Steel Certain Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Tomorrow the Steelers will upset the Patriots, ruining their little "perfect season" and their contention to be the only other team than the Dolphins in accomplishing the "perfect" dfeat. This is obviously my (maybe delusionsal?) hope...your thoughts? Heck, the Eagles suck and almost beat the Pats...at least my "Stillers" are a real NFL team...

See Red Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Steelers have the best defense in the League... they play physical in the secondary, and have the best pass defense in the League. The Patriots running game, which hasn't looked good, should struggle to do anything against the Steelers run defense. And the Steelers can run the football, and the Patriots struggle to stop the run.I think the Steelers can beat them... I really like how they match up against New England.

J.R. Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The Steelers' only three losses have come against mediocre teams (ARZ, DEN, NYJ) -- all on the road. New England's not mediocre and they're at home. Patriots 31, Steelers 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braden Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The Pats are reminding me way too much of the Colts... not last years Colts, but the years before.Explosive offense, blows out teams early, run game & defense becomes iffy, loses 1 game late in the season, gives playoff teams formula on how to beat them, loses in the playoffs against a team that went through adversity.Pittsburgh, although inconsistent, definitely has the talent to beat the Pats. I'll take Pittsburgh, and I see the Pats taking the loss out on the Dolphins in New England next week.That 83-points is the spread for next week.

BCBoy Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Wow, I can't wait for this game. I'm hoping like maz, and the other Steelers fans, that we can not only put up a fight, but win.It's tough to beat the Pats by grinding it out, so we'll have to make big plays down the field.I'm very interested to see how the Steelers defense (secondary in particular) can make up with the Patriots offense. With or without Polamalu, the Steelers are way overmatched in that part of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take Pittsburgh, and I see the Pats taking the loss out on the Dolphins in New England next week.That 83-points is the spread for next week.Well, the "blows out teams early" motto might have worked a few weeks ago, but lately the Patriots really haven't started playing until the 4th quarter.As for the game against the Steelers, I think this is the Patriot's toughest test of the season and I think they might actually lose. Which actually, is ok with me. I think the Patriots need to get the perfect season out of their system. Do I not want them to go undefeated? Absolutely not, but I think it work in their benefit if they lost and then started another insane winning streak leading them to another Super Bowl victory!

Mac the Knife Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 My prediction is either:-- New England, pissed by whats-his-names' prediction of Steeler victory, goes bat on the black and gold, scoring 30-50 points and winning convincingly; or...-- Pittsburgh's defense really has figured out a way to shut down the Patriot offense, does so, and holds out for a gritty, 17-13 style win.I'm not sure which, but I'll be watching to find out of course.

Audiodrama Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The Steelers have the talent to beat the Patriots. The Steelers *can* beat the Patriots. This one is a toss-up. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see this game go either way. I think a Pittsburgh blowout (unlikely as it may be) would be the only outcome that would shock me.

zoneranger Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 This year the Steelers seem to be very erratic...when they're good they're very good, when they're bad, they stink. As stated earlier, the Steelers losses have come against less than stellar teams. I'm sure the Steelers realize they have a tough game on their hands and won't underestimate. With that in mind and also realizing that each week it gets tougher for New England to maintain an unbeaten record....I predict...<drum roll>.....Steelers 21, Pats 12.

PeytonManningRocks Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Patriots - 91Dolphins - 8fixed that for ya.How are the Dolphins gonna score 8?I think the Pats will probably win this one, in fact I would be shocked if they come out flat three weeks in a row. Plus I'd rather have them be undefeated going into the AFCCG when the Colts beat them (Hey, a man can dream right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R. Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 This thread looks good on you guys.What a terrible road team, Steelers looked like a joke!Haters, just like Barry Bonds' record, 19-0 is now inevitable. Enjoy the history of the greatest NFL team ever while you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
