The Toilet Bowl: 1-2-1 Steelers vs 1-3 Falcons

I predict the Steelers with play an amazing...2nd quarter...

 

This game has the potential to break offensive records. Not to be confused with records for being offensive.

I could see Ben throw for 600 yards and the team still lose.

 

we never average 30 ppg, its just sad at this point lol. supposed to be this offensive juggernaught but cant be because ben has too many clunkers. (obviously he is my idol)

 

Is the over/under 60+? If not Vegas may take a beating.

 

57.5

 

I forgot about Pittsburgh closing up shop at halftime.

 

Vegas must hate the Steelers. They're so maddingly inconsistent I doubt Vegas even knows how to set the line on any of their games

 

The game is at home, Ben should bounce back with a good game against a bad defense. Ben goes for 400 yards and 4 TDs

 

Both teams average over 400 yds on offense and both give up over 400 yds on defense...... with all the potential offensive fireworks, the coaches should just pass them a basketball

 

I have a feeling Dan Quinn is going to have a lot better defense this week, he had to deal with 3 starters on IR but he is good at filling the voids left by injured players he proved that when he was seattles DC....

I am reading some of the comments on the Falcons boards.

"They will shred us!"
"Brown will have 7 td's"
"I am afraid of their big mammoth TE's"


LOL! have they not seen us lately? 2 posters hit it right on the money.

"The media has been overhyping them for years" -and
"The division got better while they got worse"


lol both teams suck, lets see what happens.

 

oh and falcons have never won in Pittsburgh, ever.

We know how we like making history...

 

Maybe this is the year the Falcons win in Pittsburgh and the Steelers win in Oakland.

 

This year, they might. 25.5 pts/gm so far. If the offense can get out of the rut of basically only scoring in the 2nd quarter, then they could definitely go 30+ points/game.

 

In the Falcons Bengals game, there was not very much in the way of defense. Receivers running open all over. It didn’t look too different to some of our woes.

 

I'm not worried about Atlanta's defense, they have 3 starters on IR and have been terrible. When Quinn was in Seattle he had the Legion of Boom to bail him out .

 

Nor do I.


Artie Burns already had an issue matching up against the likes of Chris Godwin and Mike Evans.


Now, Muhammed Sanu, Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones??

 

So, Is this this the official game day thread yet?

 

We got the Waterboy?

 

Make that 4 defensive starters out for this game, D tackle Grady Jarrett will not play being held out with an ankle sprain, they will be getting running back Devonta Freeman back after missing 3 games with a sore knee, julio practiced thursday....

 

Wrong. Our defense's krpytonite is anyone with a pulse.

 

The Falcons game prep vs The Steelers game prep. I wonder who wins that match up? Talent is about equal so that could determine the game, possibly. I think we will see much of the same on our part.

 

With all the stars out on Atlanta's D there is really no reason we can't score 30+

Of course I'm sure we could find a way NOT to do that, but we really shouldn't be struggling against their defense.
