    I expect a high scoring game, and not much defense from either team.

    For the life of me, with a guy like Jones why we don't double him up with a safety over the top all the time. He is the one guy that can kill you.....

    The Falcons are still optimistic about his status, but I heard John Clayton say on ESPN that he believes that Jones will miss the game. If that is the case, it makes this game MUCH easier for us.

    However, it likely derails any chance I have of beating my brother in this week's fantasy semi-finals match up.... Ill take the Steelers win over the fantasy win every single time tho haha

    We been toasted by less successful WR
    than Jones. Get out your calculators, it will be a scoring fest.

    if Julio jones is out, then we can focus more on roddy white (which will be difficult in it's own right).. that would leave harry douglas, who will get his receptions, but isn't big in the yac factor

    I doubt that Julio plays. If he does, it will be as a decoy. He is on both my fantasy teams, but I am going to bench him for M.Bryant in one league and E.Sanders in the other. I don't think that R.White or H.Douglas are healthy either. Maybe that will be enough for our porous defense. Go Steelers!

    We will have to score at least 35 points to win this game. Hate to say it but I feel that the good vibes from the cinci game go down the toilet against Atl. We will see the real steelers Sunday, the steelers team that let's the poor teams feast.

    Need only reference the NO game two weeks ago. Their big guy (Graham) = 0 targets. Yet, they put 35 on us.

    How true, how about that TB receiver you have never heard of putting up big numbers on us.

    As far as I know, he's doing that to everyone. He's actually quite good. (Assuming we're talking about Evans) It's the rest of their team that sux.

    Actually it was Louis Murphy, who happens to be the same Louis Murphy that torched us a few years ago as a Raider when Gradkowski beat us.

    Well in that case, it's really no surprise. This secondary often makes no-names into HOF'ers. At least for one day, that is. How many times have we played Joe Montana this season?
