My buddy (Steelers fan) and I are looking for tickets. If anyone has any good leads for tickets in the $200-250 range let me know.

Just checked out stub hub...The upper bowl is not a bad seat.

Jets should have a more difficult time establishing the run against Pittsburgh.

With all due respect to the Jets.....I was hoping for this matchup for several reasons. Playing the AFC title game at home and, as solid as Sanchez has been lately, Brady just seems to have our number. That first game was a close on as well whereas the loss to the Pats wasn't as competitive.

This is also the matchup I was hoping for. Especially considering the alternative. :)

Pittsburgh has had some good fortune of the bigger threats being knocked out and an especially good matchup in the SB.....Cardinals/Seahawks for ex

I really like this matchup for Pittsburgh.....The Jets did an outstanding job of playing defense on Brady....the Colts kinda killed themselves...but Jets won...just like Pittsburgh, but the Jets have not faced a great Steelers defense in the playoffs.

IMO the Jets have to get out to a very good start or Pittsburgh will roll.

I've been wrong before.....but this is AFC Championship scenario I was dreaming of....and I feel great about Pittsburgh chances.

I'll be the first to say it. Tonights win at NE was the Jets SuperBowl. Steelers 24- 13.

I'm just happy that Pittsburgh is hosting the AFC Championship instead of Foxboro. I think the key to the game will be limiting mistakes. Pittsburgh, Baltimore and the Jets are very similar teams in that they play killer defense and look to control the ball and dictate the tempo on offense. Yesterday, when Pittsburgh was making mistakes, it was looking like Baltimore would cruise to the win. Then, Baltimore started making mistake after mistake and Pittsburgh was able to come back and win.

You can't count on that every week...that the other team will screw up enough times to negate your mistakes. Pittsburgh needs to avoid handing over easy scoring opportunities to the other team against the Jets.

I have tickets already but I was checking stub hub just for the heck of it and it looks like there are tickets in that price range.

One thing about Heinz Field is you could even buy two singles and stand somewhere, especially on the rotundas.
