Next year he should be a force with those wide recievers. Steelers got a young team and should be good next year!

I think my Bears will be a better team next year as well... If Grossman doesn't get hurt again that is. *knock on wood*

Dont forget the bengals with palmer maturing...

there are gonna be some great games in the future between the bengals and steelers

Just curious...

I don't watch football a ton...why did they just kick the ball like that...short little kick on the ground?

Great season by the Steelers though. I don't think anyone (even in Pitt) would've picked them to get this far with a rookie qb. They should be good for a while.

Now...Do I drive to Jacksonville? :) LOL I think the 2ft of snow might slow me down

Yup, you take a way the stupid turnovers and it would have been a good game.

Should be interesting to see the Pats without Weiss though

To allow the Special Teams unit more time to tackle the returner to avoid a TD return.

Atleast you won't have to deal with snow in sunny FL even though its cold here at the moment.

Thanks for the GL next year for the steelers.

I'll be back with them next season! Bengals do have a team devoloping there too. They are gonna be good too. The AFC is just becoming a force with talent. Pats, Steelers, Indy, Chargers, Jets < thats a team to watch too, Bengals ... the list can go on haha

Hopefully 2 weeks gives Richard Seymour enough time to heal up...he is a top 3 DL in the league.

Oh yeah, this was all w/o Ty Law and Poole. The young CBs are doing alright :)

The Eagles will be a much more difficult challenge, I think. Let's hope Brady can handle their blitzes and for Dillon to be able to get 100+ yards.

Good game. Pitt could have rolled over, but they didn't quit. And the BUS, while not himself, probably upgraded to a small pickup in the 2nd half, while Corey Dillon wasn't the factor that won this game. Am I the only one who predicted such a high score?
