Also if the Chiefs are doubling Chase literally every play there just HAS to be something you can do to punish that. Like Zac cant be the only coach who can’t scheme up his best WR catches.

How? Pittsburgh is going to win both games. I don't see any path for us, I think it's joever. The bigger problem is Burrow can't win with this defense. Tee will be gone by the time the defense is fixed. Burrow will be 30+ next time we see him in the playoffs, youngish still for a QB...but not expected.

So Pitt has to lose a game or we are out?

People seem to gloss right over that. We lacked the star power to offense had, but the unit brought those wins home. Yet, in 2023-2024, it is that coach who is on the hot seat, while the other side gets a pass because of playoff wins of the past two years.

It's the NFL, even against backups no win is guaranteed

Just not our year this year. Definite changes are needed on defense obviously, but I certainly didn’t think we’d have a shot at the playoffs when Burrow went down. They’ve surprised me since then.

It gets way too complicated.
Steelers had to lose one game, we had to win both, and we needed Colts to beat Texans next week.
Steelers aren't losing to a benched Ravens team, they just beat Seattle basically. It may be a moot point since we're about to lose.

Chase was open. Need a stop here after KC gets their guaranteed big play and try to take a few shots deep to Tee or Chase

I hate that play, regardless of the player, yet the Bengals do it often with no success. A kneel down is better than a Bengals toss play.

Just a reminder it has been 25 minutes and counting since the Bengals lasted scored any points.
This isn't a Browning thing. Zac's offense just goes silent for 30+ minute stretches at a time quite regularly.
