Is Pittsburg going to beat the Redskins this week?  As a Giants fan I hope so.

I think we will, but Portis seems to be able to put 100 on everyone so who knows..Thatll probably be the deciding factor

Having Santonio Holmes back wont hurt either

Portis is probably the league MVP so far....not to mention Jason Campbell has not thrown a INT yet this year.  It will be a tough game.

Its spelled Pittsburgh BTW.

Giants took care of Dallas.....Glad to see Jerry Jones made sure they had some quality backup QB's along with his new stadium which he says is the greatest building besides the White House.

Brandon Jacobs is slowly turning into one of my favorite running backs

steelers 23, skins 17. at least it better be...i work with ravens and skins fans...i can't have the steelers lose now. i'll never hear the end of it.

If that monster got more carries, hed be perrenial Top 5 in rushing yards the next 5+ years alongside Adrian Peterson and Marion the Barberion

[ycartrob]

all right headdy, I want a top notch prediction for the game tonight; as many details as possible

He is the man and Derek Ward is not to far behind...that guy does something good everytime he's in the game.

2 keys to the game:
1) Hold Portis below 4 YPC and 100 yards rushing
2) PIT OLine. Keep it 3 sacks or less on Roeth and limit how many times he is hit and pressured.

I think were going to make Campbell beat us, and with that in mind, I dont see Portis getting 100 yards rushing. Hes averaged over 5 YPC in each of the last 5 games, while also going over 120yds rushing in each game. The score and how successfully WAS can move down the field will dictate how many carries he gets, but I would consider 85 rush yards a good game for him

Campbell has only played 2 good pass rushing teams this year - NYG and PHI. For those games, he averaged 55.4% completions, 154.5 pass yards, and .5 TDs. Not very good. I dont think Campbell can beat us judging by those stats, but if he does, it will be due to a dink and dunk passing game that is likely combined with Portis having more success than I predicted him having above. I think he he throws his 1st INT this week, most likely to Polamalu, Farrior, or Woodley

Apparently Chris Kemoeatu, our LG, injured himself in pregame warmups and is a no-go, which obviously hurts even more, but WAS strength on D is not their pass rush, its the ability of their LB corps to contain offenses. Their sack leader is Andre Carter with 2.0 sacks, and a pedestrian 16 sacks on the season for WAS. That said, are OLine can make anyone's pass rush look good, so this matchup will be huge. If Roethlisberger consistently has time, there is no way their secondary (and WAS D has 0 INTs) will be able to stop our passing game

I think PIT can still win the game if Portis has success, but they have no chance if they cant keep Roeth upright.

It will also be interesting to see how Fast Willie looks in his 1st action in over a month

PIT 27
WAS 17

Were making Portis look mediocre right now

Were all over Campbell like a pedophile on an 8 year old

But out OLine still sucks. Why they dont roll out Roethlisberger, call more quick passes, and call more plays in the shotgun with 2 RBs in the backfield is beyond me.

[capt. scotty]

Ouch...possibly no Roeth for the 2nd half

And now we have Leadfeet Leftwich in there...Eek! the cat

[capt. scotty]

Leftwich to the rescue!!!!

That helmet to helmet call on Farrior, on a 4th & long where they didnt convert was ridiculous....TOTALLY ridiculous

Just because my P touches her V, doesnt mean were doing it

Good enough for you Tracy??  ;D

We made Campbell try to beat us, and he obviously couldnt.

55.8% completions, 206 yds, 2 INT, 49.2 passer rating, like I said, he wont put up stats good enough to win this game. Also like I said, Campbell would throw his 1st INT tonight  :). 2 for good measure. Dink and Dunk passing the entire game

Portis only got 51 yards rushing, his worst rushing game of the year . I said 85 would be good for him, but judging by his YPC and receiving yards, he was WAS lone decent player tonight. That said, WAS could not move the ball down the field for shit outside of that goalline stand. Their only points were from 3&outs on an onside kick and an INT from a tipped pass.

We made their pass rush look great. 16 sacks on the season, they get 5 today.

Im now taking phone calls, 4.99/min on my picks vs. the spread this week.

Sorry, I gotta run bc GZA, Method Man, and the RZA just got here and told me "Pittsburgh Stillers Aint Nuthin' to Fuck With!!"

[ManNamedTruth]

Go Steelers! So nice to have more steeler fans on the board, headdy! We have a Super Bowl defense, we NEED to sure up that O-Line. If the 2000 Ravens can win a Super Bowl then we can too.

[brkndwnbus]

Nice win by them Steelers last night. 6-2 feels nice. Big game with Indy coming up now. I think the Steelers will take to it Manning pretty good this coming Sunday.

Well played sir, well played.

Nice W for the Steelers....looked like a big offensive struggle at first.  Glad for the Skins loss...Giants up 2 games now in the NFC east.

[bold99]

Brandon Jacobs is slowly turning into one of my favorite running backs

Crazy that Jacobs is s top 5 back right now and he has 70 carries less than Portis.
