But last years Monday Night game against Pittsburgh was a classic example of coaches winning a game.  The Steelers came into that game winless (0-3) with no running game (64 yds/gm) and QB Mason Rudolph making just his second career NFL start.  But Pittsburgh coaches used Jaylen Samuels in a wildcat formation and our defensive coaches were helpless to stop them.  Many of us saw that as a "winnable game" but they curb stomped us 27-3.

I agree that this year the Steelers are not really as good as their 8-0 record would suggest, but they are still a damn good team.  In the NFL any team can beat another "on any given Sunday", but I don't see us having much of a chance this week.

I believe we have a chance if, and it's a big IF. We can hold our mistakes to a minimum, we can't have 5 false starts, 4 holding, 3 personal fouls.

And we can somehow force a turnover or two ?
