Playoff wildcard week Sunday Games

I have no vision of the Steelers playing anyone else past Monday night. None of these teams winning or losing matter if they don't take care of buisness at home.


If I had to choose, I'd go with the Steelers playing at home again, but I wouldn't be upset if they came down to my neck of the woods and played the jags.

I still remember the Blake Bortles game and want payback. Bumping off the pats**** would be sublime.


It's all a very pleasant fanatical dream. The probability of a spectacular crash and burn is very high.

Don't we want the Jags to win and the Chargers??? That way we're not the lowest seed, who would then play Denver...

If we won and:
- the jags and chargers win, we play the jags in jagoffland

- If the bills and Chargers win, we play the Bills here in Pittsburgh,

-if the Pats and Bills won, we play the Pats in NE

--If the Pats and the Jags won, we play Denver in Mile high



On a side note...
if the Steelers lose to the Texans, it will be their first ever playoff loss to a Houston based NFL team.

Under Mike tomlin, the Steelers have never played tge texans in the playoffs
They are
1-0 vs the Chargers
0-1 vs the Pats
0-2 vs the Jags
0-2 vs Denver

If, by chance, Tomlin won vs the Texans, then lost to the Jags, then opted to leave the team, his first and last playoff games would both be losses to the Jags

New Englands schedule was really soft... both tgey and Denver rocked a sub .380 SOV... basically the average team they beat had around 6 wins..

Got curious and looked for that SOV stat, Steelers have the highest of the AFC playoffs with. 453

New England still managed to beat good teams at an acceptable rate. Ditto Denver.

I also believe Texans haven’t won a road playoff game ever. 0 and 6.

So that would be an additional futility if the Steelers became their first road victory. (Texans are favored)

New england beat:
The Joe Flacco Bengals (whose only victory was us)
The Ravens in a game Lamar only played a half
The Bucs after their offensive injuries gutted them ( they went 2-7 down the stretch
The Falcons during their injury issues where they went 1-7
Miami Twice
The Jets Twice
The Giants
The titans
new orleans

The panthers, who ultimately was a playoff team with a losing record and inconsistent as ****, During their 1-3 start
And they split with the Bills, which was their only win vs a team with a winning record...

It isnt just that they didnt really have wins vs good teams, its that the mid teams they beat were all in the midst of giant losing stretches when they faced them...
 
Josh Allen will have to go into superhero mode for the Bills to make a run. They also cannot forget James Cook is on the roster. Trevor Lawrence has played better this season, but do we trust him not to make the critical mistake?

The Chargers always seem to implode in the playoffs and have faced a bunch of injuries this year. New England, IMO, looks like the best team in the AFC. Drake Maye can solidify himself as an elite QB already with a strong playoff run.

Eagles-49ers is an NFC Championship-caliber matchup. The Eagles have the championship pedigree, it just hasn't been clean this season. Shanahan always has the 49ers making a deep run when healthy. I hope this game lives up to the hype because it should be excellent.
 
I don't know why but this thread reminded me of the chargers/ steelers afc championship from maybe 1994?

Man that game hurt. We were the much better team.

They should have beat the Steelers. They can not help who is on their schedule as the Bills was still a good win. As was the Panthers they still made the playoffs and played the Rams extra well.. They went .500 against good teams you know like most teams that play today and better than the Steelers who play tomorrow .

I don’t care for the Pats but they had a solid season.

They are playing both Jax and Tampa next season on the road
Road trip for me will wait for schedule to be released to decide

After watching a CMT led team for 20 years I would never shame another team’s record for BEATING the teams they are supposed to beat. I don’t know about you,but I’d say that would rather be hypocritical. 🍻
 
I would rather play the Jags than Buffalo. I would rather play any team left than Buffalo. Other teams play Buffalo tough, but we have been destroyed by them. It's kinda like hoping other teams would knock NE out for us in the past. Jax has been playing well lately and will not be an easy out for anyone
