Today's game against Pitt is arguably one of the most telling games of the season in my mind regarding this team's progress.
We gave a game away in New York a week ago in many regards, and now it's important to see how this team bounces back on the road against a tough team to play against.
I'm worried about the speed and receiving core the Steelers have on offense, and if they are smart they will chuck it around all day against our secondary. Heath Miller in the redzone could also cause fits.
Offensively, we need to put Robert in a good spot by not backing ourselves up on first down and establish the run to keep the Steelers' blitz in check. Personally, I'm always worried about how our o-line will hold up against physical teams, and aging or not, you can count the Steelers as one of those physical and aggressive teams.
If this team is still hung over from a week ago, I can see Pitt getting up on us early by a few scores and us not being able to recover in time. What we can't have happen is a repeat of St. Louis, where we dropped a game that should have been one, and then come out flat the following week (ala Cincy).
