Berm, you have a football mind.

I like the optimism from the crowd. Unless we get 3 turnovers and capitalize on all I'm not optimistic.

Tomlin is going to pull a tomlin.

I we both hope this is wrong, we need to start from the 1st possession and score a touchdown. We are very long overdue in this regards.

If they were to open up the offense, do things a little different…….. it’s possible.

Baltimore has a great run defense, start Warren and go up tempo / pass intermediate and over the middle. Screens / Flat areas as well will slow that defensive rush.

Make them have to think, instead of just 8-9 in the box.

Like many here, it is hard to keep HOPE, but we can harbor HOPE and optimism regardless of those around us.


Salute the nation

He hasn’t played all season, I want him to play but also realize he probably won’t and if suited up will be very low contribution as his snap count would be near non-existent unless injury driven.

The bigger concern would be “why not include Mike Williams into the actual game plan”, and actual pass to him……….

I think we only need 2 apples and we cannot give any away.

The weather favors us and a the song goes, "I got a feeling oooo oooo, that (Saturday) night is gonna be a good, good night"!!!

Per ESPN, Russ is our "reason for hope" in this game and the defense is our "reason for concern".

Hard to argue, Wilson is batting 563 in the playoffs. The defense is winless, and have given up HISTORIC points over the last how many playoff appearances?
If they give Tomlin credit for not a losing season, Wilson deserves the same for a winning playoff record.

Cam could be diagnosed with the gout - big fella will be on the field!!!

I love the new toys that could be in play! Add Holcomb to that ILB mix and we've, oops, the Steelers could unlock some very aggressive defensive schemes. Having Jackson back will be huge as well!

George better grow up and play like a man.

My problem with Warren is ball security. Love his grit, heart and speed but please hold on to the ball!

We're going to need to rely on all 3 backs to make plays. Running between the A & B gaps needs to be minimized.

Target their bum DB and make Hamilton have to make decisions.

That is all. Carry on...

"I see and agree. We have incorporated an identity that prescribes us to utilize the least turnover efficiency while also embracing that which allows us to move the football on first down via location and identity by the personnel who see the defensive integrity from the neck up."
/Mike Tomlin

so instead of running on first down 87% of the time, we'll call a draw on first down.

brilliant.

George is the big question mark. You know very well the Ravens will **** with him non-stop. It's not what they do,but how you handle it.

I think he could use a good sports psychologist.

Against Lamar they don't have to get there they have to keep him in the pocket but make him feel the pressure. It is a mush rush that has been very effective against him. When you come with reckless abandon he WILL make you pay.

He is a warrior…
But he is dealing with the flu..
If indeed the flu and not a virus.. his strength and stamina will be a serious question mark on Saturday. But Cam is you know … one of those rare breed of players.
But I’m still concerned. We absolutely need a 100% 97.

The pressure is ALL on the Ravens. There is no doubt about that. Nobody expects anything out of the Steelers. If things get tough in this game do the Ravens start to press, Lamar thinking "not again?"

Hairball sometimes tries to be too smart by half, he's like Shades in that regard.

" If Roman feels he can get on a moving train and contribute then we welcome and will appreciate his efforts, though practice availability will dictate game time availability.....obviously."

Roman Wilson energized by Coach T's words gets on the train assigned to the offense leaving to Baltimore Friday.
