    I think the Steelers defense will at least give them a chance to win this game on Sunday night. I think it will be a close game going into the 4th quarter. Keep in mind Phillip Rivers is not having a great year so far. He has struggled a lot so far against the good defenses he has faced. I think if the Steelers can get pressure on Rivers in this game and hit him and sack him a bunch and get some turnovers they will have a good chance to win this game.

    Hodges of course is gonna have to play mistake free ball most of the night as well, but this Chargers team right now is pretty banged up and while it’s still going to be a very tough game for the Steelers to win I still think this game will be very close late and I don’t think it’s an absolute slam dunk that the Chargers automatically win this game like a lot of people are saying.

    Fitzpatrick or Haden on Keenan Allen... instead of Williams or Bush. No offense to our ILBs, but damn... they can't run with Allen. Just plain common sense. Let Bush and Williams worry about Gordon.

    This is how we win.

    I watched Jackson look over at Vince split wide in coverage last week and get burnt across the middle(thank God there was a penalty), but Jackson followed that the whole way. We have learned nothing from last year. Butler is so friggin stupid waiting for different results from doing this. :cool:

    After the Patriots are done playing sneak them into Steeler uniforms and we got a chance.

    Actually I think we will still be in this game with 10 minutes left. Not confident how that last 10 minutes will turn out.

    Number one thing they could do to help win. Leave for the coast this morning and spend two days adjusting to the time difference and jet lag.

    Smart, fundamental football. Limit the penalties and mistakes. Stop the run. Pressure the QB. Score touchdowns in the red zone.

    Actually I'm not sold on that jet lag. My 60 year old wife just went to Napa Valley and back and she didn't complain about it at all. These are young men. I flew to Hawaii twice from East Coast when I wore a younger mans cloths and had no problem. Now going to China kick my ass!!!!!

    This. Do not let K. Allen or the rbs beat us. We now have a solid secondary.

    The Chargers have serious problems on the offensive line. They have been without their left tackle all season and they just put Mike Pouncey on IR. The result is a team that allows as much pressure on the quarterback as any in the league. The Steelers need to take full advantage and get consistent pressure on Rivers. It would certainly help if they had a game-plan for covering the slot receiver that has a realistic chance to succeed, something that they didn't have last year.

    My big concern is Hodges throwing interceptions. The Chargers have a full week to prepare for a rookie quarterback and Duck made some dangerous throws in his limited time against the Ravens. If he can be smart with the ball, there should be opportunities because the Chargers are missing key guys all over the defense.

    "They are currently staging rolling electrical blackouts throughout Cali with high winds, low humidity, high fire danger. Maybe we'll luck out and this game will get postponed due to darkness until next season when MT is leading the Washington Potato Skins (their new name when MT arrives) and BB is leading the Steelers to SB #7 aided by his surgically enabled bionic right arm." Then the alarm went off and I woke up from this beautiful dream. :rolleyes:

    Run the ball for over 120 yards, sack Rivers 4-5 times, get some turnovers.

    The Chargers are 7 points favorites.Think that is a couple of points too much. I bet the Steelers and took the points.
    I think the Steelers lose but not by 7 points.

    We get the ball first and get a FG. Then all the Steelers fans in attendance charge the field and they have to call the game.

    It smells like a late FG that will give the Charges the win. Not totally decided on this yet, but if the Charges get down in the second half, you can expect Rivers to wing it. He's been good to me over the years in fantasy football since the Chargers have a crappy defense and usually get down early and then let Rivers heave it all second half. Good for racking up fantasy points bad if the Steeler secondary is not awake.

    The other thing that might help the Steelers is that no one attends the Charger games. That place is usually pretty empty so maybe Steeler Nation takes over the stadium and helps the Steelers get over the hump.

    Take the 17 hr Qantas flight Dallas to Sydney, and if you tell me you don't have jet lag, I'll know you're lying.
