Well. Julius Peppers and the Bears D will have a feast on our O line, and Cutler has shredded us in the past. 0-3 here we go unless we pull a miracle of some sort with the pathetic play that we have shown.

Hard to be optimistic, but Cutler has issues as well. Maybe they can get it turned around this week? :crossed:
I'm going way, way, way out on a limb and say we win this game. I just can't believe we would go 0-3. I really don't think the AFC North is that good and if we could go 1-2 we may be able to fight ourselves back. UGH....what a situation to be in at the START of the football season. :(
My gut instinct says the Steelers will win this game somehow. It's at home and on Sunday night in prime time, and I think this team will come out and play with a sense of purpose. Cutler also takes some chances, and I think the defense will finally get a couple turnovers this week.
....of course, this could also just be wishful thinking on my part!
I think that our D has the potential to get inside Cutler's head a little. He can do some dumb things if he's pressured....we'll see what happens.Quote:

But if the play falls apart....if he has to avoid a rush...if his receiver is jammed at the line of scrimmage...he is NOT good at thinking on his feet and making something out of nothing. Sooooo...if we are going to have a chance, we need to blitz him and jam his recievers. Once his head is on a swivel he is ripe for the picking.
Yeah it is hard for me to say the steelers can win this game because, anyone who knows me knows I always think the steelers can win any game. Again the offense has to produce and, the line must play better Ben included look he has not been horrible I mean look at Eli Manning 7 picks. We need the defense to make one big splash play and, maybe then we will have a chance.
I don't like the chances for our offense against their defense
Anyone know Cutlers record against us? I seem to remember him doing well.
2-0 with 105.6 QB rating.....never played in PittsburghQuote:

I'm gonna go WAY out on a limb here and say that we somehow manage to pull a win out of our asses this week, even against the Bears.
I think the interior line might match up well against the Bears. Looks like Fernando takes up some space. The tackles on the outside however...ouch. They should dress every lineman they can get their hands on and insert them as TE's and FB's.
We might slow up the Bears, but if we don't score more than 10 points we will lose due to the turnover ratio.
I could totally see them stepping up their game and beating the Bears Sunday Night.Quote:

Sure, the running game sucked, but so do the running backs; we generally had enough time to get passes off and weren't in trouble too often. I'm more worried about their offense - every time we play the Bears, some tight end goes off on us for like 400 yards and 12 touchdowns on 80 catches on this crappy underneath stuff. If we can contain that, we have as good a shot as any at winning this game.
I could see a 5 game losing streak; an unleash hell comment and this board blowing up with Preachers ass kick smiley. : chuckle:Quote:

It's hard not to be concerned. Our putrid tackles going up against Julius Peppers? Our running backs against the Bears stop unit? Plus the Bears offense seems improved. I am concerned about this game
