We gotta tackle. We tackled VERY well against Miami for most of the game. I was surprised by it after, well, the past.
Hill will get some balls. The Bachelor will get some balls. But so long as we keep the runs after catch/contact to a minimum we should hold their offense in check.
All this talk about Alex Smith running: he don't want to mix it up with our linebackers and he knows it. **** around and get McCoyed or Moored.

I can't find where I saw that +52 stat now but I do recall it went back to 2013 when they were very good (#2 in NFL at +18). So based on your numbers that's +44 over last 4 seasons.
2013 was 18 so plus the 26 would be 44
2012 was a -24....so 44 over the last 4 seasons is the closest you will get

Let Mr. Smith meet Mr. Dupree
Don't worry, I'm setting up a buffet for him at 12:30. That should keep him busy for a few hours

Reid is undefeated in the playoffs after a bye. Just one more record we get to break this season.
playoffs is such a small stat due to minimal appearances, although he is undefeated there.

He's never had to play the Steelers after a bye. I feel bad for him...

Don't worry Coolie, Ayers will do great and Hill will take pointers.
You sir win the "next man" up award for doing your part in this victory. (Falco awarded game buffet)

The NFC sucked whenever Reid was earning bye weeks in the playoffs with the Eagles so not surprised he managed to win first playoff game back then.
They were historically bad in 2012. That was the year they fired Haley. We played them and I recall Tomlin saying something along the lines of "they are not a bad team, they just turn the ball over all the time."

Simple! Good Ben must show up for this game. So goes Ben so goes the Steelers, as simple as that. He's the catalyst of this football team and that's the way it goes. Next, Haley must call a good game with a balance of run and pass and LevBell must have a solid game rushing and receiving. It would be an added bonus to have Green available but don't count it. James and Gimble will need to step up.
Control their punt returns by not letting Tyreek beat you. This facet of their game is dangerous and could be the back breaker against us.
KC offense does not scare me. Cover Kelcie and take him away from Smith and don't let Smith scramble.

Our defense is much better now than when we first played, except not having Heyward, but Hargrave is playing great. Then we substituted Harrison and Dupree for Jones and Moats, that's a huge upgrade, and Burns and Davis start in place of Gay and Golden as well.

Wasn't that the year they had their first regulation time lead against ANYONE in week 10 when they faced us?

It's become a joke as to how many BAD teams we have made look good. I think you may be right in your staement. I Remeber a game against Houston where they had like 49yards of offense and still beat US. As for game plan against KC, PHYSICAL 1st and foremost. Aggressive play calling on our part. EVERY WR needs 3" of stick-um on their hands as we can not have drops. I don't care if you have broken fingers or not, NO DROPS. REMIND B EN THAT HE CAN AUDIBALIZE OUT OF PLAYS, just not every play. Physical again. ALSO remind every STEELERS fan you see at the game to Remeber to be quiet, when the STEELERS are on offense. REALLY do !!!!
Salute the nation
Get an early lead and keep the crowd quiet.

I disagree. I think our defense and our running game have evolved to the point where Ben could have a bad game, but we could win the war in the trenches. So long as he has less than 3 turnovers we should win this game even if Ben is otherwise less than average.

I think we may be able to get away with "average" Ben against KC. But we will need "good" or "Great" Ben vs. New England or in Houston

Bring the action.....
On defense........Look we need to at least closely match the KC 'D" & bring a vaunted defense. Disguise our blitzes and bring pressure...Get em off the field and give our big guns the ball
On offense.........Play like we have under 5 minutes left and we are down by 10.....Push the envelope & do not play conservative.....Play hyper-aggressive and get them winded....We will get a couple of picks....So what....the Killer Bees will more than make up for it....

Keys to victory.
1 ) Establish the Run. Once it's going it will be easier to pass. Our OL and Bell are at the top of their game, and with Nix and Hubbard as extra blockers, hard to stop!
2 ) Tight coverage in the middle of the field. Kansas City has good backs and Tight Ends. They do not have top end Wide Receivers or throw it deep often.
3 ) Be no worse than -1 in the turnover department.
4 ) Prevent big plays on special teams with solid kick coverage.
5 ) Do not get too conservative with the lead
6 ) Manage timeouts properly
I like our chances!
