Wild Card Round Discussion (2026 Edition)

I don't think we would've done THAT much better tbh. That front-7 would've done unspeakable things to BOTH of our guards.

texans defense so damn fun to watch

I'm honestly thinking we are looking at a Texans-Broncos AFC Championship Game. NFC, not sure. 49ers are banged up and eventually losing so many players catches up to you. Rams are vulnerable but they can beat Chicago. So probably a Rams-Seahawks NFC Championship Game.

Josh Allen is going to beat Bo Nix.

so where do the Steelers draft now? Instead of around 14.. they pick somewhere in the 20s?

Tua, you are a Pittsburgh Steeler

Beating us caused them to fall 7 spots.

Nice.

Tomlin the new Marvin Lewis lol

So for comparison, we are picking 14th. If we had won that game and assuming the Texans defense swallows us whole as well. We would have went from 14th to 20th, losing six spots. Pittsburgh actually would have been picking 17th so they only lost four spots.

1. Happy the Steelers lost
2. Really puts into perspective how garbage our defense was when this offense was this bad and that is with DK playing
3. We weren't beating Houston in this game either and I am happy we didn't have to watch Lamar run around for 3 hours against this defense

 

[allblackraven]

should have watched the game...

Agree on all counts. I’m glad we didn’t have to play this game. Also, fuck the Steelers.

All things considered, last week's loss was an amazing blessing. Should be able to get the best safety in the draft too.

Safety or CB

There is nothing sweeter than watching the Steelers lose in the first round of the playoffs. When is the last time they won a playoff game??
LMAO.

losing managed to get us 7 spots higher in the draft and also got rid of harbaugh!!!

steelers lose 7 spots in the draft and probably keep tomlin - pyrrhic victory
