Is it immature of me to hope we play the Denver Broncos next week.....
Just so I can yell "ELWAY SUCKS" all over again just like I did on September 11,1983 when that spoiled brat Elway showed up in Baltimore for the first home game in Memeorial Stadium that year?
I have never forgiven him, but I will admit he was one of the top 237 QBs to ever play QB in the NFL. Yeah 237 is about right.

Pretty sure Elway could care less about how people in Baltimore feel about him.

Re: Is it immature of me to hope we play the Denver Broncos next week.....
In the grand scheme of things, are we not hoping that the Steelers beat the Broncos? Sure, it'd be fun to face the Broncos, but if we're thinking long term, the best path for us is for Pittsburgh to win, for them to go to New England and beat each other up and win, then come here broken and battered. (The second-best path is probably for the Bengals to beat Houston, in which case New England faces a decent defense and explosive offense. If the Bengals win I guess I hope the Broncos do too in that case--no use facing Pittsburgh AND New England, right?)

Addendum to the above: the Ravens can beat anyone, but of course I still prefer the easiest path for us possible :)

Knowing what we know about Irsay, why do you blame anyone for not wanting to play for that drunk asshat?
Kudos to him! Not that he gives a damn though.

:word And IIRC, Elway never said anything bad about Baltimore, just that he would not play for the Colts because of the situation! Joe Thomas had already torn the team apart and the talent level was low. Elway would have been killed behind the line we had in '82 and '83. He knew Irsay would not spring for better linemen and receivers so why play for the drunk! He did what he needed to do so he could have the best career possible. Didn't blame him then, don't blame him now.

Playing Denver next week would be awesome! We could all do the Tebowing thing for a pre game ritual

No! I don't want to face the steelers for a third time. I think we're the better team, but to be upset by them would be a disaster. The Bengals, in all likelyhood, are going to beat the Texans, so a steeler's win over Denver sends them here for a divisional playoff game. With that scenario, we'd have to beat the steelers for a third time and then the Patriots in foxboro.

Worse than that, IIRC--the Colts HC was Frank Kush, whom Elway pere et fils both despised from his days as the Arizona State HC. From Sports Illustrated, January 26, 1987:

I believe that we would still be be rooting for the Baltimore Colts, if Irsay had canned Kush and drafted Elway.
In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Hosting the Broncos would be a nice parallel to our first home playoff win.
