Week 1: Best Case Scenario / Worst Case Scenario

Best case:
Jarvis Jones has a dominating first game. Redman runs downhill. The running game is so dominant that Ben only throws 20 times and is lifted in the 4th quarter. The Steelers clamp down on the Titans' run game and force Locker to beat them--and he can't, due to a ferocious pass rush. Steelers win by 20+.

Worst case:
The offense struggles. Steelers commit a lot of penalties. Special teams gives up a TD. The Steelers' D does its best to make Jake Locker look like Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers get no pass rush and don't get a single turnover. It's another lackluster performance against a subpar team. Shane Suisham kicks the game-winner in the final seconds.

 

If your WORST CASE is that we still win, I'm okay with that. Worst case to me means we lose.

 

Sounds about right to me, Blast!
Actually, if they manage THREE touchdowns on their own, i would consider it progress(assuming a few fg`s are thrown in, for good measure).
Also, I agree, "worst case" would be we lose our home opener...
And TRULY worst case, would be, Ben and Troy get injured, we spiral out of control, and don`t win another game all year...
GO STEELERS!

 

best case WE WIN with no injuries... worst case we LOSE and ben is out for the season... dems the facts

If he kicks the game winner it will be a worst case.....

 

Hoping Shane does not kick winning field goal

Best case:
1. Players field with attitude and determination
2. Ben getting adequate protection
3. Establishing the run earlier
4. Pressure on Locker / sacks
5. Creating T/O's -interceptions
6. Racking early points- lead and protect
7. Having no major injuries


Worst case: losing!!!

 

Is Shane Shaun's brother or something? We get a new kicker??? LOL Sorry had to do it! But if worst case is we still win it may not be what us fans want from the team but ill take it. I actually have a pretty good feeling about this game!

 

Best case scenario

-Our Oline blocks well in the running game
-The Oline is able to protect Ben
-Ike is able to limit Britt
-We get a consistent pass rush
-Ben makes good decisions with the ball

i don't even have to hope for a win, if all those things happen we will win and will look like a good team in the process. Unfortunately all those things rarely come together for us at the same time. We're usually lucky if we can get two of those things happening at the same time.

 

Dont forget Special Teams. They have not been so special the last few years. They scare the hell out of me

Bman

 

we win, they lose. this is the only scenario I want.

 

Best case= we win, no injuries
Worst case= we lose, many significant injuries

 

Worst case - EVERYBODY DIES, HORRIBLY

 

More seriously:

Best case for me:
O-line shows cohesive working, and Ben has a decent amount of time for the majority of the game.
Moye plays and catches some clutch passes in the 2nd half.
Running game has some consistency.
No injuries.

Worst case:
Injuries in key positions - Pouncey, Decastro, Ben, Troy.
Inconsistency in general.

 

best case:

the offense finds a rhythm and gets tds instead of fgs
then oline keeps Ben clean
the rb situation isnt a bad situation
the young guys on defense and offense make their presence felt in a positive way
the coaching staff makes in game adjustments instead of just going with their plan even if its not working
best thing is they win

worst case:

the offense settles for fgs and shot themselves in the foot like usual
the young guys make their presence felt in a negative way
the coaches make no changes
the oline gets Ben killed
worst thing is the dont win

 

this post looks very familiar lol

Best case: Ben throws 3 TD's, redman runs 1, defense has 2 TO's. Steelers win 31-17

Worst case: William Gay shows up at the stadium

 

Best case: we win and Cleveland and Cincinnati lose.

Worst case: we lose, but still get to laugh at the raiders!

 

Then, the gold lining.... We draft first and take SC's Cloney.

 

Are you a Titans fan??? LOL!

 

I`m pretty sure you meant "Clowney"...That kid looks an absolute BEAST that would be right at home here, that we should never have any chance to get... (Ja`Daeveon, or sumthin like that is the guy I`m thinkin of...)
On the other hand, It`s a shame NFL scouts have been watchin the MAC, that Ben came from, or we might have a chance to get Kalil( I`m sure I didn`t spell it right, and I forget his first name),,,But, he`s a Linebacker from Buffalo(New York), that gave my Buckeyes more than they could handle in the first week of college football...
Guys like that, used to "fly under the radar", but, nowadays, unless we get one of the top 5 or so picks in the draft,...
We ain`t gonna get him... Someone else will. that kid can flat out PLAY!!!...
That`s O.K., tho... I don`t wanna be pickin that high in the draft(Ideally we pick #32)... and we have sum pretty good ILB`s, as is,
BUT....
Some team is gonna get a hell of a player... Hard for me to say these kids are worth the money they are paid..
But I think he might be....
Dude is a BALLER!!!
GO STEELERS!!!

 

guess which one of these it came closer to .. wonder if we have enough healthy players to field a team next week
