It can be the chiefs or Texans but this is very unlikely....If the Steelers lose next week, it'll be the Colts on the road....If they win it will be the chargers if they win against the chiefs or the Ravens if they win against the browns and the chargers lose


Which scenario do you prefer?

I don't know, Chargers and Ravens are playing better than the Colts, but I don't like the idea of having to go to a slumping Indianapolis team after the Steelers laid a whooping on them in Pittsburgh earlier in the year. I think I would prefer the Ravens since the Steelers own a historical unbeaten streak against the rest of the division in the playoffs, Big Ben owns Average Joe in the playoffs, and I would love to see crybaby John lose to the black n gold in the playoffs

I would love to play baltimore in theory but that is a major risk I believe to this young defense. I prefer to see San Diago out of any of them.

fuck that shit. dont kid yourselves on the colts folks. they're still as dangerous as anybody. dont take one game too seriously. remember that we got beat by the bucs, jets, saints, and browns....3 of those we got HANDLED. And on the road? Dont even get me started.

andrew luck is the prototypical qb that can come back and win no matter how many points were up by.

And the ravens hate our guts way too much and that game will be too physical. we'll come out battered no matter the outcome.

I think with Mclendon healthy and Tuitt finally cemented as a starter we can keep their running game at bay really easily (29th in the NFL). And that means pinning our ears back and beating up Phillip Rivers all game with blitzes. Rivers is dealing with a bulging disc and might need offseason surgery. Im not saying injure the guy, but i think some nasty hits on him will make him hear foot steps and force him into quick decisions, neutralizing their deep ball.

Not sure if theres such thing as a match made in heaven in the playoffs, but i think this is as close as it gets. Give me the chargers at home if possible.

I just say that if the Steelers lose, they play against the Colts!


But, yes, the Colts are the weakest team of the 3 teams....For the past month, they are not very good and it includes Luck...I don't care if this game is on the road

i respectfully disagree. the kid is too tough and smart to let that continue imo. kid got absolutely destroyed with qb hits and hurries his rookie year and still played well. Luck received the most QB hits of anybody in the NFL last season. And he's still getting beat up pretty badly this season and still playing at a generally high level with no run game and a dramatically declining defense. He's exactly the kind of QB that can still kill our secondary even if he's getting abused. Rivers is a much better match up

I agree with this 100%. I want the division and I want the Ravens watching the game from home, stewing in their own miserable failure when they had the easiest home stretch to the playoffs. That means bring on the Chargers! And if we can't beat a banged up Chargers team at home then we have no business going any further in the playoffs just to get embarrassed on the road at Denver or New England.

I have a great respect for Luck....But not for the rest of the team...Like you said,the colts have no defense and no run game

The chargers are a much better team with a very good QB too

Yeah, what can also be mentioned is that Steelers won mainly due to a once in a lifetime perform by Roethlisberger after the defense got carved up by Luck. Don't bank on Ben having this same performance again (especially against the same team) and the pass defense will probably still get eaten alive by Luck (do note that while the front 7 sacked Smith 6 times the pass defense still surrendered over 300 yards passing against a Chiefs team whose best pass catcher may be Jamal Charles).

yup. ben's not going to play like that against the colts again. and his play also made our defense's job a lot easier. Luck still had a great game, and honestly had no business being able to stand let alone have a good game with the amount of hits he was taking. No one other than Aaron Rodgers and Ben could have possibly done what he did.

Luck is right up there in toughness with any player in the league.

Pretty much all season the Colts have been more hype than what they really are. Look at their schedule and any team worth anything beat them. Sure they beat up on the crappy teams...something the Steelers had trouble doing, but the good teams handed the Colts an L. Frauds.

You still want the 3 seed then regardless of opponent. Because if you win then you go to Denver rather than New England. Right now I would like the Steelers chances going to Denver. It would really cleanse the palate of the Tim Tebow fiasco if you could go out there and beat a Peyton Manning led Bronco team.

I'd take the Chargers any day out of that group. They started the season on a roll but have been staggering around like a drunk for about the last 10 games of the season. It looks like that's who we're most likely to play in any case.

It's also pretty difficult to find a scenario in which the Ravens make it, which is a nice feeling.

That sums up my thoughts on the Colts. I don't like any game in which it's a virtual requirement that we score 35 points to even have a shot at winning. And since we've got such a fuckshit secondary, that means the Colts, Patriots, and the Broncos as long as Manning isn't busy choking to death (which is about 50-50 lately). If we play any of those teams, it's basically like we'll be spotting them two touchdowns. I'd rather things break our way to avoid that as much as possible.

I am in the minority here, but San Diego will be a tough game against the Steelers. They are 4-2 with their only 2 losses coming against New England coming off a loss (a near impossible win) and Denver with their kicker missing 2 field goals. Also in Rivers last 2 road games he led double digit comeback victories and won shoot-outs against Baltimore and San Fran (both defenses are top 10 in total defense, top 12 in scoring defense and, both defenses surrendered the 2nd highest point total and highest home point total against San Diego).

I'm switching back and forth between the Chargers and Ravens game (in 3rd right now) and neither one of those teams deserves to be in the playoffs. However, I stand by my position that I'd much, much, much rather play the Chargers than Ravens. The Ravens are having a bad game, but I think a win here would charge them up and send them barreling into the playoffs at full force, especially against a division rival. The Chargers on the other hand look beat up and broken. If they manage to come back due to luck and some Rivers magic, it will not come with a battle cry but with a whimpering sigh of relief. They will be spent and beat to hell, traveling across the country to get destroyed by whomever they face.

I really hope it's us they face, but I don't feel good about the Chargers winning this game. I guess I'll have to pray that the Ravens continue to play bad and lose to the Browns, but I doubt they'll lose. The ball always bounces the Ravens way at the end of games and they will luck their way into the playoffs.

I realize that if the Ravens and Chargers both lose we'll be playing a team that's better than either one of them, but I'd still rather the Ravens didn't make the playoffs. I'll take my chances at home (if we win the division, of course) against a better team. The Ravens play different against us, and they have been the scariest road playoff team in recent history, regardless of their talent.

The Chargers OC is either a total moron or there is something wrong with Rivers. We showed them how to beat the Chiefs. If the Chiefs can shut down our running game, they sure as hell can destroy the Chargers' run game, but at this point in the game Rivers has only attempted 9 passes (the last one on a 3rd and 20). Rivers on a good day could pick them apart, yet they are sticking with their pathetic ground game and their back up RB.

Rivers must be hurt or something. All the more reason I want to see them pull off some kind of miracle and come back against the Chiefs. Oh, and the Chargers D is getting picked apart by a backup QB. This can't be the Chargers team some of you don't want us to play.

The Chargers OC continues to be an idiot. Rather than try a 52 yard FG, that was the perfect time to attempt a fake and try to pass for a first down. An incomplete pass would give the Chiefs worse field position than a missed FG. Now the Chiefs have great field position. The Chargers need to start playing like this game matters. Because it really does for them.

If we beat the Rats that would be great. But I'd still rather have had the Ravens not make it at all and we beat the Chargers. I want turmoil in the Ravens organization and among their fan base. Plus what if we lose to the Ravens? Won't you be thinking "I could maybe handle losing to any team but this lucky as bunch who backed their way in and get to rub our noses in it"? Plus playing the Ravens is always brutal. Even if we win the chances of us coming out with injuries are way higher than if we were to beat the Chargers.

I'm sure all the players and people in the organization would prefer a Home game. But facts are facts...Baltimore is a better team then the Colts right now. The Colts have no run offense. Their Home field is better for our offense to operate better then in the cold, sludgy field of Pittsburgh. The Colts Defense is reeling right now, and they might have lost key WR Reggie Wayne today. Yes, I agree that everyone will want that 3rd seed and a Home game in round 1. But the better Match-up for us is still the Colts.

Ravens troll pretending to be a Steelers fan. It's been done a million times before and a million times better...

Are you sure? Even though I disagree with him on this, it doesn't necessarily scream "troll."

If we beat the Rats that would be great. But I'd still rather have had the Ravens not make it at all and we beat the Chargers. I want turmoil in the Ravens organization and among their fan base. Plus what if we lose to the Ravens? Won't you be thinking "I could maybe handle losing to any team but this lucky as bunch who backed their way in and get to rub our noses in it"? Plus playing the Ravens is always brutal. Even if we win the chances of us coming out with injuries are way higher than if we were to beat the Chargers.

I'm not trying to claim there is a right or wrong point of view on this. Just the way I feel.

I am worried for you my friend. Playing the rats always brings out the best in Ben. I can understand not wanting to play a bunch of pansies who would stoop at nothing to put a cheap shot on our players just to get a win. They are a bunch of thugs and are lead by another whiny ass harbitch. Let's see what the football gods have in the cards. I hate the rats as much as any Steeler fan, but I don't fear them. I relish playing them and ending their season.

Dude, I might take my fear of playing the Ratbirds too far yes, but TRUST me, I AIN'T no Ratbird fan. I go back as a Die Hard Steeler faithful longer then probably you do, or that other guy. Over 50 years. Been to 4 Super Bowls of ours. Have met so many of our players it's not funny, and, I actually live less then 1/2 mile from one of them..( Former Steeler WR, Charles Johnson, formerly of Colorado, and our Home city San Bernardino, CA )...So no matter what that other guy says, I AM a Steeler fan. And no matter who we play next weekend, I will be a cheering them on. Whether it be against the Colts, or that Dog Sh!t Ratbird team...I will forever be Steelers " Black & Gold "!!

That was more " Tongue & Cheek " my friend then serious fear. You don't read " IRONY " very well. Maybe you should leave that to us Adults, okay ? My fear of Flacco per se is not Fear by him as much as it is our own coaching staff who I have seen many times after pounding on him through most of the game, all of a sudden stop coming with the constant earlier Pass pressure that was making Flacco look lost, only to come with 3 pass rushers, and play our DB's so far off the LOS that Flacco is just allowed to get into a passing Rhythm, and either come back to beat us, or at least make it a lot closer then it had to been. That is what I fear...not Flacco's skill as much as our past coaching stupidity when facing Flacco.

Okay, if you think I am a Baltimore fan, and you are such a Steeler fan, maybe you can answer this simple Steeler trivia fact ?? If the Steelers win tonight, what will they have done that NO other NFL team in the History of the league has ever done before ?.....I am waiting Steeler fan.

I appreciate your worry and it is probably well deserved. I go kind of nuts when the world maneuvers every which way to help that smug SOB, Harbaugh. I'm guessing his post game speech won't have an ounce of humility or "we were bailed out but we'll take it" kind of thing. It will be cocky and annoying and full of praise for his "awesome" team that barely scratched out a 4th quarter win AT HOME against a nobody QB off the street, and backed in because that POS bunch of retards from San Diego that call themselves an NFL football team couldn't beat a backup QB with EVERYTHING ON THE LINE.

Oh and that TD that the Chargers got - that was called a TD on the field - that was overturned, could have changed the game and CHANGED EVERYTHING from that point on. And the overturn was total BS. There was not enough evidence to overturn it, especially in an important game like this.

I know what you're thinking: If the Ravens suck as bad as I'm saying, why not be thrilled to play them? Because THEY ARE LUCKY AS HELL, a totally different team against us, a totally different team in the playoffs, they will do everything to injure our players, especially Ben, (so even a win might be a loss) and the thought there's EVEN A CHANCE that those a-holes will be celebrating on our field makes me want to fill their gatorade bucket with acid.

Other than that, I'm feeling okay about it. :)

Yes you are truly the adult here we all need to bow down to you because you have been for 4 Steeler Superbowls and have been a fan for 50 years. I am shocked that the front office hasn't hired you are such an authority on all things Steelers. My bad bro you are the almighty, the end all be all.

And you know what ? If we do play them next weekend, you know who will be the steelers biggest fans ?....The New England Patriots! I mean talk about a team that has always given the Pats fits in the playoffs, it's the Ravens. Yes they can beat Baltimore. But it always seems like a tough game.


Hell the BEST thing might be to lose to Cincy tonight. That way Baltimore can out Cincy next weekend. Play the Pats in round 2, and maybe knock them out. While we get the Struggling Colts in round 1, and then the also struggling Broncos in round 2, and then maybe WE can Host those Same Ratbirds in Pittsburgh for the AFC Championship game ??? I like that scenario a lot more then a 1st round Match-up with them.

Yeah I understand the whole thuggery thing, but I also like how when they try to hurt Ben he plays better. I also think that we are in their heads much more than the other way around.

I also can appreciate the unease you are feeling, but we aren't a push over either. Play the game and let the chips fall where they may.

As a Steeler fan just remember this. BELIEVE!!! This is how we roll!!!

I don't really want to get in the middle of this, but I'd say look at it this way, Butch: If he really is a Steelers fan then I'm sure you don't want to accuse him of being a troll. And if he really is a troll, isn't your ire exactly what he wants? I've never understood what trolls really get out of pretending to be something they are not but I assume it's to get under the skin of others or derail the thread or whatever.

So either way, isn't it better just to give him the benefit of the doubt?

Just my two cents though. Feel free to engage if you get something out of it. :)

I know I never said that. Of course we aren't. But I want us to play our game now. Which is NOT the Steelers game of Old ( Meaning a tough Physical style )..we are no longer that team. We are now more of a finesse team now. And I just don't wanna see our superior offensive talent be tricked into playing at the Ravens level...a Dirty level that slows down the tempo. That was the Old Steelers teams...not this one. But yes I suspect that players like Suggs and Ngata will be all over us with their Cheap Shots. And since that's what the league wants to see, they will allow it to go with no calls on them...like always. But no, I never said the steelers fear them.

I here ya, and I'm totally with you now. What choice do I have. ;)

I just dislike the Raven's coach so much that I'd rather see him eat crow and be forced to say "we have no one to blame but ourselves" and face an entire off season where Ravens fans start to question if he's really the right guy for them. Stuff like that. Now even if they lose to us in the playoffs he will hold his cocky head high and talk about being so proud of his team that faced tremendous odds on the road... yada, yada, yada. He won't be nearly as crushed all offseason by a playoff loss on the road as he would be by totally blowing it when they had the easiest final four games to the playoffs.

But it's not worth dwelling on now. Time to rev up my hate for the Bengals.

LOL well stated Hollywood and you may be right that he is not a troll, but he certainly comes across as one.

I still have no idea what the hell he was talking about when he stated 25 previous games nor has he even tried to explain it. I guess that is why I sense we have a troll. Also love that he is asserting himself as an authority on all things Steelers because of how many games he has been to and whom he lives near.

Also while we are on it. I tried to give him benefit of the doubt and allow him to explain himself. I figured maybe he was just over reacting or something, but he never did explain anything.

I am guilty of feeding the trolls I will admit it, but I appreciate your 2 cents on the matter.
