1. We have a much better record there than we do here. 2. Like others have said, everybody will be like "well they didn't have Bell", it's early, etc. 3. It's not like we're a struggling team going 8 - 8 and just can't make the last step. We've been there and can't win in the post season.

Mark me down with the guys that say a post season win is the only statement game possible for this team now. We've done everything but !

I would have to disagree just on how last season ended with Pittsburgh.. if we go out play a overall hard fought but smart game and stay under control and win in their House with the amount of pressure and tension thrown on top,, i would say this is a statement game for those reasons.. besides, I want a bye in the playoffs, that is what we have been missing in this playoff run and i believe a bye puts us on the road to a playoff victory
