You are correct. My mistakeDoesn't the 5th seed go to Houston?

I would think you'd much rather be 5th seed and go to Houston vs. falling behind the Chargers and having to go to Baltimore in the 1st round. I'm assuming the Chargers will take care of the Raiders on Sun. if the Steelers lose on Sat. The league would be happy regardless. They get to promote either a "Harbaugh Bowl" (Steeler win) or another Ravens-Steelers rivalry game on wildcard weekend.Broncos and Dolphins play Sunday @ 4. So Cincy will be playing with great intensity Saturday. Since Baltimore will demolish Cleveland Saturday afternoon, will Pittsburgh sit key guys? They will either be the 5th or 6th seed. Pick your poison, goung to Baltimore or Buffalo? Id give them a slim chance to beat Baltimore and practically no chance at Buffalo
Steelers won't fire him he is a loyal soldier nor is he the issue. Organization has not much more of a clue (or just doesn't care) on how to win than the Bengals or browns. A washed-up QB behind a bad o-line yeah that leads to success. Ravens are the only organization in the AFC North that knows what it takes to win: good o-line, good defense, and a capable QB.Fire tomlin after the playoffs.
Agree. It would have been difficult to catch ( he might have run another 5 yds) and get set up for a fg in 15 seconds. This team wasn’t going anywhere in any case. So they play at Baltimore next week lose by 20 and go home.Would rather play in Baltimore anyways....
I don't think they wooulda had time to spike it after that drop.
And fire tomlin.Agree. It would have been difficult to catch ( he might have run another 5 yds) and get set up for a fg in 15 seconds. This team wasn’t going anywhere in any case. So they play at Baltimore next week lose by 20 and go home.
Does make it easier in us fans.Agree. It would have been difficult to catch ( he might have run another 5 yds) and get set up for a fg in 15 seconds. This team wasn’t going anywhere in any case. So they play at Baltimore next week lose by 20 and go home.
Yes, Tomlin took a team picked by many to finish last in the division to 10 wins and a playoff birth. That team had no offense all year and still had a winning record.You benched justin fields for this .fire mike tomlin.
I’m starting to have my doubts about Tomlin but the Steelers were picked to be 4th (last) in the division so I’ll give some kudos for that. Lots needs fixed however.Yes, Tomlin took a team picked by many to finish last in the division to 10 wins and a playoff birth. That team had no offense all year and still had a winning record.
I agree there is much room for improvement, butt the talent disparity between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati is pretty stark, so if anything, Cincinnati needs to fire a coach. The Browns need to fire a coach. Tomlin is no X's and O's Wizzard, but he seems to have the ability to bring about team unity.I’m starting to have my doubts about Tomlin but the Steelers were picked to be 4th (last) in the division so I’ll give some kudos for that.

Wilson is a has been.the two biggest issues on this team are
1. the OC. Arthur Smith playcalling is simply atrocious and completely handcuffs Wilson into automatic passing 3rd downs so often. the run/run/pass/punt/repeat is just so vanilla and awful. the toss sweeps, one being to effing 50 year old Cordarelle Patterson in crunch time is just inexcusable and a firable offense, IMO. how do you not have your BEST players (Warren) on the field in crunch time? it's unreal to me. call a QB sneak on 3rd and 1 but can't get it then run your SPEED back up the middle on 4th and 1??? WTF is going on?
2. WR depth - they need to go out and find another LEGIT WR. it seems like Williams (even last night made one) makes some great plays and has some ability still yet we see Van Jefferson on the field way more often. that's a crime as well.
Wilson is NOT the issue. the playcalling and then lack of playmakers on offense at times.
Wrong .Yes, Tomlin took a team picked by many to finish last in the division to 10 wins and a playoff birth. That team had no offense all year and still had a winning record.
How do you reach such a conclusion ?Wrong .
That he can't coach anymore look at this year.How do you reach such a conclusion ?
Nah.I didn’t realize rb Jaylen Warren is an unrestricted FA after this season. When Pit declined Harris 5th year, I believe they should have prioritized Warren with an extension.

Like the other 31 teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers have some tough decisions in the offseason.steelerswire.usatoday.com
Nah.
He is a dime a dozen.
Is the goal to win the AFC North or the Super Bowl? … Maybe this is the reason both have struggled in the playoffs over the past several seasons?Steelers won't fire him he is a loyal soldier nor is he the issue. Organization has not much more of a clue (or just doesn't care) on how to win than the Bengals or browns. A washed-up QB behind a bad o-line yeah that leads to success.
