Sunday night’s loss to the Buffalo Bills dropped the Pittsburgh Steelers to 8-6 on the season and put their playoff lives in jeopardy. The Steelers still cling to the No. 6 seed in the AFC thanks to a loss by the Tennessee Titans but the Steelers still have two very tough games to go and no margin for error. Sunday’s defeat was ugly and Pittsburgh’s offense was dominated by the Bills defense.
Is this a playoff-caliber team? That isn’t really the question. It’s all about getting in and then anything can happen. So we ask the question, on the heels of this loss, do you think the Steelers will make the playoffs?

We still think Pittsburgh will make it in. Next week the Steelers travel to take on the New York Jets and the Titans welcome the New Orleans Saints. If the Steelers win and the Titans lose, Pittsburgh still needs to win and then it won’t matter what happens with Tennessee.
But if both teams lose, it will come down to the Steelers playing the Ravens on the road and the Titans going to Houston to play the Texans. It really could come down to the final games.
Case your vote and tell us if you think the Steelers squeak in or come up just short.
