They dug their own grave and we must live with the consequences. It will be a nail-biter from here on out and we could end up missing the post-season by one game.

It's hard to believe watching Oakland and Tennessee's recent performances and coming up with the brain-power to wonder how we lost to those embarrassments.

Jesus, we just don't have control. It was our defense breaking down in the 4th QRT early in the season and when they are finally playing like champs, the offense sputters into a downward spiral.

Feels like the end of last season but with much less hope.

A 100% healthy this years team is better than a 100% healthy last years team. We were really clicking before ben went out. Haleys system works great here but ben is the biggest piece of the puzzle. Something tells me if we get healthy and makes the play offs, there would be no tebow miracles to knock us out. We have probably the best defense in the league and once our O is healthy watch out cause if we make the play offs the season starts over I think we would have a good chance of beating ANYONE in the AFC. I could see A team like San Fran beating us though, even if we are healthy.

Key is to qualify in the post-season. We literally have to play PERFECT football from here on out. Even though the defense is playing TOP CALIBER, their simply going to have to come up with the turnover in the most opportunistic times (and the refs have to SEE it this time)

That said, it tickle's me how important we are to Ravens fans. Over watching their board, you'd think this is their season and that important note will always be the reason why their petty little hearts will break at the end of this season. Their not going anywhere whether they beat a Charlie-led watered down Steelers team or not!

No, you bought a ticket to watch the Steelers. If you're not going to root and support the whole team, give me your tickets, we don't need you.

well to be honest, I'm a season ticket holder and I drive up 6 hours from Richmond. I take my 2 older kids to 1 game every year. It is going to be the Chargers. If Ben doesn't play, I may give those seats to my dad and roll up with the kids for Cincy. It's a bigger game and kids will want to see the Steelers with Ben. It just makes for a more enjoyable game for the kids if the offense is clicking, plus I always try to get them to a game I think we'll win.

I don't consider myself a bandwagon fan by the way.

I've already accepted defeat this week so I won't be disappointed. Hopefully we somehow pull out the W anyway but I'm not in the least bit expecting it.

I just hope so bad Ben comes back healthy at some point and we can beat them in the playoffs, I'm fucking tired of losing to them especially when we only have half a starting lineup and they act like they beat the real Steelers.

Bandwagon fan my A$$. I'm clearly going to the game and I'm going to cheer the Steelers on regardless. A tear may come down my cheek when renegade comes on. If you were buying tickets in September and it was your 2nd game ever at Heinz field and you were driving 4+ hours to get there you would want to see the Steelers at their best too. Give me a break you douche
