Re: PIT v WFT Pregame Thread
 

[quote=FrenchSkin;1266524]Honestly coming in I'd just like to feel good about my team, I'd like it to be a competitive game showing the last 2 weeks were not flukes against shitty teams.

I think Pittsburg's D is legit though... and yet our Oline surprisingly keeps holding their ground against very decent fronts, last week agains the Cowboys I was surprised, that Dline which generated tons of pressure against the Vikings didn't look that impressive against us.

Hard to predict, I'd love a tough defensive game all along were we get the upper hand 13 to 10.[/quote]

But how legitimate are they going to still be without Bud Dupree?

This is an interesting stat, like I said run the ball and don’t get cute with passing only, be balanced.

Washington is 4-0 this season with 30 or more carries.
0-7 when fewer than 30 carries.

Re: PIT v WFT Pregame Thread
 

Well three weeks ago I would have said something like 47-3 Steelers which still could happen because we are Washington.
However we are playing better than terrible now. They are missing a few really key guys. If you look at their 11 wins there are alot of close games. Hell the Cowboys without Dak gave these guys a run. So at this point Ill say 47-10!

The problem with this is this puts more pressure on the defense. If Steelers scored 2-3 TDs fast then we would more likely to abandon the running game.

Re: PIT v WFT Pregame Thread
 

The defense will have to be ready from the beginning, no lapses. The team needs to play an error free game in order to win.

Pittsburgh didnt look that great against the Ravens but that doesnt mean anything,how many dropped passes did they have? Anythings possible,but our running game will have to be working on all cylinders for a chance,because Alex Smith is not going to pass us to victory.

Cooley’s Dallas game tape breakdown of Alex Smith said he played like a JAG. Missed seeing several wide open receiver big play and touchdown throws. He said Isaiah Wright should have caught 2 td, that Alex didnt throw him the ball for some reason.

Alex will need to play better to beat Pittsburgh

For teams like KC , TB , NO etc, they can win with playing Pass first but we are not a pass first team since Kirk left.

Top ten all time QBs. Big difference.

Re: PIT v WFT Pregame Thread
 

This is why Chase is a difference maker in this D, #2 overall in sacks, hopefully #1 after the Steelers game.

Re: PIT v WFT Pregame Thread
 

If the WFT rises to the occasion, they can surprise the Steelers. But the DL MUST put heavy pressure on Big Ben right from the start, without having to blitz a lot. The offense must run well and Alex must continue to keep his medium/long passing game fluid. He is playing his best football when he stays flexible and doesn’t get into the rut of his reflex, dink and dunk passing game.

I wish there wasn't so much talk about an upset. Hard to be a trap when everyone seems to be expecting it.

When you run WELL you win. Simply running a lot isn't necessarily enough. This is where our rejuvenated OL really can carry the day (pardon the pun).

Trap game or reality check?
