    I'm in Flippy, I won't be getting up extra early or playing Renegade on loop but, as unbelievable as this sounds, I have enjoyed this season with all of its frustrations, downright poor play and the victories over very good teams. It's Ben's final rodeo and I would love for him to have one more "Ben like" game against his biggest rival and will the Steelers to victory. You have to be in it to win it so I'll be watching Indy vs Jax and hoping for at least a competitive game that keeps the Steelers alive and the possibly a 4th quarter FG to win it. Of course, then we have to wait for Sunday night and cheer for whichever team scores first to score often. Just can't have a tie.

    Like you said, "somebody has to win, why not us?" Lets go Ben!

        This has been the strangest season I can remember. We can go an entire half of football with what looks like JV players all over the field. And then somehow, late in the 3rd quarter, it wakes up and makes games competitive. I've never seen anything like the display the Steelers have put on this season.

        Looking forward to the finale, how ever it goes. Losing Haden and DJ for it really hurts though.

          What would really give me a flicker of hope is if Hassenauer repeats the Cleveland effort and the Steelers run all over the Ravens, too. Then you think maybe we have something to build on, either next year or in the playoffs.

            Amen brother WCS, I'm with you on that one for sure. Here's to JC having another good to great game and Moore as well.

              Believe in the Jags with the assist of the century.

              Believe that as the regular season clock strikes 0, we’ll be looking ahead to next week and the start of the playoffs.

              I know it’s not likely. And most of you don’t want to set yourself up for disappointment.

              Heck, who cares. We’re going all in on this season.

              I’m gonna wake up extra early Sunday morning.

              I’ll try a prayer. Seriously if there is a God, he’s gotta be a Steelers fan.

              I’ll put Renegade on a loop and listen for hours trying to decode the power of that ballad.

              I will tell others I believe. And ask them to believe too.

              After all, for anything to come true, 1 person had to believe.

              Will you join me?

              Will you be the one that will set the tone of belief within your circle?

              Will your belief become contagious?

              So contagious that it will impact the outcome of this weekends games?

              In all seriousness, Steelers winning and making the playoffs is about the equivalent of one of us winning the PowerBall.

              But somebody has to win. And why not us?

              This weekend is likely to be decided by what jersey I wear and what food I eat on Sunday. So let’s hope I figure out the perfect pairing.

              And you do the same.

              Who’s in????

                Now that we’re sneaking in, I think it’s time to change things up and go for broke.

                We’ve hung with some good teams. We’ve gotten blown out by others. But one thing is for sure, anything is possible.

                We’re all starting over and 0-0.

                Seems fitting we could be the 1st 7 seed to win the SuperBowl. Starting as the 7 seed, 7 finishes his career by bring home #7.

                seems like poetic justice to me.

                We just need to start games like we’re in the 4th Q and behind.

                There can only be one. Why not us?

                  Anyone else excited that we have a young team that’s gonna get some playoff experience.

                  Im more excited we’re gonna be getting that Lombardi.

                    Certainly nothing to lose here.. playing with house money.
                    I'd just like to see them come out fast and put some pressure on the Chiefs.
                    Its doable..

                      Was thinking the same thing last night. This is great experience for one of the youngest teams in the NFL to get their feet wet in a playoff game. Learn what it took to get there, how much harder it is in the playoffs, and hopefully have some success. Great player building experience vs say the Browns/Ravens sitting at home watching 'what could have been'.

                        Absolutely. Playoff experience is invaluable. It will be interesting for them to be back in KC against an experienced team. The idea that if you thought last time had an electric atmosphere, get a load of playoff football excitement.

                          It’s official. No one is giving us a chance. 0. Nada.

                          Please overlook us. Look past us. Focus on the good teams.

                          And while no ones paying attention, we can go get the hardware.

                          Let’s load up the case.

                          Make room for 7.

                            Floppy’s path to the SuperBowl.

                            Steelers beat KC
                            Steelers beat TN
                            Steelers beat Cincy
                            Steelers beat Tampa Bay

                            From the longest of long shots to winning #7.

                            That’s how I see it playing out.

                            Nobody fears us. Nobody expects us. We’re gonna string together some flukes.

                              Can we beat Green Bay instead?

                              I like the idea of getting revenge on Brady...but he's owned us so much over his career.

                              I have less fear of the rematch of Ben and Rodgers. Especially since we should have beaten them already this year. Offside my a$$.

                                I was figuring Rodgers would have COVID for the SuperBowl. And I think Ben vs Brady is a good old guy vs older guy SB.
