Next week

OK, we've had a pretty good season, but next week everyone is 0-0. We need to contain their running and I think we pull it off and head to New England.

 

Agreed. I don't think Tebow has experienced anything close to the Steeler Defense yet - so I like our chances. Then - I think if Ben is healthy, we have a really good shot at the Patsies - setting up a showdown with the Rats. It's not an easy road, but if Ben can continue to get better, I think the Steelers are pretty scary over the next 3 weeks.

 

Is it safe to assume Mundy starts next week?

 

Steelers should beat the Broncos. The Bangles will upset Houston and that would leave Pittsburgh headed to Baltimore...

 

If we win and the Bengals win won't we play the Ravens?

 

Yes

 

Dilfer was just saying that he had an injury like Ben's and it really doesn't get better 'until March.' It's gonna be tough to win out without a mobile Ben.

 

Yup.

 

True - but he looked better this week than in San Fran. He says he's 60% - wonder what he'll be next week. I agree it will be awfully difficult to make it through the playoffs if Ben can't get some mobility - but we're in the dance. Time to rely on the defense - and get some game management from Ben. We don't need a hero - just someone to get us some touchdowns.

 

Good points. It's hard to gauge Ben's performance today with the awful wind conditions.
