Had to be Berry

Meant to put it in the game thread after the BS PI

Correct me if I'm wrong, OTW, but the Steelers have been crunching people all year at home.

:D

Probably or someone on our defense, for certain.

Either way, those guys are about to get their wish, assuming Pittsburgh holds on to win.

They better back it up, for sure.

This. If we can't beat Pitt at home...then we never had a shot against the Pats and weren't a legitimate contender. We go out and beat them....and I don't see the Pats stopping us.

It'll be OUR 'redemption week!' - you all can continue to pussy out, fine by me. But don't come try to high-5 me after we win because I'll retract my hand to fix my hair.

I agree.

I think the Steelers present the biggest fight we're going to have.

Outlast them, and I can see is taking it to the Pats.

:thumb: To be the best youve got to beat the best and that means going through Pittsburgh and then New England. Pittsburgh probably is a bad matchup, but they will be on the road. KC has a decent shot to advance. New England in New England is what it is, but as banged up as they are this is as good a time as any for someone to go in there and knock them off while Gronk is out. Not saying it will happen, but come on, was there really another path to the SB that didnt go thru Foxboro?

Talk of some sort of Houston/Oakland,Miami path was chicken shit and not even realistic. Bring on the Steelers.

The #1 thing that worries me about Pitt is Bell. Our run defense has been gashed and you're talking about going up against the best all around RB in the NFL.

The biggest problem I see for the Chiefs is that Pitt's defense is a lot better than it was when we played them earlier in the year. They didn't have Shazier in that game, they've replaced about four other starters, too, they've obviously fixed their run defense.

The Chiefs will need Colts game Alex Smith to win this, and their normal, Philip Gaines-free defensive performance.

If they beat Pitt they can certainly beat the Pats. I honestly think Pitt might be the best team in the AFC. They've won eight in a row if they hold on today.

it seems like forever that in the AFC, you wanted to get to the Super Bowl, you had to beat Pitt and go on the road to NE and beat Brady/Belicheck. This year it seems to be no different.

You want to be the best, you got beat the best. This is the best overall team we have had in years. If somehow, someway beat Pitt and then NE in NE, we are going to win the Super Bowl this year.

It's been mentioned on a couple of broadcasts this year that teams feel they can "push the Chiefs around" to get them off their game.

Also, I think early in the divisional game last year against the Pats when they intentionally mashed our returner on a punt was evidence of opposing teams thinking this.

Regardless of what gets tossed around here, Sutton schemes pretty well. I'll be curious to see the approach he takes to face the Steelers.

Cockrell is dead.
