Dante-
Trying not look through black & gold glasses so to speak, but I don't think they are playing that bad. They have the #1 defense statistically in the AFC, we know the passing game is good and last week's game vs. the Bungals will give them some confidence in running the ball. I had a feeling they were going to lose the Cincy game but they dominated. The score was not indicative of how that game went and I think it could have been worse had they thrown the ball more. They made too many mistakes against KC: special teams & turnovers. The defense was really only responsible for 20 of the points in the KC game and that is not too shabby vs. that offense. I think this next game will be a tough one to call. But, there definitely is value in that Tenny ML play.
By the way, you offered before but I did not respond..how about just making my tag line say "from the City of Champions" for now until if/when I think of something more clever. Thanks Dante.

BTW, Sammy's point is well-taken. "Terrible-ownership" is pretty harsh when talking about the Rooney's however. What I think he is referring to is the fact that the Steelers build to be very good every year but really never go and drop the cash to take a serious run in a given year or two. That prevents them from going into cap-hell and being bad for a stretch however. Different philosophy than many organizations. I like having a good team every or most years but I don't like that the Ravens have a Super Bowl recently and the Steelers do not.
Dante, I think you are really off on this one. Pitt is the play here. Pitt's passing game has been terrific and the D playing better than this point last year. Porter coming back will give them an additional lift. Talk about a one-dimensional offense, all Tenn does is pass. And McNair still has his injured finger to deal with. I think Pitt blows out Tenn in this spot, 31-17 Pitt.
