    So what does everyone want, what path do we want our Steelers to go thru? Now before you say I don't care I want to beat the best to get there, that's fine I don't feel that way I just want to get there. I don't care if we have to play the Cheats or not as long as we get a chance at #7 that is all I care about.

    With that said I want the Fish to stay at #6, KC to stay at 5 and the Raiders to stay at 2. I want a rematch on our field with the Dolphins. I then want to go to face the Carrless Raiders while KC and the Cheats battle it out. After that I don't care KC/Cheats bring it on!!!! Here is the run down....

    well if it goes the way you want
    i would rather KC beat New England handing us the home field in the AFCCG

    let's just hop Tomlin doesn't pull a Cowher if that should happen

    i want revenge on Miami
    going out west would be a tough one no matter Carr or not but i like that matchup

    I would rather play KC ...Miami has more O and a lot better balance...We have more problems with Teams that can run and pass...KC has a good Team , but if we can get up on them I think we can hold them off better ...If Miami gets up on us I think they could hold us off better than KC could....

    The bottom line to me is more Offensive chances against KC less against Miami because of their running game...

    Maybe it is just me I feel our D has really stepped it up and I feel we can (to quote Negan) Shut that **** down!!!!!!! Then that means a rusty Tannyhill would have to beat us and I am not sure a healthy Tanndybum can do that.......

    I am worried a little about the speed KC has on both O and D, but I have no problem with them coming into the Burgh.

    Not sure how tomlin is handling so many wins in a row. You think he gets up everyday, looks in the mirror, hits his chest and whispers "you da man"

    Yep. By far this is the best-case scenario.

    But I fear the Chiefs and Raiders will not cooperate.

    I agree that this path gives us the most likely path to the Super Bowl.

    One potential path that's not getting much talk could be going to New England in the divisional round. If Miami and Oakland win today, New England becomes the #2 seed. If KC also loses, we could end up having to host KC and then travel to New England if we beat KC.

    Each team has their strengths, KC's def. line and Miami's run game. I would rather face Miami just because we would be trying to avenge that loss on top of trying to win the playoff game. Opposite scenario for KC. Not that the players need that motivation, but its a superstition thing for me lol.

    With what this team has shown in the last 2 months I am more worried about KC then the Cheats. I feel we can pressure Marsha and Smith is a little more mobile. Add in the speed of KC and the lack of Gronk that is why I feel this way.

    Unless Butler comes up with the gameplan of his life, I don't see the Steelers beating the Pats. Ben has been a turnover machine--and that will get the Steelers killed.

    Miami. Their backup is horrible, we can stop the run and let him implode.

    I can't imagine us beating the Pats in Foxboro. Unless Brady were to go down. IMO our only shot is if KC were to knock out the Pats and have to go to Pittsburgh for the championship game.

    I know everyone is worried about Ajayi shredding our d but Suh is who worries me the most because of his dirtiness.

    We certainly can beat them in foxbrough. No Gronk is a big deal. We hung tough with Landry earlier in the year. KC coming to Pitt would be nice, but we already roasted them earlier his year and I think they're too good of a team to get roasted again. We can take Brady and Co.

    I almost feel bad for Oakland. They have a better shot at beating the Texans than hosting the next week. I would love to see them go to NE and pull out a redemption win.
