I just want these teams to beat the **** out of eachother lol. Honestly very similar teams
 
This is why I wouldn’t immediately prefer the Steelers. I want to play Stroud. Guy is an idiot.
Would you rather face a more capable QB, but still not a great offense (Steelers). A defense that can be had. Or, face an offense that struggles, but just needs two good throws to get 14 points. All the while having a defense that shuts people down? Texans.

I think you take the Steelers 10/10 times
 
I actually want Pittsburgh because I want Dugger and Peppers to mess up in coverage for a big play.

True.

And if the Patriots play the game they’re capable of playing they beat either one of those.
 
Both defenses are playing well. Steelers had 48 sacks and Texans had 47 this season, so our Oline is going to struggle against either team. They’re really gonna have to be ready for either ferocious pass rush.

I’m rooting for Pittsburgh because I feel it would be the easier path for the Pats. The Pats pass rush may be able to cause trouble for an immobile QB like Rodgers.

God damn it’s tough to root for the Steelers team, I hate them so much. But I really don’t want to face the Texans.

And until that interview I’d forgotten we would be playing Tomlinson.

Now I *really* want Pittsburgh!
 
Rodgers has been really bad since he left the Packers. Every time he drops back, he just doesn't want to throw the damn ball. 3,332 passing yards on the season is pathetic in today's game.
The problem with Rodgers throughout his career is that he's risk averse, hence his much cherished TD/INT ratio. Now that his reads are slower and his arm weaker, he's even more hesitant. He would rather throw it away than risk a pass, and while that's sometimes a good habit, there are times when you have to pull the trigger and risk an interception, but he's not that player and he never was.
 
Couple great pass pay designs out of the chute from caley
 
This is a lot like yesterdays Pats game where one team is clearly superior and racking up the yards moving the ball but turnovers have slowed them down.

I think eventually the Texans break this open and the Steelers offense much like the Chargers has nothing.
 
Omg now he's thrown a pick

3 turnovers
 
Imagine how pee’d off Houston’s defense must be watching Stroud mess up time and again

Nah. After that pass, I’m okay with either.
 
LMAO another Turnover! Interception by Stroud.

Sheesh it feels like who wants to LOSE this game more rather than who's gonna go Win it!
 
I am really shocked by the decline of Stroud. He looked very good as a rookie, but I feel like his play has declined every year in the league.
Stroud is a turnover machine.
 
I have no idea which one of these teams i want more, i change my mind which team is dumber on every drive.
