The Jets certainly aren't an elite team but they are tougher then what they showed last week against the Ratbirds imo. We can Run better then them and we can play Defense better then them. Doing those 2 things better then the Jets should lead to victory. I thought the Jets had a top tier run defence . This could be another low scoring game and if the OL can't block again , expect a close game. THIS is the game to pass with, not last week vs possibly the best pass defence in the league. They got the gamelans backwards somehow if they keep trying to run this week as opposed to last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rivers Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Here is the lates on the injury front. This team should defeat the jests without JJSS, I would rest him another week, why risk? Whats going on with Haden though? Did something happen after /during Wednesdays practice?

His blocking has been terrible though, that's the real issue I have with him other than his cap/performance value. Tomlin needs to get pouncey playing decent again or the playoffs will be an early exit without a legit rushing attack. Now, if Haden is out, does that mean burns will be playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43M Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I think we win vs the Jets, but I dont care either way. We already exceeded expectations. We have no chance of going anywhere in the playoffs. Might be able to win 1, if we are lucky. We arent going to Arrowhead, Foxborough or Baltimore and winning, though. Zero chance. Only reason I remotely care is that, if we make it, Dolphins dont get anything higher than our 21st pick....which is a huge steal for Minkah. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 hate how fast NFL season can go..won't see another steelers game at Heinz for months now overall its been a fun season when the offense is not on the field.. now just need NE to lose in the playoffs so I can enjoy the SB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could steal one in Baltimore, only because it's hard to play a team 3 times. Zero chance we could even keep it within 2 scores at Arrowhead. The Pats aren't looking hot, but they'd probably still smash us in Foxborough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I think JuJu needs to have two big games in the last couple. He needs to build his confidence back up a bit. I'm sure it's cratered this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Part of me really wants the Browns to win this weekend so that we have to play a full Ravens squad in week 17. Ultimately, I am very happy with this season as is. While I would still prefer to make playoffs, I think the most satisfying way to end this season would be to beat Lamar (which we should have done before) to secure our place in the tournament. Making the playoffs is pretty awesome with this team. Beating the MVP with Duck Hodges while everyone is on the Ravens wagon? Yup, that would be far more satisfying. But looking at potential match-ups in the playoff machine: - Don't be a Bills fan this week. As much as I dont want New England to win games anymore, I do not want them to be the three seed. Do. Not. Root. For. The. Bills. - If Houston and the Chiefs both win out, the fighting Andy Reid's get the 3 seed. I would much prefer Houston - Stop the run, Stop the Nuke, win the game against a sloppy defense. We need Houston to win out, and the Chiefs to drop 1 game -- Bears or Chargers, take your pick for rooting pleasure. @Houston, @Baltimore, @Buffalo, @Miami Hard Rock Stadium.....

If we had Ben, Id be more excited about the postseason than I have in a decade. We dont have the offense to win. We wouldnt even need a great offense....but we have a historically bad one. Baltimore would pound us. Week 17 we will likely play their backups. Even if our defense could slow Lamar down, it wouldnt be enough to keep up with them.

We almost beat them earlier in the year. Granted that was at home, but we also started Rudolph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) with Ben this team can win the AFC. I doubt we get minka tho Miami would of wanted someone else 1st round pick. I just hope ben comes back healthy, because 2020 can be the yr. I kinda think NE will finally fall off next yr(go from SB caliber to a "aight" team that wins 8-10 games), so they will be out of the way for once. Ravens will the team to beat but we'll be familiar with that offense. Edited December 20, 2019 by August4th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
