The Steelers, fresh off an embarrassing loss at the Jets, will host winless Miami on Monday Night without two key starters. What's the plan?

I wouldnt call it as embarrasing as eye-opening. I realized after that game that Pitts schedule has been incredibly easy. They have only played 1 team over 500 and its the Broiwns

They beat NFC West-leading Seattle (6-4) in Week 5.

Here's one for you, do you realize that only 12 teams in the league are above .500? Pittsburgh is obviously one of them, as is Seattle and Cleveland. That's three wins against teams over .500, and two of their three losses are to teams at .500, both of which are still alive for the playoffs.

This is a rough league, while I cannot excuse the way they played Sunday (or the first half against Denver, for that matter), their losses have been close, and all have been on the road. They've destroyed their division (except for a special teams nightmare, look at the rest of the stats of that second Cleveland game).

They won't beat the Pats, should beat the Jags, and they better beat Miami, St. Louis, and at least split with Cincy and Baltimore (division games are tough as nails in the North).

I'd be plenty happy with 11-5 or 12-4 with a division title. Even if we did lose to the GD Jets.

If there was ever a game we could live without Troy this is it-winless Miami.

As far as Santonio, start Hines Ward on your fantasy team with Cedric Wilson and Nate Washington as trade bait for guys desperate to jump on the blowout of the Dolphinks.
