When the Stoolers played the Broncos on MNF in 2009 in Denver Ryan Clark didn't play. So you're probably right.

i wouldnt fancy facing denver, good pass rush could wreack havoc on our passing game

Ravens should beat either one of those, I wouldn't have a preference other than maybe ending Tebowmania for the year.

I have no preference, I think the Ravens crush either team. Think Chiefs game last year style.

I also think the Steelers are going to struggle against the Broncos, so I guess I'd rather them face Denver. It's just a gut feeling.

He has some rare combination of medical conditions (one being sickle cell) which caused extreme illness for him in a game at Denver a few years ago. He ended up being rushed to the hospital and having his spleen and gall bladder removed. He lost 30 pounds and damn near died.

I think the ideal playoff scenario would be Pittsburgh @ Denver and NYJets @ Houston in the first round, and then NYJets @ New England and Denver @ Baltimore in the divisional round. That would set us up for a nice NYJets @ Baltimore AFC Championship game.

What? Oh, nevermind.

If Pitt gets the #5 seed would rather see them play at Oakland with McFadden returning from his injury.

Sorry to be late to the party - if the Ravens win, they probably are #2 seed? If they lose, how do they become #5? (I confess I haven't really looked at the whole picture, just the current standings.)

Thanks...

Wildcards are the #5 and #6. If we lose (and Pittsburgh wins), then Pitt wins division (by finishing 12-4 to our 11-5) and gets the #2 (assuming New England wins to keep the #1 seed), and we finish 11-5 and get the #5 (best WC seed) because Cincy would only be 10-6 with a win (and get the #6 seed).

Our possibilities are the #1 (NE loses, we win), the #2 (we win, NE wins OR we lose and Pitt loses), or the #5 (we lose, Pitt wins)
