Prediction for first loss of season

I dont think we can stop the Bengals , I hope we come out in 5 Wide and put up some points quickly if not 8 and 1 is a real possibity...

 

Bengals fans couldn't care less if they lose every other game on the schedule just so long as they beat the Steelers this week. Their team will be well prepared coming off their bye week and will throw everything they can at us. Steelers MUST play their best game of the season for them to come away with another victory. The effort they gave yesterday will not beat the Bengals this week.

 

Steelers will game plan the Bungles differently. Burrow should be in for a long day. Bengals won't even crack 20pts. without Ben's help chicken littles.

 

Your confidence this season is fantastic lol

 

Burrow has won how many games?

 

I wouldn't say I'm THIS confident but I'm confident the Steelers play better. They're coming off back-to-back-to-back road games and lost a few key players to injury. We're home this week (which is huge given the rest factor) and should be better suited... it'll be big if Hilton comes back, too; Sutton, though he's filled in admirably, has missed a couple of big-time tackles the last few weeks.

 

Look at the teams that helped them to 24pts. a game. Look at their defense. Look at how well they run the ball. Burrow will need to be Dak like imo.

12 votes for our first loss being Sunday.

 

Yea but HeinzMustard voted 11 times.

 

And you're all going to be wrong. It's the Jags boys.

 

Our D is playing very good today.. I am happy to be wrong ..

 

Inner Harbor Wharf Rats are always tough and the games are always close, the two teams are built to play each other. I think they have a good chance to take the Steelers in Pgh. I don’t like anyone else to beat the Steelers this regular season except possibly the Buffalo Chips.

 

That’s funny

 

Ben has his broom out this year fellas. I dont think he will lose a divisional game.

 

With Jake Luton? I don't think so

 

I figured ravens would split but we are playing prime time at home, vs a banged up ravens team and we have alualualaualau back. I like our chances

 

Waaaahhh

 

bigbenhotness, just don't change your avatar and we will be fine.

 

Ahhh Superstition....

 

It's on 4 days rest just like the Ravens but they play a stronger team then we do Sunday. I'm hoping their game is a nail bitter and ours is a blow out so we can rest up some players in the second half.

 

Third game of the 2021 season after we win #7 and Ben retires, Futchner gets a job making bagels, and MR has a bad day.

 

You have to remember with the shuffling of the schedule the Ravens had 2 weeks to prepare for that home game and the Steelers came off a tough road game against Tennessee. The Ravens blew this game they ABSOLUTELY outplayed us for large portions of this game and this is a home game they had to have. They stop us when we get the ball in the second half. They have a 17-7 lead and they have the ball. At that point they are running the ball down our throats and for some reason (thank god) they decide to throw and the entire game changes. This time around they play us on the road on a short week. I don't believe they outplay us for large portions like they did last time.

 

I agree I don’t think the first loss happens on Thanksgiving. I think the Steelers beat the Ravens at home and like you mentioned they definitely don’t outplay the Steelers as much as they did in Baltimore a few weeks ago. As for the Jags game this week it’s insane how many people are tempted to pick the Jags to win this game much like they did for the Bengals game last week and we all know and saw how that turned out.

 

Ravens are also depleted from injuries and we get Tyson and Hilton back. I like our chances at home on a short week in prime time. Hopefully tomlin doesn’t try to trip someone this time lol
