Oh, don't get me wrong...I'm neither a Steeler fan nor support. And until they get the fullback back (another 4 weeks?) Bettis won't be great, and the o-line is weakened, and Thigpen is gone, and as usual they have a lot of questions on defense. I think what is hurting them more, though, is the offense coaching now that Chan is the man in Dallas. If they can figure out how to play closer to his game (run first, pass later) rather than the current game plan (pass first, pass second, pass third, and finally, what the hell, run it) they will do ok.
As for Seattle, they are a good team, but not great. Remember, they have beaten Philly, Wash, and AZ who are a combined 1-8, with the only win coming when Philly and AZ played each other...They have a tough stretch coming up and could easily drop to 3-3. |
