The steelers have defeated both atlanta and the titans who have put up a lot of points on the other teams they have played. The only team we will play by week four that has a loss other than to the steelers is the ravens. This will be a very good game as the teams have similar styles and it almost always is close. Differences for this game ravens star running back may not be 100% where as the steelers backs are doing well. The ravens are with out ed reed but the steelers have troy p in the line up. Mike wallace is looking like he is going to have a break out year and the ravens have good receivers but no one with the speed of wallace. The offensive line for the steelers is playing rather well and getting better every week. The ravens line has had some difficulties but I expect them to play their best game to date against the steelers. I think we win this one and it might be by 14 points due to some big plays against the ravens secondary after some big plays by our secondary.

I will stop back and chat some more but right now it is time for me to get ready for work, check back later.

Titans put up points on Oakland (ahem, Oakland, 'nuff said there) and the Giants, who everyone knows are playing like crap. Atlanta put up points on Arizona, again, yeah, Arizona and New Orleans. While NO is known for their offensive power, their defense has always been questionable. Just because the Steelers traditionally have problems with the Titans does not make them a powerhouse team. This is not to say that the Steeler defense has not stepped it up in Ben's absence but to try to make a case that you have played any real offensive threats is ridiculous.

Call me crazy, but I don't think this will be like most Steelers/Ravens games. There is way too much going on for that to be the case. It'll still be a bloodbath, [b]I just hope we've learned our lesson about playing the Steelers, and playing their game, usually doesn't work out for us[/b].

That's what I thought two years ago and we went 0-3 against them then 1-1 (with their QB out last year). I have to see that we've learned before I can believe it.

I agree with 1/28/01 that this will be a typical game. And we'll probably be sucked into their game w/ Cams play calling. The steelers will force turnovers and hog the clock. Cam will force the throw and the offense at times will look stale at time. Someone will break away for a second, the other team will come back with a big TD. The game will end on a 4th quarter drive by one of the teams.
