This photoshop only works if Ben plays on Sunday. Weapon Ben has to have some sort of healing factor in his DNA. Plus I'm doing my prediction on a Wednesday, trying to change things up a little.<br /><br />Steelers 37<br />

<br />
Shocking new photo of what Tom Brady can do this week.<br />
<br />
Ben is out, but some players are coming back on Defense. If the Steelers can get Bell going in the game and run some pass routes which make sense. I think the Steelers can pull this off...or I hope.<br />

I seemed to go towards a food themed photoshops. This week the Steelers take on the Dolphins and I think Tannehill is getting ever closer to being a pizza delivery boy as opposed to an NFL quarterback.<br />

Well. Well. Well. That was quite the shitburger last week against the Eagles. (ah you see what I did there. Shit-Burger. oh me.) And it always seems as if Reid has the Steelers number, hence the terrible performance. I don't even know, guess I'll low ball the score this week. Who knows. Bells back!!!<br />

<br />
This picture best sums up Steelers fans after this season.<br />
<br />
We really watched too many winnable games this season with terrible performances by the Steelers all around, not just bad play by one group. Defense, Offense and Special teams all had their terrible moments throughout the season and that carried over into the post-season.<br />
<br />
While it is always disappointing that your team does not win the championship, the Steelers kept things interesting this season. After going through some rebuilding years (don't tell the fans that, it was all Tomlins fault they were not that good). The Steelers have made back to back postseason visits and came out with a win this season after suffering a wildcard exit last season. Despite all the injuries/inconsistent play in the secondary, the Steelers were poised to make a shot at Super Bowl L...er 50. Now we will have to suffer by hearing talk about Brady or Manning in the big game. I kind of want neither of those two teams to go.<br />
<br />
For all the Steelers went through this season they are set to make a great run in the final years of Bens NFL career. Yeah it sucked suffering through those mediocre years while the front office rebuilt the offense and the let the aging defense go out on their own terms, but that happens. I mean look at the Browns, do you really want to rotate a head coach every two to three years?? I don't. Rebuilding is a part of football and it doesn't happen over night.<br />
<br />
I for one enjoyed the season. Only because they made the playoffs, they don't get in and I have a different tone for everything Steelers.<br />
<br />
On to next season, let us just hope they can keep the core people and add additions that will help this team to the Super Bowl next season. At this point, with THIS MUCH TALENT ON THE TEAM. Super Bowl is all I am going to expect next season.<br />
<br />
Go Steelers!! End Rant.<br />

Not the biggest fan of Papa John's Pizza. It's ok. The sauce is a tad sweet for my tastes, but I won't turn down the pizza. I do love that garlic sauce though.<br />
<br />
Wow. Last week that game was crazy. I gave up. I had a ton of beer and after that interception late. I walked away. I missed the stripped fumble by Shazier, but didn't miss the rest of the circus that followed. A crazy ending and it is yet another lesson in why you should never give up on an NFL game. Ever.<br />
<br />
This week. I don't even know. With all the injuries to the Steelers, I am really stretching to pick the points.<br />

Sorry Ravens, you may have beaten the Steelers twice this year but you failed to keep them from the playoffs. Many thanks to the Bills taking care of the Jets or should we really thank Ryan Fitzpatrick for turning back into Ryan Fitzpatrick at the best possible time?<br />
<br />
Shades of 2006. Steelers going into Cincy as the number 6 seed, a Peyton Manning led team waiting in the divisional round at the 1 seed. Where and the hell is Jake Plumber???<br />

Ugh. Last week was terrible. Just when you think the Steelers are on a hot streak, they bring you back down to earth.<br />
<br />
It's one thing to lose to the Ravens, it's another to lose to the backups when the Steelers are mostly healthy. Just killer.<br />
<br />
Steelers need help to get into the playoffs. Not sure if that's going to happen or even if they will do well enough against another backup who the Steelers will probably make look like an all-pro. I'd like to see them in the playoffs, but who knows. That offense is dangerous, but the defense is suspect.<br />
<br />
On the plus side the Browns have moved Manziel into another position with the franchise. He's the new mascot.<br />
<br />
Steelers 43<br />
Browns 10<br />

Steelers had an impressive win last week against the Broncos, let us hope they did not use up all of their magic for the Ravens game. The first game this season was a gift for the Ravens. The Steelers best not gift another one.<br />

Of course this is the game one of my playoffs and I am living or dying by having Ben/Brown/Byrant starting on my team this week. Hey this trio has gotten me this far, I have to give them the start. Steelers put up more than 30 this week.<br />

Not going to lie. This picture creeps me out, and I made it. The Ginger is strong in Andy Dalton.<br />

Big game, I really feel as if this makes or breaks the Steelers season...and every other remaining game this season. One game at a time!<br />

<br />
Well that picture about sums up the Steelers game yesterday. As it seems every season for the past few years the Steelers have a chance to get a step a head and they flush it down the toilet.<br /><br />Not sure what the deal is with the secondary, it is almost as if the defensive backs are all hear a different play call in the huddle. It's a terrible thing to watch on almost a weekly basis. That is who I'm blaming in all this mess and for the loss. Not Tomlin, maybe Butler a little since he heads the defense, but mostly the defensive backs. They're the ones running around like chickens with their heads cut off.<br />
<br />
My favorite thing is to read all the Tomlin hating comments. Since it is his fault the players did not execute. Sure the fake field goal is questionable call, but if that play converts Tomlin is a genius. Fans need to get over themselves. Stable franchises do not fire coaches on a whim, that happens to the Browns, Lions, and every other terrible franchise. There's still a chance, the season is not over yet.<br />
<br />
Go Steelers!<br />

The Browns this week. Then a bye. At this point in the week, I have no idea who is starting quarterback for either team. Big Ben or Jones? Johnny Football or the other guy. The downfall of doing this post on a Thursday night.<br />
