This is going to be a huge game. Titans are 1 game ahead of the Steelers & the winner all but locks up HFA throughout the AFC playoffs. The Steelers are coming off a major 13-9 win over the Ravens in Baltimore & are riding a 5 game winning streak. The Titans fell to the Texans 13-12 snapping a 2 game winning streak setting up this epic match up. The Steelers defense is ranked #1 in Points allowed #1 in overall yards allowed (1st in passing yards 2nd in rushing yards). The Titans are ranked #2 in Points allowed 4th in overall yards allowed (5th in passing 9th in rushing). In the same rankings on offense the Steelers rank 21st, 24th, 17th, & 23rd while the Titans rank 10th, 19th, 25th, & 5th. Should be a great game. If the Steelers can beat the Ravens & Titans in back to back games at this point of the season it should bode very well for them heading into the playoffs.

I was wondering why I saw you on the Titans board SD2042. So who's your heart pulling for this game

Really tough to decide, but I have a sneaky feeling that the Steelers might win this game. The Titans will be missing KVB and Big Al from their defensive line. They ranked among the better D lineman for the Titans to really stop the opponent runs in the middle. W/o these two on the front line, the Steelers running game may work well against the Titans. Personally, I rather it be a tough game rather than be a runaway game.

Yeah I like good games like that Cowboy game as well. Of course my opinion of the winner is biased but I wouldn't doubt if these 2 see each other again in the playoffs

I might be at the game, but you guys will have the better view. It would be nice if we came out of there with the win. Even if we win, we don't clinch without a win against the Brownies, and the last time I checked they don't like us very well.

I wouldn't doubt the possibility. If it happens at least the key players for the Titans will be healed up at least. The we'll see how tough the matchup can really be.

Overall, best luck and may the best team win.

Yeah but the chances look very good if we win. I know the Brownies don't like us but the Titans have the red hot Colts, so if we TCB we are sitting pretty with our destiny in our own hands

True enough. I'll be glued to this 1 plus the Panthers & Giants, both games basically determine HFA throughout.

Come on guys, not off to a good start! get it going

Reed missed the kick. The wind took the kick and it was in line too.

Post #16 » by **SD2042** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 7:36 pm

That catch that Santonio Holmes got from Big Ben was a great catch. It put the Steelers on the board and Holmes waited until the last moment to put his hands out to make sure the Titans would anticipate the pass so they could stop the play.

Post #17 » by **SD2042** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 7:51 pm

Holmes picks up 20 after the Steelers get the ball back. Parker has ben held in check in this game as he got shut down again. Steelers with the hurry up offense.

Steelers with a tough TD to Hines Ward!

Steelers take the lead.

Steelers 14
Titans 10

Titans catch the Steelers off guard and Chris Johnson cashes in for Titans TD and the Titans take back the lead.

Titans 17
Steelers 14

Unsportsmanlike conduct on the Steelers and that gives the Titans a first down and goal at the 4yrd line. That penalty kicks the Steelers in the teeth as LenDale White run in the endzone on a short TD to increase the lead to 24-14 Titans in the early fourth quarter.

Post #20 » by **SD2042** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 8:31 pm

Willie Parker is getting killed in the run. Sixth time he's been sacked. The Steelers are takin too long to develop the run.
