I agree that that would be the opportune time to issue a letter.
As for the Sage's timing...you only have to right....ONCE! I'll take you predicting and being correct on the Steelers by 7 on Feb 3, 2008, and we'll be good!
If Ben keeps it up, and Najeh can lead the RB by committee, I don't think it matters who the Stillers face, they can beat anybody. They just have to play their A-Game. Defense needs to tighten up a bit, but I think come playoff time, they'll be fine.
