    This is good news. Sooner or later we will have him behind center. Hopefully vs Pittsburgh/Houston.

    He'll need to get used to that brace. Something tells me he will be wearing one the rest of his career.

    Yup. It takes awhile to get used to, but he will be fine with it over time.

    I don't like the sound of that at all. Ryan isn't Marino. Any setback in his game and growth can be critical for this team and his stature as a starting QB in the NFL.

    Stone Cold Steve Austin did just fine wearing two.

    It would probably be a smart move to have some added protection moving forward.

    Send Tannehill home. After seeing what we saw yesterday, it's painfully clear that whatever gap in ability Tannehill has over Matt Moore, it's not within 80% of being enough to hide our defense and the middle of our offensive line.
    Urbyk was brutal yesterday, Bushrod is less than mediocre at RG. 2016 was a nice feel-good story but let's not let it negatively affect 2017.
    Let's just hope that Pittsburgh gets bored after they get up by 20 points and don't rub it in. Barring some freak occurrence, L'Veon will run for 150+ yards and/or be used so effectively as a decoy that play-action will make it look like we only have 7 defenders on the field.
    That Steelers team we beat was a shell of the one we'll be facing this week. We are a shell of the team that beat them.

    I might as well not even watch the game.

    If the Dolphins do in fact win, I don't want to see you posting on here about how glad you are that you were wrong.

    The classic cop out. If they lose you can say "I told you so" and if they win you can be a happy Dolphins fan.

    Just enjoy the game. Anything can happen in the playoffs.

    I do mea culpas. So, expect one if Miami wins. I'm not too proud to admit if I'm wrong.

    My point was, do you want to see Tannehill risk his 2017 season fighting for the team we saw play yesterday?

    This is 180 degrees from being a Griese/Morrall situation. Capisce?

    Yes, if it means we might win a playoff game and increase our chances of winning that elusive SB.

    In any case you don't know precisely how much Tannehill could help. But you have to TRY to win!! Try and fail.. OK, but to not even try at all? Yeah, not my style.

    It's the playoffs. Miami hasn't been there in 8 years. They can possibly not be there the next 8 years after this one.

    From a fan's perspective, if the shot is there I want them to take it.

    In Moore I trust... The rest of this year. I don't want to bring in a cold QB in the playoffs, fresh off a knee injury when Matt Moore is playing well.

    I won't feel good if they put Tannehill back in personally.

    I completely agree! Tanny just needs to get ready for the off-season. No sense in risking a more serious injury and setting his progression back for next season. Key to this game isn't who our QB is, it is who is the Steelers QB. Ben "the rapist" needs to be taken out. Landry Jones is garbage and won't be able to lead the Steelers to a win.

    Everybody is already overlooking us in this game on my social media and locally. I guess everyone must have forgot we stomped the Steelers once this year.

    Give the ball to Ajayi and figure out how to stop Le'veon Bell and get to Ben at he same time. Cam Wake has been waiting for the playoffs, he needs to have the game of his life.

    And most importantly... Hopefully we don't get too badly screwed by the Refs, the Steelers real 12th man.

    I would love to see RT play in the playoffs, but when he plays horrible, the knee excuse is already built in, so I'll pass on that.

    Imo, the only chance we have is MM, because healthy or not, I expect another Balt performance from RT, he always wilts in big games.

    This Steelers O is more dynamic than the Pats, we have no answer for Bell, and AB is going to take X behind the woodshed, so we will have to outscore them to win, and MM is the clear choice imo.

    The 'only' chance we have is Ajayi playing well and hopefully our defense not playing like the worst D in the NFL for this game.
