Looking forward to this game.

Steelers always have the stigmatism of recent years of having a poor offensive line, which should benefit our pass rush.

However, we all know how we played the last time we played a poor offensive line.

On offense, I expect the Steelers will be gunning for Vick (literally and figuratively). It's up to our offensive line to step up their games.

It'll be helpful if our best player gets a look in as well.

This is the exact type of game where you could use the phrase "The game will be won in the trenches" Two horrible offensive lines up against two highly talented defensive fronts.

Given the circumstances of the Steelers being 1-2, coming off of a bye, and getting healthy this could easily be the toughest game left on your schedule. You guys match up well vs your division and no other out of division opponent is as tough right now. (My Falcons are terrible in Philadelphia)

I'm intrigued because Vick earlier in his career played very well in his career vs the Steelers. He had an amazing comeback to force a tie his 1st year as a starter, and when he later faced them in his last season for the Falcons it was believe it or not the first time in his career he threw for 3 TDs in a game. (I know it took him a LONG time to accomplish that LOL)

But of course that wasn't Big Ben he was facing in the first matchup and he was playing at home against a Steelers team in the year after a Super Bowl vs a hungry 1-2 team coming off a bye.

Just stay healthy Vick!

Bad News: Big Ben is 14-1 in his career vs the NFC at home. Shocked

Good News: Vick is 18-6-1 in his career vs AFC. (Actually 11-1 at home, which of course doesn't help because this one is on the road)

DRC shows up at Pittsburgh, in a set almost like the one from Cleveland, only it's lavender and not pink. I'm disappointed.
