Steelers @ Cardinals prediction thread 10/23/2011

[blindseyed]

Steelers: = 174
Cards: = -32

 

[kerouac9]

The Cards have no answer for Mike Wallace on defense or Woodley on offense. Arizona makes Larry Timmons look like a legit OLB for one game.

PIT 27
ARI 20

Late TD to Larry for breast cancer makes it look close. We'll all be wondering what the "new looks" they've been whispering about in the media all week actually were.

My guess? More passes on first down.

 

[Proteus]

Cards 17, Steelers 21.

Cards come out with a lot more intensity but it's not enough.

Steelers 10

Cardinals 14

Steelers don't have the heart to beat their retired buddies.

Awesome. The Edward Jones 401k Shootout.

By the way is it true that many of the Cardinal players now live in Sun City?

 

[Mulli]

Cards have no shot. 27-6 Steelers.

Steelers 24
Cardinals 10

Simmons noted that the Cards are feisty at home, but he was talking more about the spread. I just see the Cards being outclassed in this one. And I'm worried about the blow getting pushed around in front of 15,000 Steelers fans may bring. They're the new Cowboys for us.

Yeppers........ I'll be there with my son, and will try like hell to keep him distracted from the tragedy that will be played out on the field. This smells like a totaly meltdown game to me. Something like a 38 - 3 debacle where Kolb gets literally killed: 5 sacks and 3 INT's and a ton of hits, to the point where we see Bartel in the 3rd quarter.
Beanie runs for a grand total of 33 yards w/ a fumble for good measure, while Mendenhall goes for 156 yards on the ground.

Nope, this is the exact type of game we win.

For no earthly reason, we will win this game, a lot of people thought this about the Giants game and incorrectly picked that as our out of the blue victory.

Knowing Cardinal history like I do I could of told you that would be impossible since we have our worst games ever against the Giants.

The Steelers on paper should kill us, just destroy us, that's why we'll win the game.

Mark it down, we'll win this game.

THEN, we'll go back to imploding.

The bye week will act as a mini training camp, they'll have time to formulate a plan, and time enough to practice it and then the Steelers will be assuming we'll still be the same bumbling Cardinals but we'll have changed our bumble so they will be bumble confused and we'll bumble towards a win.

Rumblin, bumblin, stumblin.

I hope you're right C-Rad... however, I've got a very bad feeling about this game. The Steelers are not nearly as bad as they have appeared to be 4 & 2 record not-withstanding... They actually have a -10 turnover number and are still 4 & 2!! That's like next to impossible and only a borderline great team can somehow do that! I think this is the game where the Steelers come out of their funk in a big way...

Mike Wallace torches the secondary for 180 yards and 2 TDs. Wilson's poor play and Rhodes' absence mean that our CBs get NO help over the top. On top of that, Heath Miller goes for 90 and a TD also because of the lack of safety help coupled with poor LB coverage....

I hope not. My stupid you know what just had to trade Wallace for freaking Kolb because I had no QB.

 

[Phrazbit]

You may have been better off leaving the position empty...

AJ Feeley may have been worth the gamble (if available).

I did last week. Orton got me -1 the week before. lol

Not available. Some 3rd string QB's aren't available. I hate this league.

Half of my league quit so I have Vick, Eli and Freeman on my team.Have to start Freeman this week due to bye.

Tebow and Carson Palmer will have better fantasy days than Kolb even in a win.

You traded a #1 WR for a #3 QB? You're either in a really deep league or wok for the Arizona Cardinals.

super, SUPER deep league. It's the biggest I have ever been a part of and will never again.

Wow. I've been in a 16-team league before, and it was tons of fun. I drafted Aaron Rodgers fairly late and went like 15-1 on the road to a league championship. That's about the limit that you should have.

Still, you got gouged. That's a steep price for a bye week player.

K9, <------- "that guy".

 

[john h]

man... the Steelers aren't that good this year, but we're that bad. Maybe the week off will help get things right and Kolb gets on a super streak, but I don't think so... although part of me tells me we've got a shot. yup, still someone complete irrational hope inside of me for some reason.

Steelers 21
Cardinals 17

Big Ben is not 100% and was limping the last game. Cards 17 Pittsburgh 39
An add on: Kolb throws 3 interception and fumbles once on a hit by Troy as he is sprinting out to the right.

Eh. I'll take it. I still have 2 other #1's and now I at least have a starting QB again.

Who are your other receivers?

 

[Pariah]

This is quite a list of players that aren't playing on Sunday for the Steelers. Three of their starting front seven aren't going to be suited up.

Steelers starters NT Casey Hampton (shoulder), LB James Harrison (eye), G Doug Legursky (toe) and DE Aaron Smith (foot) are all out, while DT Chris Hoke (neck) is doubtful.

As a result, I think Beanie has a big day. I also think Horton will be able to tell Kolb where the holes in the D are.

Cards: 27
Steelers: 20

The Steelers have only won 1 road game against the Colts. And the Cards have done some serious work on the Bye.
