I really can’t believe this, but the Steelers will probably end up as the 1-seed with home field advantage, and yet  there are probably at least 20 better teams in the NFL.

 

check out the remainder of their schedule:

 

@ CLE (Dorian Thompson-Robinson)
@ CIN (Jake Browning)
vs AZ (Kyler Murray)
vs NE (Mac Jones/Bailey Zappe?)
@ IND (Gardner Minshew)
vs CIN (Jake Browning)
@ SEA (Geno Smith)
@ BAL (Lamar Jackson)

Browns will beat them this Sunday.

They absolutely have a chance, don't know if it's a probable yet. Half of those are backups and there could be more by the time the game is played. The Ravens lost Andrews for the year and possibly Odell for a while too. Pickett will have to stay healthy to continue their barely treading water qb play, but I would say they probably will win the division now. Kind of bad of the Browns and Bengals to have so little behind their starting qbs. If I'm Haslam I'm kicking the browns gm squarely in the nuts for trading Dobbs preseason.

I was playing with the playoff machine this afternoon and looked at the standings after week 15 and saw as the number one seed and just laughed

 

 

[st pete gogolak]

Outgained in 17 straight games and the #1 seed?  Statistically. . . Improbable.

I see 4 losses.

 

Cleveland still has a great defense. Indy in Indy is a threat. At Seattle is no easy game and At Baltimore.

 

And Arizona is improved with Little Ky-Ky back. Anything can happen, of course. I have them at the 7 seed.

4?  No way

No they're not lol

 

They have a -26 point differential 

They have the 27th ranked offense and 28th ranked defense

 

 

Stats don't matter

[LarryMadman]

So you're saying Pissburgh has a far superior coach to Buffalo. 

[L Ron Burgundy]

If they're the 2 seed I want the Bills as 7 seed.

Wish we had the schedule, going to be fun beating them 

 

 

[transplantbillsfan]

I'd love it. They'd be the weakest number 1 seed ever

I hear you. But given that collection of QBs, their defense will score for them and they will win all those games, except possibly the Baltimore game. And that is a divisional game, which will be a total coin flip.
 

Every win has been a coin flip for them this year, and they have won them:

 

“ All six wins for the Steelers this season have come by a single score. The Steelers are 6-3, but outscored on the season by 26 points and for the ninth straight game were outgained by their opponent.”

You can see how all the evidence you're presenting actually suggests Pittsburgh will regress to the mean, right? That they've been incredibly fortunate so far in 2023, and that's unlikely to continue? (I guess Minnesota last season was this way for the entire REGULAR SEASON, winning close games despite being outplayed. But it's not the likely outcome.)

There is no chance. The Chiefs will be the 1 seed. They are favored in every game the rest of the way and they currently hold the tiebreaker over every team below them. They have a cakewalk to the Super Bowl. Does anyone really think the dolphins have any shot at going into a frigid game in January in KC and beating them? Does anyone really think the Ravens minus Mark Andrews will go in there and beat them? Trevor Lawrence is 0-3 all time vs Mahomes. Chad Henne even put up a touchdown drive vs the Jags for them last year. And Lawrence has been playing like crap this year. The Super Bowl will be the end of a very easy road for KC. The Cowboys, 49ers, and Eagles could all beat the Chiefs. But Andy Reid with extra time is a really hard thing to overcome.

At this point, I don’t care
 

It won’t be us. I am worried about our playoff possibilities.

[BullBuchanan]

Not even close. They're going to get wrecked by Indy and Bal, will probably lose to Cin at least once, AZ will be tough, and so will SEA. Best case they finish the season 10-7

[billsbackto81]

That would be one for the books, statistically that is. Would go down as the weakest offensive #1 seed in history. 

[Dan Darragh]

They're lucky to get both of their Cincy games against a rookie.

[IslandBillsFan]

I am not even sure they will win their division let alone be the #1 AFC seed.  Right now they are two games back of Baltimore and have to play them again.

This site really needs a 'sarcasm' filter, similar to those 'I am a human' tests that must be done before accessing a website.  The readership deserves knowing if a poster is serious or not. 🤨
