Pats

Forget about the GB offense, the defense is bleh. That said atlanta need to keep the foot on the throat and not let them back in. Open up a huge lead that lasts 3 quarters.

New Tactic for the Patriots? Get your opponents sick before the game, there is a flu bug going around Steelers' locker room before the game.

I actually liked the insults Tomlin used for two reasons: 1) I agree due to my extreme disdain for the Patriots and 2) Bulletin Board material!

What say you, @Pats?

Lol oh yeah I saw that, I kind of laughed since Mike said everyoen keep under the radar they wont know we are coming. As antonio brown films the whole thing hahaha

lol the chiefs are so useless in the playoffs. Great in the regular season but they just find ways to lose. This is still the same team that blew a 21 point halftime lead to the colts a couple years ago. Alex smith isn't good enough.

Alex is what I call a safe QB. Someone not often willing to throw more than 15 yards on a pass. But to be fair even when he did the chiefs dropped the passes. Also once again your avy is one of the best.

Congrats in advance for getting to your 9th Super Bowl in 10 years or whatever figure that's up to now.  

Tbh though, I think the conference title was yours to lose when Carr went down. I can't see any way the Steelers win next week and I can't see any way the Chiefs would have won had they eked it out here.

Haha thanks, I was bummed to see carr go down. I wanted to see oakland vs pitt in this game not kansas. Just for the old throwback years.

I don't think we would be able to beat you guys in Foxborough though so I guess picking 10 or so picks earlier will be nice

I think it would be at least close, this game against pitt I could see being 37-20

Not a bit Pats fan, but I'll always be up for seeing the Steelers get beaten by them.

I just saw on the nfl page there's a lot of stairway to 7 comments, I just cringed.

Just now, 52520Andrew said:

Not a stretch at all to think we could have been in the AFC Championship game

You would have crushed miami and nullified kansas, so I agree.

Well for me this is a good outcome, a pummelling of pittsburgh in the afc championship game. I would have been indifferent to kansas or oakland.

I have a feeling pitt hangs on

Eric Fisher you dummy. Wasted first round pick just like Joeckel. Worst Tackles drafted along with Matt Kalil. 

Hopefully the Chiefs can get the ball back here and try to win it with a FG.

Yeah all of them were big busts, I think the lesson is dont waste high picks on tackles

Both games are on Sunday, Falcons game is 3PM local, AFC game should be 6:30 or so.

Oh i must have misread it, I thought it was saturday for NFC game. They should make NFC game the later one.

Just now, Inqui said:

You guys seem to have their number in a bigger way than we do. I just hope it's the earlier game next week so I can sleep in.

The schedule says its on a sunday (monday for us) and the nfc game is on saturday.

I suspect the AFCCG will be just as dire. So that's two good playoff games out of 10 (assuming the NFCCG is good) before we even think about the Pro Bowl.

No wonder ratings are down.

I think the steelers will get beat down pretty badly so yeah it won't be great, GB vs atlanta will be fun though.

This is pretty much a northern hemisphere rugby fans dream game.

This is an awful game

The chiefs stink

Short of a Hill return(gonna kick it away), Smith has to get them the ball. If the game were at Arrowhead I would give the Chiefs the edge but not in Foxborough

True true, they aren't looking great in this game so far either.

Don't trust Alex Smith in crunch time, at least Ben has shown he is capable in the past

Oh not worried about him, but kelce and hill and the defense are a concern.

Packers have choked in the postseason too many times for me to believe that. Nearly choked away the Dallas game as well. You guys have a huge edge in coaching on all the remaining teams

You may be right but I really hate getting into possible shootouts. I suppose better defensive teams are the ones to typically eliminate us in post season play but even still ehh. Kansas are a tougher game than the steelers though.

Just now, DomMcRaven said:

I mean seriously, why is Joey Porter getting any exposure?

He's always been a psycho, how he could be hired as a coach is even more baffling.

Just now, Inqui said:

I'm actually not among them, but you won't have any problems finding people who hate the "bend but don't break" philosophy around here.

I don't like the idea of giving up cheap yards, but at least thats better than giving up TD's like it's no tomorrow. The prevent defense scheme is the worst popular formation in football imo.

1 minute ago, 52520Andrew said:

I would say KC has a top tier defense but they don't really have a shot in Foxborogh. Patriots can at least slow down the Packers or Falcons and neither team has a shot at slowing down Brady

Packers scare me more, I know they are the type of team to bring a good pass rush when it really matters and win a shootout.

Just now, RaineV1 said:

I really like NE's defense. It's really disciplined and doesn't make mistakes. You guys have a great DC.

If you believe the media he's being poached for head coach roles next season. It's still that gross bend not break style that gives up a lot of field goals though and that really sucks at the end of games.

Just now, JO_75 said:

Well then as I said, no teams in the playoffs have any defense. Chiefs made that look as easy as the Steelers made it look easy. Might have another shootout if Alex Smith can keep up with Ben and co.

Kansas and NE have defense. Not top tier defense but good defense.

i'm 4-1 on picks, but this game is the hardest to call for me. I wanna say chiefs win it 24-21
