The Timing for the Steelers Game Couldn't be Worse

I don't buy the "this is the worst situation we could be playing them in" rhetoric.

Heres the question. Would you rather play a Steelers team thats done and outa the playoffs only playing for pride, or would you rather face a Steelers team in the hunt playing to make the playoffs?

I think this is the best situation we could be in as far as playing them. They know they are done. Pride is not enough to win ballgames.

Exactly. If the Steelers had beaten Denver, they would be 3-5 with an outside shot. At 2-6 it's basically impossible to no only go undefeated but jump 10 other teams in the standings because some of them will win games. Maybe if the Steelers went 8-0 and everyone else went 2-6, then yeah but that isn't possible. It is out of Pittsburgh's hands right now and the odds of several above-.500 teams suddenly tanking while a sub-.500 Pittsburgh soars is dreaming of the highest order.

It's okay, Saints fans. Don't fret about this game. We have a REAL team now!
