So am I.....1 play, 17 seconds possession in the 3rd quarter

Steelers! :tro:

grow a thicker skin.

i'm pretty sure if drugs had meant to insult you, you'd know it beyond any doubt.

i've seen it happen and it involves gaping wounds, blood splattered on walls, and truely obscene songs.

.....going down to Tampa maybe. Man this stinks !

:D

What if Pitt ends up playing Zona in the superbowl? That would be an interesting story. Shunned ex coach...victim of the rooney rule...exiled to arizona of all places...faces his old team in the superbowl.

:mad:

I'm sick with yesterday's result, Pittsburg was there for the taking but it just wasn't to be. :mad:

This was not a prediction of any kind so im not trying to redboard this hypothesis. Im just thinking of how interesting this will be. Will Wiz have a big advantage after having worked with Rothlisberger for so long? Will practicing against Lebeau's blitzes give him special insights into beating them down the field?

Personally, I think Pittsburgh is much too physical for this cards team. Throwing those routes across the middle against the gold and black is a sure way to get Fitzgerald killed.

The bottom line to beating any K Warner team is to hit him early and often. If you do that your success rate is high. If they protect him they have a good chance of it being a close game.

I agree. I dont think they can protect him. The big difference between Pittsburgh and Philly's d is that Pitt doesnt have to commit anything extra to stop the run...ever. Pitt can play nickel and still hold you to 3 yards a carry if necessary. You simply can't run on the steelers the way zona ran on philly today regardless of personnel grouping.

Once again, I was very impressed by how well Zona is playing the run. But they have to sell out and pray and thus far their secondary has either made the plays or they have gotten extremely lucky.

the cards have someone the Steelers no longer do, Russ Grimm and i really think it shows in the inconsistancy of the Steelers OL play. against the chargers the OL played well over all. yesterday they pass protected well but not run block.
if the Steelers OL takes control early and gets ahead it could get ugly quick. the defense will play like sharks with blood in the water.

remember 2 years ago the cards beat the Steelers in AZ.
