I think the Steelers are starting to understand the new blitz packages. Hopefully Carson Palmer will sport new bruises over the ones Ray lewis just put on him.
The Steelers will handily beat the Bengals by about 27-10.
I dont think you are giving Baltimore enough credit. I think it will be hard for the Steelers to match that defensive pressure. Palmer will be better than last week. This will be much closer. Im calling for a 27-24 Steeler win.

I realize that. But I wanted to take solace in the fact that the Eagles special teams played very well yesterday (very much unlike the rest of the team).
I'll give the Steelers props. They were a fantastic team yesterday and I'd say they're the most complete team in the NFL right now. Some part of me thinks that the league will catch up with Big Ben at some point (or he'll hit the rookie wall), but I was very impressed with your defense. LeBeau had pressure on McNabb all day without sacrificing coverage on the receivers.
There is a hidden gem here at the Gridiron, and if you guys (and girls) get a chance, you should check out Jeff's "Directions" articles: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/fantasyarticles.htm. In this week's installment, Jeff says, Quote:
Now Brown's DT Gerard Warren is willing to risk a fine and possible suspension by landing a forearm shiver to Ben Roethlisberger's head because he too is sick of the overprotection QBs get from the officials and the league.
I have to comment that Warren isn't saying this because of frustration, he is just a thug. There will be no need for added protection from the league, however, as Warren will be the player getting knocked upside the head all game.

Yes. He has been practicing all week and reports are that he looks fresh/quick.
Sorry. Every indication was that he would be playing, and I was gone Sunday (work, and then sports bar). Thanks to SOSO for posting the fact that Staley would not be playing.
Anyhow, Week 13 is up!
