We drafted 2 young STUDS as offensive lineman in the first 2 rounds. Our WR core is phenomenal. Our defense is SHOWING we can handle without Troy. Will Allen is a big hitter.

Draft a safety, a few backers for depth purpose’s and we’ll never go away. With Ben in his prime years, I see him getting to atleast 2 more Super Bowls.

I sure wouldn’t trade you franchise histories… nor would I trade you franchise futures.
Granted, this hasn’t been a good season for the Steelers. They’re 6-4 against the weakest schedule in franchise history, and they may not win in Cleveland or in Baltimore in the coming weeks.
They also might not win another Super Bowl in my lifetime. But I’m good with all that. The Steelers, going back to the 1970s, have given me more thrills, more enjoyment, more success than any fan has a right to experience.
I can guarantee that if you Ravens fans all live to be 100, you’ll never experience that excitement that I have in half that time.

Haley’s offense doesn’t fit his style, besides that it, it gets quarterbacks killed.

If Joe Haden can’t go there is no way they win the game. I can’t remember the last time the Browns won a divisional game that wasn’t vs the Bengals.

Lucky for the stoolers that the Chiefs don’t have a quarterback otherwise the Chiefs would have won 35 to 6.

The Browns should win this one Sunday EASILY.

_________________

Hah. You DO realize that your Ravens only beat the Chiefs, 9-6, right? Flacco had a PUTRID .3/100 QB rating!

Browns should win easily? Just like they should have against Baltimore if they line up correctly. You’re delusional! Baltimore is no better than us! I don’t care what the records say, it’ll show in January!

Pitiful defense. If Mike Wallace gets his feet in bounds, you lose to one of the most beat-up teams in the league!

Chargers 31, Ravens 14.

Steelers set to lose the AFCN and miss the playoffs entirely. Nice season Pittsburgh.

——————————————

The Steelers are one of only six teams in the AFC that are above .500, but yeah, their going to miss the playoffs?

Deep down, you know that if Ben was playing you would have lost by double digits.

Regardless of whether the Steelers make the playoffs, you guys better be worried.. Steelers gashed your defense and Leftwich outpassed your boy Flacco.

Sure, that’s because the Steeler defense wouldn’t let them do anything else, no matter what they tried. Oh, and the Ravens had their so-called stars playing on offense. Yep, Flacco, Rice and Smith had gangbuster performances against the old and slow Steeler defense!

The Ravens are pretty good winning games before they really count, like in the playoffs and Super Bowl. Congrats. When the Steelers have Ben, AB and Troy back in the playoffs, the Steelers beat the Ravens by 2-3 touchdowns easy. Ravens might not even score a point if the Steelers special teams play well.

Geez, I guess the Steelers are the only team in NFL history to sign players when they had mid-season injuries. What are some people’s brains at, do they sit on them?

Enjoy your hater comments now. It’s all good. You all know the Steelers will make the playoffs. Go look at the Giants last year for some education. And at that time, Ben, AB and Troy will be healthy. They will have the number one defense in the league along with one of the most explosive offenses.

Likely result? Do the math. It adds up to number 7 if you ask me.
