The Steelers will host their AFC Divisional Playoff Game on Sunday, January 11 at Heinz Field. Kickoff for the game is 4:45 p.m. (Eastern Time).

The Steelers will play either the Miami Dolphins, San Diego Chargers or Indianapolis Colts.



Below is the playoff schedule for the wild card and divisional playoff games.

We as fans can't control which team we want the Steelers should play against. But if we did have the choice, which team would you choose?

Personally, I rather get the Colts. They are a tough opponent despite their rough start into the season. They finished the regular season with 9 wins in a row. They also beat the Steelers in week 8 or 9 by a few points. Which means revenge factor for me is the reason why I want the Steelers to go against the Colts along with the respect the Colts are a formible opponent that cannot be underestimated.

Before I even read this thread, my belief was that we would get the Colts for some reason and after listening to the NFL network early this morning. I am now even more convinced. LT is probably a no go for the Chargers according to there reports, and I think the Ravens will beat the Dolphins, which leaves us with the Colts.

Looks like we're both wrong. The Colts were taken out by the Chargers 23-17. LT wasn't the main reason. It was 5'6 RB Darren Sproles, who ran 22 yrds down the field in the OT period to beat the Colts in SanD. Sproles proved that teams can still win games w/o one of their better players. As much as I wanted to get the Colts. Either the Steelers will meet them or the Titans will. Personally, I'm a little worry for the Titans. They currently own a 3 or 4 game losing skid against the Chargers.

The Steelers will play the Chargers on Sunday. This road cannot be underestimated and must be taken seriously. Time for the Steelers to do what they do best and come away with a win. Good luck Steelers!

Yeah, I was wrong on that prediction. The colts deserved to lose that game. I wanted the Dolphins to beat the Ravens. If we advance this week, which won't be easy, I don't want any part of the Ravens because of how difficult it is to beat a team 3 times in a season and the last win came down to a somewhat questionable play. The only good thing about getting them again means we get to stay at home, but so far the home teams are 2-2 in the playoffs.

Before we can even think about that, we have to take care of business against the Chargers who we have never beaten in the playoffs. It won't be easy at all. Rivers had the highest QB rating this season, and Sproles showed that he is ready to go if called on.

When we played earlier this season, the final score was a first at 11-10, so I think it will be a battle of field position and the score will be low.

Well, this game couldn't have started out any worse then the way that it did. Hopefully it will finish up on a better note.

Holmes ties it up with a punt return for a touchdown. Nice :D

Is there some reason why Steeler fans have to listen to Phil **** Simms every week? I don't dislike the guy or anything, I just get tired of hearing his ass every week.

Wow, we have played a stupid game on the offensive side of the ball so far. Twice we have had 3rd down and 3 and both times we have thrown for a 2 yard gain. Who the hell is calling these plays from the sideline, and to top that off we fake a punt at mid field in a game that is clearly a battle for field position. DUMB!!!!!

Big Ben has to stop being a Big Vagina and air it out on a few plays or we will be staying in Pittsburgh while the championship game is being played in San Diego.

10-7 It should still be 7-7 chalk that 3 points up as a 3 point spot from our stupid coach.

I am glad to see that they decided to open up the playbook and stretch the field. I think they need to hire me as a coach :lol:

Willie Parker is back to his former self and I for one am glad to see it. Final score 35-24 Steelers. Now comes the task of trying to beat a team for the 3rd time in the same season, which is something that will not be easy to do.

There are 2 teams left in the AFC and they both hail from the same division.

Have to find a way to get it done. With Tennessee losing they should be tasting Super Bowl with HFA. Baltimore's defense will be ready but hopefully we can keep their offense futile
