Maybe, giving the Tits some benefit of the doubt, they have (a) AJ with year under his belt (OK, but he was pretty dang good last year too) (b) a year of confidence coming off the playoff run (So I guess you can say they are building off that experience); and (c) a whole year of continuity with each other as opposed to regime changes.....maybe something I'm missing that others can fill me in on (I've watched just about all of their games BTW) All that sounds fine, but won't mean anything when / If they meet the Chiefs again.....Pat will shred that D alive, and (as others have said) will take them out of their run first mentality game. the Tits want to bully everyone, and we have the ultimate "don't care, you're not going to bully us" QB and team.... I'd even highly doubt that the Chiefs D could replicate the AFCCG performance from last year....so what? in the Regular season game, Henry ran for 188 (that I note the Tits won), but it took a 50 yd fumble returned TD, not one but 2 botched FGs (which I'm still thoroughly convinced that the last blocked attempt the Tits dude was way offsides), and like a 60-70 yd TD run by Henry, a horrible 3rd down play by the Chiefs to set up the first botched FG, and the Tits still had to drive at the end of the game to get that win (at home none-the-less)..... That was one of the biggest mind-blowing what the F games we've played under the Andy regime. I would add that it was Pat's first game back from knee injury, but he was stellar in that game so that wasn't an issue, but I also think that was a game where Andy started to realize that we can't let the foot off the gas. At any rate, it took a lot of crazy things to happen for the Tits to win, things that are very rarely going to happen simultaneously very often. My point is that, even with a herculean effort from Henry, the Chiefs could have, and quite honestly, should have easily won that game. And in the playoffs, with this year's Tits D, in KC, I just don't see the Tits being able to hang. For as much as the Tits probably want their shot at the Chiefs for last year's playoff loss....the Chiefs would be salivating over shredding that D again..... And we can fool ourselves all we want about the Tits being up by 10 twice in the AFCCG....for mere mortal teams, that's a big deal. For a Chiefs team that has demonstrated that they can put up 28 pts in a quarter multiple times, it's a mere inconvenience. The Chiefs aren't the Ravens, Pats, Steelers or anyone else that has to play by" normal rules"....They are the Chiefs and nothing is impossible..... None of this is to take away from the Tits, because they do have a very good team, are well coached, and most certainly are a contender that can win on any given day, and they should be taken seriously. But they simply don't match up well at all with the Chiefs, and sure as heck aren't going to outscore them in a clean game, so unless a similar series of very fortuitous events occur, I don't see them beating the Chiefs....

Took a glance at the Steelers forum, and it doesn't seem like they're confident about beating the Chiefs. A lot of them don't think they're as good as their record and acknowledge that, on their bad days, they were lucky to be facing a crap team.

Any model or analysis that puts that much emphasis on their record is worthless.

It's a lot more complicated than just the record but the models have started favoring Pittsburgh to make the Super Bowl after last week. |

With just a couple exceptions, they've either had to come from behind or have been in dogfights against mostly bottom tier teams.

How will they look Monday against a young Washington team (who last played on Thanksgiving)? Or the next Sunday when they travel to Buffalo (who’s looking to win their first division title in forever)? What about Indy in Week 16 after playing on Monday? Then traveling to Cleveland? Their team has key injuries to the strength of their team, which aren’t coming back this year.

Until the CHIEFS kick their ass in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME and take the LAMAR HUNT TROPHY!

The Steelers are a paper tiger. They are a threat just like any NFL team is a threat, but they'll be stumbling to the finish. They remind me of the 2003 Chiefs that went 10-0 and then stumbled along with a 3-3 record in the final 6. I fully expect them to lose down the stretch. They might yet end up with the #1 seed, but I'm not worried about the Steelers any more than any other AFC playoff team.

I wish the Steelers were playing Buffalo this week instead of the WFT.
A loss to WFT means nothing in regards to the first place bye.

Or, WSH defense could beat up Ben/receivers just enough to effect their performance against BUF.

If Phil can avoid throwing 12 of his patented Riversceptions, the Colts will take down the Steelers.
Buffalo has a great shot too. |
