I'll be heading down to this one.
Steelers humbled in their opener at Baltimore. You never know until they play but on paper this looks like a game they could get on track a bit. First home game. Seattle team traveling a distance. We'll see.

Steelers lost at Baltimore, a game they may have lost even if they played well. Ravens are a playoff caliber team.
Browns losing at home to Cincinnati is a worse loss.

Pittsburgh by 10+. I don't see Tavaris Jackson coming into Heinz Field and getting a W....he is turrible. If Pittsburgh is the same flat mistake prone team that we saw last week it will be a major concern. They should beat up on this team.

Ok thanks, wasn't sure what the rules for your idiotic reasoning was behind that. Good thing for you since Penn State and the Steelers both lost.Non;894316 wrote:It doesn't change week by week.

I expect the Steelers to right the ship and hammer the Seahawks after getting dominated by the Ravens last week.

LOl at idiot NON.
Steelers blow Seattle out this week. They are pissed after getting their ass kicked, they are home, and its the NFC West. Thats a formula for a blowout.

Steelers by 10+. Tavaris Jackson was a bad decision by Seattle.

As far as this game, Steelers by 21.

I'm encouraged by this:
It's early but it would appear the playoff caliber teams in the AFC are...
New England
New York Jets
Baltimore
Houston
San Diego
after that the 6th team is really up for grabs
maybe there will be a surprise, like a Buffalo who looked good in Week 1, but Pittsburgh still looks like the best of the rest
Buffalo-maybe
Miami-no
Cincinnati-maybe but probably not
Cleveland-no
Jacksonville-no
Tennessee-no
Indianapolis-maybe but probably not without Manning
Oakland-no, that was a lousy game, two bad teams one had to win
Denver-no
Kansas City-no

You were predicting the Browns would go 10-6, and now all of a sudden after one game they aren't a potential 6 spot, and the Bengals are? lol ok. I definetely don't think the Browns are playoff caliber, just find it funny how you change your outlook after one week. Honestly your assessment of the Bengals should be the same assessment you gave to the raiders.Non;894337 wrote:I'm encouraged by this:

I put a lot into that first game for the Browns. I think they needed to start well for once.like_that;894348 wrote:You were predicting the Browns would go 10-6, and now all of a sudden after one game they aren't a potential 6 spot, and the Bengals are? lol ok.

I expected them to win that one and set the tone for a good year.

Same could be said for the Steelers. They looked god awful in the opener, even worse than the Browns I'd say. Could be a long year for steeler fans if they dont shore up that oline.Non;894357 wrote:I put a lot into that first game for the Browns. I think they needed to start well for once.

It's not the same for the Steelers. For one thing, they have a track record of success.Commander of Awesome;894362 wrote:Same could be said for the Steelers.

Also they were starting the season at Baltimore, a game that figured into the loss column anyway.

Could be. That being said, that same thing was said last year and the Steelers made it to the Super Bowl. Same thing a few years back and they won the whole thing. They just shift guys around and figure it out. Not conventional but they've become accustomed to that IMO.

It's different depending on the team. A team like Cleveland who hasn't been in the playoffs a lot, it's not a good thing to give away a home game against Cincinnati and then go on to win 10 games. It's possible but more devastating than a Pittsburgh losing a road game at Baltimore and then shaking that off and having another playoff type season. There's no question about it.Raw Dawgin' it;894367 wrote:What team doesn't need to start well? Good commentary Capt. Obvious.

That was when they were younger. You look at these national analysts/pundits and almost EVERY one is saying Pittsburgh looks "old and slow" on defense. It won't show this week because Seattle just flat out blows but if the trend continues they'll get steamrolled by the better teams in the league.Non;894365 wrote:It's not the same for the Steelers.

2 of the 5 CBS NFL analysts picked the Steelers to go to the Super Bowl.
