According to "The Steel Curtain" on Facebook, they said despite the loss to The Jets, The Steelers still clinched a playoff berth today. They cited "The NFL" as their source. Can anyone confirm, as I don't see it anywhere else....?

Ben needs to step up and start playing like a 100 million dollar QB that he supposedly is and put some points on the board or its one and done.

yep we clinched a playoff spot. the best an afc west/south non-division winner can do is 10-6 and we win either tiebreaker due to better division record. Whether we beat out baltimore will determine if we're the #2 or #6 seed. If we end up not winning the division we lose the head to head tiebreaker to the jets which will get us the #6.

Given how they have been playing (even the wins have been a bit tainted), I really don't see them going very far into the playoffs.

I keep hoping the light will go off.....the team will get on a late season surge....peaking just right......yet, all I get, every week...is "Ground Hog Day"...over, and over, and over.

Also, I doubt the philosophy......when the playoffs start, its a new season and anyone can win. That's bullshit.

You take a fat girl home from the bar.....what do you have in the morning? A fat girl. Teams, just like ladies, don't magically change over night.
