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.

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.

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.

Exactly. I believe North division will be represented by one team.

I'll go further: If you win the division at 8-8-1 and lose the first playoff game, it's not NHALS.

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

Much as I hate NHALS, I would give a golf clap for 7-7-3
