Potential history making in two weeks

A clean browns game and we get to see something we have only dreamed about. A playoff game with Ben, bell and brown all playing. I hope martaivis has been learning a lesson all year!

It is pretty exciting. I would hope having the best back in the league... best WR in the league...and a top 5 QB... would mean something in the playoffs. Should be interesting down the stretch.

A top 5 QB yes, but IMO it's kind of weird:

1) Bad Ben - one of the worst QBs in the league.
2) Super Ben (see Ravens, Christmas Day, 4th qrtr): The best QB in the league, by far. Doing what he did yesterday is something I believe only he can do.

So, using some kind of cosmic average ... sure, top 5 QB, sounds about right.

But which Ben shows up in any given game? Heck, any given quarter??

I wonder if more heart attacks happen in Pgh than in any other city on Sunday afternoons!!

Considering Bell has been hurt for the playoffs in he past two years, he, of all Steelers, should be on the sidelines in street clothes next week. However, count me among those that have never felt good about Ben after a bye week, and for those reasons, he'd get a little work next week before I took his helmet away. I'd have he and AB run through about 5 targets together then call it a day.

All good points... certainly puts a ton of emphasis on offensive game planning. I just hope they don't go conservative and predictable on this stretch run.

I am 100% cool with this.
