Um, weren't you just cursing out Tomlin, Colbert, and Rooney in the game thread?

Let’s be honest…if they somehow manage to get past KC, is there any other team in the AFC field that really scares you?

With no disrespect to Sunday's opponent, you're right, I think the Bungs with Mixon and their passing game might worry me more than the Chefs do.

I personally would be highly amused if it wound up schizophrenic dysfunctional Raiders vs. schizophrenic, dysfunctional Steelers in the AFCCG nobody could have predicted... not sure that's possible, though.
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...

That is what I am hoping for. Collingsworth wants a story so let's hope he gets the best story out there. Legendary QB retiring and legendary coach that passed away.
NHALS secured. Check.
In the playoffs. Check

How's that worked out for Clev, Cincy and the Ravens for them against us over the years? :)

So I had to do a search. Since 1950 it has happened 17 times in the league. (I don’t know how many opportunities)
The Steelers have pulled it off three times, twice over the Browns (94, 02) and once over the Ravens (08). They’ve never been on the wrong side of it.

So, in this scenario, we'd go full Back To the Future and finish up with a Steelers-Cowboys Super Bowl?

Ok can you do a search of how many teams have lost 2x in the RS and then in the playoff game lost? :)

Steelers-Rams has a nice, late-70s vibe to it, as well.

I thought you said 17 times a team has beaten an opponent 3x in a season?

My scenario is where a team has won the 1st 2 meeting, but then lost in the playoffs to that same team.

Ah, my bad.

So this is getting confusing, different sites giving different results.
This one suggests that since 82, the sweep happens 67% of the time.
2017 Saints Panthers Win
2009 Cowboys Eagles Win
2008 Steelers Ravens Win
2007 Cowboys Giants Lose
2004 Packers Vikings Lose
2004 Rams Seahawks Win
2002 Steelers Browns Win
2000 Giants Eagles Win
1999 Titans Jaguars Win
1998 Cowboys Cardinals Lose
1997 Packers Buccaneeers Win
1997 Patriots Dolphins Win
1994 Steelers Browns Win

During the little sleep I actually got last night, I had a dream: we signed AB; Ben and he practiced their old ESP plays all week; he and Ben went on a tear throughout the playoffs that culminated in a Steelers' 7th SB win against the Bucs -- while AB got his revenge against that organization and Ben got his against Brady.

I woke up feeling conflicted -- kind of happy, but sort of dirty...

The mind is bewildering. :?

I don't see how the Steelers don't get curb stomped again.

And even when it happens, I'm so happy that Ben was given another chance to make a miracle, I don't really care.
