I'm not even going to bother quoting all of the people suggesting why Cowher is or isn't in a do-or-die situation with this season. The fact is that historically, the Steelers have always been a team to stick with a good coach through thick and thin. You could have the best coach in the universe and still lose, that's obvious. But he does have the Rooney blessing, which has always been an essential factor in a Steeler team's success.
As for the game itself, all the Steelers really have to do is bring the same solid game they have all season and let NY run themselves into the ground. Pittsburgh has the confidence of a winning team, but the humility of not having forgotten what being a losing team feels like, and that makes for a powerful bit of armor. Assuming that Roethlistberger is up to spec, I don't think the Steelers will have too much difficulty with this game.
