Observations On our next opponent

this is the kind game that has a lost written all over it
their 5–8 And tied for 1st
capable of scoring a touchdown on one play
hopefully this team has learned to beat a team with a losing record

 

We may win by 20 or lose by 30. You just never know with this team. It's a sub .500 opponent, but hopefully Ben is rolling again now. It would be great to see him have another big game on the road, since we will have to win multiple road games if we make the playoffs.

 

Our offense should be fun to watch inside the dome. AB is going to be sick nasty out there. Bell is going to be a beast in the passing game with the way he runs routes ILBs are going to get eaten alive trying to cover him

 

Maybe Jones just got hurt on that last play. If he's healthy he alone will kill our secondary.

 

That's what I call halftime adjustments. Next week will not be an easy win.

 

As long as no one blows out an ACL ...

 

Hijacker hahahahahaha.... Seriously, next week is series b'ness

 

This game scares me like Saints because Falcons have some great wideouts... our secondary is so bad right now.

 

There offense looks great and they will be at home so we are gonna need 40 plus to assure a win

 

We are going to need to score 50 to win

 

Wild card will still be in play if we lose

 

Julio Jones just went out with an injured hip. I wonder if it will linger.

 

GB has been running that same left power trap play with much success that LeVeon Bell killed the Bengals with yesterday. Hopefully Haley points that out this week.

 

Our offense will do fine, they have little to no pass rush..Ben will have a heyday feeding our receiving corps.

 

It's not the offense that I'm worried about.

 

Why isn't it? It can be pretty brutal sometimes.

 

When executed well the Steelers offense can hang with anybody.

The Steelers secondary is guaranteed to get burned 3 or more times a game no matter who the opponent.

 

If we loose I don't want to hear about some sixth seed, forget that.

 

If the O can hang some points early, our D can be much better. Playing with a lead they have been pretty good. At least good enough. Mostly. Not always.

 

It's going to be a long day next weekend for our Steelers defense.

I hope Lebeau comes up with a decent game plan against the Falcons. I wonder what it will be. But our track record agains mediocre quarterbacks has been terrible this year I can only imagine what it will look like Sunday.

 

Yeah I think you guys nailed it. If Ben is on point, we'll win this game. If he gives them any crazy turnovers we may be in for a long week.

I'd stick Blake on Julio Jones all game with Mitchell over the top. Blake can hang with anyone, and while he'll give up damn near a foot in height to Jones, Ryan can't throw jump balls all day. Not with Mitchell laying blasting caps all over the place. I think our other DB's can compete with Harry Douglas and Roddy White enough to limit their effectiveness.

A 10-125-2 day from Jones, while limiting everyone else, will be enough to win. And I think Blake could hold his head high if Jones had that kind of day against him because he's arguably the most dangerous wideout in the league. Just keep everything in front of him and don't bite on the short stuff.

 

Lol.

It would be good to just see this team get it done. WHile the Bengals collapsed on Sunday, they collapsed because we played pretty clinically when we needed to. We also found the plays that hurt them the most and rammed it down their throat. If we get in that kind of stride against the Falcons, we'll win. But we may have to wait until the 3rd quarter to make a more accurate assessment...

 

Watching a bit of the game last night Ben and the offense better not come out flat. Green Bays Defense let Ryan look like Matty Ice in the 2nd half. Going to have to have a bungles beat down kind of night. Jones got a hip injury last night but i'm sure he will be suited up due to the pathetic NFC South fight for the division. Oh, and by any means necessary keeping Ike Taylor on the sidelines
