Steelers record vs the playoffs compared to others.

The Steelers will win IF they win the TO battle. As I posted elsewhere, in every one of their playoff losses in the last 5 yrs they lost the TO battle.

Obviously this means Bad Ben needs to stay home today....

I don't think that's unreasonable.

I'd probably put us ahead of the Ravens because we should face KC a game later.

But the Ravens have looked like the much better team since our last game.

The best time to face KC may be after their bye. Some of their key players haven't played in 3 weeks, so there may be some rust. If KC wins and sustains no injuries in their game, they will likely be tougher to beat in the AFC championship game.

I think your boys will beat the crap out of them.

Playing them after that (or having a home game against BAL) would be good IMO.

Ill take any team the week after they play Baltimore.

My worry is the Titans seem to have Baltimore’s number and I think they have the coaching edge for 1 game. So Baltimore could beat up the Titans who will then be teed up to get destroyed by KC and then KC could cruise into the AFCC against us.

The more I look at these teams, the more I realize they’re all flawed and that gives me some hope for our chances.

I enjoyed watching that Heineken kid last night for the WFT. Wonder if we could try to trade for him in the off-season? We want to go after every other QB out there and I think that kid has some real potential.

I'd love to see a Steelers/Ravens game because it means that both teams won their playoff games. Based on the playoff games that I watched, t's impossible to predict what will happen with any degree of confidence. If the Colts weren't led by brain dead coaches, they would have beat the Bills. Not taking the 3 points and going for it on 4th and 4 was plain stupid. And you knew that stop was going to fire up the Bills offense which it did. And who would have thought that Washington with a 4th string QB would give Tampa a good game.

Colts coach was chasing points for no reason. Still doubt they win if they kicked the FG’s and extra point. Bills still had to march 96 yards and the Colts couldn’t stop them.

Colts had a chance to tie or win but Rivers is terrible in those circumstances.


I have to give it up to Heineke. He balled out. Never seen him play that well before in Carolina.

Heineken made himself some money.
