I would be very happy if WIllie finds the enzone toight!

 

[barista]

I love the total-yards... what is he returning kicks? Cause he sure doesn't catch.

 

[menobrown]

I look for a big game from Holmes. He's been nursing an injury and the played on a bad field last week. With another week of rest and the fast turf I think the Steelers will look to get him involved and he'll come up big.

Not if Ben can't reach him with a bum shoulder

Parker?The guy has 1,481 total yards on the season (1,317 rushing & 164 receiving). Yes, the majority of his yards are rushing, but I think he'll have a catch or two tonight.

his shoulder is fine to play. the media has blown his shoulder soreness WAY out of control.

 

[red]

i would temper these statistics...

historically, visiting teams playing on a short week (i.e. thursday night games) do poorly. i think their overall record is something like 2 - 8 with one of those two wins going to indy @ atl. i also think the visiting teams do poorly in the 1st half (IIRC, averaging 10 points).

i see a slow start for the hurting steelers. the defense is banged up and their oline is bad. the turf should help but if FWP can't break through the def i doubt we'll see him post that much over 100 yards (he'll need a lot of carries. rams have the potential to score and if they go up quickly, tomlin will change his game plan and big ben will be the focus. i'm actually predicting an upset victory for the rams in a relatively low scoring game: 20-14.

ETA: anyone know the line and o/u?

 

[JohnnyU]

Holt - 4/32/0

Bah, quit putting the hex on me! Don't you want the first Championship to be in your division! Holt : 180 and 2TD!!

I dunno the O/U but I am actually predicting the opposite. The Steelers o-line is not very good but they've been that way all season and the Steelers have been able to put up points and I don't think the Rams "D" is all that good. The fast track should be a nice change for the Steelers considering the turf they have been playing on.On the other side of the ball the Steelers defense is banged up and have been giving up yards on the ground lately. SJax had a very nice game last week and I think is poised for another one. Bulger, when healthy, is pretty decent QB and he has few darn good Wrs as well in Holt and Bruce.While it is true the short week could affect the Steelers this is a must-win game for them and they know it. The Rams at 3-11 don't have much to play for but they are on prime-time so they're going to make a good showing.If it were me I would looking to bet Over rather than Under.

After Bill Polian all but said Manning wont play the entire game this Sunday (I'm guessing he'll play the first half and the first series or two of the 3rd quarter) I'm trotting out Bulger and am going to hope he doesn't get drilled too bad by the Pitt D. Benching Manning for Bulger is risky, but getting a half out of Manning (1..MAYBE 2 TD's and 140 yards??) could kill my season.

Oh, and the Rams are going to run all day on the Steelers tonight. SJax gets 150+ at least 1 TD...

Do you think Bulger can last a full game? I know they are healthy finally on offense, except the line. Getting another hit kind of scares me.

THAT'S my biggest fear with playing Bulger. But, at home......on national TV......slated to play the entire game........verse Manning at home with Polian saying he certainly doesn't expect Manning to play the whole game. Tough call..........but, I made my move.

 

[Keith Lewis]

I love the total-yards... what is he returning kicks? Cause he sure doesn't catch.

He's averaging 109.6 yards per game. He's up against the #19 rush defense and playing on turf. You realize he's leading the NFL in rushing right?

What everyone's thought on Ward tonight?

I feel a disapointing game is coming. maybe 4-5 rec for 50-60 no TD. Granted I have been very wrong with my predictions lately.

He may be leading the league in rushing, but he's not putting up great points in my league. I've benched him the last two weeks for J. Lewis and E. Graham and it got me to the SB. I'm doing it again this week, but I'm a bit nervous. I just can't sit the kind of points that Lewis and Graham are putting up.

 

[Cabby]

Im going to start Palmer over Big Ben this week? Is this the right move? I really don't know what to expect from Big Ben tonight. I also have Ward and Miller

 

[MCguidance]

Sjax will hit paydirt three times this week.

Ok so wishful thinking, but I say a big week for him for sure.

Some damned good predictions in this thread.

S. Jackson - 109 total yards, 1 td

Wow.

I am trying to decide what was worse, seeing FWP carted off, or seeing Davenpoop go for over 30 points.

FWP getting carted off and Davenpoop on your opponents roster...................

At least he was on the bench :dodged a bullet:

i would temper these statistics...

historically, visiting teams playing on a short week (i.e. thursday night games) do poorly. i think their overall record is something like 2 - 8 with one of those two wins going to indy @ atl. i also think the visiting teams do poorly in the 1st half (IIRC, averaging 10 points).

i see a slow start for the hurting steelers. the defense is banged up and their oline is bad. the turf should help but if FWP can't break through the def i doubt we'll see him post that much over 100 yards (he'll need a lot of carries. rams have the potential to score and if they go up quickly, tomlin will change his game plan and big ben will be the focus. i'm actually predicting an upset victory for the rams in a relatively low scoring game: 20-14.

ETA: anyone know the line and o/u?

I dunno the O/U but I am actually predicting the opposite. The Steelers o-line is not very good but they've been that way all season and the Steelers have been able to put up points and I don't think the Rams "D" is all that good. The fast track should be a nice change for the Steelers considering the turf they have been playing on.

On the other side of the ball the Steelers defense is banged up and have been giving up yards on the ground lately. SJax had a very nice game last week and I think is poised for another one. Bulger, when healthy, is pretty decent QB and he has few darn good Wrs as well in Holt and Bruce.

While it is true the short week could affect the Steelers this is a must-win game for them and they know it. The Rams at 3-11 don't have much to play for but they are on prime-time so they're going to make a good showing.

If it were me I would looking to bet Over rather than Under.

After Bill Polian all but said Manning wont play the entire game this Sunday (I'm guessing he'll play the first half and the first series or two of the 3rd quarter) I'm trotting out Bulger and am going to hope he doesn't get drilled too bad by the Pitt D. Benching Manning for Bulger is risky, but getting a half out of Manning (1..MAYBE 2 TD's and 140 yards??) could kill my season.

Any time you'd like a little advice shoot me a PM.........I take credit cards.
