    Bush is a plus against scrambling QBs. I'm with Blast, Texans TEs will be a non-factor.

    He’s below Engram and Fant. Watson could elevate him but overall, he shouldn’t be much of a factor.

    Without the crowd I don't think there is a home team advantage.

    Ben has played half his games at Heinz Field. :shrug: Who knows that playing surface better?

    This.


    Again, the Texans are not as under gunned as some make them out to be. For starters, DeShaun Watson makes the Texans less than inferior. The only reason the Texans are 0-2 is the two teams they faced. Never mind that, Bill O Brian is wasting the primal years of Watson. The only major acquisitions have been Laremy Tunsil and moving Tytus Howard to Right Tackle. Granted, that has not been as productive as one would hope but Tunsil is still not a Left Tackle one should sleep on.


    Second, J.J. Watt has returned and he is just as good as he was before. Granted, I do not see the same cataclysmic power that he used to have. That said, this does not make him a middle of the road Defensive Player. He still provides impact. Whitney Mercelius and Justin Reid are rock solid pieces; Bednarik Mckinney and Zach Cunningham the same.



    Overall, this game will be much closer than others believe. For Pittsburgh to win, James Conner and the Rushing Attack have to get to a fast start. If not, prepare for another heart stopping finish. I am keeping my original prediction.



    Steelers: 28


    Texans: 27

    Any team that has Deshaun Watson is never a guarantee win. Especially being 0-2 and desperately needing a win I'm expecting the Texans to pull it out unfortunately

    This.


    There is a reason why the Texans traded two firsts to get him. For that matter, heading into that draft, there was a reason why so many people had Watson as the number one graded QB. He has everything a QB should have minus arm talent. On top of that, he will fight you to the death.



    The closest thing the NFL has seen to Big Ben in my opinion.

    Actually if forced to take the dive I would swim from Anglesea, NJ. I live 5 minutes from there. Wife and I got a kick when we saw your post.

    How do you judge games they "should of" won?

    In 2010, the Patriots went 14-2, and lost to the 5-11 Browns. They lost twice to the Jets (including the home playoff game).
    In 2014 (when they won the SB), the Pats lost 4 games, including 3 to teams 8-8 or 9-7.
    Those seem like games they "should of" won.

    Some people here think that if a team is favored, they should win every time (even if the team is only slightly favored).
    If the Steelers play 3 games where they are a 2:1 favorite, I expect them to lose 1 of those 3 games, even though they "should of" won all of them.

    Actually the Pat fans probably thought they should have won every game. I know the talking heads always did.

    Houston is a good team. There's no such thing as a gimme when the Steelers are involved, but if there was, this wouldn't be it.

    1542, I think.

    The United Kingdom is the sovereign country. Wales and England are countries within it. And Great Britain is the landmass.

    How we conquered half the world when couldn’t even settle on a single name, I’ll never know...
