| The Titans are garbage but the Steelers aren't their usual excellent selves. |

That looked like pretty bad effort from Wallace to get the ball in. _________________

It's amazing how the Steelers have more bodies in their backfield than the Wu-Tang Clan and still can't run the ball worth a damn, even with a top-10 [top-5 on a good day] QB and one of the deepest receiving groups in the league.
Certainly puts that whole "Ridley and Bolden are only running well because of Tom Brady" thing in perspective. _________________

| Pretty well convinced the Steelers aren't a good team this season. |

Great analogy
Even if Pittsburgh struggles, playoff spots will be easier to come by than usual this season in the AFC. _________________

Barring any craziness, the Pats, Ravens, Texans and Chargers/Broncos are pretty much locks. That leaves two spots for the 2nd place AFCW team, the Steelers, the Bengals, the Colts and possibly the Dolphins to fight over. I'd be more than a little worried if I was a Steelers fan at this point. |

I haven't watched them much this year but what I did see makes the playoffs seem like a long shot. |

The defense is getting better, and Luck is the real deal. As he matures, the offense will be good enough to win them a few games. I wouldn't put them as favorites or anything, but 9-7 is definitely reasonable, and could win a wild card spot. |

The 1 PM games tomorrow are really underwhelming
Dallas/Baltimore is the only halfway appealing matchup
Next week's slate of games is even worse outside of Houston/Baltimore (probably the most important non Patriots game of the year). Pittsburgh/Cincinnati on SNF could be interesting but otherwise it's a pretty ugly selection. |
