During the 2008-2009 season, an encouraging pattern appeared. The Steelers would start the game well, at some point fall behind, and in the 4th quarter, Big Ben would engineer a game winning drive. This phenomena reared its head during the regular season, but in the biggest game of the year, Super Bowl XLIII. Why is the leader of such a sub par offense (22nd in the league during the regular season) the engineer of so many come from behind wins? When examined, two major reasons can be found.

Coming off a super bowl victory last season, hopes couldn't be higher for the 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers, as they should be. While the team is returning 20 out of 22 starters from that super bowl run (only losing Larry Foote and Bryant Mcfadden), things begin to look bleak as we look at the possible roster a year from now. In 2010, the

The Steelers going for their 6th and most for one team. Then you have the Cards going for their first. Ouch I really wanted the Birds in this years game. Well, as a true football fan I had to break the game down to which team earned it more. The Answer was simple time to get the coin out.......lol.

The Philadelphia Eagles get to travel ut West for A Showdown with Arizona Cardinals.
The Thanksgiving rematch. The first time these two teams meet on a night thanksgiving game, The Philadelphia Eagles turned on the Offense. The Cardinals where already shue ins to win the division. They where just going through the emotions. The where resting up for a playoff run. The have a lot of threats on the offense and since play offs started the Defense has step it up. These Two teams are rolling in the playoffs and the Desert should be lit up with points on Sunday afternoon. The Home team has also re found a running game. Which helps the old arm of Kurt Warner, plus he could be getting A. Boldin back.

The game is set in stone. The Pittsburgh Steelers get to host the Baltimore Ravens. This is the third time the two teams meet. The big story is Baltimore Ravens Rookie starting Quarterback doing the same thing Big Ben did his rookie season. The are two of only three rookie QB's to win their first playoff game as a rookie. Flacco already had him beat for rookie starts with 18 games going on 19 nless something happens. While Ben Roethlisberger only started 15 games his rookie Season. With A win Flacco Would set a high rookie standard with 20 starts in Rookie season with the current schedule be impossable to beat. The Ravens lost the first game by a field goal. Then the Second game their was a questionable call of a TD that gave the

Steelers Only Team to keep Home Field Advantage.
The Chargers came out throwing and end the game throwing. Someone just to need to remind Rivers to get points. The Chargers where over matched and the back to back games did not help. LT was on the sideline meaning Sproles had to carry the load. Not much of a load since they are in the air more the the Eagles. The Chargers nailed their own coffin with a pass interference.

I hope for a Steelers win and see the rematch of the so called touchdown catch. Three more turnovers helped keep this game close. In the end the Leg of MattStover and a non delay of game call help seal a win.

The review the play and touchdown came back but Steelers won by 1 instead of7 or 8 and Fantasy owners where crying. This time the game should be just as close who will win find out Friday,
Philadelphia Eagles Travel up the interstate to face the New Jersey Giants....I refuse to call them New York. The game is a three peat and the road team won both games so far. So I like the trend to keep on rolling. The Eagles are the fierce and as talented 6 seed since Pittsburg's last super bwl winning team. The Giants coming off a bye are hoping to fix a sinking ship. Besides the Pathers win the Giants are on a losing trend and might just find Eli and peyton hanging out together soon.

Ravens make tune out of the Dolphins.
Fitting with Bill Parcells possible last game as a Dolphin. The Ravens dominate and if not for one fumble on first drive and a prevent D score the Dolphins never got started. The Dolphins where unable to get to Flacco but they held him under 200 yards but he did get a rushing TD and his RB's besides a fumble help him to win. Flacco is only the third starting Rookie QB to win a playoff game. Now they get the Chance as the third string to take on the Titans. It should be a good Defensive game. We will look at the matchups later in the week.

Romo also needs to be upright and not laying under Ray Lewis.
The Titans and Steelers playing for home field in playoffs. This game should be a barn burner. With the keys of the game , Steelers

without Tashard Choice, the Cowboys falls back into the same type of game that they had against the Steelers, and blow another late lead. The truth is this team played together, all the worthy components charging as one unit. Romo battling through a back contusion, and coming back to score. As he did against the Browns in game one, remember the taped chin? Witten converting on that 3rd and 9 late in the game. This was the game winner, Choice adding to it on the next play just icing on the cake. The Defense was great.

ice. The rookie was fearless. He took on that defense and almost broke a few. The Steelers were worried about him in the second half and tighten up, which should have opened up the passing game. Either the wind or Tony Romo screwed that up. Tashard is good enough that with Marion Barber and Felix Jones, they improve the backfield beyond what the Giant's three headed monster can do. My feeling is that if Marion can't go, then Tashard will do the job. My concern last week was that he would be the lone back and the added pressure might cook the rookie. But his play proved me wrong, and I was pleasantly delighted with the results. The loss was not on Tashard Choice. A defensive gate that opened up in the last 7 minutes and fubar play by Tony Romo or Jason Witten cost us the game. I'm very please with this year's draft. Most have made an impact, unlike Adam Jones. Next year will be something. I fully expect a 13-3 season, NEXT year. As for the last three games, my spidy sense tells me that 2-1 is not out of reach. Unfortunately, the Cowboys will probably need a 3-0 run to make the playoffs. Anything is possible and i reserve hope, but I must expect more of the same from this cast of boys. If history repeats itself, and they do make it, then history will repeat itself and they will have a first round exit. All I can say is WADE PHILLIPS, prove me wrong.

A D can be as good or as bad as their offense. I personel Target Ravens, Steelers, Eagles, and Vikings in a few drafts. Vikings I only took in the leagues they fell and they did there part. The Ravens,

thfull readers, if ou listened and where in Vegas you made a pretty penny......lol.
The Pittsburg Steelers and San Diego Chargers game is causing so much debate. A blown call from the refs, after a review. Has the league rethinking there replay challenges. The new procedures will be implied for playoffs if they figure out a better way to do it. As a gambling kind of guy and a fantasy owner, I see the impact it has on a team. I mean the Score could made you a winner or a loser and not even know it. Imagine you had the house on Chargers. Lose the game on that play. you go jump off the roof. In the Hospital you find out it going to be a whote Christmas for your family. And you will be in a cast. Better yet your at the bar, The

Now time for the Monday night Specail.
This game is tough. Which Steelers team shows up. Or should I say which offensive line shows up to play. The one that lets Ben throew or the one that pulls off the Look out block. That's when the snap the ball, the line lets defender run by. Then they turn to Ben and yell LOOK OUT!!!!!!! The

If you like to check My credentials I am vet059. I took The Pittsburgh Steelers to take out the Bengals. They scored early, but left the Bengals in the game to late. Then the Steelers took over. Giving an easy Win.

Now lets go to the picks.
First Games is Pittsburgh taking on the Bengals. I like the Steelers coming off a bye week. They have some health concerns, but will have enough to take down the Palmer less Bengals. Cinn is licking wounds and looking for some hope for the season. It's not coming this weekend.

The Rams pulled a might upset this pass weekend while playing the Redskins.
The Steelers Game. What a wonderful game after a let down game in Dallas. I was so impressed the way the game went down. It was an exciting game that had a def match up. The score was a little close but never had a doubt we would have the win when all was done. Ben looked like a 100 million dollar tackling dummy during that game.
