We are going to kick the Steelers A**es when we play them

[Skooby]

The Steelers have a .400 SOS, the lowest in the entire NFL. They haven't played that many good teams like the Bills (.515) which is the highest amongst the top currently ranked 6 playoff teams in the AFC / Top 7 of the NFC. The Steelers could easily lose in round 2 & if the Bills grab the #3 seed, that gives us a chance to grab another home game before facing the Chiefs. You heard it here firsts, Bills are being tested week in and out with successful teams, the Steelers are going to get smacked by us.

P.S. We are the only 4-0 team in our division & likely to go 6-0. We will win any 3-way tie-breakers, sans Pittsburgh who might go 6-0 as well. Miami's 2 division losses should kill their chances & they still play us at home, they have no clear starting QB as well.

Rams win raised our SOS to .520, but according to trolls we don’t beat winning teams.

I actually have a good feeling about playing Pittsburg but I’m just hoping the team is taking it one game at a time.

[streetkings01]

I’m hoping we go into Pittsburgh with a 9-3 record and they’re still undefeated. Giving them they’re first loss would instantly erase the Titans and Cardinals game and boost this team into the Super Bowl contender category even though I don’t Pitt is some juggernaut. I think Pitt is a good team with a weak schedule.

I fixed it for you. First round playoff loss is the ceiling. And we aren't beating the Steelers.

do you think any of the teams we beat will make it past 1st rd? Rams? Raiders?

Raiders, no. Rams? Hard to say because they could finish anywhere from a bye to the last seed. Seahawks? Same as the Rams.

You're dreaming, Skoob.

If we're healthy, we can beat anyone

Except the Titans, Chiefs, Steelers and Ravens. And that's just the AFC.

I felt good about the game until this thread. Thanks Skooby.

We already played the steelers and ravens? You have data on who played ? What was the score?

[ParanoidAndroid]

Jinx. We have beaten 4 playoff contending teams and lost to three. That's good, but not good enough. The idea that an undefeated team with a ridiculous point differential is vulnerable because they have a slightly easier schedule is kind of silly. They have wins vs. the Titans, Ravens, and blew out the 7-3 Browns.

[notacon]

There is ZERO doubt that the Bills have the ability to beat the Steelers.

I suspect that they will.

Steelers have had the EASIST schedule of all wining teams. They are a good team for sure, but their 10-0 record is a mirage of luck and pasty opponents.

Last three wins were against Dallas, Cinci and Jax....who have a TOTAL of SIX wins.

They are going to have their hands full on Thursday night....and if the Ravens don't beat them, Buffalo will probably give them their first loss.

[Skooby]

You're dreaming, Skoob.

Am I ?? Take the Jets out of the equation for our 2 games with them & refigure the SOV / SOS, it’ll be like ~.655 or so. That’s like all 7 win teams we played or every division leader / playoff team & we are still 7-3. I know we aren’t blowing everyone out but just to be clear, playoff caliber matchups are usually close games. We’re battle tested & a low % Hail Mary from 8-2 even with this hard schedule. Typically we’d fold like a cheap sheet, but not this year. Steelers have played an average of ~4 win teams, they still should of lost 2-3 times too. I’m not looking ahead, I’m looking around. We don’t play anyone in the post-season we don’t know until the Super Bowl, so we will know their game plan against us. Advantage Buffalo.

Would 5-2 be better cuz that Cards game......

Having the team healthy is pure luck. This is what I’ve been trying to say about last year. We got lucky with the schedule and we got lucky with injuries.

And no, we haven’t played the Steelers or Ravens. But the Steelers are an experienced team that is currently undefeated. The Ravens’ strength is running the ball and our weakness is defending the run. If the Chiefs can run for 245 against us, I don’t even want to know what the Ravens can do.

[ParanoidAndroid]

This team has a chance against anybody in the league, but to say we are definitely better than the Steelers is nonsense. I hope we beat them but no way is it a sure thing; not by a long shot.

Lets not pretend that the Chiefs ability to run doesn't have anything to do with playing coverage against Mahomes. We are weak against the run but the established game plan by other teams against Mahomes and had some success was to play deep coverage and make them drive. They switched up and ran a lot but if we jam 8 in the box and leave 1 on 1 with Tyreek Hill and Kelce it is worse. They ran all over the Bills yet they were within a score late. If he is throwing 50 yard bombs, it is not close late. So without the same level of throwing threat, the results wouldn't just be equal or worse.
