Am I the only one that still feels like we owe the Steelers a good ass kicking for that 31-19 SB loss?

The Steelers always seem to be a team that out physicals us and shuts our offense down.

Their offense can be absolute garbage, but we tend to let those types go down the field.

I honestly don't think we need to try to run on the Steelers. They are built to shut that shit down.

Gotta dial up some passes vs them and by all means plan to neutralize Watt or its game over.

I don't know.. they're pretty bad on D this year.. near the bottom overall and against the run.

I'd keep being physical.

Biggest problem on offense is Pickens.. he's the kind of guy who can wreck a defense.

I hope the coach is patient and sticks with the run in the 3rd and 4th quarter after we wear them down in the trenches.
This will be a low scoring, Rock'em sock'em game.

OK good to know. I know Cam Heyward is on IR, but haven't followed too many of their games.

I know they have faced a few good run teams such as the Niners and Browns and the Ravens.

If it's there for the taking them by all means. Not going to hurt to try especially coming off a good ground game.

Dotson revenge game. Wherever we play, there will be more Steeler fans. Should be a win with a balanced attack on offense and if we’re steady on D.

One of my buddies is a Die-Hard squealer fan.

I know he is gonna want to come over and watch the game at my house... but I don't know if I'm gonna allow it. Squealer fans can be extra annoying.

Not sure what to make of the Steelers. They're 3-2. Their two losses were blowout losses. Their offense does struggle it seems. But they have a good pass rush with TJ Watt. Rams can let him disrupt Stafford most the game. They gotta give help to whoever is on his side.

This could have the makings of a low scoring game. As long as the Rams don't turn it over I think its a game they should win.

After checking stats the Steelers are tied for the least offensive touchdowns with the Giants at 6. 5 passing zero rushing TD's. Not sure how they call it 6. I know they have 7 total TD's with two defensive scores against the Browns.

They are second to last in rushing yards per carry at 3.4. Second to last in passing yards but they do have one less game with their bye this pass weekend. So its likely they move up a bit there. But they are 26th in passer rating at 78.6.

Bottom line, minus the two defensive scores their offense averages around 13 points per game. Like I said, its a game we should win but the NFL is week to week. Turnovers change everything. They have a premier pass rusher in Watt. I think taking care of of the ball should be a primary focus this week. Do that and we should win.

As long as they don't let TJ Watt wreck the game and we run the ball like we did yesterday we should be fine. Let Dotson do some road grading to show them what they are missing. Kenny Pickett sucks so I'll be disappointed if we let him get comfortable.

If Mcvay doesn't play into the Steelers hands we should win. Steelers offense is dead. It's their defense and special teams being an absolutely nuisance that's keeping them in games. Play a ball control game and we should win.
