Week 2 against the Steelers (Early predictions)

Adam picked the Steelers so we might win. LOL


I just want to see the real Kubiak gameplan that wasn't unveiled in Game 1.

Good, we should be underdogs. And it's better being underdogs.

That POS Gordon picked the SB40 score

Our well-coached defense will shut down the Steelers' offense. Our motivated OL will pave the way for an offense explosion.

Seahawks bounce back with a 20-17 upset win.

This will be, IMHO, a great barometer game for the Seahawks. On paper, the personnel is much better for us than the Steelers. But Tomlin is a great coach at getting the most out of lesser talent. The crowd at PIT can get nuts but they also can get quiet on turn on the team. Really hoping the Seahawks strike early and often and take the crowd out of the game. I imagine we gave up nothing on tape last week and could see a few surprises in the first quarter. Go Seahawks!

I think this team is 3-4 weeks away from playing good football. I think they get beat really bad. ESP with DK on the other team. He will have a huge day. Rodgers throws 3 with an int. And our offense can’t run the ball. We lose 27 to 13.

If Seattle offense decides to show up, Seattle wins.

Seattle's offense has to show up. You are not beating the Steelers in a slobber knocker defensive game in Pitt. Pitts front seven is going to bring it every down and the Seahawks need to have an answer and counters. Their secondary is comprised of a veteran group at the starting level down to third string (J. Peppers). Joey Porter Jr is their youngest player in the secondary at age 25.

Only way you beat Pitt is to run the ball and use play action. Trying to beat Pitt in a passing game shootout against this defense is not good. That is why Seattle defense can not let Rodgers dictate the flow of the game with early scores.

Bottle up Metcalf and Smith/Freiermuth and the Steelers offense is neutralized. Warren and Gainwell are underrated but not gamebreakers as they are steady eddies. But the pass rush has to reach Rodgers because if given enough time Calvin Austin and Scotty Miller will beat their man over the top because they have too much speed.
