When is the last time they won six in a row?

They would have to sweep the Ravens as well on their way there.

There’s a 90% chance they don’t win out.

This could be the reverse of 2018 where they started 7-2-1 and finished 9-7-1 the ravens have blown multiple 4th QT leads and they have not beaten us since 2019.
I fully expect them to lose at Bmore and finish 9-8
 
AB melting down again. Sad to see.

Jiggy always said a major breakdown was coming for him. Too many hits to the head. Extreme toll the sport can take on a player.

There are still plenty of alarming things about this team you are ignoring.

A pathetic Colts O pissed all over Tomlin’s D in the second half…

The O hasn’t put together a full game as of yet and Canada is still calling shitty games.

KP is getting better, buts he’s still a rookie and going to make a costly mistake or two down the stretch (which I’m sure you and others will freak about).

There aren’t any legit signs this team is about to run the table.

Holy Moly. You're giving us a 10% chance to win out?

I think it's closer to 1%. There's no way we beat the Ravens twice and I'd bet money one of ATL or CAR beats us. Then there's the Raiders who have our number, especially when they're a bad team.

I expect us to win 2 more games.

We’re due for a Tomlin special, really. Atlanta isn’t good. It’s about time a Tomlin team makes a bad team look like a contender

14 points in a half is pissing all over a defense well then we must have been good on offense all season
Canada finally got KP to keep it more and read the DE he is gaining confidence and calling his own plays and audibles for a while.

brian f was gonna hire canada until he was fired discrimination lawsuit paid to tank games, bad ownership didn't want Matt Canada. mcvay loves rpos matt canada taught him everything, saw them at a buffalo wild wings in tallahassee, matt was mocking up plays with straws and salt shakers. flaming hot wings with some bbq maybe garlic parm. matt cassell kyle shanny javon hargreave matt canada has real credibility in the game.

My thought is a Tomlin special is when the Steelers are a contender and they play down to the competition and lose.

I don’t see this team as a contender.

We had cowher special before but your right it’s when your the favorite and you lose. We aren’t going to favorites and many games

70 yards in half one vs 220 in the second half is getting pissed on.

The only reason Tomlin didn’t have to stand at the podium and explain why his D melted down agt one of the worst Os in the league, is because Saturday had no clue you could use timeouts.

Going fwd Tomlin won’t be coaching agt high school level coaches and an ultra green playcaller with three games of experience.

I didn’t know time outs gave you extra downs? I didn’t know that Ryan couldn’t call a time out


So going against Smith in Atlanta or McDaniels are great coaches. We saw the colts beat vegas

Timeouts help you to not rush and call a better play. Saturday even admitted that the next day after he had time to realize his folly.

It’s not rocket surgery.

You make me laugh dude.

First Kenny needs to play, then he’s a bust, now he’s gonna go 5-1 down the stretch and oh ya, he’ll overcome Tomlin doing Tomlin things and Canada doing Canada things.

Ok.

Kenny was on non factor against the colts. They literally can have a guy who just doesn’t turn it over and run it play defense.
It was 3-3 after Ryan run with 30 seconds left even if he calls a time out they still have to get a 1st down and another 27 yards with 1 time out.

Kenny is #8, the guy who drove them down the field for the winning TD after Tomlin’s D shit the bed - again.

Should probably learn guy’s numbers before commenting.

He’s also a rookie. And no, this team isn’t good enough to just run and play D and go 5-1.

Fantasy level shit.

There was also a shade under a minute left and Saturday let the clock run and eventually rushed a play call and lost the game.

There is a reason every sports show around the country had entire segments around Saturday’s comical clock management.

Kenny finished with 50 yards passing in the 2nd half he didn’t do anything to win the game he just did not lose the game.
When Ryan ran for 14 yards and was tackled setting up 3rd down he could have called a time out with 50 seconds left then they tried to run it and Highsmith made a play setting up 4th down. Even if they got the 1st down with 1 time out left doesn’t guarantee they score.

Ya he didn’t do anything except convert two huge third downs on the winning drive, call the play for the TD and throw a dart for the 2 point conversion.

Once again, there is a reason there were dozens of segments on sports shows around the country Monday morning shaking their heads at Saturday’s clock management at the end.

So let’s wrap this up here…

A QB who lead the winning TD drive wasn’t a factor in winning the Colts game and the Steelers can totally rely on their defense and run game to win games… despite having the 30th ranked pass D.

Oh and they can totally go 5-1 leaning on that stout 30th ranked pass D.

Makes sense.

Kind of wild that KP is 22 completions and 31 pass attempts from breaking Roth’s rookie franchise record.

Roth set the record in 13 games.

KP may break the record today in only 8 games.

Shows how much more KP is being forced to air it out.

I fully expect the Steelers to win today.

Tomlin is the king of winning meaningless games against teams no one gives a damn about when the season is already over and the Steelers would be better off losing.

It is not even as if it were against the Ravens which would feel good to win.

No doubt at all that the Steelers win this one. It has a Tomlin special written all over it.

Steelers are 14-2-1 agt the Falcons, so odds are overwhelming in favor of them winning, much like they were agt the Colts.
