We want home against Rats or on the road against the Lucks?

[86n96]

Luck all day.

The last thing I wanted was for the Rats to make the playoffs.

Let Rats take out the Bungles in the WC round....then lose in Denver.

The Rats are a filthy team and a dangerous one for us because of familiararity.

I want not part of them in the WC round.

Actually if it is Ravens/Bengals and Ravens win they would be the 6 and go to NE.

My mistake. Thank you.

Well that's even better.

Fuck the division, rest some key players, and gear up for the one dimensional Indy Colts.

you want the home game no matter the opponent.

if we fear anyone, we don't deserve to be where we are. fuck the ravens, fuck the bengals. let's take our division back and get a home game.

I usually subscribe to .....Doesn't Hurt To Ask....but what the FUCK....can't believe this question is being asked.

Divsion winner vs wild card

Home game vs away game

3 seed vs 5 seed

Wtf

Except when the #6 seed is a hated divisional opponent, who are a filthy, cheap shotting, douchebag coached team.

So fucking what.

This is trying too hard to be smart...

In the playoffs, take anyone at home over anyone on the road. Shit, you owe that to the fans.

There's no gimmees in the NFL, especially in the playoffs. If you can't beat a WC at home then you're just not a contender.

This...

Stillchest is a troll or one DMF.

You play to treat your fans to a home game. The Ravens are not more physical than us.

[jeemie]

Not only that, but getting the #3 seed increases your odds of hosting the AFCCG.

[rooneytunes]

Man. I was just thinking out loud. Everyone so sensitive. I guarantee there are many Steeler fans who asked them question.

I recommend you get someone to slap you in the face.

[Legacy User]

3 seed and the rats no questions asked.

<<Except when the #6 seed is a hated divisional opponent, who are a filthy, cheap shotting, douchebag coached team.>>

That's even one more reason to want to pimp slap them into oblivion..

Rumor has it that the Steelers are afraid of the Ravens.

[jeemie]

Fixed that for you.

No, that's untrue.

Again, just think Indy is a better match up for us.

[jeemie]

BTW, the Steelers have never lost to a division opponent in the postseason.

1978 Houston
1979 Houston
1989 Houston
1994 Cleveland
2001 Baltimore
2002 Cleveland
2005 Cincinnati
2008 Baltimore
2010 Baltimore

That's 9-0, folks!!

[Legacy User]

If you're more afraid of "James" Flacco than Luck this season you are not paying attention, especially to the second half of the season...

[Legacy User]

Let me give you youngsters here a clue. As Herb would say - "You play to win the Game. Hello!"

[Legacy User]

Easier to win a rubber game out of three than sweep a team.

I think Indy is ready for us if it's a rematch. And they're at home, in that noisy barn.

Gotta win tonight.

Statistical probability says, at some point that streak should end.

Neither one has been very good most of the past 6 weeks.

mean reversion, not probability

I wonder how many of those were home games, though?

No it doesn't.

"Division opponents" is a totally arbitrary designation.

7 of them...the only two road games were Houston in 1989 and Cincinnati in 2005.

Not really. It falls in the subset of teams that we already played twice during the season.

[Stillchest]

I was hoping, Jeemie would put input the data into his super computer, for a more definitive answer.

[rooneytunes]

If we tie tonight we play Cincy next week. At Cincy.

Didn't mean to upset anyone with this. Should gave worded it better as in who do we match up better against.

I am hoping for the division. Especially if I want to go next week

Actually, I think that's half right.

PIT wins division at 10-5-1. IND is #3 seed at 11-5. CIN the #5 seed at 10-5-1 would come to PIT.
