Pittsburgh hasn't been the same since they through Dick LeBeau on the sacrificial bonfire last year. The Seahawks aren't even close to the second best team in the NFC now. Cardinals, then Packers (they'll be back soon), Vikes, then maybe Seattle if they don't get overtaken by the Rams or Bucs.

Really guy? Rams or Buccs? Both those teams showed that they are not ready this year.

i wouldnt want Seattle in the playoffs just because RW annoys the hell outta me. I couldnt take our season coming to a end off his crazy playing style and we dont need none of that Seattle luck coming back and screwing us outta our great season.

It's good to put a name to the face... We all wondered which one of you was this guy

 

 

Wow. Just wow. What could possibly explain that away?

Sorta kinda off topic but it's so weird seeing a Patriots team bulldoze its way through the league on a Goodell revenge tour (in their eyes anyway) while trying to keep up with OUR unbeaten record and knowing that we could actually be the only team that could stop them

And yet we beat Seattle and Pitt didn't.  Just stop...you are embarrassing yourself.

It's not about thinking we couldn't beat them, hell I said they were the 2nd best, not the best.  But make no mistake, the rest of the NFC outside us is crumbling, except Seattle.  By the time the playoffs are here they'd be the only team considered less than a touchdown dog against us at home, and it really feels like a crap break that despite earning the #1 seed we would get handed them as our first playoff game.

Seattle's offense getting hot would worry me if their defense hadn't fallen off a cliff.

You pretty much get 20+ points for getting off the bus here lately.

Cardinals beat Seattle in Seattle just a couple of weeks ago.  Its pretty clear at this point they are better than Seattle.  Better qb, better receivers, and at this point, a better secondary.   And as much as we disparage Jimmy Graham, he was their second leading receiver, and he is done for the year.  That is not going to help.

I was wondering how russell wilson had done on the road in the playoffs...

The answer is 1-1.  He beat washington and rg3 and then lost to atlanta in 2012 in the divisional round.

They have won 4 home games in route to the last two super bowls as the 1 seed.

While I agree that Seattle is looking really good, Pittsburgh kind of handed them opportunities tonight. The Steelers repeatedly blitzed almost every play, and threw deep on offense, trying to get big chunks.  The Steelers play so impatient. But some credit should be given to the Seahawks. Their offense does seem to be improved.

The way to confuse Wilson is not to Blitz him. He's a quick throw, one read QB. That's his thing, when he can throw quick slant and hitchg routes, or jump balls downfield to his receivers. 

Now, if Pittsburgh would have rushed 3-4 lineman and kept coverage downfield, so Wilson would have to look to his 2nd and 3rd reads, that's when he wants to run. And Pittsburgh defense is fast enough to catch him.

Are you still doing your weekly previews? I havent seen them lately. You used to post them here.

Nah

That wasn't me. I don't think I ever did any previews here (though I have talked about the 2011, 2012 rookie QB's over the years, certainly).

Seattle looks to be getting a little momentum but that Defense against our offense?  Ehhhh....I think if anything we would win in a shoot out against them.  With that said, I really do not want to face them again.  Their luck never seems to run out with us.

Yup...of course I remember and I also remember the tons of other season's that we lost to the Seahawks because of their luck.
