    Guessing here, but I'd say we will be the Saturday night game vs Miami. Pitt has good tv ratings

    Miami should not be a problem for us in Pittsburgh, very worried about playing KC in KC, Brady simply own us his entire career. Our defense is so bad, they made RGIII look good today. The best way to beat Brady is constant pressure & challenging everyone on the line of scrimmage, 2 things we historically don't do well...

    We don't need to overlook the Dolphins. With Ajayi and their D it won't be a walkover. We should handle them with that said. The Chiefs are likely after that and I think we can beat them. Stuff their run game and make Alex Smith beat us. Of course I'm sure it'll be the Pats in the AFCCG and I think we can beat them to. We have to go offense against offense in that game. Both teams have decent defenses now, but better offenses. I won't be easy,but it's the playoffs. That's how I think it'll go if we make it that far and I think we're peaking at the right time. Winning 7 in a row heading into the playoffs is great!

    I will admit it won't be easy but today was a good example why I am more scared of KC then the Cheats right now. We struggle vs a mobile QB and Smith can move, Marsha can't. I also feel our pass rush is a lot different now, Dupree and JH can get to Marsha. jmo

    Damn man didn't we just finish 11-5 this season, while starting the season without one of the best players in the league due to suspension, losing our staring QB for some time and starting 3 rookies on D???? I get it we have lost games in the past that we shouldn't have but not this season, maybe the cowpie game. The Eagles killed us, we played the Cheats with our back up QB, the Fish ran all over us while Timmons was puking on the field and the Ravens were beating us 21-0. Oh and by the way 3 of them teams are playoff teams, just sayin......:cool:

    Well if we are talking about history it wasn't to long ago the Dolphins beat us at home in the snow......that damn well better not happen again. Our D has done nothing but get better every week, did we look bad today yeah but I think that was more of resting some guys and just not wanting to get anyone hurt. Speaking of that we need Gravedigger vs the Dolphins for sure.

    Admit it, you started this thread just for me :lolol:

    Be mindful that Miami runs the wide 9, remember how that worked out the last time we played them. Two of our most pitiful games came against that formation. I don't really play the "who we should beat game" seen it turned on its head too many times in this league.

    It's not real complicated. We beat Miami by at least a touchdown.

    No doubt about it this is just for you....lol :cool: Yeah I know the wide 9 and all that stuff but maybe I am just a homer but I feel when this team is on we beat anyone. This D has done nothing but improve every week since the Cowpie game, to be honest our offense has struggle more imo, Ben mostly. I have wanted the stinky fish for a rematch since we lost to them......204 yards just pissed me off. I think the fish will have no answer for Ben, Bell and AB when they run the quick hit offense like we saw in the 4th quarter vs the Ravens. jmo

    Thanks, that sounds about right for the game. I don't think I'll bet any more football games this season. I had the best and luckiest single betting day I've ever had on Sunday and it got me to where I wanted to be for my newest charity (Farm Sanctuary). They do great work to rescue and help abandoned and mistreated farm animals of all types. I won $6,000 by the Steelers winning more than 10 games this year and another $3,000 by taking the Browns and 6.5 points. I'm donating the $9.000 to them and with matching funds that becomes an $18,000 donation. If I were to bet on this game I think I would bet both the Steelers and give Miami the points and bet the over.
    I already have a bet on the Steelers to win the SB ($1,000.00 at 10-1) that I made before the season started and a $1,000.00 bet on the Pens to repeat as Stanley Cup champions at 9-1. If either or both of those win I'll be donating them to Farm Sanctuary.It's been a good year for the two charities to receive a little more donations and for me to feel good about being able to help them a little.
    When the Steelers win SB #7 it will top off a great year.

    That stinks we got put on as the 1pm game Sunday. I was hoping we would be on Saturday night or Sunday late afternoon. The Seahawks always get the prime time games and their boring to watch. Their offense is terrible and their defense isn't what it use to be. Never mind they get away with anything in Seattle and sometimes on the road. I hope Detroit thumps them.
