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 will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
