No Harrison & Troy until after the bye week

I don't expect to see Harrison or Troy until after the bye week. The only reason Troy would play is because he is from Southern California. This give them 3 weeks to rest, rehab, and condition before they play again. Harrison more so then Troy.

They can beat the Raiders without them anyway.

 

I agree. I would add Mendenhall to that list also. The only thing I worry about is the last time we made that trip to Oakland we were a heavy favorite and laid an egg. Hopefully we put them away early and don't let them hang around and build any confidence.

 

I know the Raiders are 0-2. But, don't take them light, the Steelers usually always play awful in California too, no matter who they are playing.

 

The faiders are the faiders a "W" for us it sucks to play in that stadium "Lets Go Steelers"

 

I dont care if the Raiders were 0-198 and we were 200-0, if any team could beat us it would be them. I think its an ole skool rivalry and they just play us tough.

 

plus they are with their backs to the wall and need a win if they want to even have a chance of making the postseason

 

Arizona just beat the Patsies in Foxboro...hence Any Given Sunday. Coach T better have our boys prepared. And DMac can break lose in a hurry. We should be favored, but we better not be over confident.

 

We do not need to take the 0-2 Raiders lightly...they always play us tough.

 

The Steelers should not take them lightly, but if they keep the same strategy from the past two weeks, they should win. In other words - long-sustained, time-consuming drives. Keep the opponent's offense off the field and you've always got victory within reach.

 

i would feel much better with troy but if we play like we did sunday we shouldnt have much problem with the raiders

 

Back in '06 the Raiders had 98 yards total offense and still managed to beat us 20-13!! We better not take them lightly!

 

I'm going to that game... they *better* not take it lightly!!
