    It's official, I have the blues

    It's that time of the season, when I feel like it is over for the Steelers and I have lost the urge to watch football until next year. But this time it came early.

    It feels almost like a playoff loss.

      Im just glad to see them playing good football again. Some of the games at the begining of the season were almost unwatchable. If we run the table we have a shot. Ill hang my hopes on that.

        I know what you mean. Dont feel like watching the Bungles today -- if we'd won, I would have.

        Still, Im hoping they win out and a miracle happens -- like the Crows dropping two and the Bungles dropping three.

          If we run the table, chances are pretty decent that we get in. The meaning in games have not gone away yet (one more loss will though).
          I wasn't hired for my disposition.

            I haven't given up hope yet. I think we're playing better than the start of the season with a long ways to go. There's still hope this team can improve from here and if they do could get better heading into the playoffs. It'll take a small miracle, but we've all seen in happen before.

              The improved play was, it seemed to me, based in no small part to an offensive line that was beginning to bounce back from the Pouncey injury and gel together as a unit. I fear that much of that progress will be lost and we'll be back to no running game to speak of and Ben running for his life.

                And the Bungles pretty much sewed up the divsion today. So much for that..

                  Even if we get in guys we know what's going to happen. We are banged up now much in the same way as we were two years ago when we went to Denver and got "Tebowed".

                  A healthy Steelers team with even average offensive line play...and we can play with any one on any given day. Not going to happen as it stands now though.

                    Cheer up. I know we have had a rough season and some recent injuries are unsettling but if we can find a way to keep playing decent, we have a chance... With Miami beating the Jets, and both Tennessee and San Diego loosing, that puts us in control to jump Miami in the standings next week... If we can beat Miami next week, that Puts us at 6-7... Tennessee plays the broncos in Denver so that is almost a guaranteed loss for them putting them at 5-8... Cinci plays the colts at home, if indy can win that drops cinci to 8-6(keeping the division within reach still..) The biggest game though, other than our own, is the Vikings playing Baltimore in Baltimore... Boy would it be nice if the Vikings could do us a solid and beat the Ravens like they did the Bears today.... All in all, WE MUST WIN.... everything else is just hopes...

                      I completely agree! Our standard is the Super Bowl. Even with a completely healthy squad I don't think we had what it takes to win at a championship level this year. When you compare the 2013 Steelers with the more complete teams (especially those on the NFC side) we are at least one level below. Now that our team is significantly banged up we would just be cannon fodder if we did manage to squeak into the playoffs. Even Timmy Tebow could beat us. Sometimes you have to admit it's not going to be a Super Bowl year.

                        I don't see it as a SB year but I aslo didn't see us still in the hunt for a playoff spot.

                        Until its over.. we have a shot. I damn sure wouldn't want to play these Steelers in the playoffs. Its 0-0 once you get in the dance and anything can happen.

                        Not sure why some feel the need to remind fans this team isnt one of our best.... I think that is obvious.

                        A few more weeks and we will see... then you guys can get down to the ggod stuff. Draft talk..lol.
