We wouldn't face them first round my dude, as an NE loss means that BUF won and we therefore couldn't get the #2 seed. PIT can only get the #7.

I'd rather play @Bal then deal with any of those three at home.

I mean, it's the playoffs.  

Hiding from teams isn't really a thing.  Even if it was, this team does not need to.

Just win. It doesn't matter who plays us because THEY have to play us.

The only way we can play Pittsburgh in the first round is if the Bills lose and we get the # 2 seed, as the #2 seed will play the #7 seed.

If the Bills lose, PIT can't be the #7 seed... because NE will have won.

Well, we are talking about Pittsburgh here, so there may be another way where the Bills lose, but then they do a coin flip to see who gets the W.

correct.. thanks... i actually think the odds are good for Steelers to get it if Miami has to play their 3rd string QB, I see Buffalo rolling NE , Pitt beating browns

Actually playing a team like Baltimore worries me more than playing the Chiefs. If this team has one fault, it is that they tend to play down to the competition and lose games they should easily win.

What if the Ravens are only able to bring their C game but the Bengals bring their B game?

Not worried about this week. Something went seriously wrong if they get beat by BAL.

Now the week after? With the possibility of LJ back? You're facing a 12-13 win Ravens team at that point versus what they are now. They weren't perfect, but BAL was a very good team pre LJ injury.
