I agree completely that this is definitely by no means a MUST win tonight at all. There should be a sense of urgency as you stated with this game tonight just to get back on track and beat a good team and that's it. As I stated all a loss means tonight is the Steelers are in a tie for first place with the Ravens and still ahead of them by virtue of beating them head to head. They still will not have an AFC loss after tonight if they do happen to lose to the Redskins, and have 3 straight AFC games in a row coming up at Heinz Field the next 3 weeks that are very winnable games. I know there will be a lot of panic on this board tonight should the Steelers lose, but keep in mind the Steelers will still be in very good shape going into the final 8 games of the season.

No game is a must game at the midway point in the season unless you are winless or only have 1 or 2 wins under your belt.

Still though this team needs to hold onto that lead in the division and get on a roll. We lose tonight and it will be harder to recover next week. We have to be consistent and that starts back up tonight.

Let's do it! Get off to a quick start and shut that crowd up. That is a great stadium though, I went to a game there 2 years ago.
