Only way I can explain it is people are buying into that 'letdown' angle. These teams are as even as it gets.

To me, the only real factor that I take into account is that Rothleisberger (sp) has better weapons than Brady or Manning did. The Jets have proven they can win in hostile environments, the Ds are pretty close so why does Pitt have a better chance of beating the Jets than NE or Indy? It's that BR's supporting cast is better than the two the Jets beat previously.

I just don't agree. Reggie Wayne is better than anybody the Steelers have, and Garcon is no slouch either. And since when are Branch/Welker/Hernandez/Gronkowski/Edelman/etc. inferior to anyone? All I heard last week was how unstoppable that offense was, now it takes a backseat to Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown?

I still think Roethlisberger, Ward, Wallace, Miller and Mendenhall as a total are more solid than the same Top 5 of Indy or NE.

remember Troy P. didn't play last time AND Heth Miller didn't play last time. Miller was big because matt spaeth dropped TWO TD catches. aaron smith MIGHT also get some plays on defense. that would give the D and extra lift. the D is better when AS plays..

Maybe marginally. But they also have a patchwork offensive line, inferior to what the Colts and Pats had.

Polamalu sure didn't look so hot last week and from what I'm hearing he's still far from 100%. Tomlin has been clear that if Smith plays, it'll be in a limited role, and Miller's a nice player, but come on, Spaeth played well in that game. He didn't drop anything. The Jets broke up the last pass in the end zone and even if he caught it, he wasn't coming down in bounds.

the OL is a concern but they've been playing that way for a few weeks. if you think about it, it is impressive the points the Steelers have scored with this OL.

there is a BIG difference between Miller and speath getting open and catching the ball.

OK, the tight end is going to put you over the top this game. Fine.

LOL


I think its a very evenly matched game... so -3 makes sense when you factor in home field advantage points.


While Pittsburgh is a wonderful and beautiful city, I absolutely despise teams from that "other" side of my state.

Go Jets and Buddy's Boy!!

MaTH716 01-19-2011 04:58 PM

I personally think the thing the Jets have to worry about is Roethlisberger running with the ball. There were times where Brady had tons of time, but the coverage downfield with excellent. Not once did he think about trying to run with it, I'm thinking Ben will be the opposite.

dellinger63 01-19-2011 05:09 PM

This w/e's theme song should be 'who let the dogs out!'

CHI v. NYC at likely a pick 'em or close spread.

Who could ask for anything more?

Except of course, the cities of GB and Pitt, who have a combined population equal to the number of restaurants in the other two cities. ;)

nebrady 01-20-2011 11:53 AM

Great point math!
 
That could be a huge key to the game is big ben's running ability. Not to mention he has won the big games. Brady didn't even think about running, now can understand why with a stress fracture. I think the key player is mike wallace, if hes able to catch some long passes its gonna be hard to keep the steelers from winning this time. With palamalulu and miller back its gonna be a good game. Plus I don't forsee the jets getting that great field position they did against the pats. Go steelers!:rolleyes:

population = football :confused:
