Half of those teams are pretty bad and the other half can blow us out to the point where they play prevent defense for 3 quarters. Also, ZT has shown he's the type of guy who will go for a FG when he's down by multiple TDs just to avoid a shut-out SO it doesn't take much faith to say 0 shutouts.
Zero. I could see us scoring 3-10 points in all of them, though.

You think we are scoring 3 points with Finley against the Steelers?

Yes. I think over the course of 60 minutes the Steelers get lazy or put in their backups and Bullock nails a totally meaningless field goal to make it 3-37 or something.
You can only get shut out if you turn the ball over every time and/or play for TDs the whole game. Finley will throw enough 1 yard passes that Higgins will get us into range and Bullock goes all HOF-kicker on a meaningless one. ZT will play 60 minutes of football with the goal of getting a single FG. It'll happen. Book it!

Exactly what I told a co-worker today except I added that we'd be blown out and shutout by The Ratbirds and Shittsville...
The only thing I hate worse than Pittsburgh football...

Not agreeing on the Steeler shutout... but a better QB can mean longer drives with the lead as they run an efficient offense at converting 3rd downs which also means less likely to have to punt deep from your own territory.
So less chances for your offense to be on the field and worse field position when it does takes the field normally leads to less points.
