I like our chances against the Chargers. Of all the teams in the AFC playoffs, I think they're the easiest draw, even over the Dolphins. Throw in the fact that LT isn't close to 100% ( not that he'd do well against our D anyway ) and Gates' ankle is still hurting and it looks good for us.

They played us tough here this fall, but I still think we'll come out with a W.

Gene Collier had a great stat on TV last night. Since Heinz field has opened, we have had 6 home playoff games. In those games, 7 touchdowns have been scored against us while our defense was OFF the field. Interceptions returned, punts blocked, punts run back, fumbles, etc. To me, that's an amazing stat.

So if we take care of the ball and don't give up the big play on special teams ( which, aside from our punter, is the most improved area of our team this year ), we should be ok.

I'll be there in section 109, enjoying the fine Pittsburgh January weather! :)

I think the Ravens/Titans game is almost a coin flip. They're both solid teams. We didn't bring our A-game against the Titans and the game was still relatively close. The Ravens are always a battle. But if I could have my choice, I'd rather play the Ravens AGAIN here at Heinz Field. Flacco is ok, but I think we can shut their offense down and get the win if we play them.

But first thing is first - let's beat the tar out of the Chargers and that jagoff Philip Rivers!!!

:flipoff:

Our Safety manager from the plant where I work headed to Pittsburgh last Wednesday - I believe he could be called a BIG Steelers fan !!

On the other hand, my daughter's next door neighbor has shown that he is a big Chargers fan again this year... of course, she lives in San Diego !

Steelers looked pretty tight! Pulled the WIN off!

**CobraII** · 01-12-2009, 10:55 AM

The 8 minute drive to open the second half was a thing of beauty, true Steeler football, the best the offense looked all year. I hope we see more of it this season!
