The Jets held up last time but then again Miller didn't play. There is a big dropoff from Miller to Spaeth. With everybody healthy the Steelers have a lot of options with the running game, the receivers (both the speedy options like Wallace, Sanders and Brown and the possession option in Hines), Miller slipping out into the passing game and Ben's scrambling.

I think what will hold the Steelers back if they're held back is sacks. They have the offensive diversity but when you give up a sack and it becomes 2nd and 15 and 3rd and 15 it takes that away.

I had a feeling the ticket prices would drop about this time.

They're always hot at the beginning of the week but now you're seeing some that are more reasonable.

I think that's about what you'll pay at the stadium, between $175-225 for one.

Bart Scott and Coach Ryan...not so much.

Yeah, from Woodland Hills.

And though technically not an area product, Brad Smith is from Youngstown only about 70 miles away.

Born in Utah, Brett Keisel attended Greybull High School in Wyoming.

Will he get back from the mountains in time to play in Sunday's game? :D

I doubt he'll lead any cheers surrounded by the black and gold fans, but "Fireman Ed" always seems to find his way into opposing stadiums.

If you go scalp 200 will get ya in the door....maybe even a good seat.

To playoff games more poeple usually go with us than we have tickets and usually back into a good ticket. Friend of mine has gotten club seats fo 200 or less 3 times in th playoffs. What I think happens is corporate types give tickets to their employees.....they take them and sell a couple, or all, and make a huge profit because they get them free.
For jets playoff game....133.33 for club seat
Ravens AFC Champ game....150 club seat
Last week....175 club seat.

Just is alot of walking and haggling and hustling about. From the wendys down the road to the stadium we usually find the most desparate people selling



As for thsi game....I feel very good about it...and that is what worries me! Last week i was scared to death.....and usually when Ifeel good about a game is when they lay an egg

The Steelers are an unimpressive 5-5 in AFC championship games played in Pittsburgh. 7-7 Overall in AFC title games.

True but it also means they've been in contention a lot.

If you make the playoffs many times, chances are many times you won't go all the way.

Whether the Steelers have nine Super Bowls or six Super Bowls right now, it's still the most over a span of 44 years.

7-7 does mean they have been there alot. It also means they lose as many as they win.

It does but I'd rather be 7-7, 7-10 or 7-15 than like 0-2 or even 3-0.

If the Steelers win they will be tied for most Conference Championship wins with Dallas
