Go Jaguars! That’s the position the Pittsburgh Steelers are in.

The Steelers need to win their final two games (Monday night against the Browns and next week against the Ravens) and they need to the Jaguars to beat the Colts next Sunday as well. Then the Steelers get into the playoffs.

Columnists Tim Benz and Mark Madden discuss the Steelers’ plight on this edition of “Unfiltered” on TribLIVE’s Facebook page.

Some fans think the team should lose and get a better draft pick. But Benz and Madden think the team is going to “Finish middle. Draft middle. Stay middle.” And be that way for a long time.

If they were going to lose to get a better draft pick, they should have started that earlier, they say.

This could be the third time in four years that the Steelers have missed the playoffs. And the fifth straight year without a playoff victory.

The guys also preview Monday night’s game against the Browns, Antonio Brown’s blow-up, the state of the Penguins, Evgeni Malkin’s return and more.

They also answer viewers comments and questions.
