Wow. Saw just 15 mins of the game. Didn't realize it would turn in to a rout. I guess, stating the obvious, AFC goes through 3 Rivers.

Yeah, looking at their schedule the rest of the way they should have the #1 seed come playoff time. Pats can’t lose and the week 15 game vs the Steelers is going to be very important. Steelers offense is loaded, to beat them the Pats need to put a lot of pressure on Ben. Not one of the Pats defensive strengths.

saw the 1st half and went to bed
Titans were just bad.
Mariota with lots of bad throws and lucky he only got 2 int. (i know he had 2 more in the 2nd half).
score was 7 - 19 if i'm not mistaken but i just gave up watching because it was clear the Titans would need a miracle to comeback.
Steelers D line was just too much for their O line to handle. Pressure got to Mariota every pass play + a bunch of running plays with no gain.
Big Ben is playing better this last few matches but it's clear he has passed is prime and is in decline. When we play the Steelers if we can get good pressure on him we will get a few turnovers for sure.

Steelers are legit this year. It looks like the Steelers D of old for sure, which should scare us. The only chink in the armor is with Ben right now. If he gets injured or his ego causes a rift in the locker room there could be issues, but the Steelers are legit. Getting the #1 seed is going to be important which makes the game in 3 weeks all the more important

Actually, assuming that KC loses one more game, the Pats can afford to lose one more game so long as it is not to the Steelers. In that case we would both be 13-3, but we would hold the tie-breaker. |

Pittsburgh has the easiest schedule I've ever seen going forward. One difficult game left, Pats at Pittsburgh.

Yeah, Steelers sure look legit. Agree that Ben may be the weak link.

Now they will lose to Green Bay. Team too erratic. They lucked out, no Rodgers, or Watson they will face. Mariota is getting on the overrated side to me as QB.

Steelers or the Pats and it may just come down to the week 15 game. In the interim, as BB would say, we are on to the Raiders. One game at a time because a lot can happen between now and then. Recall, both the Steelers and Pats did not look that great to start the season.

Pats are Road Warriors, Steelers better play their best game. Mr. Bill is right 1st worry about Oakland.

Pats and Steelers have both just completed 'defining' games. Both teams looked powerful and complete.
We are forgetting we are seeing only 1 part of the pie from each team. Everyone looks like a world beater after you played your best game of the year. We are forgetting it is week to week league where game play is determined by match-ups. There is still a lot of football to be played. No one is ready to crowned yet. Certainly, not the Steelers.
On to Mexico City!

Actually, the Pats are the only tough game the rest of the way.. Pats have a few tough games, Raiders, Steelers, Bills twice.. so yes, the Steelers game will be very significant... only if the Pats dont loss another game. Steelers fans are feeling good right now, as they should be. |

The Tennessee Tuxedos and specifically, QB Marcus Mariota (four picks last night), are grossly overrated.
Which team can stay the most injury free from here on out will play a huge role on what happens in the AFC. I don't think that the Steeler's secondary is any better this year, than last.

We've been playing Russian roulette for years with this team, I'm afraid eventually they're going to get us. Hopefully not this year, but to win the Super Bowl we will probably have to beat this team twice, and at least one time, if not two, in Pitt. But the Pitt game is the only game we could realistically lose, barring something stupidly unexpected, or more injuries.

Pitt have had an absolute cupcake schedule all season and with the exception of the Pats it is even easier. Might hurt them in the end.

Also the Steelers organisation from the coach down can't control their own ego's. At least 1 of them will say and do something stupid in the lead up to a crucial game against the Patriots which always give BB an extra bit of motivation to work with.

Is this the most talented Steelers offense the Patriots will have faced in the past 10-15 years? I believe so.
The AFC Champions will either be the Patriots or the Steelers. The Super Bowl Champion will come from the AFC.
