PrintThe Steelers were 3-0 against the Ravens last year. Can we keep that streak going and stay in the hunt for the AFC North and in plenty good shape in the Wild Card?
We'll see.
Go Steelers!

This is Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu getting knocked around by the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii yesterday...
Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.

Dixon
I think he will do great.. if they call the right game plan.. move him around.. rollouts.. lots of mendenhall.. they need to use him just like the titans have been using vince.. maybe a nice option or two

Ha...I started Dixon in my fantasy pool today.
I’m 3-8, so I figured I’d go ahead and do it.
It actually has turned out great already, seeing as DD replaced Matt Ryan in my lineup.

Moneyline on Steeler win is 3-1
Are you nuts! Steelers in primetime! Their season on the line and I can get four dollars back for every dollar I put up? It is a no brainer, my friends. They might not win, but the chances are a whole lot better than 1 in 4. Get your bets down, now.

Wild-Card
I don’t know about you guys, but to me even though there are still many scenario’s left, today’s game is pivotal, a W here would mean a lot! All the Wild-Card teams lost, Steelers didn’t capitalize last week on the Cincy loss, destiny is in their hands! Week by week, it’s always a different scenario but today they can add a cushion on that WC-spot! GO STEELERS!!!
it sure would be a good day for Logan to run one back

Nice run DD.
How about letting the guy run right away if he doesn’t see someone wide open?
Or some kind of wild cat thing? That could be fun.
arians needs to have faith in dennis
he’s going to either win the game or lose the game
but getting too conservative will definitely lose the game
Have to trust your players
Two quotes that Tomlin/Arians should heed: You play to win the game and The standard of expectations does not change.

I have a good play idea for DD
Trips bunch on the right side, shotgun snap to DD and he runs like a maniac behind the bunch. Hines and Holmes can block like crazy!

How about this
Trips to the right with Hines to the left. Run to the left. I like HInes blocking any receiver one on one but no sure about some others.

BA knows he sucks
so he was lulling the Ravens into thinking he wouldn’t use the play action (and since he sucks so bad he definitely won’t use it twice if it works the first time) and then he used it twice in a row.
Sometimes your biggest strength is knowing your weakness…in this case the weakness being that you usally suck.

Is it me or is Santonio...
looking a little slower this yr?? He didn’t have the jets to score without someone closing on him and last week he couldn’t catch that backup LB from the Chiefs….Mendy had to
Don't remember last week but I think that was just a case of showboating too early
by CarlWeathersMustache on Nov 29, 2009 9:08 PM EST up reply actions
Last week when BB threw the pick...
That reserve LB from KC ran it back 90 yds only to have Mendy catch him….the whole time Holmes was actually losing ground on him during that chase

Steelers need to go deep if they want to win this game
Bomb it and let Holmes or Wallace run under it. Running all day doesn’t win if the D can’t make the big play.
