    I can't wait to see the NFL Network tomorrow. They have had a running joke the last 4 or 5 weeks about the Steelers resembling a Zombie that doesn't know that it is dead yet. They say you think that the Steelers were eliminated weeks ago but there they are in the still in the hunt category. If there is no tie tonight they will be beside themselves that the Steelers actually made the playoffs.

    I know some won’t agree, but I believe if you’ve negative and doom and gloom all season then you should get to participate in the celebration.

    I said even if they win, they are not going anywhere in the playoffs with that offense. So technically, I don't have to eat it yet, but will chow it down next week gladly if I am wrong.

    So, I take it you weren't one of the winning tickets sold a few days ago? Shame.

    No. Or I'd be making plans for a board Superbowl trip if the Steelers got in. ;)

    In football as in life everyday is a gift. As long as one flame remains in the grotto there is a chance.

    I disagree. If we get in we are playoff caliber. Good thing they let an extra team in. Many started the season doubting we would beat the bills if I remember correctly. We swept the browns and ravens this year. Many had them in the SB. They ain't even in the playoffs largely because of us. It don't have to be pretty, just effective. :smiley1::cool:

    I'll eat my crow, but playoffs or no playoffs - I'm still not sure this is a good team and they've squeezed all the juice from this piece of fruit.

    They're 11th worst in point differential in the NFL, with a chance to drop below the Raiders tonight.

    Like the final scene in the Bad News Bears - "don't think they're that good, but got some guts"

    If you make the playoffs you are by definition a playoff caliber team.

    If we get in I can’t argue

    This offence is a hard watch at times however.

    Yes by definition. This is a very limited football team however, and I dont think anybody will fear the Steelers from here

    We are in bonus territory so I am going to enjoy the extra game without too much expectation of progressing further

    Yeah our chances don’t look good based on what we’ve seen this season. Butt these we don’t deserve to be in the playoffs posts are factually incorrect.

    Besides the Chiefs we could beat any other AFC team in Playoffs.

    Yes Bengals swept us, but I'm not betting against Steelers in that one.

    I never said we didn’t deserve to be in the playoffs, the Colts don’t deserve it based on that embarrassment today, the Ravens don’t either because we swept them, we are kind of backing in but we had a tough schedule and the record doesn’t lie.

    I just dont think this is a particularly good team and I have no trust whatsoever in this offence to get points when they need them against good teams, and it’s all good teams from here

    Well this makes no sense whatsoever

    A good team maybe not. But every team in the playoffs is a playoff caliber team. Or are you using a Gaelic dictionary?

    Like Yogi Berra said, "It ain`t over till it`s over." So true for us this year.

    Yeah let me retract that as I already kind of have above

    I dont think we have much chance of advancing past next weekend all the same
