I'm taking the Steelers over the Jets today 17-12. The Jets get 1 TD, 1 FG, and 1 safety.

Matchup to watch: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger vs. Jets S LaRon Landry September 16, 2012 12:02 am By Gerry Dulac / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
How much time did the Steelers spend in their no-huddle offense in Denver?
Enough to use three wide receivers on 54 of their 71 plays against the Broncos, the second most by a National Football League team on opening weekend. The Steelers always use three wide receivers in their no-huddle offense, but that doesn't mean all the plays are passes. In fact, the Steelers attempted 45 passes against the Broncos and ran the ball 26 times.
Compare that to the pass-happy New Orleans Saints, who had just 10 running plays -- and 28 incompletions -- in their upset loss at home against the Washington Redskins.
"Even though we were in the no-huddle at the end of the first half and most of the second half, I was calling a lot of those runs," said quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. "I think people need to realize that just because we're in the no-huddle and we're calling the plays doesn't mean I'm calling all passes."

Steelers matchup: Wide receivers vs. Jets’ cornerbacks By Mark Kaboly Published: Sunday, September 16, 2012, 12:01 a.m. Updated 9 hours ago
STEELERS WRs vs. JETS CBs Matchup: With Darrelle Revis ruled out, the Jets no longer enjoy their usual depth at cornerback. They still have Antonio Cromartie and Kyle Wilson, but not many teams have three top-notch receivers like the Steelers do in Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders. The Jets find themselves in a tough position and likely will have to play a lot more zone than their typical man-to-man coverage to compensate.

Rex Ryan of Jets still haunted by losses at Steelers By Kareem Copeland Around the League Writer Published: Sept. 16, 2012 at 08:30 a.m. Updated: Sept. 16, 2012 at 08:44 a.m.
Heinz Field is the location of two of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan's most difficult moments. He lost two AFC championships there as a head coach and defensive coordinator.
"It's a tough place to play," Ryan recently told the New York Post. "The fans are great, but that was a tough loss -- there's no doubt about it. If we win this week, is it going to make up for that loss? No. Absolutely not. That was a championship game, and this is obviously a regular-season game."

My ouija board also tells me that Ben, Mike Wallace, and Isaac Redman have good games on offense and Woodley, Clark, and Foote have a good game on defense. I also see Steve McLendon, Willie Colon, and Jason Worilds contributing today.
Will Johnson will also start to establish himself as a solid FB for this team.

Steelers’ defense focused on stopping Jets' Greene By Ralph N. Paulk Published: Sunday, September 16, 2012, 12:01 a.m.
Ike Taylor isn’t buying what the media is selling about the Jets’ supposedly vaunted wildcat offense.
The veteran cornerback conceded the Steelers are prepared for the Mark Sanchez-Tim Tebow packages.
Yet, Taylor vehemently insisted the defense isn’t obsessed or distracted by the wildcat, in part, because running back Shonn Greene still ignites an offense that tallied 48 points –– a franchise record for a season opener — after struggling mightily during the preseason.
With the spotlight on Sanchez and Tebow, Greene pounded the Buffalo defense with 27 carries for 94 yards. Greene’s stat sheet wasn’t overly impressive, but he effectively kept Dave Wannstedt’s defense off balance.
Again, that will be the key when the Jets face the Steelers Sunday at Heinz Field in what could be a pivotal AFC game. The Steelers haven’t started 0-2 since 2002.
“The game’s evolving, so players have to become more intelligent,” safety Will Allen said. “The game isn’t nearly as vanilla as it used to be. You have to understand how teams want to attack you. ...They will try to dink and dunk us with short passes to see where our defense is flowing.”
If the Steelers are to defuse the Jets’ offense, they must first unplug Greene. They accomplished that in the 2010 AFC Championship Game, partly because they sprinted to a 24-0 lead to force the Jets to abandon their power ground game.

I got the Steelers 27-17.
Three Roethlisberger touchdown passes, and two Sushi field goals. One Sanchez touchdown pass, one Shonn Greene running touchdown and a Nick Folk field goal.
GO STEELERS!

I usually play some two on two everyday with me neighbor and his daughter, and a friend of mine or a cousin. I played QB for my High School last year, and the year before. I can sling it about 60 yards.
EDIT: We play in the street, though.

Worth noting Woodley put pressure on Sanchez BOTH times he was allowed to rush. Wake the fuck up Lebeau.
Looks like our offense is going to have to win it, and based on our line's blocking in the first drive, chalk this one up as a loss.

Defense has seemed to settle down and is now more focused. Since I missed pretty much the entire first quarter while CBS showed the ratbirds and the iggles game to completion.

Well, they we're god awful on the first couple of drives, but they've gotten better. Offense improved too.

I agree, there has been some improvement.
If the Steelers get that first down...the Refs were awfully generous. However, the Jets'll win this.
