Real possibility so wanted to ask.
For a lot of the National Media I'm sure it would

No, my opinion is the rats are going to win the division and make the post season.
I’m sooooo hoping they do. A playoff appearance is all the Dunce cares bout.Steelafan77 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 27, 2025 3:27 pmNo, my opinion is the rats are going to win the division and make the post season.
Just making the dance allows him (and the media) to gaslight us into thinking a bounce here and a bounce there.
We know the truth though.
This team cannot front run. The moment the Rays fell to 1-5 and the talking heads announced us division champs at 4-1 I knew we were in deep shit.
Does any other coach or defense believe their own faux hype more than our Pittsburgh Steelers???
Jibba Jabber’s offense hasn’t scored more than 7 1st quarter points in 84 consecutive games. An NFL record by far. A historic amount of “easin in”. We are lucky to have him.
It’s a shame too because Rogers has been slinging it for us.
Man still has one hell of an arm.

No.

Good question. The slogan would change to “Never had a losing season when he didn’t make the playoffs.”

I wouldn't be surprised if the Ravens end the regular season with 10 wins. The hard part of their schedule is just ending- the Steeler's is just getting started.Steelafan77 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 27, 2025 3:27 pmNo, my opinion is the rats are going to win the division and make the post season.

Exactly. I believe North division will be represented by one team.W&M_Steeler wrote: ↑Mon Oct 27, 2025 7:04 pmI wouldn't be surprised if the Ravens end the regular season with 10 wins.

I'll go further: If you win the division at 8-8-1 and lose the first playoff game, it's not NHALS.rooneytunes wrote: ↑Mon Oct 27, 2025 3:12 pmReal possibility so wanted to ask.

Not a chance if that would happen that the national media Tomlin fluffers would agree with you.
Rich Eisen and his ilk would immediately declare NHALS continues with your scenario.
A stake must be driven into NHALS once and for all. Wins for the Steelers must be <= 7
Mike Tomlin and NHALS - The embodiment of the soft bigotry of lowered expectations.
Much as I hate NHALS, I would give a golf clap for 7-7-3
