[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

I got Colts winning 27-24

 

Luck 29-45 357 Yards 2 TD's, 1 INT 

Frank Gore 14 rushes 63 yards 1 TD 

TY Hilton 7 Rec, 132 Yards 1 TD 

 

Other TD goes to Doyle 

 

 

[RockThatBlue]

I feel better about this game than I did a few weeks ago.

 

Colts exorcise some demons and win 28-20.

[tomloge]

I hope you're right.  I think they keep it close, but I think the Steelers win it.  Of course, the Steelers are not what they used to be either.  Again, I really hope I'm wrong big time, but I will pick Steelers 23-17.  

 

Just kind of leery, because I know the Steelers have slaughtered the Andrew Luck Colts at least once, maybe several times.

[BigQandTheManiac]

Idk man. Ben vs this secondary and defense??? Honestly, I don't feel good about it. Let's see what happens though.

[IinD]

I will never believe a win against Pitt until I see it.

 

They absolutely have had our number for a long time.

 

Homer me wants a win, but I wouldn't be surprised by us getting blown out.

 

We'll see I guess.

[runthepost]

All I have to say is I'm starting bell and brown next week

[NorthernBlue]

I think they can pull it out absolutely. I say the Colts had less of a shot against the Packers on the road, and they ended up pulling that one out. Having said that, I'm still picking Pittsburgh to win this game. Huge game for both teams and I just think Brown, Bell, Ben and Co just make more big plays.

 

31-21 Pittsburgh pulls it out on TNF by SNF

[TKnight24]

3 game win streak after Thursday 

 

Won't lose again until we play Minnesota 

[Buck Showalter]

Time the team gets that monkey off their back!!!!

[Tsarquise]

Pain.

Mixed in with a little heartburn for us fans from eating.

The wins being in 05 and 08, correct? Both years they won the SB. Lol

[dw49]

looks like opening line on the game is Pitt favored by 2.5 to 3.

Yeah that's why I can't say or feel they'll win.

 

They're just one of 'those' teams against us. Bad things usually happen...for us.

Wasn't the 05 game the opening bomb to Marvin?

 

08 i remember Rhodes scoring out of the backfield on a pass in Pitt I think.

Yep, the 05 game opened with a bomb to Marvin. What a great game. Too bad it wasn't reproduced in the post season.

That's surprising, despite the history of the series.

I was there it was 27 0 or something like that. And then in the playoffs the Oline forgot how to block. That was the best Colts team in Indy in my opinion, even the D was good that year. The Colts, while having great offensive talent over the years still haven't figured out championships are built on line play. 

[mahagga73]

Steelers are a great franchise but they seem to be blessed too. Nobody saw Bell or Brown being this good in the NFL. Or Big Ben, etc.

Absolutely agree, our SB wins should have been 05,06 ....at a minimum.

 

05 Colts were way better then 06.

[a06cc]

I straight up say I hate the stealers. I hate them more than the Patriots. This game means a lot to me.

The 07 Colts were better than 06 too Imo. If it weren't for injuries  I think the 07 Colts would have won the Super Bowl too.

The Steelers defense isn't all that , so I think they could score some points.

We definitely left some SB's on the table.

 

Granted stuff happens, but we were primed for multiple championships if things had just went our way a bit more.

I always think about that ESPN mag cover that said something like Team 2000 on it. I was sure they would have had more playoff success than they did .

Yeah it's sad looking back. We had LONG stretches where we'd go on winning streaks destroying teams, not just beating them.

 

January usually ended sadly for us.

[CR91]

If we can slow down bell, we might have a chance. big ben isn't healthy and you can see it with his play

January usually ended sadly for us.  They just have never , or rarely had a well balanced team and it's cost them against teams that were well rounded like NE and Pitts when it counted. 

[chad72]

I don't think Big Ben will be the issue, limit Le'Veon Bell (to less than 100 all purpose yards) and we will have a good chance to win.

 

Colts 31 Steelers 27

[krunk]

The offense is going to have to put up some numbers as well as drives that keep Pitt off the field.

Yeah I don't want to imagine how our D will look if we many have those 1 minute 3 and out drives on O.

0-5 against them in the playoffs.  Post season losses in 75, 76, 95, 96, 2005.

 

6-22 against the Steelers all-time.  They own us.

That would make thanksgiving even better honestly. Pitt is in that NE/SD category for me of teams I hate.

Same for me.  They rank over the  Chargers though for me.  On par with New England for me since the Colts have actually fared better vs. the Pats compared to Pittsburgh.

Pitt by 14+

They're all in that same 'crap bowl' for me..lol. They all equally have my absolute 100% hate/dislike, whatever you'd like to label it.

[Coltsman1788]

If Pittsburgh comes out in those ugly hamburgler uniforms again..."hide your children and hide your wife" because they're fittin to put up another fiddy on us.  lol
