If we stick with the run and stuff their run, we will win.  I watched some of the Ravens vs Steelers game and the Ravens O-line was getting a good push all game long (I also recall Cleveland having some success running the ball on them) so I don't think they're particular stout at the point of attack.

 

I say the game stays close for a half while we try to establish the run, but we pull away in the 2nd half as they start to get gashed in the run game.  24-10

If you have been paying attention the past 2 games you would know we haven't run the ball initially or to excess until we are trying to put the game away in the 4th.  We have come out passing to set up the run given that people are loading the box.  This week we need the same formula, take what the defense is giving us and mix it up.  Pass when they load the box and run when they expect pass.  It isn't that complicated.

fug it we're gonna win 63-0 the Steelers won't even get positive yardage against us. 15 sacks, 5 takeaways (3 for TDs). After the game the media focus won't be on domestic violence it'll be on whether the Steelers should stay in the NFL or get demoted to the CFL along with the Raiders.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
