I hope Ben has another 500+ yarder in him next week. With this defense, they're probably going to need it...

i fully expect an ass whopping so anything else would be a positive surprise.
This isn’t going to be pretty...I’m sticking with my prediction of a 45-20 ass whooping...maybe with Shazier it comes down to 35-38 to 20...but this defense can’t stop the run and can’t stop the quick pass or pass to the open zone and that’s what Tommy Boy has made a living on...the Patriots are beatable...but you have to play smart and play error free because they normally do...
Patriots open as 2&1/2 point favorites next Sunday - that seems low

No over/under posted yet - sportsbooks perhaps debating whether the first 100 point over/under should be posted
yeah our man coverage has looked pretty bad as well. that being said, i feel strangely optimistic about the game because Ben is arguably better than ever.
even if we lose this one and meet the patriots in the playoffs away from home, i still like our chances even if the defense cant stop brady
Yeah, you have to play perfect against New England, and this team seems completely incapable of that right now. The strategy of waiting until crunch time will show up and hope you can pull it out in the end won't work against New England.
2 more potential issues, both anyone could probably guess:
1. Coaching, New England has so much better coaching, the coaching will get outclassed
2. Refs, Goodell's refs have been trying to screw over the Steelers all year long, and no doubt the refs in this game will be heavily biased against Pittsburgh
Need Haden back like 2 weeks ago
I was so worried about Bell with that shot on his knee. So relieved when he came back out.
