Saturday AFC Playoff games Pregame Thread

[DCofNC]

I see a couple paths to Steeler victory, but they all hinge on Jackson falling apart again and Wilson playing well.  I don’t like the odds for both of them happening.

Chances of the Texans and Steelers both winning? Not high, I imagine.

Does anyone else think the Steelers have a really good chance of winning this game ?

 

-All the steeler players keep hearing is about how they're a joke and have lost 4 in a row. Mike Tomlin will have the defense ready to play.

-They have a super bowl champion qb on the other side of the ball  🤷‍♂️ 

-Lamar has a losing record vs. Pittsburgh.

-Lamar performs poorly in the playoffs 

- No Zay Flowers

Go Texans and Steelers.

I don't think the Texans have much of a chance but I would love to face them in the divisional round.

Assuming Ravens win, and I suspect they will (but go steelers) Ravens fans will be insufferable

Well, the main question is, who would be able to give the chiefs their biggest test. I’d say the chargers because they’re division rivals. I say go ravens and chargers 

[Rew]

I think the steelers are a really good pick against the spread, this is likely to be a close game.  I think Steelers win this straight up at least 4/10 times for all the reasons others have mentioned.

[Ray Stonada]

Would love to see a real defensive war of attrition won by the Ravens. And the Chargers winning big with Herbert lighting it up.

 

Then we feast on Denver and next week we play the roughed-up Ravens at home, while the hot Chargers challenge the Chiefs.

It’s pretty funny that the ESPN shows this morning are obsessed with Lamar struggling in the playoffs and how he gets tight. They’ve peppered Lamar with questions about it all week. It’s like the media is willing it to happen.

Steelers have to beat the Ravens and the Zebras,after all 6  First Team All Pro votes can't be wrong.

[Pete]

Any given Sunday is even truer in the playoffs.  Conventional wisdom is Bills/KC AFC Championship and Detroit and Philly NFC.  Lets see if it ends that way. 

 

GO BILLS!

[TFBillsfan]

Unfortunately, I think the Steelers are gonna get smoked by the Ravens. I just don’t see how they have enough offensively to win tonight.

I'd have the conventional thinking would be Ravens-Chiefs in the AFC but perhaps I'm naturally pessimistic.

just imagine if the game were on SNF:

 

((Jackson completes a routine 15-yard pass to a “college-open” Mark Andrews))

 

Tirico: “Lamar… DOES IT AGAIN!!!  Oh my goodness!”

 

Collinsworth: “Well, the Lamar Jackson poster on my bedroom wall might have to move a little closer to my Pat Mahomes poster, I tell you what!  Ha ha gurgle gurgle”

My hate for Chiefs and Baltimore has surpassed my hate for the AFC East.  ***** the Ravens and KC!  Bring them on!  The Big Bad Bills are going to stomp KC and Baltimore(and Denver)!

I think Houston has a much better chance than the Steelers.  Baltimore is going to have to make a bunch of mistakes (penalties, turnovers) to lose that game.  But the great thing is you never know, so we watch.

I am with you, I am sick of these aholes.

[frostbitmic]

The Steelers won't win another game with Russell Wilson as its QB, he's done and has been since Seattle unloaded him.

 

Starting Justin Fields would probably be better but not enough to beat these Ravens.

 

If we beat the Broncos it should be the Ravens @ Bills next week.
