    Add another catagory for me....I say we need to control the LOS more than anything on both sides of the ball..That's my vote..

    They haven't been getting consistent pressure in a while.
    Ike hasn't covered anyone this year.
    They have t gotten 7 instead of 3 for years now.
    They've been struggling to get turn overs
    They're not going to get a big game from the 3rd,4th, or 5th string RB.
    They can't stay healthy. Although if Gilbert is out they have a chance.
    And they're not going to control the LOS with that patchwork Oline.

    So I went with big passing game from the O. They're just going to have to turn it into a track meet and out run them.

    Since there was no "all of the above", I think if our running game clicks we can have those long, time eating, drives and keep Dalton and Green off the field. :yeehaw:

    The only way we win is by having a big day offensively. We already know what it looks like when we play against a team that has a QB that is mediocre and Dalton is much better the Carson Palmer and Hasselback. If the O doesn't score at least 40 the game will be lost as I see the Bungals putting up 34 or more like the Raiders.

    All are important, but I voted for controlling the LOS. 3 or 4 of those items can't happen if the DL and OL are getting owned tonight. Ike's hit or miss. One day he's containing Larry Fitzgerald, later he's struggling with Kenny Britt like he's Megatron. I actually don't think Ike is going to have all that bad a night tonight. I'm am nervous about the Oline, as I imagine most people are.

    The defense has to get off the field on 3rd downs and the offense needs to get 7.

    I think controlling the LOS is a 'duh' type of answer. Kind of like saying the key is to score more points than the other team. Controlling the LOS is the most basic key to winning any game. I don't think it should be an option any more than 'scoring more points' should be an option.

    You think Marvin Lewis doesnt know what the keys to winning for the steelers will be in this game? He has played against them twice a year forever, he knows what Tomlin, Haley and Lebeaus tendencies will be in this game, so the key to winning this game will be changing the tendencies we continue to employ week in and week out, in other words do something different on both sides of the ball that will surprise lewis and get them out of their game plan.....
