I don't know why you think this game is going to be such a blowout. Ben, Antonio and that passing game should be able to do very well against the Pats secondary and Brady has been distracted and bound to be a little rusty. Yes I think the Pats will win, but a close(r) game around a 7-10pt win.
The Pats defense, even as subpar as it will be this year, is going to be a lot better than our defense. Especially on opening night.
The guy who potentially makes our offense special is gone. We had Brown before Bell as well and our offense did not light the world on fire week to week even though Browns stats were amazing.
For us to win this game we need a dominant performance on defense, we need our backup RBs to block really well, and we need our 3rd and 4th receivers to make up for the absence of Bryant. We also need our coach to really have us prepared for the shortcoming of our team.
Be real bro. None of those things are going to happen, least of all Tomlin having us prepared. At best we get one of those things to go our way. Our shitbag coaches are going to call the game like we are at full strength because that is what we do. We dumb like that!
No one would be happier about the Steelers coming out on top, but I know that shit ain't happening!
