DCOrange Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I would be very shocked. Even if Mahomes gets hurt, I think KC likely beats Pittsburgh with Henne at QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 This game will be close. Chiefs are a fragile team - they are like the Bills - punch them in the face first and they have a hard time recovering. You can run *and* pass on that defense, and their OL is down Niang. If the Steelers can escape the first quarter without a double digit deficit, they are in business. His receivers need to catch the ball. Their dropsies are a killer.

If Pitt can barely beat a badly hobbled Ravens team , it doesn’t bode well for them going against a mostly full strength KC team that already smoked this season .

Patrick Duffy Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) It's certainly possible, but doubtful. Never know in the NFL and much crazier has happened.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Big Ben will be motivated to make good on getting an unexpected opportunity to erase the arguably worst game played all year, and I’m sure the team will similarly want to rally around that—so yeah, in a league where the worst and the best are separated by just a few plays per game, I like the Steelers to surprise a few people.

Zerovoltz Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think the Chiefs and Bills both got very very favorable wild card matchups. I am wondering about the weather in Buffalo, but I do believe you'll beat down the PATS, setting up a division round matchup of BUG VS KC. I believe the winner goes to the Super Bowl. I think there is a small chance the Raiders win in Cincy. ....and then a better chance the Raiders win in Nashville. the Raiders D line is a bad matchup for BOTH those teams but, not for KC and not so bad for the Bills either. I predict Buffalo VS KC for the right to HOST the AFCCG. I just don't see the Titans getting it done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Round Bust Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 yes cuz denver almost did and would have if they had not fumbled deep in KC territory which resulted in a TD return by the KC defense and was the difference in a close game...further had Den won Bills and KC would have been tied in standing and Bills win tiebreaker based on head-to-head play - but alas...but possible not likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bengals can certainly go into TEN and beat the Titans. I could see the winner of BUF-KC hosting the AFCCG assuming they both win this weekend.

mannc Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think the Steelers’ defense will frustrate Mahomes early, but they just don’t have enough offensive firepower…KC will pull away in the second half and win by two scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Yes, but only if lots of things go their way. Think of what the Steelers did to US. They have a great front 7 and if they can prevent Mahomes from getting in a groove, they have a shot. Then you have turnovers, which can always alter the outcome of any game if that breaks Pittsburgh's way. Unlikely, but possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Steelers need to hammer that run game more and not fall down early. Harris was pretty good against them the first time but i'm not sure the defense ever stopped mahomes. it would have to be a game where the d scored or put the offense in scoring range twice and steelers just hammered the run game.

Captain Caveman Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Any team can beat any team, and the Steelers Defense could steal a game, but it seems like the least likely upset of this weekend. If I were guessing I'd say maybe they win this game 1 in 6 or 7 (which is pretty close to the Vegas odds of +500) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Unless the Steelers figure out a way to limit the Chiefs to 14 points or less, there is little to no chance the Steelers win. My prediction...game will be over by halftime. Final score...KC 35 PIT 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corta765 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 100%. Pittsburgh is bad mouthed because of Big Ben but they have a very good RB and decent skill position players with a superb defense and solid coaching. People forget playoffs are all about just that week and surviving. KC didn't finish as hot as mid season and I can easily see if PIT gets an early lead they turn this into a ball control clock game to limit possessions. Also teams reallyyyyy don't like being embarrassed and they can exact some revenge for a few weeks ago. Finally I feel like every post season there is a game or two where people write off a team and then are surprised. There are no gimmees in the post season especially, I am sure Tomlin has the Steelers jacked up after a week of people saying "this week is a bye week for KC" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Bills vs. Jacksonville. Upsets happen! I agree, low odds though. I'm still holding out hope though, b/c it would be just incredible if someone like Pittsburgh took care of KC for us. I will definitely watch that game with a LOT of interest---at least until KC goes up by 30. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 No chance in hell outside of some early freak injury to Mahomes or something.

He obviously has lost some juice. But the guy still makes clutch plays and can Chuck it down field if given time. I would put money on the fact that he could throw the ball further than Mac Jones. I also think if you put him on the colts, they would probably be better than they were this past year with wentz. (He actually threw for more yards than Wentz). His big issue is being handcuffed by a really green and mostly meh line, and the team trying to protect him from getting hit. He just cannot take a hit at this point in his career. But you wonder with this being his last hurrah, the team will Open it up and let him Chuck it down field. KC pass defense can be sliced up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTermBuffalonian Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Do I think the Steelers *can* beat KC? Yes - it is possible. Strange things happen, come playoff time. Steelers D isn't bad at all, and if Big Ben and their running game come to play, the Steelers CAN pull it off. Any given sunday, and all that. Do I think it's LIKELY? Not particularly. To be honest - I don't have a dog in that fight. At this point, I'm just hoping the Bills win and move on. Don't care what happens anywhere else - because I think the Bills can dance with (and beat) any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
