    It's time to start our revenge tour against New England.

    We'll either play the Jaguars, Chiefs, or Titans. The Bills would obviously play NE if they beat the Jaguars.

    Now, our toughest opponent before NE would be Jacksonville. We have to get through their defense, but I think that if we play them again, then the game will be closer.

    Overall, how do you like our chances this postseason? I mean, we played better against New England and almost beat them without Shazier.

    We almost beat the Pats without shazier and ab. Depending on the replay, we did beat them. There will be shenanigans in ne. They will cheat. It's in their dna and the last opportunity for another ring. They will pull out all stops. If the Steelers avoid mistakes, then I like our chances. One mistake we possibly win. Two mistakes, we will lose.

    Not afraid of the cheats. We beat them but didn't beat the zebras.
    Don't discount KC going to cheatland and knocking them off.
    The Bills are not going to beat the Jags.
    Ben gets his wish and dominates the Jags.
    Super Bowl or Bust! Either through cheatland or at home vs the Chiefs

    As a STEELER fan I look forward to the AFC playoffs but I think it could be a snooze fest compared to the NFC this year. I hate to agree with all the talking heads but most feel as I do the AFC will be a repeat of last years AFCCG with same result. While the NFC is wide open since Wentz went down. I'm picking Minn. but think all have a shot.

    IDK maybe it is just me but I have a great feeling this year. I feel like we are struggling on D a bit but still have the play makers to take over a game. I also feel like when our O is on it can't be stopped. It has been a very long time since I felt this way and I am so ready for this "Revenge Tour Run"! I want the Jags in the worst way and I would love to see Ben light that D up for 500yds and 5 td's! I then want to play the Cheats who for the first time I feel we are the better team.

    I am excited about this years playoff run and as long as Ben is healthy I feel we can't be beat. Of course nothing against AB - Bell - Juju - MB - Boz and the oline but it starts with Ben being Ben! I have a feeling we are going to see a battle of the Black and Gold super bowl.......Steelers vs Saints!!!!!

    I personally think that the Chiefs are a more difficult divisional round matchup for us than the Jags. I want AB at 100% before we play a team that can put points on the board.

    I agree and while we have had KC's number sooner or later that will run out, kinda feel the same way with the Cheats having our number. I would rather worry about the Jags running game knowing Bortles can't beat us than worry about Kelce, Hunt and Hill......

    I posted a couple of months ago that the Steelers would win the Super Bowl this year if they could avoid any serious injuries and bet it accordingly. The injury to Brown almost screwed that up but it looks like we will survive that one. It should be number 7 for the Steelers.

    I'd say Shazier is a serious injury. Regardless who we play they will score on us. I just hope the offense can live up to the hype. If Ben is on I like our chances, they can double up on Brown but JuJu with that young man's swagger will eat them up.

    Right, I forgot his injury. I guess the defensive side to me is not as important as the offensive side. I think we need to outscore everyone even in a shootout to win it all, I think Ben will shine for three games and lead us to number 7. The offense needs to carry us through with 25 to 30 points and more per game if necessary.

    The question now is, who has the better shot to beat New England, Titans or Bills?

    This will sound nuts, but I think the Bills have a better shot at NE.

    What do you want to bet there’s problems with the opposing teams headsets again. Once a cheater, ALWAYS a cheater.

    The way Henry was grinding out the yards I'd love to see that versus the Pats.

    Jets of '10 and Ravens are the only teams worth a squat vs. Patriots in divisional round. Broncos pwn them in AFC Championships.

    Patriots usually get it easy in the divisional round... which ends up with Super Bowl berth.

    Why are you obsessed with Cowboys? LOLOLOL

    Cowboys are a train-wreck... almost as bad as the Browns and Bengals. Almost.

    I agree. Plus I’d think the Bills would want a little revenge tour of their own. I mean Buffalo was literally pick-pocketed a TD by the refs in their last matchup against NE. That singular call changed the entire complexion of that game.

    Now it’s fair to say that Buffalo probably would have still lost - yet we’ll never know for sure. I just felt that the final score of that game wasn’t indicative of how well Buffalo competed.

    True but if it's the Bills then we can hope for the defense to pound on Brady if it's Titans just have that run game pound it and pound it on their defense. The hope of winning is slim but wearing them down, that we can hope for.
