Glad the Seahawks are going to be he undersog...and Bettis will steal a lot of the spotlight too.
I still have this image of the Bengals taking it to Steelers in the Divisional Playoff and going up 17-3...that Steelers team is still out there somewhere.
They did a good job of shutting down Manning, who helped them out by not using the running game.
And Plummer today shot himself in the foot early more then Pittsburgh dominated, at least early.
That said, on one hand I can see Hasselback and the Seahawks come out flat, and, if the Steelers stop them early, or, get turnovers, a similar game to the Broncos game tonight. Hasselback will fold like a cheap suit.
On the other hand, the Seattle offense today, like it has been all year, was a great mix of run and pass. Stevens, Engram, Jerevicius, Jackson are all decent receivers and get a few catches each game, but there's not a big play guy that Pittsburgh can focus on. Alexander had a lot of carries but broke only a few for 10+ yards..yet still had around 150yds...so they aren't going to abandon the run like Indy or Cicny did. If they can prevent turnovers like Denver, and be in it into the second half, its anyones game.
I like Seattle's defence on the Steelers offence...again, like today, no turnovers to give Pittsbrugh a short field.
