I think what the Steelers do best on offense, actually plays right into the hands of what the Colts do best defensively.

 

1. Steelers like to run the ball, Colts are pretty good vs the run.

2. Steelers like to use a lot of short drag routes, which should allow our LBs to lay lumber over the middle.

3. Steelers seem to turn the ball over quite a bit, our defense gets the ball back often as well.

 

 

Side note, ESPN countdown just keeps talking and talking about Steelers. Smh.

To your last sentence, of course. To many at ESPN think we are just a little ol college team, they slobber all over teams like the Pats, Steelers, even the stinky Cowboys - been going on for years. How some don't see that is baffling. I am not complaining about the media before @NewColtsFan questions me (I love you newcolts by the way) but just bringing up a fact. Today is a statement game, we beat their butt today, ESPN and the NFL network will have no choice to take us serious.

Not feeling good about today. Here is why..

Colts playing in Pitt

Playing outdoors in cold

Steelers will be mad. Want to stop losing streak.

Ebron's big day. Ex Colts always came back and kill the Colts.

Steelers getting players back.

With Colts tackles gone, Watt will be on Rivers all day. Haden and Fitzpatrick will blanket colts Wr.'s

Colts won't be able to open holes for run game.

Hope i'm wrong, But just my 2 cents

 

The Colts defense can force turnovers.

There was a time when the media loved the Colts too. It lasted over a decade.

There is a big difference between the media and talking heads

Even when we had Peyton (the GOAT) there were still many that said he couldn't win the big one, the team was soft, etc.. In 2006 Bob Sanders told them to stuff it

Hopefully we see a few wildcat formations woth Taylor and Hines today

I think it could be really effective after seeing how the Bengals used RPOs so well against them

So Holden and Green starting at Tackles ??  Surprised Nelson wasnt shifted again and Pinter not getting called up. Interesting

 

They probably kept him inside at guard to match up against Cam Heyward, who is probably their best defensive player. Pinter isn't strong enough at the moment to hold up against a player like Heyward.

This is how I feel about that as well.

 

We were still overlooked in those days to.

The CBS pregame show is much more tolerable than whatever is on ESPN. I recommend avoiding blah blah blah FOX as well

That is one reason we need to win this game. It is a respect game and sets us up for a chance to win the division.

I don't blame you

You mean you avoid the 12 hours of nonstop coverage leading up to the Superbowl?

It goes back to my playing and coaching days

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

In warmups it looks like Holden at left tackle and green at right tackle. Reich said this morning though they could adjust as the game goes on.

Anyone watching with their babies?

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Not my babies.  )

My babies are not babies anymore haha, my teenage son is an Eagles fan (poor soul) and my teenage daughter hates football altogether (another poor soul). She will likely be covering her ears as I scream ungodly obscenities at the TV for two hours (whether we are winning or losing LOL)

[w87r]

A lot will be known by 4pm est today.

 

Again, Go:

 

Colts

Jets

Giants

 

 

......Packers later tonight

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We are going to have to get creative for sure. That’s why I said wouldn’t mind Jacoby getting more snaps.

He may be brought in more unless Rivers is just playing near perfect.
