Thanks for sharing Em.

The big X factor in this game could be the weather because there is a pretty good chance of rain and around 40 degrees.

Run versus run, the Steelers get slaughtered.

Very possible if williams is a no go

Thanks Gang! Good point about the weather... It'll be interesting how they're able to counter that. Passing game still has to be effective in adverse situations and IMO that favors the Steelers

I disagree. Steelers have been stingy vs the run this season. The Eifert factor is the biggest worry IMO.

[Rotorhead]

Eifert vs Heath. But we will do just fine in the short and intermediate stuff even if it is raining.

we've been susceptile. its also about teams being smart enough to take advantage of Antwon Blake. chiefs game, both ravens games, raiders, seahawks. all games where they ran well, could have embarassed the run defense a lot more if it wasnt for the free yards through the air

[ALLD]

If Ben takes what they give him we win. If Ben continually forces the ball there is a high probability we lose. Winning requires receivers other than AB to catch and hold the ball.

And the Bengals have been just as stingy. Todman and Toussiant versus Hill and Bernard? Hill and Bernard should win that every time. I won't argue with the Eifert factor.
