The Steelers stopping anything on defense is not likely.
When William Gay is your best corner, you have some worrying to do.

The Road to Glendale: NFL Playoffs discussion

There's an interesting article at 538 that had this nugget that I just had to check for myself: Quote:Wilson, in a career that spans 52 regular-season and playoff games, has never lost a game by double digits.The closest they've come was week two this season, when the Chargers beat them by nine. The last time the Seahawks lost by more than nine points was November of 2011, when they lost by 10 to Dallas a week after losing by 22 to Cincy. I'm not sure how often such streaks occur (a good defense and good run game would seem to offer that chance, and it's a combination that hasn't been rare in the NFL) but it's a testament to how well they've played week in and week out over the last three years.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould 
Well, yeah, I'm not sure how "good" they played against San Diego, St. Loius, and Kansas City - but yeah, they've managed to stay in games at least, and they're peaking at the right time. Once the wildcard matches are settled, the competition is going to be fierce - they better bring their A game, at least on defense. The way the Seahawks dismantled the Cards is encouraging, though.
I'm certainly not banking on them to get to the SB again, but keeping my fingers crossed. 
It's gonna be Patriots Seahawks. Seahawks win.
Never. Remember 2006.

All this reminiscing made me think of a heinous stat: The Steelers and the Seahawks meet next year. It will be the Seahawks' chance to score their first points against the Steelers since Super Bowl XL, or almost ten calendar years. |
