    Pitt can beat any AFC team

    Sounds crazy, but this Pitt team is way better than last year's team that got rolled by KC.

    They can win against the No. 2 seed, whoever that is.

    But they likely won't get in.

    Come on man. Sure they can run the ball a bit and play hard.

    You think they will win a playoff game in Buffalo, KC or Cincinnati?

    Every year some team makes a late run and people take them in the playoffs and they get rolled.

    Christ, when Buffalo came to Pittsburgh, they rolled the Steelers 38 to 3 with Josh Allen throwing for over 400 yards and 4 TDs.

    Pittsburgh grinding 9 minute drives and kicking Field Goals isn't going to get them anywhere.

    People on here love to make these outlandish predictions.

    eg, raiders to Superbowl, Colts, to win AFC, Tampa to win Super bowl etc etc

    And now this. Does anyone ever make serious predictions.

    At least 4 teams can name the score if they play them in playoffs.

    They def could beat the Bengals, the other 2 not happening. If they played the Bengals in Cinncy they would actually have a home field advantage crowd wise.

    I'm not saying Pitt is winning anything, but in one game, they can beat any of these teams with their line play.

    You can't base anything off early season results. Dallas lost 19-3 to Tampa and looked awful. They are now likely to play at Tampa in the opening round and Dallas will be favored.

    Of course literally anything *can* happen. Just a question of likelihood. Any playoff team *can* beat any other playoff team. Turnovers are the great equalizer. A few turnovers and bounces go your way and anything *can* happen. Doesn't mean it's worth the investment.

    Their playoff chances are very small and even if they make it they are one and done. Their offense can't keep up with the AFC elite teams.

    They can barely beat crappy teams and backup QBs. It’s the same team as last year just a rookie qb instead of a washed one

    A team with a QB that has not thrown a touchdown pass to one of the top route running wrs in the nfl in 17 games is going to win the afc?

    Lol.

    pitt is not beating the bills or the chiefs. chargers would be tough also. a team that can score 21 easily is tough for the steelers. similar to the jets problems.

    Nope, not enough firepower. Chargers are the team that has the best chance to knock off the top 3 in the AFC, but I wouldn't bet on it happening.
