[R.E.L.A.X Coltsnation]

lets face it. We never play good in pittsburgh. Can't remember the last time that we won there. Hopefully this is our Rams game from last year and we can right the ship again and start another 5 game winning streak if not longer. WE WILL BE FINE  !!!!!!!!!!

 

2008. I know because I was there . Didn't see the game today (got forced to work 16 hours) but even with the huge lead and basically until the kneel down, I wasn't comfortable and probably will never be when Luck is under center. All I could think about is that Chiefs game in the post-season and know Luck is good for a good comeback regardless of the defeicity and they made it interesting. In the Tomlin thread I mentioned how the Steelers haven't really put it all together. They did today and are capable of that weekly. I just hope it is consistent. 

 

Still, you have a good team, Colts fans and will probably be a there at the end for a chance at the dance. You're going far. Good luck the rest of the way.

I think the Steelers will try to use Bell against us the way Philly did with Sproles. Colts must contain the screens and dump offs to Bell. I think we all remember how bad Sproles torched the D in that game. Secondly, while the Colts have looked good on both sides of the ball recently they MUST stop turning the ball over the way they have or its gonna catch up to them real soon. The Colts had 13 turnovers all of last year and have already matched that number this year. Contain Bell and hold onto the ball and the Colts win easily IMO.

 

Bell is special. He is going to be very difficult to contain. He can line up pretty much anywhere and isn't limited to only dumps and screens. He's about as dominating of a versatile threat as it gets with a back. The question is if the Steelers use more heavy sets against the Colts d-line to give Mike Adams help on that right side since Gilbert may be out with a concussion, though, Adams's specialty is run blocking so maybe the Steelers will try to pound it out.

 

I think you guys will be okay in the turnover department. Ryan Fitzpatrick is no Andrew Luck and as awesome as scoring 21 points in 73 seconds was, that isn't going to happen weekly and can't expect it to. Other than that, the Steelers are struggling dearly by not only forcing turnovers, but sacks as well. I can see Luck picking us apart with ease if we don't mix stuff up and atleast disguise at the best of our ability.

Welcome to the forum! Best place on Earth to talk football. With that being said, solid analysis of both teams. You guys definitely have some talent on your offense, but as you said the team game hasn't come together as well as I'm sure Steeler nation has hoped. Still, I'm always a bit anxious playing the Steelers.

My wife travels to Pitt every other week for work. We were debating flying up for the game, but decided against it. Either way, I'm hoping to make a trip up to Car-nay-gee soon. Eat some Prinantis for me, and let's hope for a great game! Go Horseshoe!!!

 

Thanks  A Primanti is a must so I'll get to work on that, . The only worry I would have as a Colts fan would be that the Steelers know this game is pretty big and they will be up for it. Over the weeks, they've heard nothing but negativity when it came to the media and fans and after that insane 2nd QRT against the Texans and actually stuffing Arian Foster after that first opening drive, they feel they can build on it. They've made some lineup changes and by the looks of it, especially on defense, for the better. We also are going to get the deep ball going with Martavis Bryant, something we haven't used in the first 6 games so there's little tweaks here and there we are incorporating. 

 

As for the Colts, I think they are tops in football so basically everything about your team scares me. They are sharp and rarely beat themselves, which is the complete opposite of the Steelers, who seem to want to bumble around a bit before they are satisfied play better football. I honestly don't see us having a answer for Luck whatsoever but the Colts are riding high and hopefully for Steelers Nation, this is the slip up game. All I know is, you should get our best and I expect them to come out fired up. I just don't know if that will translate to pulling the upset.

What's up guys? Steelers fan here. Thanks for accepting. Point blank, not sure what kind of Steelers fans are "up" for this game. We've been absolutely SHREDDED by the likes of Brian Hoyer (x2); Mike Glennon (good lord) and even in the win, Ryan Fitzpatrick. Andrew Luck is an absolute STUD on all fronts. He's big, strong, has a rocket arm, is as accurate as can be and is one of the smartest quarterbacks in the game today, let alone mobile when he needs to be. He's susceptible to the sack, but that shouldn't matter since the Steelers aren't sniffing pressure anywhere near the QB's feet this season.

 

Anyway, though the Steelers are one lousy Mike Glennon drive away from being 5-2, that was supposed to be the so-called "soft" part of our schedule and we lost to the likes of Tampa and Cleveland. Pittsburgh is probably going to have to score another 30 points to keep up in this one. Not sure if this Steelers talented offense can do it, though as they've got the potential to breakout but continue to start slow week in and week out. We'll see what we're made of but as a Colts fan said above, this could be a blowout. The Steelers are still searching but don't mistaken that as this team not being capable. We are. We just haven't put it all together yet. 

 

Looking forward to talking football guys.
