Sunday night game.

Colts will try to avoid an 0-3 start. I think the desperation and the fact that it's a primetime game against the Steelers will get the Colts up and they'll play a tough game.

Steelers might win but I see it being close.

Agreed. They're not going to roll over and play dead considering they are probably a little desperate. The Steelers should impose their will with Mendenhall and Redman and then Ben can go deep to Wallace, AB and Sanders.

I'd like to see a little more blitzing early on this week as well.

Steelers should be able to run the ball.

The Colts pass rushers can still cause some problems because of the Steelers shaky offensive line, including a rookie at right tackle.

I'd like to see more of Redman at the goal line and less of Mendenhall. I think Redman is the better short yardage back.

Colts will lose by 10+. They are all in for the Suck for Luck campaign.

I don't see this game being particularly close. No Manning and there is simply no chance. it is soon becoming the lost season.

There was a game last year when the Steelers beat the Bengals on Monday night and it came down to the end.

I think it will be like that.

The Steelers will get a scare but then they'll survive and then Roethlisberger and Tomlin and everybody will be like "it wasn't pretty but we'll take the win."

Either 20-17 or 23-17.

Blowout City. Pittsburgh will be able to run, pass, dropkick....whatever they want to do against Indy. Kerry Collins will wear Depends on the field just thinking about the pass rush he will face. I see at least one strip/sack fumble return for a TD by Pittsburgh in this game.

Suck for Luck is an understatement...

Colts are hurting but I don't know if they can out suck Kansas City the way they're looking.

KC, Indy & Seattle are THE worst.

I bet the NFL wishes they could use flex scheduling this early in the season. They are dreading having to show this blowout in primetime.

Sounds about right.

I don't see how you can be an NFL GM and not prepare your team better at QB than Tarvaris Jackson.

There's probably at least 20 QBs backing up around the league that I'd rather have starting. Both of the Steelers backups, Batch and Dixon, I'd rather have.

Steelers win. I won't say it will be a blowout simply because the NFL is wild and things don't always go as they should.

but yet you think it'll be close? You're a walking contradiction.

Steelers will crush them. Doubt they get back to back shutouts, but it'll be a blow out. If the browns can fuck their day up the steelers can too.

Yeah. Two huge blowouts in two weeks and now Charles is out. KC might get dropped by 40 points every week this year.

This wont be close. Kerry Collins is that bad.

The Chiefs are bad, but the Seahawks could squeak out some NFC West wins.

I think it'll be close. I realize the Colts are not the same team without Manning but even a bad team usually doesn't get whipped every game in the NFL. I think they'll play up a little bit in primetime against a marquee team like the Steelers.

All that matters, is who is reffing the game?

If you're implying crooked refs in favor of Pittsburgh in this one, I highly doubt it would be needed. Even if the refs were heavily Indianapolis biased I still see Pittsburgh winning by at least 2 TD's.

I'm implying that our resident steeler cum taker thinks it is necessary to jack off to whoever is reffing the steelers game for that particular week.
