I agree, this Pitt team want to turn it around on the road where they are horrible this season. They know they are not getting homefield in the playoffs, but this team is not mentally tough as they were a couple of yrs ago, the players are getting older and there's no sense of urgency. Zona on the other hand have something to prove and I think they could get it done here coming off a bye. If Kolb can't play with any type of consistancy in this game, than it's going to be a long season for the Cards.

Pittsburgh is going to run all over Arizona. Kolb is going to be very Kolbesque.

That was a joke. I'm not on either side.

This is the NFL, not college. You are going to have alot more parity. You forget the fact these 2 teams know each other very well from a coaching standpoint. I think it's going to be a close game....foolish? I think not. Both sides have valid point - but given the fact the OL can't protect Big Ben, their secondary gives up big plays, they can't run as well on the road and Cards getting sometime to prepare? I say Cards have a great shot at winning this game.

Some believe the Steelers should be better than 4-2 at this point. It's somewhat surprising they aren't more like 2-4.
Nothing determines a team's record better than the turnover differential and this season the Steelers have lost 13 and gained only two for a minus-11 after just six games. The fact it was 0-7 after the first game may have skewed it a bit because after that they've only been a minus-four.
The Steelers have the top-ranked defense and the No. 10 offense, which is a good combination. That they are minus-11 in turnovers has dragged them down, but not as far down as they could be based on that stat.
Their defense, with just two turnovers (one fumble, one interception), has the fewest in the league. That can only get better, right? Turnovers cost them just one loss, to Baltimore. In their other loss at Houston, each team had one turnover.
So while the Steelers have been dreadful in turnover differential, they have been lucky because it has not cost them much . . . yet.
