I'm pretty sure it was Schaub that killed us last year. Of course those were the old days of "rush three the entire second half"

I'm not sure if I fear Houston the least or the most. Their defense is great, but our offense has looked pretty good against good defenses this year including against Houston.

It was both, Foster rushed for over 100 on us as well.

I wouldn't say 100 yards "killed" us. As I said, we had everyone dropped back the entire second half. We wanted them to stick to running the ball because it would've wound down the clock for us.

But to answer your question, I'm not worried about being run on by Houston. A lot has changed. We have their fullback. We've been better against the run this year, and we can focus on shutting the run down rather than allowing it.

maybe Denver doesnt beat Pitt. I tell you one thing, Miller and Dumervill [b]WILL[/b] get to Big Ben. That is a fact. I dont care what anyone thinks of me. I hope that ankle gets blown out!

I'm not one to wish harm on another person... but if there was one person I would wish harm on, it would be Roethlisberger. So I don't think anything less of you for that.

The team I'm most worried about in the afc is the Bengals. Try play us close every time and seem to give us turnkey trouble. Also, the past two games have been WAY too close for comfort.

I know conventional wisdom would suggest that we want the Tebows to take down Pitt. However, who else is going to take down NE so we get homefield all the way through? I don't see any of the other teams having a shot at knocking out NE. I know anything can happen but, for me, let the Texans take out the Bengals and Pitt go into NE.

Then the Steelers can come to our house for the AFCCG. Kind of poetic justice if we get to knock them out on our way to Indy don't you think?

How much do decent playoff tix cost? If its pitt next week or in the AFC Championship game, I'm seriously considering ditching school to fly out to Baltimore.

And does anyone else think road games vs. Pitt are way more entertaining. Night games at home vs a division rival are nice, but that hostile atmosphere in Pitt and shutting up the crowd ( which I know we can do) is just so much cooler. Leading 21-7 last year at half and winning in their house this season was even better than a 35-7 beatdown.

I think we should all be rooting for the Texans to win next week against Cincy..... That would send the Pitt?Denver winner ( Pittsburgh ugh ) to New England and have Houston to play us at home. That would be a better scenario to me then Cincy winning and sending Pitt to us in the second rd.....I rather Pitt and NE play so that we would only play one of them instead of both. Thoughts????

I would prefer this as well, if for no other reason than we get ALL home games up to the big game. Not that I do not think we could beat NE in NE, but why travel if we do not have to.
