The weather, injuries, and home field appear to be in our advantage

The weather should favor us this week with warm weather dolphins coming to town.

Injuries are in our favor too. Safety Bacarri Rambo and CB Byron Maxwell don't look like they are going to play, and RB Ajayi is nursing a shoulder.

Home field is in our advantage because you really do need to know our turf.

Injuries on our side are a little troubling because Tuitt is coming back off a knee, and Matthews is nursing an ankle.

It looks like our D-line can be exploited, and their secondary can be exploited.
Their key is a banged up Ajayi, and our key is a healthy Ben.

If Ben is on, this one could be over by halftime. Missing Rambo and Maxwell is a huge loss for them, even if they play they won't be in top form.

 

Home field is a question mark. Apparently our fans like to make noise when our offense has the ball in the red zone.

 

And no tannehill either

 

I still remember Week 14 of the 2013 Season. Weather means nothing.
At least it won't be raining.

 

If it snows then I am expecting a HUGE game from Bell...
Hell either way I am expecting a big game from him.. He Ben and Brown together for the first time in playoff history.. You know he'll be motivated!

 

I'm pretty sure that game was 2007ish, not 2013.

 

That game in the snow a few years back is not the same team the Steelers will put on the field on Sunday. Wasn't that the year they opened 0-4? Like I said, not the same team. This year's group would never lose 4 in a row.

 

Doesn't Tomlin like to unleash Hell in January?
........or is that only in December?

 

that's only December

 

Yes they did - I remember Brown stepping out of bounds on a TD run. stayed in bounds and win the game....if I remember correctly

 

You will know early in the game if we are in trouble or not. If Ben is getting time to throw, we will win. If they keep getting pressure on him, it will be a long struggle.

 

Squeaky noise showing up everywhere.

 

Yeah, I was talking about the 2013 snow game.
I just remembered that they also played the Dolphins on that awful Monday night game when the field was trash in 2007. Seems like they happen to have some interesting recent weather history with the dolphins

 

no team that has lost 4 in a row has ever won a superbowl.

give up already sheesh

 

...........yet!

 

This Steelers team is far different then that one that took on the Dolphins way back when.


The "Big Three" has improved substantially; much improved defense as a whole to boot. If anything, this is the biggest reason, in my opinion, why Pittsburgh is equipped much better for a deep playoff run this year than they were in the previous two.


Artie, Sean, and Hargarve are the keys just as much as the "Killer Bs" are in spite of their lack of NFL seasoning (not talking about playoffs). They will be tested.. but they will be ready.

 

What if the Steelers play the Packers this year?

 

Crank up that running game, We will be OK.

 

they always play us tough. i'd almost hope it would warm up some for our O. it is what it is though. just win baby.

 

The cold shouldnt effect Miami they are used to playing in cold/snow vs their division.

 

Here is the all time steeler/dolphin series record since the afl merger, home and away and playoffs:

Um.... except or the fact that we actually...um...did...lose four in a row this year. But I digress. LOL!

 

Plus Suh was in that Nike commercial from a year or so ago and it snowed like crazy in that commercial. I bet he got used to it shooting that commercial. I bet he also tried to tear Ben's ACL in the dressing room as well. But anyway.
