Why root for New England? A Pittsburgh loss and a Jets win would jump us ahead of them in the playoff seeds, and if the season ended today, we would have the #2 seed, a first round bye, and home field advantage up until, and possibly including, the AFC Championship game. Why root for Pittsburgh? A New England loss keeps them further away from tying up first place. And, um, also... Fuck the Patriots. I hope that franchise crashes and burns.
pit their sched is alot tougher.plus first priority is the division.get that wrapped up first the rest will work itself out
If we win, go New England. If we lose, go Pittsburgh. We control our own destiny in the division with home games against Miami and Buffalo and a 3-1 divisional record, better than the Pats' 3-2.
Particularly given the schedules, I think rooting for Pittsburgh makes a lot more sense - they are very likely to lose one or two of their last four games, while New England is not. The nice thing is that at least if Pittsburgh does lose, it helps the Jets also.
i hope the pats win. this would all but garuantees we meet the pats in the afc championship game. anything less would be like kissing your sister. or mangold's sister. take your pick.
Pitt..their schedule is very hard, and even if they played the lions in the last 4 games, fuck the pats.. GO STEELERS
I am expecting Cassel to have another monster game this week. Wes Welker and Ben Watson will have to come up big this week in order for that to happen though. Reggie Wayne came up big against them Steelers earlier, and Indy aptly beat them 24-20. The thing is, spread offense is a very good neutralizer of 3-4 defense.
No way Cassel does much against the Steelers D. But no way Big Ben does much against the Pats D either. This is gonna be a low scoring affair.
Peyton Manning didn't do much either. Just enough to beat them Steelers. And his main weapon that day was Reggin Wayne, from slot. I am just stating the obvious.
Just win Jets! If the Jets keep winning, odds are the Steelers will lose sometime, and the Jets will be the #2 or #1 seed.
Look at the rest of Pitts schedule... no way they're winning out... we can afford to have them beat NE...
