1. At least we drew an opponent that McCarron has played and will have film on.
2. After jumping out to a 7-0 lead early, the Steelers only beat us 26-20 in the last 3 quarters. That's with McCarron fresh off the bench.
3. The Steelers have looked bad the last 2 weeks.
4. DeAngelo Williams is looking like he won't play.
5. Pig Ben has 1 TD to 4 INT's against our defense this year. Antonio Brown has been limited to 134 yards in both games combined.
6. Dalton is optimistic he'll play against the Steelers this week. (Just heard this on SNF pregame!)
Your forgetting one important point. The Marvin Lewis factor. This guy has yet to prepare any of his teams for the playoffs. Do you honestly believe this year he gets it right? I don't, simply because he would've figured it out by now. We will get out coached yet again, and fans will feel disgusted for yet another offseason.*
