blackngolddigger Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Gotta give Cleveland an edge in this game, mostly due to the defensive starters the Steelers are sitting. Still playing with the playoff machine to pick my poison as a fan in regards to playoff matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Rudolph and the backups could be an improvement. In honor of Mason Rudolph getting the start, Stefanski announce Myles Garrett will be a Captain for the game: Nice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkley couldnt beat the Jets last season. Dolphins are actually well coached and have something to play for. I disagree.

Let Tenn vs Balt battle it out, winner goes to KC. KC can deal with winner, which I would assume is Balt. I'd take 2 games against Pits, Miami, Browns, or Colts. What if Baltimore beats KC.... AFC champ game in Buffalo!! (assuming we win the other two games of course) Edited January 2, 2021 by Scott7975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly dumb move by Stefanski if you ask me - not only makes him look like a trolling fool, also gives Steelers more incentive.

How much have you followed the Steelers this year? I can say confidently not as much as I, living in Pittsburgh region. 1.Ben is dinged up, knee, elbow, getting old you name it 2.on defense their linebackers are decimated by injuries, and have little.depth remaining 3. On top of all that, they basically were forced into a very early season bye week, bc of Titans Covid situation in October My point is, the steelers situation is.not the norm and far different than ours. They might be willing to concede that 2 seed, in order to rest a few banged up players. I think we will do the same, rest our banged up guys and then see what mcdermott does from there. But I don't think they are willing to say 2 vs 3 seed means little. Ok maybe no fans, so what, here are some other factors that certainly influence home field advantage: 1. Weather: Pitt vs Buffalo might be similar, so maybe a draw there, and I'm sure buffalo's offense nor is pittsburghs geared up for a snow game pound it, both would rather pass 2. Travel/Routine: big difference in terms of staying in familiar surroundings, then having to manage travel and time it takes. Yes minimal flight time, but still multiple hours and having to get on a plane 3. Home Field: want to compare kicking a field goal in Pittsburgh to Buffalo? big difference at Heinz, let alone the playing surface, the wind patterns, etc. These might be minor to a novice, but playing Qb and being familiar with how the wind comes.from tunnel.side to cross field, and how it influences deep passes, etc. 4. Pride: yeah maybe minor, but these guys take pride playing "at home", even if fans aren't allowed in. Our house mentality So yeah, im in the crowd that favors us getting the 2 seed. Do it in a way where we escape the Miami game as healthy as possible, but its still important The other difference is Pitt is likely assuming we'll win so doesn't matter. If they had announced they were playing all their starters all the way, Tomlin might be assuming Bills would have done the same and Bills would win and they'd still be in 2nd seed. Big difference in how you plan/play game when you control your own destiny. Speaking of which was just looking every team in AFC controls their own destiny except Colts. They are the only one that win a win, they are still not in. Likely Balt, Indy, & Tenn will win so they likely need to count on either Bills or Steelers win to get them in.
