    IF and I say IF with the largest letters allowed here's my theory- no team will want to see us! Reason is simple, and IF it all falls into place the team would be healthy on both sides of the ball. Imagine a healthy O line with Ben at QB and all RB's ready along with ALL WR's including Plax. A D that has TP added back into the mix. Sounds good but this team has got to find a game to steal and get to 10-6 because I don't see 9-7 getting in. IF they limp in they will make a run .....

    I see what you're saying, but we don't scare anyone. We haven't played a solid game yet, and it's week 11 for christ sakes. Sure, we've won our share of games, but all our wins have been mistake filled and ugly. A win is a win is a win, but teams aren't scared of teams that win ugly, mistake filled games.

    You want to talk about a team that everyone is hoping misses out on the playoffs, look towards the Saints. Now there's a team that people don't want to play.

    i dont know i dont think to many teams want to see this steelers defense. they have been playing great lately and once again will probably end up number one overall again. if this team ever gets 100% i think they can go toe to toe with anybody.

    I agree! I'm not even sure you have to have TP play very down since Clark and Allen are playing so well right now. If 92 keeps progressing and guys like Heyward see more snaps this D could be somebody!

    It's a shame Ben went down when he did, both sides of the ball were starting to play great at the same time. I just hope Ben can come back feeling pretty good, we all know how tough he is but he doesn't play nearly as well when he's dinged up. If he can come back and play at a high level, I like our chances.

    Why would you assume that everyone would be healthy? Given the season so far, not just with the Steelers, but with lots of teams, they'll be lucky to dress 53 for a playoff game.

    I think the 3/4 seed will much rather face the colts/dolphins/bengals/chargers than be playing us in the first rd of the playoffs
