Once again Tomlin leaves his star players in too long in a blowout and one gets injured. Hopefully Ben is 100% against the Chiefs.

Stillers presently favored by 1. Place your bets.

Bring on the Pats and place your bets.

Pats favored by 4.5. I expect that line to move to Pats being favored by 6-7.

So why play at all? Why not just forfeit? There are no such things as upsets?

The Patriots are beatable, my friend. The only team that can in the conference is OURS!
At least Bell set the Stillers post season rushing yards record

Go Falcons!

Stillers season over.

Unfortunately, everything I said about this matchup has been proven true.

Go Falcons!

At least Bell will be fresh for the pro bowl

He and Brown can talk more about how great they both are.

Depends on Bell's injury, though. I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did, although he did get suspended for 4 games to start the season or he'd have probably been out awhile ago.

The inferiority complex of the Steelers when they face that team is mind-blowing. The Texans almost beat them, the Ravens beat them a few years ago, but when the Steelers play them it's a record day for Brady and a breakout game for another no-name receiver that Tom and Bill will turn into a HOFer.

Sucks for the fans but the team deserved to lose this game. Punting from the opposing 39 when you are down in the second half? Twice with first and goal and 3 points to show for it? Zone defense against Brady when he chews it up every time? Pathetic showing, Steelers deserve to be sitting at home in two weeks.

And just plain outcoached.

Thinking you're going to go into Foxborough with the same game plan that's worked on inferior teams just isn't realistic. While the Pats are just plain better, the gameplan certainly has to change for a shot to beat them.

The Pats blow out Pittsburgh bigger than Pittsburgh blew out the Dolphins, and Belichick leaves his starting QB in for the whole game. That guy must be stupider than Tomlin...

"stupider than Tomlin"? He's definitely smarter than Tomlin, but he might be less arrogant. While it makes no sense to leave your qb in, just ask Jack Del Rio, it's tough to imagine any other coach calling a pass play at the end of a blowout like against the Dolphins.

Report is that Bell was hurt prior to the Pats game. At least he stayed in to beat Franco's record last week.
