Theisman picks Steelers too.
Have to tell you -- this game scares me -- the Steelers do not have that bad of a team -- certainly a better one than 2-6.
Personally I think this will be our toughest game to date -- its away -- Pittsburgh may be cold outside (something our guys certainly are not used to this year) -- Pittsburgh is desperate -- and have something to prove.
I think a win here speaks more than had we beaten baltimore at home
I understand your concern, but the more I look at Pitt, the more I think they're very beatable again this week.
1. Weather shouldn't be an issue - It's supposed to be around 50 with sunshine at game time.
2. I really like our match ups against their secondary - They've been burned big time, and as recently as last week. Plummer did it, and he's no Drew Brees.
3. Their O line is suspect. If we're able to keep pressure on Ben R., hopefully we can create turn overs. I just hpe Cowher doesn't yank him for Batch.
4. Payton - You've gotta believe that he's prepared. I.E. No "cute" plays this time for Reggie, and he's stressing disciplined, mistake free ball.
If we get up on them early, I think the game is over - because they are a melt down waiting to happen - SB champs or not.
Could be 100% wrong, but I believe if we don't turn the ball over and take what they give us, we win... with no "cute" plays.
