Pitt always gets up for the ravens game. Could be a let down game for the Steelers. Be careful.
Vick didn't turn the ball over last week but the game was over when KC scored 2 TDs on their 1st 2 possessions.
The Jets might be 12th statistically against the pass but this is the worst secondary that I have ever seen a team have in the NFL. They are good against the run but most teams just take advantage of that abysmal secondary.
I mean other then the Jets are due for a win and the NFL has a lot of crazy stuff that happens week to week there aren't really many reasons to back them here.
If the NYJ secondary is so bad, then why after playing most games vs Pro Bowl caliber QBs, are in the top half of the league in pass yds against? Is NYJ defense suffering from public perception 101?
Opposing QBs have thrown 24 TDs and 1 INT vs. that Jets secondary this season. Rothlisburger should and probably will pick it apart just like every other QB has done. I think Rex has completely lost the team now. They have been awful the last 2 weeks vs. Buffalo and KC. I think the Steelers are better then both of them. I don't get why this line is so low. Maybe I'll get fooled and the Jets give the Steelers a run for their money. Will see.
If there was ever a case of a misleading statistic it's the Jets being a top 10 defense. They have let up crucial points before halftime in half their games . They can't make a stop on 3rd down, they have to lead the league in drives over 70 yards and might set the league record for least amount of takeaways. They have a safety playing one side at CB and started an unsigned rookie free agent on the other side this week. A JOKE is what they are .
I’ve watched every snap of every Steeler game this year.
How the Jets can win…
Ball control. Steelers are susceptible to the run on their right side. Thomas and Worlds can be run on.
Blitz Roethlisberger. He has a tendency to hold the ball to long.
Having said that, here’s how the Steelers can lose.
Insist on running the ball. Jets defense strength.
Roethlisberger not willing to take what the Jets give him IE short passes and check downs.
That’s it. If the Jets can’t blitz effectively they’re toast. After seeing Roethlisberger torch 2 pretty good defenses I don’t see any way they don’t cover.
What I’m hoping for is the Steelers take a clue from last years Denver team and continue to light up the score board and not rely on their D, play to their strength so to speak.
And let us hope they don’t pull another what was perceived at the time as a convincing road win over a quality Carolina Panthers team, then lose at home to what was a winless group of Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Then after a win in Jacksonville, they were beaten soundly by a Browns team they already had defeated.

I'm quite certain Tomlin got the stupid stick out and beat the hell out of his team with it after that tom-foolery. Ain't gonna happen again this season. Why in the hell does everyone at the RX have to over think these games??? Monday night, Colts only laying 3 and everyone here automatically ASSummed the Giants were the play....WRONG! The Jets are DOA, end of story, Rex will be packing up his office before all is said and done, I'm surprised he didn't get the ax Monday. Ben could very well add to his record with a third consecutive 6 TD performance, wouldn't surprise me if they're actually talking about that this week. GLTA, play the damn Steelazzz and thank me Monday.

Where in the hell did you come up with those numbers??? That has to be some real bullshit. Cleveland twice who it appears to be a better team than most would have predicted, the Ravens twice, the Colts, the Panthers...shit, only slacker I can think of is Tampa Bay. That has to be some serious off base bs.

Yo, chill.
Depends where you look. Powerz is probably going by this:

The latter has NYJ at 2nd!
But both have PIT 31st.
the line is extremely fishy..normally after seeing a guy on National tv light things up i would automatically fade them on the rd. Also all trends favor the Jets or are against the steelers,, but that said sometimes common sense has to take over. Pitt is my 3rd big play of the yr as posted in my thread..why?
Rex is a horrible in game coach..rarely does his team play well and with discipline. they must have had the least amt of penalties for the yr in the KC game and they still lost by 14 scoring a mere 10 points and that was without any turnovers.
the stadium will be full of steeler fans
as a huge Jet fan , who has watched almost every play in this horrible season (fortunately i was away for the Bills game or i might have smashed my tv)..they are undermanned
saying they could be #2 or #3 means they are not starters. Richardson has been average, I rather have Pouncy than Mangold though i think Mangold is a great player and guy and Ferguson is one of if not the most overrated left tackle in football..Sanchez got killed on the blind side. Geno is always hit and only Vick's mobility limited the chiefs to 3 sacks.easily could have been 6-7
Pitt by 13 for me
Not denying Jets have played a tougher schedule, just find it hard to believe Pitt's is the 31st, but got to admit, out of nine games, only 5 were against teams with winning records. I think every game the Jets have played came against a team with a winning record so I concede that....and Sunday, they play another team with a winning record, lol. It's all good.
~T~
I guess it hurts PITs ranking having games vs TB, JAX, HOU, NYJ, TEN, ATL,
Only CLE is lower because they got to host OAK.
But the whole AFC North is in bottom 10 because they play the Souths of AFC and NFC this year where only one team, IND, is over .500. And go figure PIT blows em out lol.
