I do not know if the Steelers can win this game.The Panthers are 13-1 in their last 14 games in the regular season and they probably have the best defense in the NFL after Seattle.They allowed just 21 points in two games this year and they won their first game of the year with Derek Anderson. Cam Newton is a very good QB, so if the pass rush of the steelers is bad again, it will be ugly again.
Your prediction for this game?
It's going to be a tough game on the road for the steelers to win and, if the defense does not play better i don't see the offense scoring 30 points in this one.
I see another ugly disaster in the works. Everything single angle you look at points to a Steelers loss, and a bad one at that.
Carolina actually has a defense that can actually stop the run, the Steelers don't. Cam Newton will shred the Defense, Ike Taylor will make an ass of himself again, and Tomlin will just stand there with that goofy look on his face as Carolina puts up another score turning the game into a laugher, and like I said last week, it doesn't matter whoever the opponent trots out at RB, the Run D will get gashed for several chunks and surrender another 100+.
The Steelers are a one-man team right now. They have no Defense, they can't force turnovers, and they have a mediocre Offense. Ben has to be absolutely perfect for them to have a chance, and even that is a HUGE stretch, as Ben struggles with his own consistency. His performance in Baltimore was downright miserable.
Carolina in a boat race. 30-14. Steelers get a garbage time touchdown.

The Panthers defense has made six turnovers in two games this year and their offense has committed 0 turnover.

The Panthers are better than the Ravens so I dont have much hope going in to this game.

Carolina win's 56-3. The only reason it's not higher is because Carolina got worn out ! ( the 3 pts. is garbage points scored in final 2 min.)
31-22 panthers

Interesting, because these are the types of games the Steelers would win in the past. All the chips are down, they find a way to beat a good opponent on the road.
Unfortunately, this isn't 2010, or 2012 for that matter.
Panthers win, 27-10.
27-13 Panthers. Steelers get their only touchdown in garbage time.
You don't have to agree with me, but I do recomend it.

I'm going 21-17 for the Steelers. More likely to be 7 field goals than 3 touchdowns.
And Steelers fan start talking SB, prematurely naturally.

Panthers 28-16. Williams/Stewart run wild. Benjamin tears up the secondary.
Cotch converts some key 3rd downs and him and Fernando celebrate against their old team.
Panthers 108
Steelers 2*
*McCullers with the safety/sack early... then he comes back out of the game for Thomas

Panthers 23 - Steelers 20
Steelers offense doesn't look like trash, but defense still can't tackle when needed. Steelers do however force a turnover, but also commit a turnover.

This will be a good indicator of where things stand. I predict Ben comes up big and we win 24-21

34-10 Panthers, they will outclass the Steelers both offensively and defensively. The defense is every bit as good as they were last year and Cam Newton is better than Hoyer and Flacco, who both tore up the Steelers defense

I predict Big Dan will get a pick before Ike.

I say the Steelers surprise everyone and win this game
I don't care about the score, I don't see us beating Carolina, period.
The early betting line has Carolina favored by 3. Carolina is 6-0-1 against the spread as a home favorite dating back to last season; Pittsburgh is 4-8 against the spread as a road underdog since 2011.

If the Steelers win this game, it would be huge,since it could perhaps be said that the game against the ravens were a fluke.And the Steelers would have 2-1 and a favorable schedule after this game
But of course it could be ugly,because the defense of the Panthers had 60 sacks last year and if the running game of the Panthers turn it on, it will be very ugly to watch
It's going to be a tough game to win on the road and, usually I'm a half glass full type of person. Ben & the offense will have to score 30 points and, the defense well will to actually stop someone for a change. What the heck Ben puts together a big night steelers 31-24.

Wait, we weren't talking about it already? I thought the reason we were so upset by the lose last week was because it hurt our chances of the SB?!?
Marcus Gilbert gets put on his ass at least 4 times. I'm calling it already. Expect to lose a lineman in the process.
It the line can protect Ben we may have a chance. I wonder if they plan on playing two TEs on the right side.

I'm going with the upset, 23 - 20 Steelers. Panthers are banged up.
