Why a strong defense and Running game are important.
 

This is awesome! What playoff football is about. Dome stadiums are for pussy's.

Temperatures in the teens, wind chills near zero, maybe even a snow shower. Now that’s a real Winter Classic.

Frosty forecasts were in play Sunday for the AFC and NFC championship games, with players and fans ready to bundle up in Chicago and Pittsburgh.

[B]Could be around 13 degrees at kickoff when the New York Jets take on the Steelers at Heinz Field. [/B]Might drop to about 8 under partly skies by the time they finish well after dark.

“It’s shaping up as one of the coldest games here that I can remember,” meteorologist Brad Rehak of the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh said Friday. “Going back to the 1970s with the Raiders-Steelers games.”

Rehak would know—he’s a longtime Steelers season ticket-holder who plans to be in the stands.

Wind chills, he said, would be about zero all game.

You gotta love the frozen high-stakes games. Real football. Grrrr.

Also, you gotta love a nice warm living room in which to watch the ice festival.

Mendenhall is an absolute monster and James Starks is very good, definitely better than what we have.

Steelers' D has been consistently great and Green Bay has really settled in as well. Cullen Jenkins, Tramon Williams, Raji are all monsters.

Jenkins might be a free agent this year. He would look good in burgundy and gold.

Yeah, Carriker started to show up late in the season. With Jenkins, we'd be set with our starters at the DE position and be in a good position to develop some depth. We still need NT depth, but Bryant does take a lot of uncertainty with regards to that position.
