Wonder How Turnovers Will Play Out?

Minny's one of the best teams at taking the ball away and giving it up. (10 and 10)

The Steelers are the worst taking it away and one of the best at giving it away. (0 and 9)

Hope our offense can play a clean game somehow and our D can take advantage of Minny's misfortunes.

Have faith brother. Odds are stacked that we will break the seal on TOs this week...hopefully they will come in droves

I realize that our defense needs to do a better jog at creating turnovers, but I'm amazed how the ball just does not bounce our way when it's on the ground.

Predict we get our first turnover against the Vikings, either this game or the next time we play them
Serious balance in our favor with the law of averages, though. And Cassell may be rusty and out of sync with his WR's.

After watching his interview in London, I am hoping Ike will get a pick and take it to the loo in a jiffy.

Cassel hasn't played in what seems like a year...He was a turn-over machine the last time I remember him starting in KC. If LeBeau and his defense can't get a single turnover in THIS game from THIS qb, you might as well sign LeBeau's pink slip. If this Steelers defense can't stop Cassel, it will be inexcusable in every way possible!!

They'll stop him, the offense will be bad, yet again, and the Steelers will be losing, Ben will make a frantic comeback and need the ball one more time to complete the comeback, the defense will get Cassell in a 3rd and 23 and they'll concede 24 yards, game over.

Nice observation Jiga. We force a fumble and they get a first down out of it.

Heard the team went to a bakery, and the attendant told them, "You can have anything else on the menu, but you're the Steelers, you can't buy a turnover."

You could put this on the fact that the Steelers dont appear to be gang tackling. Used to be, there were at least 3 or 4 Steelers around the ball. Most times now it seems guys are happy just to get a hand on and make the tackle.
