| I've got a good feeling about this game. I think the defense picks up where it left off Sunday and the offense continues to evolve and improve. Steelers 31, Titans 13 _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

| I think we'll have 500 yards of total offense in this one, and 30+ points. Ben throws 2+ touchdowns, and Mendenhall and Redman chip in near the redzone. _________________ "Either you're playing dumb, or it's not an act". -Judge Judy

I've got so many things going on right now it'll be a miracle if I make it to kickoff today... working from home working with contractor doing laundry All I know is that by next weekend my house will almost be back to normal. Then it's on and hopefully I'll have a little more time to match your post whoring. _________________ 60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND Don't choose good when greatness is available! | |

| Hoping to see that bomb to Wallace for a touchdown we've all been waiting for, but also hoping we carry-out a dink-n-dunk offense to keep the defense honest, with the added benefit of tough Mendenhall running.

Am I asking too much? They say you always want what you don't have. Last year, we were complaining about all the deep passes. This year, we're complaining because there's no deep passes. Seriously though, I agree. With Wallace, I think you have to chuck it deep at least two times a game and let him go get it. As happy as I am with Haley and the way things are going, that's my one complaint about the offense so far. There's no excuse for not taking at least a couple shots deep with Wallace every game. _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

As happy as I am with Haley and the way things are going, that's my one complaint about the offense so far. There's no excuse for not taking at least a couple shots deep with Wallace every game. Well, the offense is showing a lot more short passes for a reason: The offensive line isn't exactly an all-star squad. I have a feeling that Ben will find Wallace deep for seven against teams with lackluster defense lines. What's the ETA on the Titans Defense? _________________ "Either you're playing dumb, or it's not an act". -Judge Judy
