    Why?

    Because they get Steelers at KC and Raiders at Cincy next weekend. Possibly the games with the 2 greatest spreads (Eagles at TB might be up there too).

    Had there been a tie, they get Pats at Cincy and Raiders at KC.

    Raiders at KC wouldn't have been much different, but Pats at Cincy probably one they'd like to have.

    Good - I'd love to see Cowher beat the snot out of Collingsworth (and his kid too).

    They are not upset at all. If anything, the viewership for this game via the Nielsen Ratings is likely going to be quite big.

    It's NFL playoff football. I don't think anyone is worrying about ratings. And don't big point spreads guarantee certain people will keep watching?

    hmm i can see both sides. big story with ben. if i had to guess i think pit game would carry enough viewers to carry the raiders/bengals.

    edit: totally didn't make sense the first time i wrote it. still in lala land after the day today.

    I think eagles will keep it close.
    Hope not though.

    Who would have honestly thought this...??? Oh surely not me. One of Pittsburgh's oldest rivals assisting the team to the playoffs?



    "Anything Can Happen" qualifies here.

    :hmm:


    No one is worried about the ratings? Disagree here. Ratings drive Channels.



    Have to have that high level of self preservation in order to continually maintain relevancy.

    Yeah, but it's NFL playoffs (they kind of sell themselves) with 2 of the most devoted fan bases in the NFL. I'm sure NBC is content with the game.

    Are you talking about the Playoff Game or the LV vs. LA Chargers Game? I was referring to the latter. The former is self explanatory.

    Yeah. The playoff game. I thought that's what the whole thread was about?

    Steelers Chiefs will have great ratings. I’m calling it. Ben will lead a 4th quarter comeback to knock off the Chiefs.

    Why do you think Ben won't be playing the following week, after upsetting the Chiefs on Sunday?

    Collinsworth was insufferable rooting for that tie in the last 2 minutes of the game. I wanted to literally reach through my TV screen and strangle his skinny ass neck.

    Someday, he and Romo may broadcast a Steelers game together. Both of them will need extra storage space for their opposing teams pom pom colors.
