The Timing for the Steelers Game Couldn't be Worse

I was surprised to hear JEROME BETTIS on Sunday night say that "The Steelers are a BAD football team." We can win this game, but it's not going to be easy.

1) Their defense is fierce. I respect Troy Polamalu as one of the best defensive players in the league today. The other guys aren't bad either.

2) The wind at Heinz Field can be wicked. It can affect the kickers & the passes that the QB's throw.

3) Their fans are pretty fierce, too. After living in Pittsburgh for a couple of years, I respect & admire the Steeler fans. They are the closest to Saints fans I've run across. It's a blue collar city with a blue collar mentality. Very down to earth and very passionate about their football. That's one of the reasons so many NFL players (QB's in particular) come from there.

I truly believe that if we can keep our focus again, and keep the penalties & turnovers to a minimum, we can win this game easily. It will also help if the Big Ben who played last Sunday shows up this Sunday, too. :hihi:
