Week 16...@ NO

[Yo Tee]

That would be ideal. Trading punches with the Saints usually ends up with them on the winning end. Saints are extremely good at winning close ballgames. I'm just hoping for the Steelers to suddenly find their nutsack and play up to their potential. I loved seeing them win against NE, but I think the Pats shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly had A LOT to do with the Steelers winning.

Yeah a shootout is not ideal against New Orleans. Another reason I am confident in our chances is because of how New Orleans has played against the other AFC North team and how we've played against the other AFC South teams. We've blown out Carolina and Atlanta and only struggled stopping Tampa Bay from scoring in the 2nd half. NO beat Baltimore by 1 and Cleveland by 3. I'm not SUPER confident we will win, but I am confident in our chances to keep it a close game and as long as it's close, our offense SHOULD be able to put the meter in our favor.

I think we should make @Psych-Ward do it.

Not gonna lie, that would be amazing.

Honestly the AFCN defense that is most comparable to PIT's is the Bengals... And the Saints opened up a can of whoopass that week 51-14 or some shit like that. BAL & CLE have way better defenses IMO. CLE is sorta comparable, but IMO they are separated by better coaching.

If anything, it's our special teams that will blow it for us. And late in the game, as Pittsburgh Dad put it, our no-defense defense.

well boz is hitting around 60% so its better than 50/50 he makes it

You couldn't build a fence tall enough Psych!

As much as someone continuously jumps from one side of the fence to the other......

It'd say that fence CAN'T be near high enough.

 

[Psych-Ward]

It's not the coaching, it's a F/O issue.....
We have to have bell or we are doomed.....
This team doesn't understand the Steeler way......
This team needs to evolve......
Ben needs to retire, he's constantly throwing picks......

I'm sure I've missed several hundred......

tomlin sucks at making adjustments. But he rallies his team so well. Saints are already in the playoffs, were clawing........i dunno

Tomlin better have his best gameplan to date. Saints want that HFA.

Hope so. Saints defense is statistically good, but I'm not convinced they can stop the Steelers. But Fichtner still needs to call a well-balanced game. I'll be pissed if he leans on the empty backfield sets.
