Saturday Football Thread: PIT@BAL & HOU@KC (no Bills stuff please)

[LarryMadman]

Absolutely no reason for Balt to throw now other than to pad Lamars stats to try and win him MVP

Who has the tie breaker between Baltimore and Pitts assuming Baltimore wins this tonight?

 

Divisional record tied. Steelers have the better conference record (7-3 to 6-4 including tonight).

The Steelers were incredibly lucky to have their record. The first 10 games of their schedule was front loaded with cream puffs. They are being exposed now, but I'm not sure how any football fan would've thought them to be a contender in the first place.

[muppy]

an AFC extravaganza on the telly today.

 

It appears to me  Baltimore is the much better team over the Steelers in this game. Demoralizing them with offensive production in this drive. HA

 

GOOD!

 

 

[Augie]

I would like D Henry to get another 20 carries this game. That helps us in multiple ways. 

[bobobonators]

It needs to be said. Down 2TD with 9min to go, why did Pitt punt the ball? So dumb. 

[Brand J]

Been YEARS since the Ravens beat the Steelers decisively. Steelers own the Ravens, Ravens own the Bengals, and the Browns always seem to give their AFCN neighbors fits.

Imagine being a wild card team at 12-2.

 

That stinks 😂

I think common opponents before conference record.

[Success]

I was looking forward to this day of football - but I did not enjoy this day of football.

I would disagree that it is good overall...with their respective remaining schedules this sets up for Ravens as the 3 seed...who plays at 2 if they win the wild card round...not looking forward to that.

The chiefs better enjoy it this last year. 
 

because with Nix in Denver and Harbaugh in LA, the AFCW will not be a cakewalk for years to come.

Ah. Think it's the same answer though, due to the common game against the Raiders. Steelers over Ravens for now.

Their division has been more competitive than the AFC East.

3 teams will be heading to the playoffs from that division. It’s the toughest division in the AFC.

Lots of non-Bills fans friends of mine tell me the same thing about the Bills calling tush-push TDs for Allen.  They constantly tell me it’s stat padding.  but anyway, i don’t necessarily disagree about Lamar but it’s how different people view stuff. 

 

Is it stat padding or calling a play that is successful 9/10 times?

Funny as we thought that would be the case last year and it wasn't. This year things clicked. The Chiefs got home but not as easily as the record makes it appear.

Just because there are other good players in the league that put up stats it isn’t an attack on the Bills.

And the Chiefs are 1 win away from going undefeated in the AFCW.

Only this year. Not in years’ past. It’s not even close. 
 

The raiders/broncos/chargers have been trash for years. The jets and dolphins have been either in the playoffs or hunt for playoffs (jets). Pats haven’t been a complete abomination until last 2 yrs.
