    Should be Pittsburgh if it comes to that, but Pittsburgh will be playing in it so it doesn't matter!:herewego!:

    I have an issue with the 'Neutral Site' proposal.
    The Bills beat KC. That's my sticking point.
    So, as long as both teams win this weekend, the road to the Super Bowl goes through Buffalo.

    But that is just my vote.
    What will happen will happen.

    There are so many variables here but from what I understand (which may be incorrect anyways) is that if and only IF the Bills or Bengals are in the AFCCG it will be played at a neutral site. If that's the case then I think the neutral sites could probably be:

    Bills Vs. Bengals - Pittsburgh Heinz (Acripuke) Stadium or Cleveland or Detroit.
    Bills Vs. KC - Lucas Oil Field Indy (preferably), Detroit Ford Field (Yuk- Happens too often) or Cleveland-Both teams play outdoors anyways.
    Cincy Vs KC - Nashville
    Pittsburgh Vs. Cincy - Cleveland
    Pittsburgh Vs. Buffalo - NYC or Philthy

    These make the most logistical sense to me.

    I could also see them making it Las Vega$ just for entertainment reasons.

    Of course Pit still has to make it and this is not all the scenarios with other teams still in play.

    JMHO.

    An interesting thought if they do add an 8th team. 1 and 2 both get a bye. 2-8


    They will use a neutral site if it's one of the bills, bengals, chiefs playing against each other. If it's any other team playing against one of these 3, regular homefields will be used

    I don't think any team would get a bye if they go to eight teams.

    let's go with 16 Teams in each conference - then we ALL can win Trophies!!!

    Enough is enough or you just relegate the regular season meaningless...

    I don't think they are talking about it as a long-term option, just one to address any unfairness possibly created by the cancellation that one game. I don't see it as necessary, but I wouldn't complain if they gave the Steelers a better shot of making it.

    Bills have motivation to win this week
    Miami has major questions at QB this week


    This are moving in the Steelers favor to sneak in the playoffs. If would be a sneak but not a limp.

    correct - we are not back-dooring in, like the SUCK Ravens....
    we are playing better

    FAR from great, taking 4Q heroics to a new level, but playing better, and winning.....which is better - than - losing!!!!!

    Bad news. The Jets just announced that Mike White will not play this Sunday against the Dolphins and are starting Joe Flacco.

    If the Steelers make the playoffs they didn't limp in, they backed in.

    He really is bad. He just doesn't have much left. At this point, he is a better option than Wilson, who has completely fallen apart, but not by much.

    (If)Flacco has only one game left in him, he's going to use it v Steelers.

    If the Steelers win on Sunday, they would be 7-2 since the bye and on a 5 game winning streak. That is hardly limping anywhere

    I wouldn't say limbed in (which means coming in injured) or backed in (getting in despite a cold spell) , more like snuck in (getting in despite long odds).

    I always considered backing in the playoffs meaning getting help from other teams, not controlling your own destiny.

    Flacco has a better record against the Steelers than Lamar. Hell Lamars backup Qbs have as good a record against us as He does. LoL.
    Flacco is the only Qb the Jets have played with this year that has more TDs than ints.
    Z. Wilson 6 tds, and 7 ints
    M. White 3 tds, and 4 ints.
    J. Flacco 5 tds, and 3 ints.
    So I don't know how He has sucked:shrug:

    However, no Tua. Some rookie QB named Thompson.
