Steeler Hitman Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Who: Da Steelers host Da Bears When: Monday Night Football 11/8/2021 @ 8:15 pm Where: Heinz Field Series History: Dominated by Da Bears 19-7-1. Bears have won the last (3) three games including a 23-17 OT win in chi Town back in 2017. The Steelers run defense was on hiatus that game. Bears ran for more than 200 yards. Steelers rushing attack took flight in Cleveland and they will need another heavy dose of ground and pound versus Da Bears. Najee is starting to separate from the field. He and the OL was a major reason the Steelers pulled out a win in Cleveland. Don't look now, but the Steelers OL has improved over the past few weeks. They did a solid job protecting Big Ben and they opened holes for Najee. Steelers need to be a little more disciplined with the holding and pre snap penalties on offense. There's a new sheriff in town at TE. Steelers defense has not been stellar, but have forced some timely turnovers and made key stops. Consistency will be a key in preventing rookie Justin Fields from hurting the Steelers with a big play via his arm or legs. The Bears put a beating on the Steelers the last time both teams played a prime time game back in 2013. Different teams and one common factor in Big Ben. Ben threw for 400 yards in the loss and the Steelers dropped to 0-3. I am hoping that the Steelers are trending in a different direction. The Bears match up well with Pittsburgh and is typically a pesky nemesis for the Steelers. History aside, I think the Steelers play ugly as usual, but pull out a win over the rookie leading the Bears offense. Steelers come out pumped up and hold on for a hard fought 26 - 19 win. Boz hopefully is back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 6-1 all time in the color rush. Tomlin is 1-3 vs the Bears. Ben is 1-1. I want to say the Bears are too bad to lose to but I felt that last time when they started Glennon. I think the big difference between now and then is we are a much better balanced team top to bottom despite the anemic offense. Back then if it weren't Bell and Brown nothing happened. The defence was still sucks-city. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Bears will come out with the same gameplan as the Browns. Run heavy and force the Steelers to stay in their base defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Fields' mobility worries me. I hope we're used to it by now because of Lamar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 This would typically be a classic Tomlin trap game. However, we simply arent a good team, and could lose this straight up. OR, we could possibly take a game like this more seriously than we usually would and have a good game. I expect it to be much like the Browns game....close, low scoring and pretty damn boring.

Monday at work, the first thing a coworker said to me was "That was an ugly win". My response was, "With this offense, every win will be ugly". Then I saw a bunch of people bashing the Steelers for the Melvin Ingram trade, saying he was worth much more to us than a 6th rounder and that trading him to KC could bite us in the playoffs....as if THAT will be the reason we will lose. This season just needs to end so we can hopefully make some much needed changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait....what? He wants out then when other teams say that's what his value is, his response is "shoulda kept me?" Damn I'm glad he's gone.

Damn I'm glad he's gone. Ha....I meant some Steeler fans were saying we shouldve kept him. Im not happy with Ingram either. He knew his role when we signed him. He expected more play even though he hardly did anything after preseason and week 1. I thought he was going to be an amazing signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought other than the amount of dead money created for next year Colbert put together a strong squad for the most part. Then the Groin Gang happened. Then everyone buy Heyward on defense suddenly forgot how to do anything. Tuitt has been MIA and things have been too quiet (man I remember calling to trade him and keep Gravedigger....). Ben looks all of 39 out there. Juju wrecks his shoulder. I gotta say the overall trash state of the roster, this has been some of Tomlins best work to keep it at 4-4 (getting your kicker concussed not withstanding) (why do that with no backup plan) (Why wasn't he coached by Smith to throw it away if nothing is there) (Why wasn't there a flag). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I actually kind of like watching this team. I'm fascinated by the O-line and run game. It's pretty refreshing to see. We've got the bones of a fantastic team. We just need to fill in the cracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
