Games like Miami's make me the most nervous.

    Admit it or not. These are the teams that Tomlin either plays down to or simply overlooks. Add in Fitzpatrick who seems to play us fairly well and I'm sure it will be a nail biting scream at the tv fest once again.

    The major difference here though is we almost always play tough on MNF at home. Should be no different this time.

    I have more confidence when we play better competition.

    Side Note: I Hate SNF and MNF games. Do us East coasters all a favor and start these games at 7:40 PM at the very latest. Work usually sucks the next day win or lose.

    This game should be flexed. Miami has two options.. Win and throw their chance at #1 pick but giving us a loss would improve their second 1st round pick. Lose and stay in the #1 sweepstakes. I could really see them trying to win and us expecting they want to lose and we lose the game.

    Fitzpatrick rarely plays an average game, he is usually really good or really bad. He is 36 now so hopefully he doesn't have to many good ones left in him.

    This would be a bad game if the defense was not the issue. Thankfully it is not. The issue now turns on the offense.


    How ready will they be?!?!

    Considering it’s the only game Miami would win anyway...I see them going for it. Not that them going for it should scare anyone.

    Waiting for the announcement it's flexed tomorrow. That's their last chance I believe.

    Exactly. Not nervous at all. If we lose to Miami we could finally put the season to bed. It will answer all the questions we have about how good we are.

    Based on the teams, it should be flexed. Based on the Steelers ability to draw an audience, I suspect it will stay put. It’s all about the dollars.

    If they lose to Miami at home during prime time then MT should be escorted directly out town. Put him on the Miami flight and tell them congratulations you're now the proud owners of a new pretend to be secondary coach.

    I wouldn't say Fitzpatrick plays us well. He is 0 and 6 against the Steelers. I think his numbers are something like 9 TD's and 6 INT's. Lets not forget, Miami is a very bad team. Steelers will roll.

    Thursday, Saturday and Monday games are not eligible to be flexed. Plus if a game is to be flexed the have to give a minimum 12 day notice except week 17 which is 6 days notice.
    Huge fail on your part.

    Agreed, I normally am scared of these games however we are usually a better team when we play these kind of games. We are fighting for our playoff lives after a very bad start I am pretty confident we roll these guy no problem. Lets see Fitzerception at QB, Dolphins tanking for Tua and did I say Fiterception at QB???????? Not worried bring it on.........

    I understand the paranoia. But in this case this team is against the wall. It should be a blowout. But...

    Not scoring in the 4th and letting a slew of points to be scored in the 4th best be rectified.

    Lose and its another loss. Tomlin already has built in excuses for this season.

    My inner Jim Mora just came out, Playoffs? :lolol:

    And thanks to the board constable for pointing out in the most tactful way the flex schedule.

    I was thinking it was Sunday night. Dang, I’ll be in a board meeting Monday night. Oh well, I’ll find it on my laptop and hope no one asks me any questions.

    I’ll be watching the game. I’m hoping no one asks me questions about the board meeting. ;)

    During a hockey playoff game, during a board meeting, I thought I had the sound turned off multiple ways. Then I found a link for the game and as soon as I clicked it a new window opened and there was Mike Lang loudly calling a Crosby goal. :facepalm:
