The Ravens maybe. The Steelers have no running game(unless Redman/Moore have a breakout post season), a banged up QB, lost their starting center and have nowhere near the secondary to hang with GB/NONon;1042411 wrote:Steelers are probably too banged up this year but they have a glimmer of hope and here's why:
Mendenhall getting hurt.
I'm just going to say that there's a chance that Redman is better suited for the playoffs because of the way he runs between the tackles and picks up hidden yards. If he can run hard and get the offensive line pumped up to block for him, they'll be more balanced. And then if they make it to the Super Bowl, they'll have the balanced offense with more ball control to go along with the defense. Unlikely but there's a chance.
Steelers secondary has played pretty well this year. I don't think they'll get torched for 40-50 points, probably around 31.Hb31187;1042529 wrote:The Ravens maybe.

If Ben was Healthy, Pouncey was healthy and you had a full stable of RBs like usual Id agree. I could be wrong, but I just dont see the Steelers competing right now with how banged up they are.Non;1042533 wrote:Steelers secondary has played pretty well this year.

Steelers have the talent offensively to compete in a game like that, as they did in the Super Bowl last year.
Redman is the key. If he has a good postseason, they're going to be more like the Steelers of old where they lean on the run more and control the ball and Ben will not have to do quite as much.
