playoffs!!!!!

[feltdizz]

fire Tomlin!!!

[Slapstick]

Looks like the Chargers still have a shot if Houston can hold on...

[buccoray61]

Back where they belong

[8467thekraken]

Stoked!!!!

[Oviedo]

Good overall game today and back to where we should be every year. Hopefully Houston can bury the Ravens and the Broncos bury the Bumgals tomorrow. We finish business next Sunday.

[Steelerphile]

I am excited. Just as I thought, under Tomlin the team has improved over the course of the season. Right now, they are looking good on defense and "obviously" on offense. I think they will be a tough out in the playoffs.

[Rara]

Woot! We still have another game and mission...beat Cincinatti and clinch the division. LETS DO THIS!

[Slapstick]

It looks like the #3 seed could be available if we win...

Down 7-0, Indy attempted a fake punt from their own 16. It failed. 14-0 next play.

28-0 now. Indy looking to get ATLEAST 3 here going into half time but if we can win next week the #3 seed looks to be ours. Which would put a possibility of playing cinci on back to back weeks I think.

[Flasteel]

Win next week and we are the division champs, have at least 1 home playoff game, and will likely be the 3 seed. To make it even better, the Rats get embarassed with their season on the line. Beautiful day in the NFL. Beautiful!!!

If Cincy loses against Denver and against us, they will need a lot of help to get in...

fire Tomlin!!!

Really dude?????? The Steelers are going to the playoffs for the first time in 3 years, and the first thing you can think of to do is start up another Mike Tomlin argument. Nice!!!!!!!

Dude...it was obvious sarcasm. The kind that you don't miss unless you are slobbering drunk. Now, if your post was also intended to be sarcastic, then I guess it was just a lot more subtle. :tt2

[Iron City Inc.]

Congrats to Tomlin n staff the organization and all our Steelers. Nice to get back to the dance again.

lol... even Stevie Wonder could see it was sarcasm.

[Slapstick]

I think I have this correct:

In: Pats*, Broncos, Colts, Steelers - regardless of tomorrow night's outcome, Pittsburgh wins the division and claims the #3 seed with a win...

In the hunt: Cincinnati - in with a win over Denver OR a win over the Steelers; can also get in with a loss by Baltimore OR San Diego
Baltimore - in with a win over Cleveland AND two Cincinnati losses OR a San Diego loss
San Diego - in with a win over KC; in with a tie if Cincinnati loses twice OR Baltimore loses
Houston - in with a win AND Baltimore loss AND San Diego loss
Kansas City - in with a win AND Baltimore loss AND San Diego loss AND Houston loss

I heard this morning that the AFC North can still all get in with both wildcards except for Cleveland. Not sure how that works though.

[NorthCoast]

Those that were predicting the demise of the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier in the season can now sit down. I am not sure which I am more impressed with, the coaching by LeBeau in overcoming a lot of lost veteran talent and having to field young guys, or Haley's building of an offensive powerhouse. Might he again be a HC candidate?

I hope not...

It would be a tough loss I think, but last report is there may be as many as 8 coaching changes next season.

Understood the sarcasm. I dont understand the need for it, except to antagonize the "haters" after a big win.

I wouldn't be surprised if Haley gets a lot of looks for HC positions after the season.

I'm so glad that these scenarios only impact seeding for the Steelers.

[Slapstick]

1) Cincinnati wins one of the next two
2) Baltimore wins against Cleveland
3) San Diego loses

This disqualifies San Diego, Houston and KC

The "haters" don't hesitate to antagonize the rest of us after a loss...let 'em have a taste of their own junk...

DESERVES it.

OK thanks. I still like any outcome that has either Baltimore or the Bumgals sitting at home.

[Flasteel]

I just wanted to update this thread, mostly because I was tired of seeing the last post stuck on Tuesday morning.

That said...what's the more desirable matchup?

At home vs. SD or Baltimore, or hitting the road as the 5 seed to play Indy? Obviously, the division championship home game, and going into the playoffs hot, is the preferred route. But in terms of matchups, who would you rather play?

[Sword]

I would like to play Houston or Cincinnati.

Houston worries me....I would rather play Chargers.

[AzStillers1989]

I would rather play whoever is next. That answer may be lame but whoever we have to play and wherever it is doesn't matter. This team will have to find a way to play their best 60 minutes to move forward in the tournament.

[Slapstick]

If I HAD to choose? San Diego...

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Lame or not, I'm right there with you, AZ. Line'em up, well face whoever, and Art willing and the Creeks don't rise we'll fight hard enough to move on. This past week showed me we haven't stopped getting better. JUST 4 MORE WINS!!

[bostonsteeler]

JUST 4 MORE WINS!!

Are you predicting Denver loses tomorrow?

Otherwise, we need 5.

[Moonie]

We will crush the Bengals at home.

For all our talk- I predicted 8-8, but who wasn't the miserable way they were playing? - this team has done well. That is a Super Bowl Offense, and the defense has shown obvious signs of improvement. If we get the right guys in there at the right time, and Deebo stays healthy, we can go long and compete against anyone except the Patriots, Packers, and Seahawks.

If our offense is able to get it going and our defense isn't bleeding big plays, we can not only compete with those three teams, we can beat them.

We dont really need to beat Cinci, although i think we will. BB > Dalton esp under the lights

[hawaiiansteel]

Mark Kaboly @MarkKaboly_Trib -

Steelers need to beat Bengals because home game a must. Don't like Steelers chances in Indy. They will beat Balt/SD/KC/Hou at home.

[Discipline of Steel]

My point is a victory against Cinci is not required for our SB run...

[Mr.wizard]

My point is a victory against Cinci is not required for our SB run...

Nope not at all, the only requirement for getting to the super bowl once your in the playoffs, is beating the next team you play.

[fordfixer]

This is true. However I wouldn't want to end the regular season with a loss.

The opponent doesn't really matter to me, I would rather the Steelers get a home game and going into the playoffs on a winning note, so with that said, I want them to win tonight and play whoever comes to town.

[Mr.wizard]

I would like to win the division, and finish 11-5, that would be nice. Man if we had beaten Tampa, Cleveland, and the jets we might be talking best team in football, what a season!

Exactly 20 years ago we began 3-3, went on to 11-5, and went to the SB.

I believe in patterns. I think we must go 11-5! :-)

After the 1994 season, we lost to San Diego in the AFCC...

Curse you, Tim McKyer!!!

[Wolfhound45]

After the 1994 season, we lost to San Diego in the AFCC...

Curse you, Tim McKyer!!!And Alfred Pupunu. Grrrrr.

[Shoe]

And Alfred Pupunu. Grrrrr.

What did Pupunu do? Tim McKyer is the biggest, one-game goat in Steelers history. He is our Jackie Smith, our Earnest Byner. (I'm sure I'm missing someone pretty obvious, though.)

[Wolfhound45]

What did Pupunu do? Tim McKyer is the biggest, one-game goat in Steelers history. He is our Jackie Smith, our Earnest Byner. (I'm sure I'm missing someone pretty obvious, though.)The winning TD was scored against McKyer. But it was the same play used by Alfred Pupunu earlier in the game to make the score 13-10 Steelers. Total scrub (a blocking tightend) that scored on a 43 yard TD pass as well. Still angry over that one.
