How do the Steelers beat the Jets?
Pressure Sanchez.
Over the last couple weeks, we’ve seen the Jets begin to implode. The team that was once self-selected to win the Super Bowl is now faced with a number of issues, including a young QB who isn’t quite ready for prime time, or so it seems.
I feel bad for Sanchez to an extent. It’s year 2. He’s still growing into his role. I think its unfair to expect a kid to make it to top 10 in his first 1-3 years. For example, I heard the Ravens fans talk about Flacco after the loss to the Steelers last week (still basking, yes) and compare him to Ben’s Super Bowl wins. First, if you remember, Ben was not that great in his first Super Bowl. He really wasn’t. Luckily the Steelers have a great defense. I would go as far to say that Ben really didn’t come into his own until that second Super Bowl. Am I wrong?
So, to Jets fans, don’t give Sanchez too hard a time. He’s young, he’s growing into his role. If you have to blame someone, blame sexy Rexy for blowing smoke up your ***** about how they were going to win the SB this year. That was probably an unrealistic view based on the pre-season drama, specifically with Revis.
This weekend, I think the Steelers can win this game. The Steelers have to play tough and the defense needs to play like they have the last couple weeks. Oh, and if anyone sees an offensive touchdown out there, can you send to Heinz Field? We’ve been missing those *sarcasm*.
Steelers 28 – Jets 10.
What do you predict?

Astonishingly enough, Silverback didn’t register a tackle last week!!
Am I concerned? nah.
Steelers have only scored 2 TD’s on Offense in their last 30?? drives. Very concerning. NY Jets allow 18pts on average per game. Steelers allow 15.
NY Jets are 0-4 (this season & last season) when they score 14 pts or less.
Steelers are 4-2 when we score 20 or less.
I can appreciate that the Steelers lead the series vs the Jets quite convincingly but why does that 2004 Divisional Play-off keep reminding me that NO TEAM should be underestimated regardless of ‘history & statistics’.
No turnovers and the Steelers should be safe. But how safe is safe these days? Penalties hurt too. That Steelers 11-10 WIN over the Chargers in 2008 was full of penalties and the Steelers still needed to score last to win. This game will not be easy even if the Jests are playing awful.

The Jets cornerbacks are outstanding but remember guys Eric Smith is playing mildly impaired and Leonhard is out of the lineup. We all know that the Jets D will play very well. We all know that the Steelers D will play very well. The big question is the Steeelers offensive line, how will they hold up and the next big question is how will Mark Sanchez hold up? Both teams by the way have very good and very underrated receivers. My prediction, Steelers 23, Jets 16. (and I’m from New York)
