PIT v WFT Pregame Thread

[Chief X_Phackter]

So, here's how they stack up on paper.

Total Offense
WFT #26
PIT #20

Passing Offense
WFT #24
PIT #16

Rushing Offense
WFT #19
PIT #24

Total Defense
WFT #4
PIT #3

Passing Defense
WFT #1
PIT #2

Rushing Defense
WFT #15
PIT #8


Honestly, throw it all out the window. On paper the Steelers have a slight edge, but in reality they are about to find out that they aren't as good as their record says they are. Over the last 5 games, WFT averages 136 rushing yards per game. They will have 150+ on Monday. Couple that with a dink & dunk methodology to move the ball down the field, and winning the time of possession battle = a W.

Honestly coming in I'd just like to feel good about my team, I'd like it to be a competitive game showing the last 2 weeks were not flukes against shitty teams.

I think Pittsburg's D is legit though... and yet our Oline surprisingly keeps holding their ground against very decent fronts, last week agains the Cowboys I was surprised, that Dline which generated tons of pressure against the Vikings didn't look that impressive against us.

Hard to predict, I'd love a tough defensive game all along were we get the upper hand 13 to 10.

But how legitimate are they going to still be without Bud Dupree?

This is an interesting stat, like I said run the ball and don’t get cute with passing only, be balanced.

Washington is 4-0 this season with 30 or more carries.
0-7 when fewer than 30 carries.

The problem with this is this puts more pressure on the defense. If Steelers scored 2-3 TDs fast then we would more likely to abandon the running game.

The defense will have to be ready from the beginning, no lapses. The team needs to play an error free game in order to win.

For teams like KC , TB , NO etc, they can win with playing Pass first but we are not a pass first team since Kirk left.

When you run WELL you win. Simply running a lot isn't necessarily enough. This is where our rejuvenated OL really can carry the day (pardon the pun).

Good question, I think they still have a solid D, and a solid front. But we're definitely playing them banged up, Roethlisberger is questionnable with a knee injury.

Not a huge surprise, but seeing him play last week and knowing he has a banged up knee makes me see how we can have a shot in this game.

I think WFT is going to find out that running against Pgh is a lot different than running against Dallas.

Pitt will win. I hope we stay competitive, but it is doubtful. Pitt-Balt are always tough games, that doesn't mean anything in relation to their game with us.

Pitt will go up by 17 in the first half and hold the lead against us the whole game.

This is the most likely scenario...defense has to come out and punch first to avoid it. Let Steelers know it’s gonna be a long day
