...who we just defeated for the 3rd time.

the cardinal defender who has the greatest edge is darnell dockett. he may even get a sack or 2 on ben (t. suggs at 45% healthy did).

doesnt matter though. the steelers offense draws up a few sack plays every game just to keep the defense off guard.

Maybe right now, but the Cardnals offense is way better! DRC is just a rookie. You should be able to have some fun with him.

SCREW THE MEDIA!!!

Let them have their media hyped cinderella story of the year. They can nut hug Fitz, Warner, Whiz, Grimm, and the rest of the cardinals for the next week for all I care.

But when it's all said and done - they better stand the freak up and show the respect due this squad of Men of Steel!!!

They usually draw up a false start play or two so Stapleton and Kemoatu can have their names called.

The media is making it out to be that the Steelers have no chance. They won't be able to stop the Cardinals pass game and they won't be able to run or pass on the Cardinals D.

LOL! I always wondered if Ben's sacks were by "design".

Seriously though, I am not going to take the Cards lightly on offense OR defense. They say "the trend is your friend" and the Cards have been on somewhat of a roll as of late. I couldn't be more excited.

The Steelers have been a playoff contender for quite a while and are set to become the first NFL team with 6 rings, so we're cast as the "bad guys" in their eyes and in the eyes of many non-Steelers fans.

Doesn't bother me in the least. We know how talented our Steelers are, that they beat the odds this season with that absolutely brutal schedule and are headed into the Super Bowl next Sunday. What the doofuses don't get is that the more they hate on the Steelers, the better the locker room fodder and the fiercer our boyz will be when they take the field next Sunday.

Other than Adrian Wilson, do the cards even have a D?

This ^^^

Plus (No pun intended Card fans, I am very glad you guys are getting to experience this wonderful feeling as fans) the cards are still the same team that nobody gave a chance to be here. We are still the same team with the toughest schedule in the history of the NFL. They are gonna build the story up, but when it is all said and done we will enjoy our 6th. This Steeler team is just to good and want it to much. Let em talk and hate, that is another great thing about being a Steeler fan, cause haters HATE a winner. And the Steelers are winners.

Remember in 05 when Sean Salisbury Steak from ESPN hated on the Steelers all season long? This fool never won a damn thing as a player but yet got paid to tell eveyone why the Steelers sucked soooo bad. I loved it, that idiot didnt know what in the hell he was talking about and the Steelers proved it for him. He hated on the Steelers real hard after they lost thier 3rd consecutive game in the middle part of the season. I kept telling all the haters at work that "Big Ben will get healthy in time and we will win the SB. Because with a healthy BB we are the best team in the NFL." I love all the hate, Bring it on..

STARTING ON THE OTHER HAND
GO STEELERS

I think the media has to hype the game for the Cards because they know its a disadvantage for them.

Cardinals will not present anything this offense hasnt seen already. Multiple looks on the Dline-- we got that 3 times from Baltimore. Gap control and run blitzing......got got that multiple times from Baltimore, Tennesee, Philly and NY......stacking 8 in the box and daring Ben to beat them......saw that too from San Diego. Exotic coverages and a 3-4 scheme similar to our own... saw that in Foxboro. Its all in how we handle it.

So, you see the Cardinals likely wont present anything we havent seen. Theyre speed cant be any greater than what Baltimore or even the Texans (whom are young still) exhibit. They intensity wont rival anything we havent seen from Tenn or Baltimore. (Baltimore brings out the best in this group of athletes and is the perfect tune up for a World championship contest)

If Ben just makes plays like hes done recently we will win. He's gonna get pressure--thats a given. Its not like he likes to stay in the pocket anyways.
