Not to take away from **Airman** ’s Steelers’ thread, but I thought the game deserved a separate thread. Troy is probably with an Achilles issue and Ben is having voice issues, which makes the no-huddle an issue. Could be a tough game. Go Steelers! ---

I predict the winner will play Green Bay. ---

OK, I’ve commandeered the big screen TV from my son, and my Terrible Towel is in hand. Let’s get this thing done! ---

Imma gonna cheer for my division in the Superbowl, but I’ll play. Kinda hoping the Jets win - I’m not really a fan of this year’s Steelers. Either/or, though. ---

I am a big fan of Hines Ward. Rex Ryan, not so much. Go Steelers! Oh and Troy is cute too. ---

Nice lateral. Oof about the thigh, though. ---

The Giants fan in me is cheering for the Jets but the Giants fan in me is also cheering against the Jets so I guess its lose lose. Only problem is my Pitt college friends will mope for the next two months if the Steelers lose. Black and Yellow! Good game so far. ---

Seriously? You want the Pack to play the Steelers instead of the Jets? You’re mental, I think. ---

Jets need to get aggressive, should have hit Big Ben on the sneek, instead they just watched him fall forward ---

Apparently there’s no need to worry about Big Ben’s laryngitis today…it doesn’t take much of a voice to run “Mendenhall off left tackle, Mendenhall off right tackle” ---

> [@sitchensis](#): > > Jets need to get aggressive, should have hit Big Ben on the sneek, instead they just watched him fall forward I’m rooting for the Steelers, but the Jets held back there. They were guarding against a bigger return, I suppose, waiting for him to commit before wrapping him up. I would’ve been mad at Ben if he didn’t get that 1st down, with the room they gave him. ---

My biggest fear watching this game (because I don’t really have a stake) is that Ed Hochuli will decide to feed his massive ego and start flagging every other play, making the game painful to watch and screw the teams’ rhythm. ---
