How is Mark Schlereth gonna say we lose week 1?

[ATLfanintheROC]

I mean really, this guy must have rocks in his head to think that, added by the constant3 H8 espn has 4 us.

[markdzul]

he got hit to much playing for the broncos to make that statement. you know they can't have the steelers go 1 and 3 in their first four games. Steeler nation would have a conniption fit..... gotta pander to the masses i guess..

everyone is entitled to their opinion...but if hes right,we are in trouble...BIG TROUBLE

Everyone has their guess on the outcome.

But - the game is played on the field. We'll know the final outcome when the clock strikes zero - and not before.

[sporkdevil]

I'd take it with a grain of salt, considering it's Mark Schlereth. Let me know when someone respectable has an opinion.

[Supes™]

I dunno, but if we DO lose, these boards will crash and be down for a week, minimum.

[slamee101]

I think a lot of us are looking at their QB situation and thinking they'll be easier to take. This is still a tough D in a tough stadium to play. It's also the first week so who knows how anyone is REALLY gonna look. It's not a huge stretch that they'd win.

I disagree with him though.

[LADBABY]

He read in the paper that we got beat by the Jaguars

last night. He didn't tune in to see all our starters

in street clothes.

So, you are of the belief that there is absolutely no way that the Pittsburgh Steelers can win a game at home by running the football and playing defense?

It doesn't sound all that far-fetched to me, but whatever. I guess I just have rocks in my head.

He works for ESPN, People there are always out to get us.

[apl2g]

people seem to forget that the steelers are a good team. I think we are better but they still have a dominant defense and good running game!

[Duff_Man]

I think we may come out of the first 4 weeks at 2-2 but then hit a nice stride the rest of the way. If we lose to the Steelers, we murder the Cards at home. If we lose to the Saints, we come back home and destroy the 49ers again.

Don't worry, you'll soon be saying that this weeks geniuses have rocks in their heads when they pick against the Falcons later on. Just remember that when they make those picks it will be because of h8, and when Schlereth comes around and picks the Falcons it will be because he will be stricken by genius and love for the Falcons.

Yep. We should win this game, even with that defense. We should be able to stop them on offense and score enough points to win. If we can't, it's going to be a long season.

[BruceReville]

Isn't this the guy who finished dead last in the ESPN Expert Picks last year

[DD: Objective Elite]

The Steelers went 8-8 last year, I know they didn't have Mr. Million Dollar hair-do, but they had problems running and stoping the run last year. I don't see how they're gonna be an elite team, considering their #1 QB is out for the first month.

Falcons have owned these guys in the past and continue that trend with a win on the road in week 1.

true, in the minds of some it will be the end of the season

[TeamPlayer1]

I love my Falcons but this Steelers game is going to be tough! We will win but we have to play hard!!!
