Dammit.

Well, console yourself with the fact that there won't be a lockout threatening to ruin a season when they actually do come to Seattle in 2015.

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.

I will be there to. This will no doubt be a prime time event!

A clarification on Steelers' 2011 opponents

January 3rd, 2011


Folks, I have already gotten a couple of emails regarding the Steelers’ home and away opponents in 2011, which was released by the NFL Monday afternoon.

The Steelers play every team in the NFC West next season, per the league’s scheduling rotation, and at first glance it does appear an error was made in the location of two games.

The Steelers are scheduled to play at Arizona and San Francisco while hosting St. Louis and Seattle.

Since the Steelers played at Arizona and St. Louis in 2007 while hosting Seattle and San Francisco, it would stand to reason that they would visit the Seahawks in 2011 and host the Cardinals, not the other way around.

However, the league made a change in its scheduling procedure in 2010 that fixes what it had deemed a competitive imbalance.

The NFL didn’t want teams whose divisions draw the AFC West or NFC West for a given season playing two games on the West Coast -– something that happened with the Steelers in 2006 when they played at San Diego and Oakland -- while others in their division didn’t play any on the West Coast.

That is why the Steelers aren’t playing both the 49ers and Seahawks on the road next season. For anyone who missed it here are the Steelers’ home and away opponents for next season.

The times and dates of the game will be announced this spring.

Home opponents

Bengals

Browns

Ravens

Jaguars

Patriots

Rams

Seahawks

Titans

Away opponents

Bengals

Browns

Ravens

Cardinals

Chiefs

Colts

49ers

Texans

And no, my loss isn't against the cheaters. its the chiefs. decent up and coming team, arrowhead tough place to play. just a hunch. but the rest of the games are winnable.
