We talk about a "Tomlin type loss". But is this not setting up as a "Tomlin type WIN?"

    Think about it. Regular season games everybody doubts them. Opponent is good not great. Team is a home dog. Backs against the wall. There is no Brady or Mahommes. We just laid an egg.

    Tomlin teams tend to show up in these scenarios. I think we win. Might not be close.

    If the Steelers win it will be an ugly 17-16 rock fight, the Steelers don't have the talent to beat the Ravens by more than 7 points.

    These games are always settled by a FG or less. It would probably be better for my health if I would just skip watching it altogether.

    No DK really ****s them over. if they play turtle ball its over, need to be aggressive, attack the MOF, send Muth down the seem, get him more involved. Whenever they feature Muth he tends to deliver.

    Play scared, live in your fears you will lose.

    And then if they win, they should immediately do something different in the playoff to lose it. :)

    This game is going to come down to Henry vs our DL. If our DL wins this war, then all the offense needs is a TD and a couple of FGs to win the game. If Henry runs wild, then we stand zero chance, and that's even with DK and Washington in the game. We must force Lamar's arm to beat us. A lot of this will be how committed Harbaugh is to the run game as well. It's hard to beat your rival twice in a year, so my lean is towards the Ravens winning, but the Steelers certainly have a chance to win this.

    I dont care. I like a coach that takes care of business and we wouldn't be in this predicament. This team has had a bad habit of overlooking bottom feeder teams. Been happening for years.

    We’re good at backs against the wall games? Not in the playoffs seemingly.

    im sure in that case Lamar will test our corners. Not going to be easy. I think we need a strong game from AR. And it would be real nice if one of our OLB’s had a big game.

    at least the game is in Pittsburgh. That gives the steelers a slight edge. 55-45 edge.
