    can we really make the play offs?

    how many think we can actually turn the corner, and win our division?

    Cleveland is Cleveland....

    Cincy good but really?... they keep catching breaks, like that fumble vs green bay, their luck has to run out.

    baltimore... they win but nothing really special... they lost to buffalo

    we beat the jets

    clev loses to detroit

    baltimore loses to GB

    ciny gets upset by buffalo

    we are 3 games out and play cleveland and play baltimore 2x.

        During the bye week, I kept saying "well, at least we can't lose this week!"

        Well, guess what...with Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Cleveland all winning...we still lost last week.

        Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

        Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

        We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

        We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

            It's about momentum.

            If the Steelers can string a couple of wins together, particularly against division opponants, who knows?

            The Steelers are not a 0-4 team, talent-wise, and a few breaks their way, a couple of big plays, a bit of momentum...can turn things around.

            Will it happen? Maybe not enough to get to the playoffs. But Chadman still expects at least 7 wins.
            The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?

            Light up the darkness.

              Umm.. up until the last week or so ago I would have said hell no. I've been very disappointed with the FO on the off season/early season personnel moves. In the last week or so, I can actually say I've been somewhat pleased with their recent signings. So far, Velasco has been solid. At least they have made an attempt to address the LT concerns with bringing in Levi Brown. I saw on another thread where they are also looking at bringing back will allen.

              I think the cards are stacked against them but it looks like they are taking steps in the right direction..which is a first in my opinion for quite a few months.

                NO ONE is saying we are in the playoff hunt! But it IS nice, that (despite a putrid start to the season) that we still are in yelling distance of the leaders. It makes watching the games that much more worthwhile.

                  The chances of the Steelers making the playoffs is the same as Mr. Blutarsky's grade point average - 0.0

                    The chances of the Steelers making the playoffs are about the same odds that Mr. Blutarsky had of becoming a US Senator...

                      I'll take that bet. The Steelers are not making the playoffs. It's delusional to think otherwise.

                          How about winning a game first?

                            In 2004, it was delusional to think that the Steelers would be 15-1 after a 6-10 season and starting a rookie QB...

                            In 2005, it was delusional to think that the Steelers would win their last four games, three road playoff games and then the SB...

                            The 1992 Chargers went 0-4 and still made the playoffs...and they were outscored 95-29 in those losses...

                            Unlikely? Hell yes...but, stranger things have happened...
