I really have no idea what to make of PIT.  One week they are the best team in the AFC, the next the look like they are going into the off-season holding a Top 10 draft pick.

Officiating is a big thing for the Steelers.  Their OL and DB's are complete garbage.  If the zebras "let them play" and they can grab and hold like they did against us, they're pretty tough.  If they can't hold, they can't pass pro good enough to get those explosive offensive plays and their secondary gets cut to ribbons.  

Reality is, though, when they need wins down the stretch, the refs will swallow their whistles.
