Will the Steelers make the playoffs in 2019?

Through three games the Pittsburgh Steelers are winless and staring up at the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North. They have never made the playoffs after starting 0-3 and with Ben Roethlisberger out for the year you have to wonder what they are playing for at this point. Is it still the playoffs or just respectability now? That is the question of the day.

Putting all bias aside, we have to say no. History and data says teams who start 0-3 don’t make the playoffs so there’s no reason to believe the Steelers will buck that trend. If Roethlisberger was coming back perhaps but without him wins will be hard to come by and with losing can break complacency.

Cast your vote and tell us if you still have faith in the Steelers to make the playoffs or is this season all about pride and preparing for the future.
