I've been a die hard Steeler fan since my childhood.
It appears they may be in for a rough season this year. Big Ben looks extremely confused in the pocket, and continues to make errant throws. I can't tell you how many passes he sailed in the pre-season (His pre-season passer rating was around 30
). Worst case scenario, Big Ben is benched after we go 0-3 with little sign of life on the offense, then Charlie Batch is put in to try and salvage the season.
Duce and Bettis are both injured, so for all of you Fantasy Football owners, I would draft Willie Parker asap. He is a huge fantasy sleeper this year. He has great speed and elusiveness, very reminiscent of Barry Sanders (not nearly as good though)
Superbowl pick: Colts edge the Vikings in an exciting shootout. Probably not a plausible pick (I could start on either teams defense
)....but it would be fun to watch.
