Superbowl 40 rematch:

Going to be a tough game on the road - especially playing a team that was absolutely blown out and embarrassed the prior week...

Glad to have Clowney with another week under his belt and Ziggy returning... We'll need to put the pressure on BB to force him throw the ball earlier than he'd like or we could see some big plays downfield from his receivers... Our secondary was very shaky last week so we need the pressure from our front 7 to help them a bit...

We should be able to run the ball effectively setting up the play action during the game... I expect some big plays downfield to Lockett and Metcalf... I see the Seahawks rushing for a total of 175 yards...

Going to be a 31-27 type of a game...

Isn't Ben the ONLY player on either team that was even around then?

Rushing D looks good for Both the Hawks and Steelers so i think the team that is able to pass is the one that wins. Can the Hawks turn into a passing team when they need to? the Dallas playoff lose says no lets see if they learned anything this offseason. We know Wilson can do it, now it's up to the coaches.

We also need to get that 2 headed monster at RB going
For us to win IMHO Wolverine has to have a huge game

This one is kinda personal for me. I work with a Steelers fan whose Homerism is borderline Rex Racer/Old School. Only worked with him Wednesday and Friday at the store. He was bad mouthing our defense, our ol. Wouldn't mind to rub a win in his face.

I also have family, non immediate, who are Steelers fans.

I'll be surprised if CJ Prosise doesn't get at least 5-7 snaps... He's explosive as well and we should utilize him a bit since he's a healthy...

i feel it might be 2 more weeks till we see Ziggy, but we got LJ and Clowney bookends this game. This team needs to get Ziggy on the field and i still call BS on the 6 game suspension that Reed got for a 1st time offense. I had my fingers crossed Ford made it back but maybe next week

I'm hoping Pete gets the pass going early to set up the run. Ben looked slow last week so hopefully the D can get home and rattle him a bit.

With as much as BB likes to go downfield, I feel like we could see a few DPI on our part... Hopefully they're not game changers...

On a positive note, we do get Iupati back this week... Our OL will be at full strength...

Pass rush looking surprisingly strong. Pitt has a killer OL, so this is great to see...at least early.

Clowney already 2 pass deflections... Surprised no Ziggy yet, he was full participation in practice. Must've been a game time decision.

OMG, First our offensive play calling is putrid not picking up on obvious blitzes, and then second they can’t block worth a dam when it’s not a blitz anyway ... $@&@
