Official Steelers/Broncos Divisional Playoff Predictions

Its way too early to make predictions when we don't know if Ben, AB and Williams will be playing. Ask again on Saturday when we know who is in and out.

Wrong, try again, dude. No one is substantiating the bullshit that Bob Holzman reported last night about AB. It was a load of ****.

According to Pittsburgh Steeler's Head Coach Mike Tomlin, wide receiver Antonio Brown suffered a concussion and is in the league's concussion protocol. What report can you tell us, Al?

Also, how many NFL players that suffer concussions play next week?
 
Holzman lives in Northern Kentucky, he's stirring the **** pot like all the other Bungle reporters are. AB will play as long as he clears the protocol. He's got 4 more full days before game day. He will be fine.

We've had a number of players just this season who have played the following week after suffering a concussion.

And go **** yourself. You declared Ben "likely out" yesterday and then come back today and say "I have a feeling he is going to play". Same bullshit with AB...no one is buying that nonsense you shell out day after day.

You wrong so often I'm beginning to think they need to increase funds for education in the Ben Avon area. Stop drinking unfiltered water from the Ohio River, and please save the profanity for the Bengals fans.

It will be on you that Brown is playing :)

Sports Illustrated says otherwise. Senior writer Chris Burke and SNY football analyst Erik Coleman from SI report below:

Another epic playoff choke for Manning where he throws a plethora of picks.

While Manning can choke, he's up against our DB's. It could come down to the Steelers pass rush. Manning never liked to hear footsteps.
 
I've picked them to lose against the Bengals in Game 14, lose again against the Broncos, beat the Ravens, lose to the Browns (coin flip after the Ravens disaster) and lose the Wild Card round. In keeping with my accuracy, I'll pick them to lose to the Broncos 31-21. If Landry Jones plays, it won't be that close. Prove me wrong once again!!

Pass rush is the key for this game. If they play like last week, we should be in good shape because Peyton can't scramble like McCaron did.
 
I will watch, I will pull for our guys, but I think Ben will be too limited, and I am still not certain AB is gonna clear the doctors.

A valiant effort runs out of gas mid 3rd quarter. Denver pulls away.

Broncos 24
Steelers 13


I hope I loose- Badly

Even against a team with a bad pass defense, it's no guarantee he lights them up. See: Colts, Indianapolis-2014 playoffs.
 
Steelers 24, Broncos 19.

There's no other way to explain it:

Instead of scores we should be predicting who plays and who sits....
Ben, Brown start,
Pouncey, Williams Out...
Golden injured but dresses, ...

Coach, all those sources that you cite are simply parroting the Bob Holtzman ESPN report that I believe to be false. I'm glad you found three --- there are probably 100 out there --- but it doesn't mean Holtzman's reporting isn't bullshit.

I don't know who this Holtzman character is. Schefter reports are pretty accurate. He mentioned Holtzman's name. SI and CBS did not.

We'll see who plays. If Ben is very limited or AB is out, I'll view the game as if we are playing with house money.

No you won't. If we lose on Sunday - regardless of the circumstances - you will unleash hell on this board with your absurd stat of Tomlin being 1-4 in his last 5 playoff games. For the 150th time - if you don't want to be viewed as a troll - it is idiotic to count the loss in Super Bowl 45 in your "stat" while excluding the 2 wins that got us there. Someone with intelligence would start counting in the 2011 season or present the information is a way that is not clear cherry-picking to suit an agenda.
 
I still think AB will play. But if he doesn't, expect the defense to come out flying because they know the game rests in their hands
 
Steelers: 17
Pony Boys: 13

D will be the difference. Wheaton will have a big day and Fitzy will have a nice rushing TD on a breakaway run. TEs need to have a big impact in the offense Sunday. Peyton Manning will make crucial mistakes that will put us in short field advantages. DBs get at least 2 picks and D recovers one fumble.

If you read my stuff earlier you might have seen that I feel we are playing with house money. If Ben is gimpy and AB does not play, the score won't matter as to me as much. However, the bad use of clock management, a bad 4th down call and such are always game.

As for the unleash hell comment, are you unwittingly mocking Tomlin? That's his MO, not mine. I prefer Parcells. You are what your record says you are. But to shake hands, I promise not to use the 1-4 mark the week after is we lose. But if you're asking me to curb mock drafts, you're asking for too much!



DEAL?

With Ben and AB, winning this game would be gravy on the season. Without them, it will be after perhaps only the Super Bowls on the All-Time Best Steelers Victories list.

Broncos 23
Steelers 15

Prove me wrong!
 
Since I have a very busy weekend ahead of me, I'll make my prediction now, knowing AB is out, but unsure about Ben's status. Ben at 75% I'll call a win! But I think he's 50% at best now...

Bryant or Wheaton I think need to have big games for us to have a chance. Even if Jones starts, I'd be fine with giving the red zone snaps to Ben. , and even letting Vick run a wild cat or QB bootleg

Our defense on the road has not been great and I think you need to have a respectable defense to win a road playoff game unless you can score a lot pf points

Our pass d was ranked 30th. This is bad, and when you factor in we played 7 backup QB's....

My hope is that Manning makes some key mistakes.

Best guess:

Broncos 27
Steelers 18
 
I don't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about this game but I don't bet against them ...so I need a scenario that is plausible.

This is all on the QB's, on both sides. Dink and dunk, cold weather and two defenses that need to step it up. That's where we are at a disadvantage but I'm still thinkin' our 'D' scores at least once and my fingernails finally succumb to the pressure during OT.
