I'm not a fan of that rule either, but if the evidence over the next few years shows that kickoff related injuries are significantly down I couldn't argue against the legitimacy of it.
But I'll always argue against an 8-8 team hosting a 12-4 team. I think the Steelers will win anyway though. Denver sucks.
Why have divisions at all, if winning your division doesn't get you some perk?But I'll always argue against an 8-8 team hosting a 12-4 team. I think the Steelers will win anyway though. Denver sucks.

If the Steelers can't go to Mile High and Kick an 8-8 team's *ss, they don't deserve to go any farther anyway.

You're only going to need 10 points to win this game, should be more than enough.
lol you expect them to lose to an 8-8 team with a terrible QB who can't play well for an entrie game? Damn, more times than not you're predicting your team loses.Non;1034505 wrote:I think the Steelers will lose this game.

All four teams in the AFC West played 14 of 16 games against common opponents. The Steelers and Broncos probably only played a small fraction of their 16 games against common opponents. Same thing happened a few times with the Bears being 13-3 or so, get the home game, and get pantsed by the wild-card Eagles who came out of the much harder NFC East, and had a piss-poor record to show for it.Mulva;1034113 wrote:I posted it on the Browns game thread, but it's bullshit that this game is in Denver. Rewarding a team for where they play rather than for winning games is stupid.
If you want to have division winners get auto-bids, fine. But auto home games? Awful.

If you want the home game, win your division. It's simple. To the point. Beat Baltimore once, and you wouldn't have this problem. Wildcard is exactly that. You should just be grateful there is a 'make up' spot in the playoffs.
Good point. Taking care of business. Let's see... Denver lost to Oakland, Tennessee, Green Bay, San Diego, Detroit, New England, Buffalo, and Kansas City. Oh yeah, and they lost the last 3 games of the season and backed into the playoffs at 8-8.holdingout;1034416 wrote:Steelers couldn't take care of business.

Because it makes logistical and geographical sense to have them, and it makes scheduling a whole lot easier. From a competitive standpoint there is no reason for it, and I'd much rather just have 2 conferences.HitsRus;1034417 wrote:Why have divisions at all, if winning your division doesn't get you some perk?
That's such garbage reasoning it's ridiculous. Just because they should be able to win the game in Denver doesn't mean they should be playing the game in Denver to begin with.HitsRus;1034417 wrote:If the Steelers can't go to Mile High and Kick an 8-8 team's *ss, they don't deserve to go any farther anyway.
You are correct on that one. I hate the Steelers passionately. But I hate stupid rules more.killer_ewok;1034528 wrote:Agreed, but I'm pretty sure that Mulva is not a Steeler fan.

I hope tebow sucks ass in this game and Big Ben tears his achilies.
Keep believing that...I Am Ahab;1034589 wrote:I think the reason for allowing division winners to host games even when they have fewer wins than their opponent is obvious. It's because the NFL is out to get Pittsburgh and they put that rule in place waiting for this situation to happen and it finally did. Pittsburgh has to go on the road to face a team with a worse record.
League is always working to f*c% the Steelers.
They would rather play at Baltimore,no brainer. Even though the Pats have been bounced early the last couple years NOBODY wants 2 see Brady and BB in the playoffs if they can avoid it.Non;1034505 wrote:I think the Steelers will lose this game.
