Closing time? Steelers looking to go on usual December run against stumbling Chargers1 min ago by blackandgoldforever (http://blackandgoldforever.com/members/blackandgoldforever)
Steelers are “11-2 in regular-season games played after Nov. 30 since 2010.” Yes, that is no coincidence. We mean business in the last stretch of the season, that’s for damn sure. Here’s a great article from Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2012/12/06/closing-time-steelers-looking-to-go-on-usual-december-run-against-stumbling/) on how the guys on the squad mentally prepare for the final spurt to the finish line.

PITTSBURGH – The message from Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin or his staff doesn’t change when the calendar flips to December.
The way it’s received by Tomlin’s players? That’s another matter.
“I think it might resonate a little bit more when you know what the picture is and the goal is,” tackle Max Starks said. “Game one obviously you don’t think ‘How are we going to do in our division? Where are we seeded right now?’ You’re 0-0. But by December you know where you’re seeded. You know what’s at stake.”

hope he does not break this line out again ...............

"We will not go gently, we will unleash hell here in December, because we have to. We won't go in the shell, we will go into attack mode, because that is what is required."

Tomlin isn't that dumb. The Steelers have actually fared well in December since that debacle.

But the Chargers have been a pretty good December team as well.

You know better than to drag out the "unleash Hell" line. Turn around. Now drop 'em....

Pretty simple task for December.... play 60 minutes full tilt every damn game, no conservative crap, and play every game to WIN !!

It will most likely be another low scoring game coming down to the last possession. Heaven forbid the Steelers crush a team.

Tomlin walks into that building like any other man.I remember he gave referance to the trophies other than the rushing titles. To me that should have been Rahards cue. Even though he was talkin about Willie.We are a hardnosed team get over it.

Leave it to you to take it so literally. So Ed, how often does it happen?

Why did the Steelers let up in the Bengals' game? Why not 56-7?
