Go watch another team Arthur. All Ben has done is win more games in the five years of his career than any other QB in the HISTORY of the NFL.

No shame in losing on the road to a 13-2 team. We shall meet again...with different results.

What? You think a close win against the lowly Chefs puts you in the conversation with us? Don't think so! Get in the playoffs first.

As a Steeler fan for 40 years, I am so ready for Ben Worthlessburger to be gone already! He may pass Dave Krieg for most career fumbles if he sticks around long enough! Did half his brain end up on the pavement in that motorcycle wreck?

Should be a really fun game today. Too bad the Titans are missing 2 of their defensive linemen...

The Steelers will shut down the Titans running game. If the Steelers can put points on the board they will destroy Collins.

Titans are on a downer after losing to inferior teams. Steelers on the other hand, have been winning. So, the odds are for the black and gold. With the #1 defense, Titans won't be a push over as they are well coached but Steelers could prevail if they play heads-up and take the lead early. Offense needs to learn how to block better to protect Roth and give him time to deliver. This may not be the game to pull it out late in the 4th. They need to kick butt all the way thru and this will pay big dividends in the long run. Steelers should win but it will be a tough game.

I see the Steelers are 2 point favorites now so lots of money must be going on them. I just need 5 FG's from Bironas and a couple TD's from the Steelers D and I'll be happy.

Zim, we don't expect you to me a homer...being a Vikings fan you can't understand what it is like to be part of the elite Steeler club! LOL

Seriously though, I understand what you are saying...too many of these cardiac finishes raises the odds of a change in the weather. However, we Steeler fans are always being told the wheels are gonna fall off the bus but with the exception of a couple of flat tires in the last 40 years that just hasn't happened.

I'm often right scout, just 'cause I'm not a homer like you all. lol. If you recall I picked the Steelers to upset the Ravens last week.

Perhaps Dice is right though in that the Steelers "luck" is more a reflection of their ability to win the close games. They seem to have that 4th Quarter magic of always getting it done somehow.

My statement is more an expectation that sooner or later that magic catches up with a team. Of course it didn't happen to the Giants last year and maybe the Steelers are on a similar roll.

Should be another good game this weekend at any rate.

Hardly think that a team is lucky when 5 of their 11 wins have come when they had been trailing in the game. Ben has become the current day Staubach, Stabler, Elway, Montana etc.

No small lead is safe against the Men of Steel when there is still time on the clock.

Tennessee is too banged up on the D-Line and Collins is too old to avoid the Blitzburgh Defense.

Could it be that Zim is wrong not once but twice? LOL

I see the Titans are 1 point favorites. Flip a coin. I think the Steelers luck runs out this week.

Steelers

Seems most of the country says that. During halftime last night, the ESPNation Poll results were shown for the question, "Will the Steelers beat the Titans this Sunday?"

49 states - Yes
1 state - No
