NFL Week 10

I think this worked out well - the Bears, coming off of their embarassing defeat at the hands of the Fish will come back in full stride and lay the smack down against the Giants, shutting Tiki down early and establishing a strong passing game that emphasizes short to medium length passes while minimizing the "bombs" that Rexie likes to throw.

...that was a long sentence.

GMen 23
Bears 13

Grossman gets sacked at least 5 times. Berrian is out again, leaving the whole receiving game on Muhsin Muhammed. Antonio Pierce neutralizes Thomas Jones.

Brandon Jacobs runs one in, while Eli connects with Plaxico for another.

Tiki has over 120 yards on the ground.

I'll give you a defensive touchdown, either a pick return or a fumble recovery.

I'm gonna get flamed when I'm totally wrong. I'm ok with that though.:D

Dallas will win, and look good doing it, which will get me all excited. Then they'll promptly lose the next week, (to the Colts), to go back to .500.

What the hell is wrong with this team? (At this point, I'm willing to hint that it could be the coaching!)

They've been "TO'd", which is akin to being KO'd for any team.

Second worst offseason move: Cowboys picking up TO. (First: Texans passing on Reggie Bush :D )

If football were really about winning, NO TEAM would have TO playing in their uniform, he's a cancer.

Parcells has proven his ability time and again. I think this situation is a direct result of non-coaching staff influence to the detriment of the team. Specifically: Jones not knowing when he has over-stepped the limits of useful input and adding Owens.

The man is flat out not concerned about team results, so long as he gets his. Good luck with that.

Alright, I'm about recovered from last week's game and ready to talk football again. If the Steelers don't turn the ball over like they've been doing, I'm confident that they'll beat the Saints. Unfortunately, that seems like a big "if" at this point....

...stick a fork in 'em.

;)

Saints passing offense will light 'em up, if they start to drop back in coverage, Duce will be on the loose.

Here's something to consider...what offensive line has allowed the fewest sacks this season?

New Orleans Saints, with 8 allowed sacks for 52 yards lost. They are the ONLY team with a single digit number of allowed sacks.

Why are they winning? Good offensive line play.

All respect to the Saints aside, Gard, I'm not really worried about their offense in isolation. The Steelers have really only looked bad on the defensive end when they get put in terrible spots due to turnovers, which as any football fan will note, has been happening A LOT this year. When the offense isn't turning the ball over like crazy, they've played pretty well.

So, yeah, if the Steelers stay in their funk and keep fumbling and tossing up picks, they'll get rolled. But if they take care of the ball, I think you're in for a surprise. ;)

Yea, I'm one of those that believe the 'Aints are for real this year....

Fair enough. The Saints are the "cool" team to go with this year. People everywhere are lining up on the Saints bandwagon.

If the Saints walk out of Heinz with a win, the only smack talk I'll pay any attention to will be from Gard. He has clearly identified himself as a Saints fan from the day I joined this place.

The Saints deserve to be a winning team, they have a good squad this year. I'm just hoping the Saints winning ways take this weekend off. :D

Trust me, bro - I don't think the Steeler nation will be utterly shocked if they drop this game. We're 2-6 and have lost to the Raiders, for crying out loud.

The Saints are having a good season, but I think the Steelers can beat them if they can just minimize the stupid mistakes/turnovers. That's all.
