Menudo Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Whose going to win ? The oddsmakers aren't giving the Broncos any respect, as they are 3 point dogs at home with only one loss on their record. The Broncos defense and the fact that Orton makes good decisions and doesn't force things concerns me a bit. I'll take the Steelers in a close one.

yo mama Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I like the Steelers to win, and by more than 3. They are a more complete team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I won't be betting but if I was it'd be hard for me not to take the Broncos +3 b/c they are at home. Denver 20 Pitt 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I have to say that I'm leaning toward the Broncos as well and think they win 21-17. The Broncos' defense forces Ben into some mistakes and Marshall along with Buckhalter and Moreno make enough plays to win a close one.

montster Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 so annoying ... i need the broncos D to come up big, the offense gives up a pick-six and yet it still counts as points against the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Hoyle Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Pitt has Troy back and Mendenhall is running great against a D/ST who has limited the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millerx Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Mendenhall back in What happened to RB's that would rather get a few more yards than run out of bounds? Mendenhall had a nice long gain on a run, and ran out of bounds while the nearest defender was still 5-6 yards away! And it was a DB at that! Aw, the good ole days when the RB's could punish a DB if he was man enough to take him on... Edited November 10, 2009 by millerx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Why not kneel on it ? I know they got 1 TO left so what ? There would be like 20 seconds left....I hope Denver scores twice now and wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffraff Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 This Charger fan enjoyed the Steelers win. It just dropped the division lead for the Broncos down to 1 game and the Chargers get to play the Broncos again. Was 3 games back, now it's back into "controlling their own destiny" mode.

Bier Meister Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 good game plan: take away den's run and make orton beat you. it ain't gonna happen. he is not that type of qb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Nice win for the Steelers. It was a frustrating first half, as the offense couldn't get on the field, and they were lucky to go in with a lead. In the 2nd half, the offense looked great. Ben made a bad INT on one drive, but, they moved at will most of the 2nd half. Mendenhall is quickly developing into a great RB. I didn't like the run out of bounds either, especially in a situation where they were working the clock. The Steelers offensive line, though still not phenomenal, have improved so much since last year. On defense, they made the necessary adjustments in the locker room. Polamalu is unbelievable and means so much to this 'D'. Nice win and this sets up a hugh game next week.
