I guess I'm starting the Steelers / Cheats prediction thread

NE has a good defense but they cannot score, as evidenced by getting shut out by the worst defense in the NFL. That 0-0 score someone predicted could actually come true.

Have you seen how good rookie quarterbacks and backups have looked against this defense?

He could very well light them up, but I honestly think the pats**** are tanking it for a qb in the draft.
 
Both teams stink, which obviously = a high scoring game. Coach Shades couldn't beat Belecheat when he had good teams.

Cheats 52 Stinkers 49
 
Steelers 13
Pats 9

Turnovers

Steelers give up 2

I don’t think their **** defense is any better than ours, so there is that.

Tomlin outright denied Jalen Warrens answer to reporters about taking the cards lightly. Said the media has a way of baiting the players into answers, or taking answers out of context.,

My point, if they never over-looked as Coach Tomlin suggests, then why were they so ill prepared by his coaching staff ? Either way it falls on Coach Tomlin.

When will enough be enough for Art II? The Pittsburgh media is sounding off on Tomlin, some x players, and Jaylan Warren letting the cat out of the bag with taking the Cards too light. I’m finding myself more and more checked out on this team. We had a group of x Western Pa folks watching this past Sunday at the pub and everyone said the same damn thing. This is just too hard to keep watching this team.

I don't think they were ill prepared for this game. The offense and defense both looked good to start the game. Stupid penalties by players early on the field killed some drives and then injuries hit and killed the game. This was a **** show but until the team ran out of ILB's the coaches were the least of the problems. Then communications broke down.
 
every drive on in the 4th every down will matter, grimy game

We know Zappe is crap they love to run have 2 big backs if Porter can shut down Juju and force them to throw into traffic to the TE hopefully, we get a pair of gifts.
I would consider how teams are now doing the hack a shaq crap to TJ, If Adams is Healthy anhow unimpressive the other MLB was I would consider playing if with a Mionkhah plays him at MLB and go 5-2-4
edge Watt DT Adams DT Heyward DT Ojunobi LB/Edge Hignsmith MLB Roberts LB/S Minkah CB #17 right on TE CB wallace CB Porter CB Wallace S Kazee S/CB Peterson
 
Prediction??

The steelers have made me try that several times now
 
If I were a tad more cynical, Id change my game prediction to 0-0

But what I am really expecting is to be a totally unexpected shootout because you know that total fluke game is coming for both these teams
 
The pats are awful. I think that BB may be tanking. Not the players, they are probably playing hard but I have a feeling BB is holding things back to lose on purpose and get himself a new QB.

Tomlin's biggest strength is getting the team to play great on national TV games. That's what will happen. Steelers will look good winning. We'll hear 3 hours of how great Tomlin is and how those darn players just didn't play up to his lofty standards vs the cards. If only they could match Tomlin's level every week.

Steelers 24
Pats 9

Big win. Everything's fine. No need to worry about a thing,

I do not understand what you are trying to say. It was on the coaches only when the team ran out of ILBs?

Aside from one or two calls on offense I had no issues with the coaching early in the game. Once we lost Roberts the coaching on defense and on offense seemed to **** the bed along with the rest of the team. Losing our starting guard on offense didn't help either. This is in regards to being prepared to start the game comments mainly. People saying we were not ready. I disagree with that as we came out playing pretty well and should have put the game away early if not for players making stupid penalties during the plays. The procedural issues cropped up after the injuries hit and we started having the pre-snap issues. Aside from the 4th down decision I put this loss more on the players than the coaches, this game. At least that was my perspective from being in the stadium versus watching on tv.

There were 2 illegal formation penalties and a timeout by the O in the first half alone.
That lack of preparation is on the coaching staff: they did not have the players ready.
Injuries to LG do not cause these issues; certainly contributed to Cole's hole where the C is supposed to be; again the coaches need to be prepared for both overmatched OL and injuries. If that is not their job, who is responsible?
