VigilantZombie Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Who/What? Where? Injury Report: Steelers: Marcus Gilbert - Out James Conner - Questionable Ryan Switzer - Questionable Patriots: None History: New England Patriots lead series 16-15-0 (All time) Steelers record since drafting Ben Roethlisberger: 3-9 (last victory was October 30, 2011) Stats: Tom Brady: 3,700 yds, 23 TDs, 8 Ints ( just 2 games in the last 8, he did not throw an int, however he only has 2 in the last 3 games, 2 vs. Miami) Ben Roethlisberger: 4,227 yds, 28 TDs, 13 Ints (3 Ints in last 2 weeks) Team Sacks: Pittsburgh ranks 2nd. New England Ranks 29th Turnovers: NE total: 26 / / Pittsburgh Total: 18 3rd down conversions (against): Pittsburgh -- 7th (36.8%) / / New England -- 22nd (40.5%) Offensive Scoring: Pittsburgh (5th) // New England (6th) Offensive 3rd Down Conversions: Pittsburgh -- 7th // New England -- 10th' So, it sets up like this, New England comes into Pittsburgh as the heavy favorite and for obvious reason. They're most likely going to spread out our defense and try to pass on us at will. Can we really say they're not going to succeed? The Steelers have got to be foaming at the mouth for a win and this coaching staff I'm sure wants to redeem themselves, the pressure is on. New England is only at Danger of becoming the #4 seed at worst, they're going to win their division. We however, are at risk of not even making the playoffs, we have to win 2 of the next 3 games to make the playoffs, unless Baltimore and Cleveland completely fall apart. James Conner hasn't practiced all week, most likely he isn't playing, that means we have no running game in this game. Artie Burns is starting. New England is loaded with weapons and is completely healthy. Here it is, not the best GDT, but I did my best, let's here your thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Alright, so my prediction. First and foremost I believe Chris Boswell will go 2/2 on Field Goals in this game. I also believe each team commits 3 turnovers in this game. Turnover breakdown: Tom Brady: 2 Ints , Cordarrelle Patterson (fumble on return) Ben Roethlisberger 2 Ints, Jaylen Samuels 1 Fumble Scores from Turnovers: NE: 3 TDs Pittsburgh 2 FGs, 1 TD Final Score: 45-23 NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 only hope for a win is for the offense to come out firing like they did against the colts in 2014, chiefs in 2016, Ravens 2007 etc... need 30-35 pts at halftime anything less than that kind of performance and we're losing in a blowout or another heartbreaker tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they get in this shootout and are on their way to getting back into it, possibly taking the lead, you guessed it, ben trows a bad int. Then to tied the game at the end of regulation, boswell oh, there is suspense isn't there Unless BB throws the game , benches a key player or 2 or if brady gets hurt AND doesn't play, I can't see us winning. Too many issues on our D, and brady used to carve up lebeau's D that was much better in every area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The Steelers will play tight man-to-man and Brady will kill them with dump offs to the RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 this game is fully on the offenses shoulders feel like its pointless in thinking what the defense will try to do, it won't matter..brady will still do whatever he pleases lol only way to slow them down is by owning TOP with drives ending in touchdowns ..keep brady off the field like they did in 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 If we win, can the "yeah, but we still arent winning the super bowl" and the "Im not even watching this team or the NFL next year" crowed just kindly excuse yourselves for the week. Enjoy the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried last year and never worked 1 hour ago, August4th said: by owning TOP with drives ending in touchdowns this is why they have to run Connor and tell ben to be quiet and run the play. No coincidence we were near 80% RZ when Connor was healthy and they ran him in the RZ. Maybe Ridley could do this too, but either way they need TOP and running game in RZ .

3rivers Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 will they let ridley have the most caries at RB and own TOP with Ridley? He has a better chance than samuels , but samuerles would be better for 3rd and long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
