Who you want to win ? I know it will help us if the ratbirds lose, but sorry I hate the bungholes and always want them to lose. So, I have to say I want the ratbirds to annihilate the bungholes, and send them hurting. Living around the area I'm tired of the bungholes and their obnoxious fan's. I think the ratbirds will lose 2-3 of their remaining games and hopefully we will win the majority of our remaining games, so therefore we win the division on our own strength. GO STEELER's.

On the one hand, I would love to see the bengirls get buried and eliminated but on the other hand the ratturds need to lose as much as they can to help Pittsburgh. I'll take a pass on rooting especially since I detest both anyway

I think that it's pretty obvious/unanimous that a Ravens loss helps the Steelers (for the division race).

So... the question becomes:
For whom do you root: Chiefs or Broncos?

The wild card race is not over. Yes, those two teams have a two-game lead on the Steelers, but a) they still play each other twice, and b) they have a tough couple of games coming up.

Let's assume that the Chiefs lose both of those games. They'd drop back to a tie with the Steelers, and the Steelers hold the head-to-head tie-breaker over them. Plus, the Chiefs play the Raidahs and Falcons... which could be two more losses (9-7 and they lose the tie-breaker to Steelers).

Let's assume that the Broncos lose both of those games. They'd drop back to a tie with the Steelers (I have no clue about tie-breakers). Plus, the Broncos play the Raidahs and Taperiots... which could be two more losses (9-7).

Let's assume that the Broncos & Chiefs split both of those games. They'd drop back one game. With the Chiefs playing the Raidahs & Taperiots, and the Chiefs playing the Raidahs & Falcons, both the Chiefs and Broncos could easily end up with three more losses (10-6, 10-6)

SUMMATION:
Go Raidahs (we're not catching them in the seeding race; so they might as well win out).

Go Taperiots (again, we're not catching them in the seeding race; so, they can beat the Broncos... and the Ravens).

Go Broncos (the Chiefs losing both games helps us the most... but, a split would still be pretty good. The Broncos losing two games "could" help, but it's the least "sure" route).



NOTE: The last-second (miracle) wins by the Broncos over the Saints, and the Chiefs over the Panthers really screwed the Steelers. As you can see, the wild card is not impossible, but if those two games had been losses, it would have made things a whole lot easier.

Good post.

I think you're right. We haven't seen the best this team can be yet.

I despise both of these teams, but I respect the Ravens more than the Bengals. With that said, it's all about what helps the Steelers more, and I believe that the Bengals winning this game would help the Steelers more....So....go Bengals??? :chuckle:

The Steelers just need to keep winning and everything else becomes irrelevant. I still believe they are the best team in the division, and they're getting better and hopefully...healthier.

Crap. I has hoping for a Bengals win. Goes towards saving Marvin Lewis' job. Anything that keeps the Bengals at their current status quo is good for the Steelers. God forbid they get a coaching and management team in place that actually knows what they are doing...

Ravens lose a few more and they panic and cut Harbaugh and Newsome loose and then circle the drain until Flacco's contract runs out.

Oh well. Both could still happen.

Tucker is money. Three over 50 in one game in an outdoor stadium is gold.

The Ravens are in first by way of a W over Pittsburgh (and 4-0 in the division). But they are not sitting pretty. They look good offensively in the first half and disappear in the second. If the defense wasn't playing decently they'd be 4-7.

With games looking against the Patriots and ending the season with away games in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati (with Miami and Philadelphia in the mix as well), it will be tough for them to stay atop the AFCN.

yeah no kidding. i keep waiting for Trevor Siemian to have a total meltdown, but he's just good enough to solidify the broncos as one of the wild card teams. and the chiefs may not be winning a superbowl in this lifetime with alex smith at quarterback, but theyre clearly the next most talented wildcard team which leaves all other options out.

i got a whole lot more worried about our playoff prospects after coming to the realization of who we would be contending with should we fail to win the divison

Yep, there's no way that the Steelers would ever be able to contend with the Chiefs. If they were to play one another, the Steelers would likely lose by a score of something like... I don't know... 43-14.

Sure do. It's why you can't really judge teams until late in the season. A team can have early injuries, or face tough road games early in the year that leave them with a losing record 4 or 5 games in. Miami's not great, but that game obviously doesn't belong on a list of horrible losses, neither does the game in Baltimore.

I hope that you are right, and the Dolphins return to being a horrendous team, by going 1-4 to end the season (beating the Ravens, but losing to everyone else)...

...that way the Dolphins drop from the "fifth seed" to "out of contention." That would be one less team vying for the Wild Card spots (which, despite all that has transpired, is still a possibility for the Steelers).

Also does that mean that the Ravens losing to them in Week 6 was a bad loss or a close game against a good team? Also need to know that - it will change the size of the shrine to Harbaugh I put up in hopes the Steelers finally get a real coach this offseason.

Yeah, I miss the days where the Steelers clinched the playoffs by week 15 or 16, where we rooted against the Ravens only to help the Steelers chances of winning the division instead of the wildcard, and all the mathematical equations centered around which teams needed to lose in order for the Steelers to clinch a playoff spot in week 14 or 15.

Keep it simple, stupid.

When Tomlin plays a team, that team is always a horrible, no good, very bad sub .500 team.

When Harbaugh plays a team, that team is always the top-rated Super Bowl contender.

Don't know if the Browns do because the rest of their team is not ready to compete, so why give up resources (players and/or picks) for an aging QB?

But I suspect the Cardinals, Jets, Texans, Broncos, and maybe the Bills would all have to seriously consider making a run at either Romo or Cutler this off-season. Certainly the Cardinals and Texans have to consider themselves a QB away from SB contention...

Romo would be a dangerous edition to the Cardinals, IMO. I can't see the Jets (Fitz, Smith, etc), Texans ( B.O.), Broncos (Siemian, Lynch), or Bills (Taylor, E.J.) trading away for Romo at this point. Of course the Broncos went for Manning, but that was Manning. I don't see the Cowboys keeping Romo, at his salary, as the backup. Maybe he does retire.

Actually... Romo would be far more dangerous with the Broncos. He's no Peyton Manning, but with that defense they could win a ton of games. I would even say that might be Romo's only shot to win a Lombardi.

Exactly. And a team which can go 8-4 with guys like Siemian and Lynch certainly can make a deep postseason run with a QB like Romo.

If you had your pick today, which of the 3 would you take for your team? Siemian, Lynch, Romo? To start a game right now, heading into the playoffs, I would think go with the experience. If truly ready to play and it's winner take all, go with Romo. Absolutely. Considering next season and the seasons following that, I would rather take one of the young guns. Probably Siemian since he won the starter role over Lynch. If I'm going purely based on prediction and upside, I would take Lynch, who is projected as a future star in the league. It's not a simple answer for all scenarios. A winning QB typically has a pretty good team around him.

That's not even a question. You take Romo 100% of the time. Saying Siemisn, Lynch, Prescott is more of a debate than putting Romo in there based on Prescott's inexperience with playoff football and lack of "big game" experience.

Peyton Manning has the most playoff losses of any QB in history and is known as a playoff choke artist.

He still won his second ring last year. And he played probably the worst football in career.

So...

The question is about today, right now. Would you choose the guy with the most experience for the playoff push? The current starter that lead the team this season? Or the prodigy waiting in the wings? Keep in mind, there will be a next season, so that choice effects the future as well. That is the question.
