Now if the Steelers beat Buffalo would they be 5th?

[Texas Black & Gold]

Wow. Both would be 9-5. What a season. Getting the 5th seed means they could possibly host a playoff game.

[drmalba]

This is the week we prove if we're a lucky to good team, or one that could potentially cause some serious problems for a few teams in January.

[Professor Half Wit]

Buffalo is 9-4
Arizona is 3-9-1

think about that before dreaming of a win.

ok now were done with that yes you know we would be 5th, and its possible because its a home game. But they have to SHUT DOWN josh allens legs this coming week.

And Buffalo's defense is legit. Our defense is so frickin' good, I'm not nearly as concerned about containing the Bill's offense as I am our offense doing anything. I don't know how in the world conservo-attrition football is going to net more than 3 figgies against Buffalo's D.

A team needs to win their division to host a playoff game. Of the 4 division winners, the 2 with the best records get byes and the others get home games during wild card weekend. This is why the 12-4 Steelers had to go to the 8-8 West division champions Broncos in 2012. No chance for a home playoff game.

The 5th seed hosts the conference championship game if the top four seeds of the conference are eliminated in the first two rounds of the division. I don't think that has ever happened before, but it is possible.

[Texas Black & Gold]

The Steelers will be playing another team that is coming off a loss. I hope they get JuJu or Connor back to help the offense. Or come up with plays that are fresh and creative to keep the Bills guessing.

Good one

[bradshaw2ben]

Calling my shot:

Steelers are winning the next two weeks and that will earn them a playoff spot. Good chance at the 5 seed.

They're playing a pretty good Buffalo team–one who still has a chance at the division title, especially with NE reeling. But it's Sunday night in Pittsburgh and under Tomlin: it would take a miracle for the Bills to win.

i like your optimism. I hope the Steelers come with some more trick plays and really keep the Bills guessing.

I just think it's the Carolina game of last year all over again. Defense is going to be balls out.

[955876]

We are going to smoke the Bills next week.

And then lose to the Jets...

I kid.

Sort of.

[rooneytunes]

How would everyone feel about Steelers at Titans? Wild Card Weekend.

I mean if this getting in the playoffs thing during this crazy ass year is gonna happen we need to start having "Who would you rather play" conversations

At Texans
At Chiefs
At Titans
At Patriots

[jeemie]

Not that it will happen, but if the Steelers win out and the Ravens lose out, the Steelers would win the AFC North.

WOW! Some major bad luck would need to happen against the Rats for them to drop 3 in a row.

[El Kabong]

Get out your voodoo dolls.

(I'm not eating pubic hair, though.)

[jmacinwbp]

Maybe since he sat this week and should be fresh for next week @balt, Lev Bell has a Steeler flashback and runs for a buck twenty, catches 11 passes, and scores three TD's for an unexpected road win; then Baker and the crew still marginally in the PO hunt pull the upset @ the stainshole & sweep the ratbirds.

Yeah and tommorow gold will plop outta my ass during my morning dump. Ever since Juju fumbled away what should've been our overtime win against them I've been seeing ratbird losses all over the schedule in the last month or so and kept holding out hope for a divisional crown, none of them have happened.

[Texas Black & Gold]

If that would work and depending on who's pubic hair it was, I'd consider it.

I think it was supposed to be your own, so have at it.

You mean...like going from 7-2-1 to 9-6-1 over the last six games?

This is the greatest concern to me as well. The fact that no matter what they've tried to do they've only accomplished bottom 5 effectiveness throughout this season. The offense is the achilles of this team. Even ST's managed a TD yesterday. This will be a true test of this offense.

At Texans. Please. I'll have 4 tickets.

[fritzthecat]

Did I just hear on the radio Ben may play in the Buffalo game?

[Thrillsseeker]

We are going to lose against Buffalo.

Get a Win against the JETS and the Ravens will prob play just to spoil our party.

[Kodiak]

Could be our #2 QB as a lefty

[955876]

You mean...like going from 7-2-1 to 9-6-1 over the last six games?

And wasn’t a result of bad luck but a string of dumb coaching decisions.

Oakland.

Saints.

[Steelperch]

I am rooting for a trip to Foxboro in the Wild Card round.

This is the best Steelers defense designed for stopping Brady he’s ever had to face.
Pats offense is a mess.
Brady looks old.
Even if we lose, we put a bunch of hits on him.
If we beat them on the road with Duck at QB... LOL, how great would that be!

And continuing to trot-out an injured kicker.

Good point. Might be our last chance to see Brady get smacked around.

For selfish reasons I would like them to play Houston. I am just a 2-3 hour drive away to go see them play.
Then go to Baltimore and kick some butt there.
Go to the Cheaters house and smack Brady around a bit.
And finally go to the SB and beat the Cowgirls again. (if the Cowgirls don't make it then the Cheeseheads for revenge)

I was thinking the same thing.
