[Official] Steelers @ Texans

this.

hines might be someone kareem can actually cover. If hines ward is beating us, the texans dont deserve a win.

wallace will have 300 yards on kareem, easy

 

Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf are turning into Texan regulars.

 

Dumbledorf is annoying but Gumbel is alright.

Better than the Task Force and Ian, at least.

But nobody compares to Gus Johnson RIP

 

I'll be happy with a 1-1 split in this 2 game "series" between two really good teams. Disappointing last week, but I'll be happy for a rebound against the Steelers.

 

I can easily see us beating the Steelers and losing to the Raiders. I really don't want us to drop two in a row @ Baltimore and @ Tennessee though. We need to go 2-2 over this stretch. 1-3 wouldn't kill us, but it would be a definite setback.

 

The Steelers have given up the most sacks in the AFC since 2008, Rashard Mendenhall and that offensive line suck out loud, and they have a -9 turnover differential in 2011 so far. Other than Troy Polamalu, where do you see the bullying coming from??

I see this game being close for about a half, and then the Texans come out in the second half, and start flexing their offensive muscles. Just like we need an answer for Mike Wallace, they need an answer for Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels. Randall Gay and Ryan Clark won't be able to stick with them.

Texans : 31
Steelers : 17

 

Maybe we'll get a "push" by an "invisible hand" and actually make that long awaited jump this year. Does the NFL still have fewer cameras and stuff for the non-headline games like they used to do? Or do all the games have the same number of TV cameras to help give more angles for things like replays and reviews?

 

Sound analysis. This is not the Steelers of old. Antonio Smith will have a big impact on this game with multiple sacks. Wallace will probably burn the Texans at least once, but Andre and the Texans TE's will burn them much more. Texans for the win.

 

Texans 33
Steelers 17

We shut down Wallace, Ward gets his, while Schaub passes for 500 yards and Tate runs for 200.

¡¡¡VAMOS, TEXANS !!!!

(it's Pink Ribbon day, mother truckers... no homo )

 

I wouldn't worry about Hines.


I'd worry about Antonio Brown. He is younger, faster, and getting more targets than Ward is.

 

Hoping for a game to get last week out of my mind. I hate posting after a loss.

Hopefully, Kubiak will try more rushing plays this week.

 

I think it will be 28-17 Texans. I'm more afraid of stopping Darren Mcfadden's run next week than Mendenhall this game. Steelers have not looked good at all this year. Plus I think we will come out strong at home to bounce back from the game last week.

 

We are a great matchup for the Steelers, believe it or not.

Mendenhall isn't great catching out of the backfield, nor is Heath Miller impossible to cover (he's just got good hands and they set him up fairly well). Those two things have been our biggest weaknesses lately.

Mike Wallace is going to get his, but at the very least Hines Ward won't burn Kareem down the seam. He'll just be catching 8 yard passes all day. We'll just have to protect the redzone and we should be good.

If we can get a lead, Roethlisberger will get seriously pounded. If we make dumb mistakes and wind up behind by 2 scores or more, then Schaub is going to get that pounding instead.

We should win this game based on the matchups and homefield. Foster should have a productive day, and Owen Daniels/James Casey should be big factors as well.

 

Steelers know HOW to win; Texans don't. But, the Texans talent level is better at the moment. This should be close. Texans 21 Steelers 17. If it is the other way around, the sky falls in Houston..."same ole Texans, can't beat the good teams, lack confidence, .....

 

He's calling an NFL game on FOX this Sunday.

 

We really need Arian or else our RZ offense will lack once again....resulting in another L.

 

Gus Johnson? On FOX?

Gus is awesome, but even I don't think he can save the crappy broadcast that FOX puts together.

 

"O boy!..Foster...STILL RUNNING!...Coach, put me in the game!..." - Gus Johnson,..awe, the memoirs..

edit to make post official- texans 28- Steelers 10

 

Not to 2nd guess this , but Mendenhall's ability to catch passes out the backfield is the least of our worries... Physicality and toughness is all they want to instill on us... Ward is gonna school K.Jack for 4 quarters if we let him play man coverage all game... KJax's probably isnt just coverage , its instincts too... If I see a double-move by Ward work, I'mma lose my mind...Unfortunately its a strong possibility....
I think there D poses more problems for us than vice versa... But I think we have a better shot than we had against the Saints though

 

This is a headline game. Most of the country that receives a noon game on CBS is airing this one.
