Let's Talk About the Steelers (Christmas Day Game)

[SHOWTIME]

Biggest game of the year. If we win, we get the 1 seed and can rest guys as needed against the Donks.

Four teams. Two doubleheaders.

See the @HoustonTexans, @Chiefs, @steelers and @ravens face off in the NFL Holiday Remix starting this Saturday! pic.twitter.com/qNr4BROM8N

Just win. It's insufferable around these parts when this game happens.

**** Stooler Dan!!!!!

I hope the Bills lose and we sit all our starters.
Merry Christmas assholes!

win so the backups can end denver's season in denver

[Gary Cooper]

Rest the starters. Gives them two weeks of rest for the Denver game. Denver will likely sit their starters and treat that game as a BYE. Plus, the Steelers are a likely playoff opponent that we rarely see. No reason to show them anything.

Give Netflix and the NFL a middle finger for scheduling this game on Christmas on little rest.

Way tooo much rest. You'd have to treat the Broncos game like a preseason game.

They're 3 games up on the Bengals and Dolphins.

I don't think there is any reason why Andy would rest the starters for the Steelers....and Denver is fighting for playoff seeding, so it's unlikely they rest in week 18

Seeding...they could potentially get the 5th seed

Denver would be stupid to play for seedings if they already qualify. They could treat week 18 as a BYE like the Chiefs did last season.

Denver shouldn't care whether they play at Buffalo, Baltimore, or Pittsburgh. I suppose they could finish at #5 but unlikely as they lost to Baltimore. The AFC North loser will be the #5 seed.
