I think that weak Texans O gets shut down.

Steelers- 24
Texans -6

Re: Steelers vs. Texans Prediction thread

We win by at least two td's.
We also sack Shaub four times.

Re: Steelers vs. Texans Prediction thread

i think it will be a close game, i think 24-14 steelers. i think the texans are another couple of years away from being a really good team

Re: Steelers vs. Texans Prediction thread

This game will be much closer than we may want to believe. The Texans have an awesome DL and they will put pressure on Ben and sack him several times. Fortunately they have no running game so our D should be able to unload on Schaub.

Steelers 17
Texans 10

Re: Steelers vs. Texans Prediction thread

It would be wrong to underestimate the Texans. If they didn't play in such a difficult they would be a playoff contender.

Re: Steelers vs. Texans Prediction thread

With our horrible OL and their stout DL...Ben is going to be running for his life all day long.

However, b/c of the ineptitude of Colbert and our staff to get any capable OL, Ben is completely used to this way of life so that probably wont bother him much--except to say it will take a toll on his body.

They have 0 running game=we could/should be able to tee off on Shaubby.

Steelers 23
Texans 13

And pray for no injuries.

I figure the team will control the clock and with the Texans not having a running game the Steelers should be able to get after Schaub with Woodley and the rest of the LB's.

Re: Steelers vs. Texans Prediction thread

The Texans have a beastly d-line (Mario Williams, Travis Johnson, and Amobi Okoye were all 1st rounders, and Anthony Weaver was always solid when we played against him on the Ravens) and what figures to be a solid passing game (both Schaub and Johnson are healthy). The game will be close since they are a more talented team than many realize (I see them challenging for a wild card spot this year if Schaub and Johnson stay healthy), but I think their lack of a top RB (Ahman Green? Steve Slaton? Chris Taylor?) and injuries in their secondary (Dunta Robinson on PUP) will be their ultimate downfall in what should be a close game.

Steelers 21
Texans 17

Steelers- 27
Texans- 9

Offense could struggle a bit but our bend but don't break should hold them to FG's.

Re: Steelers vs. Texans Prediction thread

All the Texans have is a DL. They better hope that DL puts up 24 points for them.

Re: Steelers vs. Texans Prediction thread

I predict that tommiesteel predicts that we lose.

No doubt Ben wins it for us.

I wouldn't say that's all they have. DeMeco Ryans is a beast and Andre Johnson is always dangerous when healthy. Here's my prediction:

Steelers - 24
Texans - 17

If it's that close...the Steeler better just hang it up....because the Texans are the worst team we play besides the Bengals and Ravens.

Should I be worried that a Bengals fan actually gave the Steelers one more FG than I did with my 21-17 prediction?

By the way, I think Cincy wins on the road in Flacco's first NFL start. The Bengals may not have one of the better defenses in the league (to put it mildly), but it is still better than the defenses he faced as a Delaware Blue Hen at this time last year.
