Feeling pretty good

We don't have to Savage and Yates are going to do that for us.

 

Yep, we never blow teams out, because we get too conservative with our play calling when we have a lead. Very unlike the Patriots who keep the hammer down the whole game. This was again obvious against the Pat's during the last couple of drives when we did have a small lead.

When we are loosing we play much more aggressively maybe due to the no huddle and Ben calling the plays. I believe that's why we have so many close games.

 

I am going to guess November 16th 2017 vs the Titians 40-17........

 

11-3 and guaranteed playoffs.... not a bad deal.

 

Well, then, let's get back to the blowouts! My heart can't take what the new cardiac kids are doing!

 

You missed the Titans game?

 

Nope, I watched it. Just forgot about it. All of these nail-biters have done something to my long-term memory, lol.

I'd like to see a few more of those (blowouts) on our way to #7.

 

Why are we expecting the defense to beat Houston? Why can't we expect the offense to win? I don't really care what Hopkins does.

It would be disappointing if the Steelers can't move the ball offensively against a depleted Texans defense. More disappointing than anything Hopkins does. If he goes for 157/2 tds and we win I am fine with that.

 

I agree would love to have a nice Xmas afternoon/evening enjoying some drinks and laughing and joking with the family........

 

This.
If the Steelers want to get to the Superbowl, they were going to have to either 1) Beat the Patriots twice (at home) or 2) Beat the Patriots in New England.

Pick your poison. I certainly wouldn't consider one way easier than the other.

 

And the Ravens (first game), Bengals, Vikings... it happens. Not as often as it should with this level of talent, but it does happen...
