so glad the Stealers didnt make it

[icehole3]

No team gets more help from the refs than the Stealers, this will hopefully take the refs out of the playoffs

Have to respect how they finished, though.....they were really the only one of the teams vying for the final AFC spot that took care of their business from start to finish, and they would have made it in without Ryan Succop's choke at the end of the KC/SD game....

I heard on the Redzone that Suuccop is actually from Pittsburgh.

Hope he's not planning on a homecoming anytime soon.

Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are still in the playoffs. The refs still have work to do.

yep, you don't make calls that go against a legacy

Brady and Manning are to be respected, but not to be feared. We already have a win over Brady anyway. If we win this week we should be confident going to New England.

The key to beating New England is going to be slowing down the running game. Belicheck is going to lean on the run with the lack of receivers.

The key to beating Manning is to remind him that the calendar says January.

Not sure I buy into the Manning always chokes in January thing. Usually when he's been beaten it's because his defense lets him down. Fortunately that could happen again with Von Miller out.

Not sure it's always his fault (he certainly can't be blamed for that miracle Raven play last year), but the dude has some serious bad luck.

If we can make it that far I hope his bad run of luck continues for one more year.

Blount was a wrecking ball yesterday.

Belicheck is a fantastic coach. Back when they had Corey Dillon, he went heavy on the run to win the championship. Then he moved to a passing attack that capitalized on great receivers, then he invented new ways to use a two tight end set and now he's moving back to the run.

Will the NFL let the Bengals win in NE? I doubt it.

NFL network reporting the league says SD was in a illegal formation and shouldve been penalized 5 yards on Suuccop's kick.

And they also clearly fumbled.

Steelers got jobbed, but fuck 'em.

 

[cincygrad]

The Steelers getting jobbed is evidence that the league ISN'T fixed.

Ratings would be much higher for playoff games featuring the Steelers than it would for the Chargers.

I loved the drama and Jim Nance sucking Stealer cock hoping and praying they would get in, he's an assfart

fun watching the stiller season go up in smoke

This is all true, but the Pats haven't won a Super Bowl since they switched from a defensive team to an offensive team.
