[Jpoore]

Okay last steelers post but they will not make the playoffs in 2016 that is my prediction is

Shouldn't this be in Smack? This guy seems obsessed with the Steelers. Wait, so am I.

I think they're a playoff bubble type team.

Depends on how Bell looks like after his second knee injury, and if he gets a third.

Hope the Bengals are the ones that burst that bubble as well.

Steelers are projected to make the playoffs every year. Rightfully so. Even with the injuries last year, they still made it.

While the Bengals are the team to beat in the AFCN, the Steelers will remain the favorite.

Bold prediction since most of the talking heads have them in the SB this year. But wait ............. since when does anyone listen or care about the heads???

How the HELL are the Steelers a bubble team? They beat the Bengals and had a chance against the Broncos in Denver without their best WR and best RB. I hate fans (Bengals or not) who just say BS because the other team is a rival. That's not trash talk. Tha'ts being a mouth breathing idiot. Saying the Steelers are a bubble playoff team is like you're waving a red flag above your head saying: "Hey, I'm a freaking moron without the ability to be objective."

The problem is Pitt is so inconsistent with their potential that they're never a safe bet, no matter how much you want them to be.

The Bengals are unsafe bets as well, but at least they're consistent with their blunders (primetime, postseason, Dolphins, Texans ETC.)

I agree. They are not a bubble team. The Steelers are a ***** made team.

Don't you mean when, not if? He's already been shown to not only be a whiner, but injury prone as well.

Because smack talk posts are always supposed to be objective?

Really ? I'm an idiot ?

So you think they're a surefire 14 - 2 AFC ruling type team ? OK

Just because they can beat us like a drum doesn't mean they are a playoff lock this season. They have to play 14 other games bub. I honestly feel they'll post a 9-7, 10-6 type season. They're thin on O behind the big 3 and their defense isn't all that. Do you watch football ?

So, when is a fan from the Steeler contingent going to weigh in?

As long as Ben stays healthy, they are a championship contender. Deangelo Williams had a hell of a year, and might have been the difference against DEN if he hadn't also been hurt. Did an excellent poor man's mary jane, I mean Le'Veon Bell.

I think Carolina used him wrong his entire career because he set career highest in catches, receiving yards and receiving first downs last year while spending most of the season as a back-up. 9 seasons and no one noticed he has good hands and can line up in the slot?
