No, they won't. They have a good O-line and coaching but that's about it. Good coaching defensively can easily beat them, but I'm not confident Denver will do so.

I don't even blame Fitz. TnT was money against Cincy and Fitz ****ed one play up. **** happens.
I'm happy with our season overall. I thought even if healthy we would struggle to make the playoffs, with the schedule we got. Missing so many key players and making it to the divisional round is a good result. And we got a playoff win. Shore up the defense in the upcoming draft a little bit more and we should be a great team next year again. Getting back the best RB, WR and C in the league should help, too.

I wish they had the best RB and C in the league

I saw this as a 10-11 win team when healthy entering the year, which put me on the more optimistic side here. Throw in all the injuries along the way and I'm fairly happy with the results this time around. The defense showed marked improvements, the offensive depth got a chance to shine before being stretched a little too thin, the offensive line (largely) held up despite 2 massive injuries, we found our kicker of the future. All in all this was a productive season...which is a nice change after a lot of tire spinning.

Steelers should have won this, bad turnovers. Now hopefully Brady sends Manning straith to retirement!

Still seems weird for someone from Montreal to root for a Boston team. Hell, I'm starting to hate everything San Francisco and I've only been in LA for 3 years.
Granted if we left off every city that a Pittsburgh team has a rivalry with that'd basically just leave LA and, like, the Orlando Magic.

Yeah I really like our front seven, especially if Dupree makes the progress I think he will. Heyward-Tuitt is already as goog as it gets, imo. Shazier needs to stay healthy. And I would like an impact making safety. I think our defense could look pretty good next year.
And Coates looks like another good WR pick. Was disappointed they didn't trust him more this game.
I'm way more optimistic for next season than this. Gotta beat the Ravens though

Sports will break your heart.
IIRC, there are a lot of Red Sox fans in Montreal, and Quebec in general.

Weird, always figured Eastern Canada would be more like the northern part of Maine when it comes to viewing Boston sports (as the Antichrist).
I didn't see them winning 10 games this year. The D definitely overachieved, in spite of stubbornly sticking with the worst CB (or second worst if you say Browner is the worst) for most of the year. O-line was awesome, given the losses of Pouncey and Beachum. Unfortunately, drafting in the mid-20's, we probably won't get a stud CB (just missed out on Peters this year, who was really good), so I'm not sure how much the D's most glaring weakness will be fixed next year.
Today's game was winnable. The fumble and special teams gaffes in the first game were killers, Denver's top-rated D played really well, and their offense didn't turn the ball over. Play calling was pretty conservative, but we were taking what Denver was giving. Not going for the field goal was stupid, even without the benefit of hindsight.
I give Denver a good shot to win next week, cause their D will keep them in the game. I don't hate the Pats as much as most others here (I was actually glad to see them beat the Seahawks last year, as they were getting really annoying), and frankly, I don't care who wins at this point.

Bad way to finish the playoffs on. On their way to sealing the deal....opsy, fumble.
Manning is some kind of suck, yet they move on. The guy can't throw worth a damn and the Steelers found a way to not be able to tackle to complete the unraveling.
One of the worst timed turnovers for the Steelers.

Plenty of Red Sox in Montreal once the Expos left. Once Pedro made his way to Boston, so did pretty much all Expos fans.
I really miss my Expos

Come on, there is 1 SB Champ. Steelers had a good run here, beat those tugs in Cincy and put in a hell of a fight in Denver. Plenty of fans of teams that are drafting high would have switched places with the Steelers

Saying we should have tanked is embarrassing. We not only made the playoffs, but we even won a game. We were probably a Round 1 injury away from the AFC championship. Going into week 17, we were good enough to beat anybody in the league on any given night.
