Seattle is the 2nd best team in the NFC

Pittsburgh hasn't been the same since they through Dick LeBeau on the sacrificial bonfire last year. The Seahawks aren't even close to the second best team in the NFC now. Cardinals, then Packers (they'll be back soon), Vikes, then maybe Seattle if they don't get overtaken by the Rams or Bucs.

Really guy? Rams or Buccs? Both those teams showed that they are not ready this year.

And yet we beat Seattle and Pitt didn't.  Just stop...you are embarrassing yourself.

It's not about thinking we couldn't beat them, hell I said they were the 2nd best, not the best.  But make no mistake, the rest of the NFC outside us is crumbling, except Seattle.  By the time the playoffs are here they'd be the only team considered less than a touchdown dog against us at home, and it really feels like a crap break that despite earning the #1 seed we would get handed them as our first playoff game.

Cardinals beat Seattle in Seattle just a couple of weeks ago.  Its pretty clear at this point they are better than Seattle.  Better qb, better receivers, and at this point, a better secondary.   And as much as we disparage Jimmy Graham, he was their second leading receiver, and he is done for the year.  That is not going to help.

I was wondering how russell wilson had done on the road in the playoffs...

The answer is 1-1.  He beat washington and rg3 and then lost to atlanta in 2012 in the divisional round.

They have won 4 home games in route to the last two super bowls as the 1 seed.

While I agree that Seattle is looking really good, Pittsburgh kind of handed them opportunities tonight. The Steelers repeatedly blitzed almost every play, and threw deep on offense, trying to get big chunks.  The Steelers play so impatient. But some credit should be given to the Seahawks. Their offense does seem to be improved.

The way to confuse Wilson is not to Blitz him. He's a quick throw, one read QB. That's his thing, when he can throw quick slant and hitchg routes, or jump balls downfield to his receivers. 

Now, if Pittsburgh would have rushed 3-4 lineman and kept coverage downfield, so Wilson would have to look to his 2nd and 3rd reads, that's when he wants to run. And Pittsburgh defense is fast enough to catch him.

Seattle looks to be getting a little momentum but that Defense against our offense?  Ehhhh....I think if anything we would win in a shoot out against them.  With that said, I really do not want to face them again.  Their luck never seems to run out with us.

It did when we faced them last time. They lost remember?...

    • I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that. 
    • I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something. 
    • But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
