Don't Look Now, but...

The Tampa Bay Buc's are 2-0 also. Who would've thought that this game three of the season would be a battle of the unbeatens?

While I still predict the Steelers to win- it's funny that this game was the one "automatic" game that many fans predicted we would win in Ben's absence. Is it possible that it's the only game we lose while Ben's gone?

Yeah, if Vince Young shat down his leg against our D, wait til Josh Freeman sees us.

Killin it son!

However, I want to simply note that this could be a classic trap game. Hopefully the boys don't get overconfident and "expect" to win this one. These "crappy" teams that they played last year bit us in the a$$. I would put Tampa in the same boat as OAK, CLE, and KC, plus its on the road. Play like they did today on D, and get just a bit more help on O and it should equate in a win.

Last year we beat the Vikings and Packers while losing to Cleveland and Oakland. This is a game in their house so we will be travelling south two weeks in a row. As brittle as we've been at the QB and OL positions, I wouldn't think anything is automatic.

Next week will be tough but the Buccaneers have not seen a team that is as good as we are yet. It's going to be tough for them to move the ball I'm sure and Byron will definitely be looking to exact some revenge! I think we will go down to Fla and take care of business. This team seems to be on a mission to not just win but destroy the opposition!!!

True enough. ATL and TEN both had fairly high profile Offensive weapons that this Steelers D completely nullified. TB has been getting better, but doesn't seem to have the firepower that these other two do.

So, our D basically just has to keep Freeman and Co. from scoring at all. The O and ST's will just have to find ways to put some points up.
