From my Facebook Steelers link, they mentioned that the words Tomlin used might shed some light on their availability. With Adams, he said he expected him out there (or words to that effect); with Woodley and Keisel, he said that he hopes they'll be able to go.

That sounds good. I'm thinking Brees will throw it early and often in this game.

^^I agree. I think there could be a lot of passing by both teams.

I thought Hines had a great game against the Dolphins. He hasn't lost a step. And with Wallace's ability to stretch the field it should give Ward a lot more opportunities.

I hope the Steelers can be a balanced offense moving forward but it's going to be tough for Arians to stick with the run.

A lot of Steeler fans are heading down to this game. I've heard at least 5 to 6 radio promotions, all different companies who are chartering planes, providing rooms and in some of these deals, game tickets too. These trips are all in conjunction with several huge Halloween events going on the Big Easy. I think with the Steeler fans who already live in and around the New Orleans area and the ones arriving from the Burgh, the Steeler Nation could take over the Super Dome Sunday night. Wish I could go!

Could this be a replay of last year's Steeler/Packers game whre Ben had 500+ yards passing and the last team with the ball wins?

Steelers have to handle the crowd noise, that's the only thing. Can't have too many false starts and things like that to hold them back.

The Saints will rebound and pound the shit out of Pittsburgh this week. They could have 6 officials from little Washington doing this game and it still won't matter.

The Saints overcome the refs and roll 28-10.

That's not gonna happen.

Saints might win but it won't be decided until late in the fourth quarter.

I think the Saints win but it won't be a blow out.

So says the guy who predicted Pittsburgh would only win (at most) two more games after the return of Ben. Neither of those wins were the ones against Cleveland and Miami that they got with him. I'd really be embarrassed if my attempts of trash-talking had so little credibility...but then...I do have some pride (regardless of how little it is...).

If I posted "Patrick Hillis is a pussy and hates to instigate contact" (or..."I heard a person say that some player in the league might be near the level of Ben Watson!"), I'd be on your level.

He's just trolling. If not...I hope for his family's sake that he's not a gambler.

I wonder if the Saints will even try running or will they throw every down?

I see the Saints winning this one 23-20 should be a great game.

So, not sure if it's true or not but I saw on facebook that Aaron Smith may be able to return in 4-6 weeks. Take it FWIW but I just saw that.

That's great news about Smith.

Bad news about Keisel, though. It doesn't sound like he will play so they'll be without both starting defensive ends, Keisel and Smith.

Gametime approaching.

Saints I think will bounce back and play their best.

But the Steelers are usually a good primetime team.

So my bold prediction is possible game of the year to this point.

Yes, he could either pull up and hit him high, or go down.
