Steelers will make the playoffs!

Wow...I bleed black and gold, but there is no way that we make the playoffs.

This team is so destroyed and uncoached and weak its no longer anything but a joke.

We lost to the worst and 2nd worst teams in ihe NFL.

Our mistakes and penalties and injuries are not a sign of a playoff caliber team.

You sure about that?

That's a pretty bold statement against the team with the best record in the NFL and 2nd overall in scoring to Patriots.

We'll make it, but will we make a splash?

Schaub's doing fine, but he's no pro bowler and he has yet to play a playoff game. I'm guessing he doesn't get it done in the playoffs. They have a great running game. Let's see if he can carry the load when they run into a good run D, like us.

this.
We're not making it guys. Not this year. Get the "blinders" off.

Many aren't thinking clearly right now and seem to be in a state of delusion based on past years. The fact is - and i hate to admit this - is that the Ravens are a better team and a case could be made for the Bengals being a better team than ours. And thats just in our division.
We really need some new blood in here. It would have been nice to have Ben in today because thats probably the only way Plaxico was going to make an impact and i was looking forward to seeing that.

Couldn't have said it better myself....This team is NEVER gonna be fully healthy this year...The Big 3 (I'll call them we are waiting on), Ben, Troy and Antonio....Ben COULD be back soon, but he's ONE HIT away from being seriously hurt, and is being protected by an O-line this has HUGE injury problems themselves, so thats a patch-work O-line you're sending out to protect him....Troy, WHO THE HELL KNOWS, we don't even know if he'll be able to go full out for aother game this year even if or when he does come back...Antonio, high ankle sprains are a bitch, I had them, he'll come back, but will he be the "84" we are used to the rest of the year, odds are probably NOT...Unless FULLY HEALTHY (and IMO we won't be this year) teams like New England, Houston, and even Denver I believe now, will destroy us in the playoffs if we were able to make it somehow...It kills me to say that, it really does, but in my eyes thats just the reality of it this year.

We need to make some adjustments for the offseason though.

I approve of this post!

With the D playing well even without Troy, it really comes down to getting Ben and AB healthy. If that happens Steelers are a top 5-10 team and just need to peak in the playoffs. Lets face it though even with Haley here they are still a passing team if they want to go to playoffs. Ben, AB and Heath are the best players on O, can't rely on a non dominant RB or RB by committee to establish run consistently. Thats not to say abandon, but still not a run first team and wont be until they get a Ray Rice type of guy. I still think they make it with a wild card

love the guy, first time I saw him play the week before Steelers beat them he ran over the Giants. Then just handed the ball to ref. The guy is a beast.
