Its Official: Steelers Vs Bengals Wild Card

This year it's your starting QB which just so happened to be having an mvp type season.  These are not excuses, they are realities.  

Now the losses to the Jets in 2001 and  san Diego in 2013 are another story altogether. 

Regardless of whether the QB is out or not, we have a better team. Better RBs, better o-line, weapons are a push, and our defense is worlds better. Plus we're at home.

All those things easily make up for the QB advantage the Steelers have. Honestly Ben was pretty bad against us this year anyway.

Last year I let it slide some. Green, Eifert, MLJ, Andre, Burfict and several others all out, Michael Johnson in Tampa, plus Atkins wasn't himself. We were on the road.

This year's circumstances are wayyy better than last year's.
