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.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
