    The winner of the Steelers-Texans will have a short turnaround week with a road trip if they win. It helped us after playing on Sunday night but playing on Monday night will hurt the winner going into next week's playoff game.

    ‘exactly right. We want Chargers win and then if we win against the Texans we have another home playoff game.

    I still think we have a better chance on the road vs New England than home against the Bills.. but either matchup will obviously be very difficult.

    Yes we have to hope someone else can beat Buffalo. We are not beating Josh Allen.

    Hopefully we can find the priest who sprinkled holy water on field last week for the win against Ravens.
    Something tells me we might need some more divine intervention.

    It's okay to be a running QB if you are first and foremost a great passer, which he is.

    Wait people actually think Josh Allen’s sucks because he is good at running?

    No Josh Allen is one of them that actually have both the passing and running down. Not saying he can't be beat, but there's a reason he's been one of the best in the league. He's got the cerebral, the physical, and the running ability. His arm will kill you more than his legs, but then he'll run for a 1st down.

    that did not happen.

    we needed the extra day after the Ravens win

    can Tomlin win in the playoffs again?

    I hope so, but still have my doubts.....

    a BIG IF

    Like Tomlin said,

    "IF my Aunt had balls, she would be my uncle."



    We will ALL KNOW in about 18 hours.....


    can this TRILLION DOLLAR defense play like it?

    Can it force 3+ TO's?

    that is what it will take.........where are you RAMSEY! WHERE ARE YOU?????
