Ben kicks *** coming off the bench, thus avoiding the dreaded "rusty" return-from-injury game in week 12.

And after watching Seattle's defense against the Cardinals tonight, it doesn't seem like too scary of a matchup anymore.
 
I think the Steelers opportunistic defense can create some fumbles against Marshawn Lynch because of his running style.

They've lost something this year. They don't generate much pressure and their secondary is suspect. Offense is disjointed too.

Which is not to suggest that we will steamroll them ... but they are beatable.
 
Seattle wouldn't have even been in the game were it not for a pressured Palmer Give-Away-athon. Made it less of a yawner.

We should be just fine.
 
They haven't recovered from that Unger trade....that line is horrible now and Graham Is a non-factor. Until he plays against our LBs and S who wont cover for ****.

Did you catch Michael Bennett? He'll eat Wallace alive the Steelers are going to have to gameplan for that guy. He was crazy good vs the Cards, the Steelers don't need him in Ben's face all night.

Kam Chancellor is the hardest hitting SOB in the league, Sherman and Thomas are outstanding players, and their unit still gets after the QB. Throw in the fact that you can't hear a damn thing when that building gets rocking and I see very few scenarios where we go in there and win. We just let Manziel pass for close to 400 on us!! Are they down from years past? Most definitely, but winning a game there is still in my opinion the hardest road win in the NFC.
 
Pittsburgh's defense must be sound in their tackling, Seattle's skill position players are always fighting for yards and breaking tackles. Our defense has to set the tone this coming game
 
With the bye week travel out there a day, maybe two early, then not have the travel fatigue issue.

I think so too. I think one of our LB's will knock the skittles out the guy. I can see the Steelers having a big game
 
mark down.......Steelers will win.

I want Brown steal Shermans lunch money. get 'em AB!!!!!!!!!!
 
It could start to get interesting if the Bengals lose next week to the Cards and the following week the Steelers win. Then a visit from the Rams...

If only the Browns could get their **** together for 1 division win... Just one.

The Entire division could come down to the rematch game.

I can dream dammit!

They have 5 losses on the season, no matter your love for them. They aren't the same team as of past.


Are they capable of beating the Steelers? sure.

As the Steelers are capable of beating them.


Because who they are I don't think the team will play down to them.....


which means I like the Steelers odds of pulling out a W .

Carson Palmer had his way with the Seahawks' defense the other night, after historically struggling against them, so that's a good sign for Ben and the Steelers. Nobody steamrolls them in Seattle; I just believe this is a much more winnable game than I thought it might be when the schedule came out.

Yeah, I caught Michael Bennett. Seems he couldn't help stop the Cardinals from gaining 450+ yards and putting almost 40 points on the board.

Yes, hopefully Tomlin will take a more intelligent approach to the team's travel arrangements this time around, as opposed to the Vikings game in London.
 
If the line shows up and plays good we can win this game. It's all on the line. If Ben gets time he can shred any defense.

If they play like crap Ben could possibly be back on the IR.

Or he gets impatient and he throws a couple picks.

I pray he is healthy and I think it's time for a big win from Ben.

We may get healthy at the right time and be playing our best football when it matters.

Last few years this team played good down the stretch and if we peak at the right time??

Who wants to see this offense hitting its stride in January??
 
To win a Superbowl, you don't have to be the best team. But you do have to be the best team in January.
 
Seattle has mostly been stinking up the joint this year.
 
I'm picking against us in this game. We always suck bad on west coast trips.
