Jan. 29, 2012: Pro Bowl, Aloha Stadium in Honolulu
Feb. 5, 2012: Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
I'm good for more than just silly pictures every so often.

The Steelers are in what amounts to second place in the AFC North today as the result of the Baltimore Ravens 31-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Steelers and Ravens have the same 7-3 records, but the Ravens win the tiebreaker with two head-to-head wins over the Steelers. The Bengals fell to 6-4.
In order for the Steelers to win the division, they will have to finish with a better record than the Ravens.
The teams have similar schedules the remainder of the way. Both have one game with San Francisco and Cincinnati and two with Cleveland. In their other two games, the Steelers play Kansas City and St. Louis and Baltimore plays San Diego and Indianapolis.
The Ravens have a slight edge in the matchups with San Francisco (9-1). They have the 49ers at home (Thursday night). The Steelers play at San Francisco.
Another slight difference: The Steelers have the Bengals at home, the Ravens have them on the road.
The Steelers are off today and play Sunday at Kansas City.
On a side note the 9ers have the rats after a short week

Jim Harbaugh says 49ers got “short end of the straw” for Thursday
Posted by Mike Florio on November 22, 2011
The best Thanksgiving triple-header in NFL history will unfold in two days, with dessert being perhaps the best of the three courses.
West vs. East, NFC vs. AFC. For the first time ever, brother vs. brother.
But Jim Harbaugh, coach of the 49ers, says he isn’t feeling “warm and fuzzy” about playing John Harbaugh’s Ravens. Instead, Jim apparently is feeling a little nauseous.
“There’s no question that we drew the short end of the straw on this one,” Harbaugh said, via Matt Kawahara of the Sacramento Bee.
“We’re going against a team that is in our opinion the best team that we’ve played this season, maybe the best team that we play all season, the best defense without question,” Harbaugh said. “A lot of things to overcome this week.”
It’s not yet excuse-making (indeed, the Niners may not need to make any excuses come Friday). More importantly, Jim Harbaugh has a point. Though the NFL has done a good job of ensuring that teams playing on the road with four days between games are playing at home in the first game (thereby eliminating a second travel obligation), there’s still a disadvantage, if the home team for the Thursday game also had a home game on the prior Sunday. Because Baltimore hosted Cincinnati this past weekend, John Harbaugh will be able to get the Ravens ready without traveling at all.
The better approach would have been to send the Ravens to Seattle not in Week 10, but in Week 11. Then, both the 49ers and the Ravens would have had to factor a cross-country flight into the 96 hours or so that they have to get ready for what could be one of the most meaningful games of the regular season.
An even better approach this year, given the manner in which the lockout screwed up the bye week scheduling, would have been to give all six teams set to play on Thanksgiving a bye in Week 11.
Good to see Jim learned the "Art of the Pre-Emptive Whine" from John, just like Rob has perfected the "Foot in Mouth" technique (pun intended) from Rex.

But the Steelers play SF on week 15, which means the 49ers will probably have clinch division and second seed by then. No reason for them to play the Steelers all out. Unless
of course if Jim decides he needs to help brother John.

What about Sister Suzy, Martin Luther, Phil and Don, Brother Michael, and Auntie Gin? Should Jim open the door and let 'em all in?

John will no doubt give Jim some tips on how to prepare and play the Steelers.

Oh, the perversity !
That's a strange way for Rex to give himself a footrub. He seems to enjoy it, frequently as he does.
