    Steelers/titans

    30-11~(73%)~(+38.1 units)
    Titans+6?(2 units)I will wait and see if it
    rises....Well, I looked into these teams and My assessment is the
    Titans could be a better team then their record, But Playing New
    England,Houston,@ San Diego and Detroit,@ Minnesota(which will be a
    playoff team this year) will land alot of teams at 1-4 with the injuries
    the Titans had this season,However they are getting back a Key Leader
    on defense tonight....Linebacker Colin McCarthy,McCarthy is important
    because he brings leadership and energy with that attitude to the
    defense which has been sorely missed....On offense,wide receiver Kenny
    Britt is getting healthy and stated this week him and Hasselbeck have
    found their Rhythm in Practice this week..This team has to have a good
    showing tonight and get everyone off their backs so I expect they will
    give 110% effort tonight...They have Buffalo next week and Colts after
    that so this game can kick off a nice little streak with a win..(The
    Steeler's have the Division Rival Bengals on deck)And Just won a
    emotional last second game 4 days ago, So I don't see them coming out to
    start this game with a huge amount of energy on the Titans who are
    under achieving and are perceived to be little of a threat... The
    Steelers have some issues...
    They have a new Offensive Coordinator in
    Todd Haley is is a bit weird, The Steelers are the ONLY team in the NFL
    that has yet to produce a play of 40 yards or more
    this season, Their longest gain was a 37-yard
    touchdown pass from Roethisberger to wide receiver Mike Wallace in Week 2
    against the Jets. Their longest run was 17 yards, by Rashard
    Mendenhall, who returned Sunday.
    The Steelers are 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a
    losing home record. Steelers are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a losing
    record. Steelers are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games following a S.U.
    win.Steelers tend to play down to Competition...May be Flat after the
    big Philly Win...All in All, I think the Steelers "Think" They are
    better then they are and overlook pissy teams...They lost two to 2 teams
    that are not going anywhere this season...And struggled with the Jets
    at home till the 2nd half..
    Hands down, Pittsburgh has the better coaches...
    Chris
    Palmer is the Titans Offensive coordinator
    , He is yet again a guy in
    the NFL that continuously gets hire by his buddies when looking for a
    job....He was Head Coach for Cleveland Browns in '99-2000 season and a
    5-27 record in two seasons...The NFL is a good ol buddy hiring practice
    I have noticed, He has no Business being a OC, When he got fired in
    Cleveland Another buddy hired him as OC of the Houston Texans,2002-2005
    RIP Chris Palmer,He was Fired in week two of the 2005 season as a result
    of Houston's lackluster offense....He fooled around as a qb Coach for
    the Cowboys and Giants(Buddies hiring him)Then he fooled around as GM
    andhead coach In the The United Football League,That didnt last a
    year and The Titans Hired him as OC last year,during the 2011 season
    the Titans was 21st of 32 in the NFL in Points scored....These
    assistants and Coordinator get bounced around and recycled from teams to
    teams because the coaching in the NFL takes care of their own,Whether
    they suck or not.
    Titans Defensive Coordinator is Jerry Gray who
    recently went under the microscope of the League for his comments in
    which he said his players need to perform with a reckless abandon
    and not fret about consequences, according to a league source."If
    you are worrying about that, you are not going to go out and try and
    blow the guy up," Gray told The Tennessean on Thursday. "Great football
    players have to put that out of their mind. You have to say, 'This is my
    territory between the numbers, and if you throw the football you better
    bring the Gator truck.' And that's how you have to play. You can't play
    timid in the NFL."The Gator is a vehicle teams use to take
    injured players off the field....He has worked with Gregg Williams for
    many years... The Titans, who rank 31st in yards allowed and 32nd in
    points allowed and which has allowed 41 first-quarter points, also has
    just six sacks and one interception in four games Suck on Defense so
    Gray has resorted to Gregg Williams tactics, The League is definitely
    watching them so dont expect the players to jeopardize their paychecks
    for this clown...He is in reality a Defensive Backs Coach and is in over
    his head as a DC...Bad Hire here too.
    Pittsburgh has a Great Defensive Coordinator in Dick LeBeau, I don't think I have to get into this man, he is Rock Solid....
    The Steelers do have a New Offensive Coordinator this year and it is again a NFL retread..Todd Haley,Not
    too Bad of a Hire in My Opinion but it won't last....He is the son of
    Dick Haley who was Director of Player Personnel for the Steelers
    1971-1990...As
    a youth, Haley was a ball boy for the Steelers and attended Steelers
    training camp....so it was a buddy hire but not a bad one for a

    change,He was the Cardinals Offensive coordinator in 2007, The
    Cardinals finished in the top half of the NFL in multiple offensive
    categories that year,In 2008 The Cardinals offense was one of the
    league’s most innovative and explosive units,Arizona tied for third in
    the league in scoring, registering a franchise-record 427 points (26.7
    ppg).They went to the Super Bowl that year and
    scored more than 30 points in each of its three playoff games...The
    Chief hired him the Next year as Head Coach and that didnt work out to
    well...Haley is a Dickhead however, I don't Know how him and Ben will
    get along in the relationship as Haley has been described as an aggressive coach and can be combative with players...During
    the 2009 NFC Championship Game against the Eagles, he had a first-half

    argument with quarterbackKurt Warner and after that game a short blowup
    in full view of television cameras with wide receiver Anquan
    Bolden..Defending his style, Haley said "It's part of how I coach...
    It's part
    of how I motivate, and I like to think I've had some success doing it...In
    2006, Haley filed a 1.5 million-dollar lawsuit against
    McDonalds...after his wife found a dead rat in her salad!The case was
    settled out of court for a confidential amount...I don't think Haley
    will be here long term....
    Pittsburgh had no practice on Monday , Tenn has practiced all week..."The underdog Tortoise and the over confident Hare race? maybe...
    The
    Steelers with the Bengals on deck @ Cincinnati have lost the Last 6 out
    of 7 games Straight Up
    ...The One they won in that span they came
    directly out of their bye week...
    1. Flat Steelers...what do they care about a 1-4 Titans team.
    2.Titans are getting healthy with key players.
    3 Short Week...Steelers was in a VERY Physical game 4 days ago.
    4 Revenge,Hasselbeck has already talked about that Controversial SB loss,Probably was his only shot...yep he wants this one REALLY bad.
