Upset?

Cleveland 13, Pittsburgh 3 at halftime. If the Browns win this thing, the Steelers will be eliminated from the playoffs this season. It is very unlikely that a 7 loss team could make it into the postseason in the AFC.

When Minnie lost a close one to them I figured, hey- there's no shame in losing to the defending champs.  Wow, things it's hard to think that way now. :duh:

Yikes, now it's official- Browns over Steelers 13 to 6.  Hard to imagine.

No touchdowns scored and 8 sacks given up against the Cleveland Browns when their playoff hopes are on the line. Does anyone think the Steelers will finish above .500 this season? I have my doubts at this point. Packers are next, I believe.

Yeah, well the Packers lost to Tampa Bay so anything is possible in the NFL.

If someone had told you back on Halloween Day that the 5-2 Steelers would finish behind the 0-6 Titans, what would you have said? What would you say to that now?

Nope, they are done.

The rest of the season will be an ugly slide into misery and frustration.  Oh wait...that has already happened.

The Super Bowl hangover grabs another victim.  :-(

At this point, it looks like the Broncos and Jags will be the AFC wild cards. Broncos need to win half of their remaining 4 games and Oakland and KC both have to visit Denver, so that looks pretty promising since Denver blew them both out on the road this season. The other two games are Colts and Eagles, both on the road - much less optimism warranted there.

Parity was the goal, right? I notice that out of 16 teams in the AFC, only 6 have a record above .500. In the NFC there are 7 teams batting above .500 out of the 16 contenders. Doesn't that sound pretty imbalanced? Is there any more parity now than there was when the league started trying to engineer it in?
