Also, please respond with one fearless playoff prediction.


My prediction:

For whatever reason, I can't shake the thought of an unlikely meeting between the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field for the AFC Championship.

Then last night, I had a dream that the Steelers and Titans were tied at 17 heading into overtime, so I have to go with that, however unlikely it may seem.

My gut tells me we lose to the Jags.  My heart is praying for a win.  If we do get by the Jags, I don't see us beating New England.  

However, if by some crazy chance we beat the Jags, and then New England or Indy, we won't lose.  We'll win outright.

I think we win this week solely because of Ben.  

Quite simply, aside from Ben, there is no reason whatsoever to think we even can win this week.  Our OL is a shambles.  The star RB is out.  Our starting WRs haven't played a game together in I don't know how long.  Our defense has suddenly turned into something I don't even recognize.  Our return game is nonexistant and we continue to have on and off difficulties on covering kicks.  We have a rookie HC who last experienced the playoffs when he was below the coordinator level (and that was what, 3-4 years ago?).  

We do, however, have Ben.  I think that will be the difference.  Aside from this week, unless the D suddenly remembers who they are, even with Ben playing well I don't think we can beat Indy or NE this year.

One game at a time, kids.  I'll be very happy and surprised if we win this week.  And that's as far as I can realistically look.  Not expecting much, but when I set the bar low the boys do tend to surprise me.

Agreed.

That and you can't stop Allen Rossum. You can only hope...

Ben is definitely the only chance we have of doing anything in the playoffs.  

If Ben can perform miracles like we've seen him do in the past, and all season long, we have a shot of winning a game or two.  However, our D will have to at worst, be average.  Not terrible like they have been.  If they continue to suck ass at the rate they've been sucking, I don't think even Ben can keep us afloat.  Its just asking too much from one person.  

Here's hoping though, that our defense re-locates their pride, and comes out hungry to prove the naysayers wrong.

While we're on the topic of Ben, has anyone seen that charity add that he and Rocky Bleier made cameos in?

When Roethlisberger has long hair, and has it slicked back like he does, he looks like "Future Biff" from Back to the Future II.
