Antonio Brown, Cam Heyward and Antonio Brown.

My fear is not so much NE, but the next two games (Cinn/Balt) leading up to NE.  Do you think that this team will get caught up looking ahead, or handle their business?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:23
I agree with you. They haven't played well enough recently for any of us to think otherwise.
SB or Bust
12:23
It's better to be lucky than good, I guess.  The Steelers were lucky last night.  I hope they don't use up their 9 lives before the play offs.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:23
They're about halfway there.
Moose

How big of a blessing has Hilton been?  It seems like he is just a gamer and love his style of play.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:24
He's been very good. I'd say their most consistent corner after Haden.

Did Mike T. error badly by giving Dungy ”Coach-Speak” look-ahead-beyond-next-game comments and on the record at that?  Will you guys ask him for non coach-speak at future pressers?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:26
Some of my colleagues thinks Tomlin is too smart and too calculating with the media for that to happen. I disagree. I think he let his guard down and said something he probably regrets. Not that I don't think he's smart. I just thin he let his guard down with his former boss. He'd never do that with local reporters. My opinion: he made a mistake. Now he's secretly hoping his players can cash the check his mouth wrote.

If all the DBs would play with Hilton's Hearth...
Ray Fittipaldo
12:26
Or his tackling ability.
touchback
12:26
How surprised were you that the Packers kicked a 57 yard field goal?  Ever notice that missed field goals end up going the other way for TDs?  That momentum shift is quite undeniable.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:26
Terrible decision by Mike McCarthy. Had the Steelers on the ropes there and let them back in the game.

Question: Where would this team be without Antonio Brown? Answer: Certainly not 9 & 2. Your thoughts? Nice article on Joe Greene by the way.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:27
Thank you. I'm guessing 6-5 without Brown. Maybe 7-4. He's that important to the team.

I worry about a team like Baltimore with a very good defense. Average defenses have been keeping us in check (Indy), I think we could very likely lose that game if we don't improve defensively, you agree?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:28
They could lose in Cincinnati if they don't play better than they have in recent weeks.

How is Cam Heyward such a well-kept secret? It looks like he can't be blocked if he doesn't want to be blocked.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:28
If he's not All-Pro this season then something is wrong. He is a man among boys.
Mason
12:28
Could you see the Steelers trading for an elite cornerback in the offseason?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:29
No but I can see them keeping Haden even though he'll cost them.
Ike Steelheart
12:29
I think the main question here is: can this team win the SB this year or again they don't have enough talent yet?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:29
I think the talent is there. They just have to be disciplined and play better.
Yinzer in Germany

Do you M. Bryant will return more kickoffs this season even when JuJu comes back?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:29
I liked what I saw last night. Why not? They could use the spark i the return game.
NC Bruin
12:30
Ray - a great team win, especially considering the minus three turnover differential.  What are the odds that a team loses with such a differential?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:30
Not very good. The Steelers were lucky Sunday night.
Renegade

Ray, From pics and video - looks like Lambert was not in attendance at the HOH ceremony.  Do you know if this was the case?  Any other no shows?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:31
I did not see Lambert. I didn't see Jack Ham either.
Mike D
12:31
Do you see the Steelers spending a high draft pick on a CB?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:31
No but maybe a safety. They invested a first-round pick in Burns. They have to try to make that work.
Jonathan Mason
12:31
It's hilarious when people say anyone other than AB is the best wide receiver in the league. Julio Jones finally has a good game this season and all of a sudden he's the best again. Your thoughts?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:32
It was almost like Brown saw what Jones did Sunday afternoon and said "Watch this"
Carlos
12:32
Improve the pass rush is the key for Steelers finally beat NE in playoffs and advance to Super Bowl?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:32
And tackling and better coverage and better discipline.
BD
12:33
If there was currently a viable replacement, would Artie Burns have been benched by now?  His instincts seem to be failing him the last few games.
Ray Fittipaldo
12:33
It's starting to get to that point. Is Cam Sutton a viable option? That's the $100,000 question at this point.
KA
12:35
Eli caught as many balls as he dropped.  Do you think he’s on another team next year?
Ray Fittipaldo
12:35
Perhaps. He's not making a case to stick around.
Landry Bones
12:36
I've accepted this defense is as bad as ever..Haden returning helps some but it's still an awful pass defense...Doesn't the offense have to get better and only way to beat Pats is by outscoring them?
