no point in giving this its own thread since it goes hand in hand with this thread ( just the opposite side of it )
2) The Steelers are cooked
Fried. Finished. Donezo. See ya next year. The truth hurts -- even if it was completely predictable in the first place. I always thought this would be Mike Tomlin's first losing season in Pittsburgh. Told you back in May that Cincinnati would be superior -- and hey, the Bengals just completed the season sweep with a 41-10 throttling on Sunday. Now winless in their last three outings, the Steelers sit at 5-5-1. But look at their remaining schedule:
- Week 13: vs. Ravens
- Week 14: at Vikings (Thursday)
- Week 15: vs. Titans
- Week 16: at Chiefs
- Week 17: vs. Browns (Monday)
- Week 18: at Ravens
How many wins do you see there? More than one? I just cannot imagine this group going on a run down the stretch. Ben Roethlisberger is washed. The offensive line is poor. The offensive play-calling is offensive. The defense has underachieved. And on top of it all, T.J. Watt just hit the reserve/COVID-19 list. Pack it in, Pittsburgh.
