Steelers/Texans game

[stillwright]

So we have had every game this weekend competitive. A NFL record of fourth quarter lead changes.

Who here believes we keep the game close? I will be rooting for a win. That said.....

Seems over the last handful of playoff games we have had I always tell myself ......it can't get any worse then our last playoff game. Then it is the same old same old result.

Should I feel confident for a win? Get my hopes up?......or just hope to keep it a competitive game until the end?

I want a win!!
Multiple wins!!!!
A SB win!!!!


Am i delusional...asking to much?

Or will reality set in well before the 1st quarter is finished as history has shown us our last 5 or 6 playoff games?

Thoughts anyone?

Well if your criticism of Tomlin has been as intense as most others, then you answered your own question!!!

You’re asking too much!

Not sure the Texans have the offense to run away with it, as long as the Steelers offense doesn't turn the ball over several times.

I think the Texans will win, but I honestly feel better about this one with Dylan Cook at LT than I would have with Broderick Jones still playing.

The Steelers blocking overall has been noticeably better with Cook, and that's important against a defense like the Texans.

Running is probably going to be tough, but getting Metcalf back is a pretty big deal, as hopefully it opens up more room for Rodgers and Freiermuth to continue some of what they established last week.

Seriously, if they don't target Freiermuth 5+ times in this game, they may as well just trade him in the off-season because that contract makes no sense otherwise.

cant guarantee a win of course, but feel better about this game than any since 2020

What if they let AARON do HIS thing? No conservative bullshit that we have done in the last 5 or 6 playoff games... we cone out and play to win instead of not losing? Give Rodgers control perhaps?

Defensively......be aggressive. If they beat us on a play then props to them. They laid back and give them free yards has to stop if you want to win in the playoffs.

Tomlin....get it done !!!!

SB win? I'd say that's a bit delusional, but Godbless ya for the hope you hold in your heart!

I think the Texans are beatable, but our offense (particularly the line) will have to have their best showing of the season to get it done

Never say never.

What does everyone think Metcalf will do? Will he be a difference maker? Will he open our O up? Or will we just throw screens and 4 yard hooks/outs to him all game?. Will Muth be a bigger factor in the passing game? Or will Austin or Gainwell out preform him?
