Who's backing in, and who is surging in?
Before you start writing excuses about injuries, the reason why we're backing in is not the point - the thing is we are. Whatever the reason we're going to back in, and then promptly get pumped in the ass by whomever we face first round.
Last I checked we haven't lost to the Broncos yet. So to say we are going to get our asses handed to us by the Broncos is pure speculation.
However let us say that we do lose to the Broncos. As others have said, even with Dalton as the QB, we are expected to lose this game. So it wouldn't be a surprise or shock.
Now the part of this that I really think is disingenuous, that is "The Steelers are surging into the playoffs, and defeated the Broncos".
The Steelers have beaten teams that have had to play their backup QBs, even with our back up QB, we played the Steelers much better than the scoreboard showed, especially when you consider that 2 of their 3 TDs were due to our young backup's mistakes. Without those 2 mistakes, their offense only got 19 points, our offense was able to generate 20 points. That's right, a mistake free football game would have resulted in a Bengals victory.
Now the Broncos. Yes even if they beat us, that doesn't mean the Steelers are the better team, since the Steelers beat them. The Bengals will be in Denver, while the Broncos had to play in Pittsburgh. We all know that playing on the road is different and usually harder than playing at home, that is why they call it "home field advantage". If the Broncos played the Steelers at home, then I think the outcome of that game is different. The Steelers don't come back to win in the 2nd half.
