My viewpoint is that the only team that is likely to stand in the way of the Steelers (as the past would show us) is the Patriots. If we don't want the Steelers to be running around trying to come up with a clever say to say they have 7 SB titles we NEED the Patriots to get the #1 seed and have the best shot at beating the Steelers in the AFC Championship game.
Both teams are 10-2, so the Steelers need to lose in order to make my dream of watching Steeler fans cry while I put on my Corey Dillon Patriots jersey a reality.

****.
That. Noise. We have to win out and have a dozen other things happen to get in, so we're not getting in. Hope when the game is over Baltimore has won and they're scraping Piggy off the turf. Go Pats.

My DNA will never allow me to root for those €%×+*

Hell, after they won in 2016 I saw some weak facebook smack from Steeler friends about how the Steelers' 6 is more than Brady's 5. I'd say they're pretty nervous, eh? Here's hoping.

Question for the OP. bfine, I can typically follow your logic on most things, but you're going to have to explain this one for me. Why should we be pulling for the Steelers? I mean, I put them in the same file as Univ. of Michigan, when it comes to my football rooting alliances. Every week I'm a fan of whomever plays the Steelers and also a fan of whomever is playing Michigan.

Screw rooting for Pittsburgh. Or New England. I'm rooting the departure of Marvin and ebenezer. Then I'll root for the Chargers or jags in the afc.

One of our only ways to sneak into the playoffs is for the Steelers to beat the Ravens this weekend

Every week I'm a fan of whomever plays the Steelers and also a fan of whomever is playing Michigan. If Baltimore beats Pittsburgh, they're 8-5 with Cleveland, Indy and us on deck. They could conceivably win out, and with TEN/JAX both on target for 10+ wins, there go our wildcard chances. So, there is a certain logic to wanting PIT to win, it would delay our WC elimination for at least one more week, if nothing else. Now, if it were week 16 and a Baltimore loss to PIT followed by loss to us would then give us the WC spot, then I could root for them. Problem is, we are so far from a WC spot right now it would take the light from a WC spot six years to reach us. So, **** the Steelers, in other words.

Besides, would you really want to see this weak and meager Bengals team face yet, another beat down in the playoffs? Sure, we can argue all day about how the team has gotten better as the season has progressed. However, going from dog crap to mediocre just isn't something that I'm all enthused about. I'm almost to the point where I wouldn't care if they lost out, and improved their draft position a few spots.

I'll never root for Pittsburgh and I believe that they're going to be gifted another super bowl win and I'm not the only one who thinks so..
From Brian Tuohy's http://www.thefixisin.net Under the 2017 season update section Quote:So after Monday Night's debacle, I'm feeling much more confident in my "Steelers to the Super Bowl" prediction. A Week 13 high of 13 penalties (for 173 yards) were called against the home Bengals while the visiting Steelers racked up 7 for 66 yards on MNF. One of those 13 Bengals flags negated a 50 yard AJ Green touchdown while another set the Steelers up for the game-winning Antonio BrownTD. In short, the refs gave this game to Pittsburgh while coincides with my theory that the Steelers are being gifted this season.Nahhhh...couldn't possibly be fixed..not in a magillion grazillion pigtrillion years!

Lol, we would need the Titans to lose out or the Chargers on top of winning out which is unlikely because if we don’t get beat by the Bears we will get stomped by the Vikings
