But they can beat CIN and still be a 12-4 WC.
I didn't really think they'd lose to WAS, but it's now "very possible" they lose to BUF and IND. When I said 10%, that was before WAS and I was being a homer.

I just commented on what I read.
Everyone else involved has to do there thing...but none of that 1-2-5 seed stuff matters to me. If they can’t throw it some down the field and run some this is all moo. I don’t care where they fall in the playoffs, I care if they can win and right now they can’t win in the playoffs.
In other thoughts...nothing to do with Pittsburgh, there not being much of any crowd has evened the playing fields and home field advantage doesn’t feel important as 8000 fans aren’t bothering the opp or pumping up the home team.

I agree with you, and if they do end up going to a bubble, homefield won't matter at all. The #1 seed would still be big because of the bye.
It has been pretty clear the entire season, that the Steelers are good, but NOT undefeated good. I am not shocked by this hiccup.

They’ve been trending this way for a few weeks. I’m just stunned the WFT was able to actually capitalize on it. But not shocked at all the Steelers played the way they did.

Sometimes hiccups are hard to stop...
I saw that loss coming a mile away after the meh performance against Baltimore.
Fool's gold IMO. Too many injuries to the D and the running game is nonexistant. That's not going to translate to a deep playoff run.

I'd say all the schedule changes, and barely practicing in a month, caught up to them.
But I'm not sure that's an excuse for not being able to run the ball for like 6+ weeks.
Dez having a Twitter melt down
He shouldn’t have ever been on the field warming up. He had an inconclusive test from this morning. And now he says he’s quitting the rest of the season.
Since I tested positive for Covid before the game do the game stop or go on? @NFL

This was my favorite tweet. He seems oblivious the NFL already bent over backwards to accommodate his clusterfuck team. Doesn’t seem odd to him the game was on a Tuesday?
They STILL have guys testing positive? LOL
Maybe Harbaugh really is trying to force a Wk18 so they can slither into the playoffs as the 8 seed.
They said he was the only positive test result. Of course, I’m sure there will be some on both teams come tomorrow. He was out there hugging and embracing a ton of Dallas guys, without a mask on.

OK so, yeah, Harbaugh totally is trying to force a Wk18.
“No one wash their hands if they want in the playoffs!”
That roughing the passer call has ruined my dog’s evening.
Well this game just got a lot less interesting. Cart clearly just pulled his groin.
Ok, maybe not. Mariota looking solid.
