Lets Go Pitt! We are only one game ahead of NE and they have an easy schedule the rest of the way. I'm rooting hard for Pitt.
As much as I have been talking about the importance of the #2 seed lately, I still have to hope for a Steeler win. Gotta take care of business and open up a lead in division first; the Patriots could easily win out their schedule after today. The only way I could root for Patsies here is if we were pretty confident we owned the tiebreaker on them ... which is not the case, right? (haven't paid much attention to that yet, past the head-to-head. I think it's still too early to be sure of division record, except to say that if Pats win out & tiebreaker becomes an issue, then that means we've lost a game, and the remaining likely games for us to lose after today are in the division.)
They've lost 2 games in the division already while we've lost 1. If both teams win out in the division (NE has Buffalo on the road left if I'm not mistaken), then we'll be 5-1 and they'll be 4-2. I hope we win out, but if not, I hope we don't lose to Miami or Buffalo.
Gotta root for Pittsburgh. We still have 2 west coast trips and 2 division games to play. We need the separation with NE having a pretty easy schedule remaining
Pitt has a lot of teams that are on fire to play... the Pats have cupcake shit to play... Pitt wins today, loses two games over the next 4, and the Jets should have the #2 seed.
How can anyone not root for the Steelers? Especially with the Ravens AND Colts winning today, the wild card race just got that much tighter. Get the AFC East first, then worry about a bye !
