Looks like an easy schedule either way (AFCN champs or wild-card) to me.

A lot of travel on the horizon (visiting Seattle, San Francisco, Houston, and Indianapolis for sure). One more perk of winning the division this year (aside from getting the bye and a home game in the divisional round) would be that we would avoid yet another California trip to either San Diego or Oakland (we'd go to Kansas City instead next year if we win the division this weekend).

Long road trips await Steelers in 2011 schedule

By Scott Brown, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Monday, January 3, 2011


Four of the Steelers’ eight away games next season will be played west of the Mississippi River, and they will make trips to Houston, Arizona and San Francisco in 2011.

The Patriots, meanwhile, will visit Heinz Field next season for the second consecutive year.

The NFL released teams' opponents for the 2011 season today, and times and dates of the games will be determined later.

The Steelers will play every team in the AFC South as well as the NFC West in addition to the six games they play within the AFC North.

By virtue of winning the AFC North this season, the Steelers play the first-place finishers in the AFC East (Patriots) and the AFC West (Chiefs).

The 2011 NFL schedule could be affected if there is a protracted standoff over a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA).

The NFL Players Association is bracing for owners to lock out the players in March when the current CBA expires.

Nice to have the NFC West next year but AFC South could be four tough games. Still looks like a 10+ win season.

Initial reaction is this is a really favorable road schedule. And I am going to have a good time going down to Indy and rub the 2010 AFCD playoff loss in their faces.

Cool. I will get to see the Steelers play in Seattle. Those whiny b!tches will still be crying about the SB loss. I may have to travel in numbers to preserve my health.

If they get in your face, just shove them away like Darrell Jackson did.

If they complain about the push, ask them if what you just did is a penalty or not.

That'll shut 'em up.

Nice! No doubt there will be a ton of Steelers fans there.

Of course, this assumes a 2011 season.

Good point. That would be just my luck. The Steelers only travel up here about every 8 years. You have to think that there will be a season. There is just too much money involved.

According to the SteelersDepot post they are.
Pittsburgh Channel.com says that Seattle is playing IN Pittsburgh. If so, that sucks for me.

Steelers Depot is wrong...I went to college in Seattle and was looking forward to flying back, visiting old friends and catching the game but unfortunately the Steelers won't be playing in Seattle in 2011.


[b]NFL Releases List Of Pittsburgh's Opponents For Next Season[/b]

UPDATED: 5:10 pm EST January 3, 2011


PITTSBURGH -- Despite another visit by the hated New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking at an easier schedule in 2011, at least on paper.

According to the NFL's scheduling formula, the Steelers will play their non-division games against teams from the NFC West and the AFC South teams, plus two AFC division champions -- New England and Kansas City.

At home, the Steelers will play Tennessee, Seattle, St. Louis, Jacksonville and New England.

[color=#00FF00]On the road, Pittsburgh will play at San Francisco, Arizona, Indianapolis, Houston and Kansas City.[/color]

And, as always, the Steelers will play two games each -- [color=#00FF00]one at home and one on the road -- against AFC North division rivals Cleveland, Cincinnati and Baltimore.[/color]

Only six of Pittsburgh's 16 games will be against teams who qualified for the playoffs this season.

Dates and times of all games will be announced by the NFL in the spring.
