    Other, need about 100 things to all work in concert to win this game. The first among them having a Vick that can complete a 5 yard throw would be nice,

    This one's too tough, but I chose pressure Palmer. Really you need to find a way to neutralize Fitz, but keeping Palmer on his back would be a good start.

    I think the key to this game is Pittsburgh's offense. I think our defense can keep us in the game, but the offense needs to step up. Get the run game going early and often. Control the clock, and control the amount of influence Vick has on this game with his potential for turnovers against a good Ariz secondary. And obviously the run game will keep our defense off the field unlike last week.

    Vick did that on the last drive against the Chargers, also on the 70 yd TD to Wheaton.

    I think the key factor is for the Steelers safeties to play deep, the Cardinals probably throw the deep ball more than any other team and they have some fast WRs. They need to sack Palmer 4-5 times.

    I was thinking thorn meant more that he needs to complete the short ones with accuracy, to set up the deep plays more. Our offense is premised on quick slants and screens - if he's not delivering those with confidence, we get one dimensional very quickly.

    Well if this was the Chargers and Monday night then you have a point unfortunately it's Sunday vs the Cardinals and his body of work includes 7 quarters of complete and total suck with maybe 3 minutes of ok.Here's hoping instead of a 60 min game it's only a 3 minute one so Vick can look good.

    The Cardinals defense ain't all that, Todd Gurley a rookie RB ran all through them for over 140 yds.

    Need to get Brown involved. Throw and complete passes down the field. This will keep extra defenders from crowding in the box.

    As long as Vick is qb I'm gonna keep my answer the same. "No Dumb Mistakes"!

    Chose other because I think there is a few things on that list that rank equally as the top factor.. Pressure Palmer, win turnover battle, and establish the running game are my top factors

    Vick is facing the best ball hawking secondary in the NFL, they picked stafford 4 times last sunday forcing caldwell to bench him, they make picks on short and long passes, they have 11 picks coming in to todays game including 3 pick sixes, how many picks will vick have today???? You can bet if vick throws balls that should be picked, today they will be picked...

    Any given Sunday. The only decent defense the Cards have played is the Rams. I would go Steelers under Cowher on offense. Run, run, run, throw it deep, run, run, and run some more. Take the air out of the football.

    Evidently we all missed the main keys:

    - Sit Vick
    - Sign a good kicker
    - Let Bryant do the rest

    The only reason vick didnt have a turnover was he only threw 4 passes for minus 6 before he was finally out of the game thank god, kudos to Butlers defense by the way and of course LJ for winning the game.....
