                   lost to Colts in OT on the road
                   lost the next week to Jets at home
                   must play at New Orleans and at Houston,
                   both fighting for playoff lives
                   may not have home field advantage for long

                lost HUGE to the Steelers at Arrowhead

                     Lost to the Steelers

                        that's what the playoffs are for

                        give us one more week, that's all we ask

                        Yesterday's loss first of year to now
                        sub .500 team; others to Bills (10-4), Packers (8-6)
                        and Browns (7-7)
>               - will probably lose in first game they play
                        Have two more at home to try and play two more at home.
                        will play inspired football.
                        Green due back off of suspension adds a new threat to
                         the 'O' -- was Bubby's favorite target last year.

     Now that the AFC Central division has been assured (thank you Pack),       locking up a pair of divisional home playoff games -- you remember these from
the seventies, don't you?  QB slides on wet, frozen turf for a 17 yard gain,
opponent freezes yin-yang off, streakers race around 3RS, impressing the
visitors.  Not to mention

A. It's a playoff game
B. Everyone knows what goes best with the playoffs at home in Pittsburgh - 

           THE TOWEL IS COMING BACK!
           I CAN ALREADY FEEL ITS POWER HEALING O'DONNELL!
           THEY'VE GOT ONE WRAPPED AROUND HIS WOUNDED LEG!
           THERE'S FOSTER WEARING THE "TERRIBLE FAN" OUTFIT!
           HE'S GETTING HIS SECOND WIND, HEALING ALL HIS ACHES!

           WITH THE POWER OF THE TERRIBLE TOWEL AND COWHER POWER
           ON THE LOOSE IN PITTSBURGH, ALL OTHERS SHALL FEAR!
