Insert two reasons:

Mine is if the Run Defense holds up and if it doesn't Ben better have the ball last.

Deebo plays every snap instead of Jarvis.
Everybody who was injured is good to go.

The Steelers just need to score. NE will be the only test. I'm not concerned about Miami or KC. Oakland is missing their top QB's. Their secondary is suspect too. And Houston? Eh. Not worried

KC is no joke. throw in, that the game would be in KC. would be very hard to go in their an win. That Hill kid is amazing! he can beat you receiving, running, punt return and kick return. It doesn't matter what happened earlier in the season with them. I'm sure they want us, just like we want Miami.

The OL plays as it has been the last few weeks.

The defense doesn't blow another 4th qtr lead.

We played KC in heinz. Bell had 8 ypc and Ben had as many TD passes as he had incompletions.

In Miami Ben threw 2 INTs.

good Ben shows up, we have a victory.
Bad Ben shows up, hope the D can hold long enough for good Ben to return.

They have a lot of injuries at QB/LB/S

So with that in mind we need to see two things.

1 Big plays with Antonio and Green - against backup S's.
2 O-line VS injury at LBer- Bell should be able to run, and quick passes should be available all day.

1. Defense plays with pride after what Miamis run game did to them in the regular season.
2. Give Ben the keys to the offense and run the offense like they did in the 4th quarter against the ratbirds..

if steelers win by 1 this board will implode. just saying.

A win is a win, but if you can barely beat the Phins, it doesn't scream a lot of confidence against two better teams afterwards.

So the board won't implode, but I am sure the majority are hoping for better than that.

between $2 short & ten buck two
Our offense needs to open the playbook up just a little. We need to jump out and take some of their enthusiasm away early. Our "D" can play very good at keeping points off the board. We need that to happen and NOT panic what is given between the twenties.
