We are only 1/2 game ahead

[Whacked]

….of the FLIPPNG STOOLERS!

They are horrible this year.

Yet ……..only a 1/2 game behind us.

HOW.

Is it just me or is that a total WTH !

[*Awful Llama*]

Yeah, that's the downside of having them 'help' us out last night. Just try to concentrate on the one game separating us from the Ratbirds, much more positive.

[fredtoast]

The Steelers are not "horrible". They have a winning record and have beaten the Ravens and Bills.

And we are AHEAD of them.

[BigPapaKain]

We root for a team that was supposed to be last in the division, if not the conference.

Sit back and enjoy the ride.

And we are only a game behind the Ravens, who we hold a tie breaker on. We were supposed to be a 6 win team at best, and we are in December, very much in position to win the division and make the playoffs. We are 3-1 in the division, and 5-3 in the AFC. If the Bills lose they are 5-5 and we should slide ahead of them in the wildcard. Again, we weren’t supposed to be here. We have made a lot of mistake and had some bad games yet are in this position. That’s a good thing.

in what world are the 6-5-1 steelers an awful team? Because the bengals swept them?

jeez, that's nice

It's weird so many people who "fear the Raven" this year.

I'm a Lamar Jackson supporter but despise the Ravens and I think the Bengals will catch them.

Yet the ones who hate Lamar and say he sucks are so scared they pull for the steelers.

The Ravens are not playing that well and if the Bengals can take care of business they will catch them with a tiebreaker in place.

Because the Ravens will not run this rack. In fact only see them getting two more wins unless they catch a gear again and start putting up more points.

at Cleveland
Green Bay
at Cincinatti
Rams
steelers

They've only scored 61 points in their last 4 games for a 15 point a game average. Have not scored over 20 points in any of these games. Plus their defense is not playing as well as earlier in the year.

Would rather just worry about the Ravens than all 3 AFCN teams which are now all in the hunt.

Just me though.

Just saw two people rocking Bengals gear in an NFL Shop commercial, which never happens. We're definitely moving up in the world.

OP:

When you wanna be mad about something, but run out of things.

Yeah they’re 6-3-1 when they aren’t playing us. Poor bastards are stuck in the same division as Joe Burrow and steeler killer Zac Taylor.

To the OP's defense there was a lot of Steelers are done, Mike Tomlin sucks comments around here just a couple weeks ago. Finishing better than the Bengals isn't out of the question. Making the playoffs I still think are unlikely given their schedule. But looks like from these posts, Steelers are back to being well respected. That wasn't the case a couple weeks ago if we are being honest.

Anyone who saw the Steelers/Ravens game knows that the Steelers are far from being really good.  That was a shit-show by both teams.

Bad Steelers team beat a bad Ravens team. Both teams are trash.

The entire division is below average. The Ravens lucked into a ton of wins this year. They should have lost to Detroit.

This is not true at all

NFCW is the only division with a better win/loss record than the AFCN.

That is even more impressive when you realize our intra-conference games were with the AFCW which is the third best division in the league.

I don't need wins and losses to tell me who's a good team. The Ravens are playing well below their record. The Steelers aren't good. Cleveland is as mediocre as they come. 

The Bengals are the best team in the division and even they have their flaws.

This isn’t the CFP. Wins and losses are the ONLY thing that matters in terms of getting to the playoffs, Whether you think they are good or not.
