"Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has never met Minnesota Vikings counterpart Brett Favre. Roethisberger didn't make the trip to Green Bay in 2005 when Favre played for the Packers after underging arthroscopic surgery for a torn miniscus in his right knee. The Steelers defeated Green Bay 20-10 that year with Charlie Batch as the starter."***2 --> Number of consecutive wins for the Steelers against Minnesota.***'Nuff SAID!!!!

This whole game depends on the pass rush of Harrison, Timmons and Woodley. If they get to Favre, they can force him into throwing some picks. If not, he can carve our putrid secondary up.

I'm telling ya ... the key to the game is gonna be the Steelers pass rush.

I agree Black gold the secondary is going to have to be on their A game, or Farve will shred them. My concern is if Starks and company can keep Ben upright and keep him form getting hurt. If they dont protect him the wa they have been , it could be along day also, Ben is going to be key in this game also. I know we have the weapons on offense to spread it out, but can they give Ben time to get it to them,.

It's lookin' like MOST people are expecting THE STEELERS to do the obvious: SMACK-AROUND the most-recent poser.

Ditto on everything in his thread so far! I think the Steelers will pull this one off. Picks could determine the outcome for the vikes. Farve can and will shred if Steelers secondary given any opportunity.

This is a coin flip game.

"This is the immovable force versus the irresistible object, the irresistible force versus the immovable object. This is many things, this matchup of football's best running back and the league's perennially toughest defense. But most of all, it's must-see."
