Currently at 2-2

http://www.kansan.com/news/2011/oct/04/struggling-teams-have-varying-playoff-prospects/
Pittsburgh Steelers: let’s begin with the defending AFC conference champions who are 2-2 and have really struggled to get going. The Steelers haven’t looked very good, even in their wins, and they are fighting some injuries. The biggest injury may be to Ben Roethlisberger, who, if he continues to take the punishment that he has been receiving, may not finish the season. He also may not be able to play this weekend in a big match-up with the 3-1 Tennessee Titans. If the Steelers drop this game they would be 2-3 and have a hole just in the Wild Card race.
Prediction: No playoffs. I think that they just won’t be able to protect Roethlisberger enough to reach the playoffs. The Ravens are going to win the division, and I don’t think the Steelers can make the Wild Card, especially if they lose to the Titans

Looks like the "loser" of the SB jinx continues. You wouldn't have thought it would affect the mighty Steelers, but there you have it.

I say they are a WC if they can stay healthy especially at QB....

Their last seven games assuming they have a healthy Big Ben should make it easy:
Sun, Nov 13 Cincinnati Bengals @ Cincinnati (2-2) 1:00 pm EST
Bye
Sun, Nov 27 Kansas City Chiefs @ Kansas City (1-3) 8:20 pm EST
Sun, Dec 4 Cincinnati Bengals vs Cincinnati (2-2) 1:00 pm EST
Thu, Dec 8 Cleveland Browns vs Cleveland (2-2) 8:20 pm EST
Mon, Dec 19 San Francisco 49ers @ San Francisco (3-1) 8:30 pm EST
Sat, Dec 24 St. Louis Rams vs St. Louis (0-4) 1:00 pm EST
Sun, Jan 1 Cleveland Browns @ Cleveland (2-2) 1:00 pm EST


who in this group is going to beat a healthy Steeler team?

Plus they play Jacksonville and Arizona in mid season.

Difficult games left are:

Tomorrow in Pitt vs Tenn.
Oct 30th in Pitt vs New England
Nov 6th in Pitt vs Baltimore

10-6 gets them an AFC WC....


wil.

Steelers have a relatively easy schedule. I think they find a way to get in . . .

Steelers will contest Bills, Jets, and Raiders for the two WC spots.
Just stay healthy and win. Easier said than done. Can they? yes Will they? perhaps...
