If the defense continues to play like they have, they shouldn't have a problem. Defense wins championships, offense wins games. Hasn't that been said by someone before?

When I was in Pittsburgh early this year I had the chance to talk to the Events Coordinator for the Steelers. He told me that when they gave Big Ben his new contract, the front office had to restructure alot of peoples salaries within the franchise, to come up with the money. Doesn't seem to me that they are protecting the franchise QB = investment. How many times he been sacked in the last 3 years?...... almost 150 times I think.
I just think that it was a real bad decision and missed opportunity for Ben to get healthy. We shall see in 2 weeks.
I just think that it is a waste of the best Steeler Defense since the Steel Curtain, not to do all you can to make the offense more productive.

Agreed,

I think in the last off-season, Tomlin and the rest of the staff really focused on bulking up the defense. Most of the early picks were for the defense and I think that it has taken fruit for this year with resounding success, but the offense was neglected. A big hole I believe was left by Alan Faneca who left for the Jets, I think the offensive line has suffered this year as a result of that. This off-season, Tomlin and the rest of his staff, needs to look for some really solid offensive line guys- the team needs people who can give Big Ben time to throw. That's the real problem here, that and Big Ben needs to get comfortable in the pocket again. Every time I watch him he looks like Ichabod Crane with the Headless Horseman coming after him. Good QB's are hard to find (ask Da Bears!), and the Pittsburgh better take better care of theirs.

Great game!! I was a little nervous in the first half, but second half was solid.

Bring on the RAT-BIRDS!!!!!!!!

The offensive line did a GREAT job. Two more games like that and we'll have a ring on the other hand.

Was actually rooting for the Steelers, which made me feel a little like

I loved watching San Diego lose though. There aren't many players I dislike more than Rivers.

Congrats, Steeler Nation.... Glad to see at least one home team win this weekend.

As for me, I spent all day yesterday doing two very un-fun things...

1. Served as a pallbearer at my grandmother's funeral, and

2. Had a nasty flashback to the divisional round of 2000... I was in Nashville for that game, too (although, obviously, I didn't attend the game yesterday)
