A close competitive game until the end is what im praying for
I unfortunately dont expect anything close to that after watching us stumble through the season
We are not a good team so expectations are low but a blowout just adds to the pain of this season

I really don't want Ben's last game to be embarrassing.

I'm really happy that we have a chance in the playoffs. But if his last game had been the Rats win, I think it would have been OK with that. And better than if it ends on another Cleveland Ike playoff game.

I think it's because we take more chances.

Like with Cowher, we don't want to take those chances all game. Keep it close and hope we pull it out at the end.

I think the best way to manage high variance is to limit reps and hope you keep flipping heads. But the more times you flip, the higher your chances of tails.

They were openly laughing on the radio about Roethlisberger's comments earlier in the week. Said he was already in retirement mode. They give the Steelers no chance in the game.

Let's hope he's got one last ride in him......

Watch other games - defenses soften up with the lead in the 4th, previously stopped offenses start clicking and piling up stats. It happens all over the league.

Sounds like the Jalen Hurts story.
