The Steelers will win their first playoff game IF

[ZonaBurgh]

1. Score more points
2. The other team scores less points

I think you might be on to something here.

1. They play to win the game from the opening kickoff rather than playing a conservative not to lose gameplan.
2. They put the Dolphins away and don't allow them to hang around if we have a 3, 6, or 10 point lead.

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.



Salute the nation

I don;t think they need to open up the playbook, but look at the offense we run in the no huddle/hurry up offense. It works. Every week when utilized we march up and down the field.

The team that takes the biggest advantage of the other teams injuries will win imo.

With our deficiencies on DLINE, they should run run and then run some more. If their OLine can push our DLine around like they did last time, it's gonna be a long day.

On the other hand, Miami will be missing both starting safeties. Over the top in the middle of field should see some chances. Hopefully Haley and Ben take a couple shots there.

It's 100% guaranteed

1) Good Ben shows up.
2) Bad Ben stays home.

Any way you want to slice it its all about Ben and has always been about Ben who is the leader and catalyst of this football team. If he is on and lights it up, its over. His excellence of play can overshadow a mediocre defense but if he struggles, then we're in trouble.

Tackle instead of going for the highlight reel hit and swarm the ball on defense.

Spread the ball around on offense and don't allow them to key on one guy.

1. Control the line of scrimedge (both sides of the ball).
2. Win the turnover ratio.

1.) Prepare as if they are underdogs. With a healthy team, playing at home in the cold against the Fins with a shaky QB situation, the Steelers could feel overconfident. They don't seem to prepare/play well in those situations.

2.) Stop the run.
