2014 Steelers Playoff Run Running Thread

Not to nit pick, but the Rams lost that game by 11, not six or seven.

 

They were up 19-14 after 3.

 

One of the best things that may have happened to The Steelers this year is Jarvis Jones going down
and James Harrison returning to replace him. At 36 Harrison has been amazing

 

Steelers / Ravens going to be a war as usual. Steelers peaking at right time although
Bell injury sets them back a bit. Would have been nice if Blount was still around.

Have to admit, I was wrong about Todd Haley. He has completely transformed Steeler
offense. Big Ben now has a lot of options and his ability to extends plays is huge.

 

Ravens can't keep getting off to a slow start. Flacco needs to come up big for four quarters, not just two late drives.

 

That's where they miss Ray Rice in short passing game that helped Flacco build some momentum. Steeler
pass rush will be a problem for Ravens

I was attempting to tweak a fellow poster. I deleted it, but now that I read the new site owner's admonition, I will accept my punishment like a man, when it inevitably arrives today.

 

You can delete posts now?

 

Yes. You have to tender a valid reason, however.

 

Even with injury to Bell, I really, really like the Steelers chances at making the Super Bowl.
With Bell back they are even better.
That said, facing the Ravens w/o Bell is a scary prospect. Not because of his rushing or pass-catching ability but for pass protection against Ngata, Suggs, Mosley and the blitz packages. A 170-pound Dri Archer isn't much of a cushion to protect Roethlisberger. I think Harris will do well as a running back. But again, blitz pick up is the concern.

I think the Steelers offense can best anybody in the AFC right now.
