 3 teams.
Still, Steeler fans be thinking like Jon Gruden is in this video...
