    Just a note for those that are interested, the Steelers/Ravens game was moved to 4:25.

      How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

          Does the Ravens game even matter?

          Basically if Hou wins we're in, but if Ten wins we're out?

          Or are there permutations where Oak can make it? I assume that we should always win the tie breaker against Indy, but maybe a multiple team tie changes that?

            I really enjoyed this season, tast of life after Ben, when he went out, and hate/disapointmen for the one annual FA failure in Moncief, and then Fitz trade, the legend of Duck, the love for Tomlin (who would of thought), the development of our skill players... call me nuts!

              I will say I enjoyed this season from the perspective of zero expectations after the 2nd week, low stress and enjoyed some pleasant surprises from young players along the way (such as James Washington and Dionte). Yesterday's disaster didn't even anger me as I really didn't think the Steelers were going to win. I hope they win next week, I hope the Titans lose and I hope we get one more week of football. But I'm not emotionally invested in this years version, so the savings on my therapy bills has been pleasant surprise. Love to watch the steelers, love football so I'll take as much as I can get - but I have no expectations of football beyond next sunday.

              with that perspective - it's been a fun year.

                I just heard Texans may bench Watson and a lot of the defensive guys.

                    It does matter. If Baltimore plays their studs, we have no chance.

                      I would be smart to do that.

                        Doesn’t Bmore have the number 1 seed locked up?

                        Why would they play their studs?

                          my guess is L Jackson doesnt play much, if any.. most of the other guys should. Since they have a 1st round bye... they stand the risk of coming out rusty in the div round by sitting idle for a few weeks

                            I think the Chiefs punch their super bowl ticket this year.

                              Ingram is dinged you.

                              They will rest their studs.

                              It would be foolish of them to risk it given how physical they play.

                              No way would I risk these guys against a desperate Steeler defense.

                                That's the sound of us backing in
                                Just saw where the Ravens are sitting guys and the Texans aren't
