Fade the Steelers? No Hotel and will be landing in NJ only hours before kickoff?

tto827 · 11-01-12, 06:10 PM

I haven't seen it, that's an interesting angle. That's not a very long flight though, so not too sure what effects it will have.

Louisvillekid1 · 11-01-12, 06:12 PM

Yeah, I was just thinking professionals are all about routine, and I'm sure this will be the first time that these guys have had to do this.

Giants are tough anyway, and line is moving off the key #3

lakerboy · 11-01-12, 06:16 PM

Of course line isn't moving. The action is pretty even. Shouldn't Giants be -4.5 here? The steelers are my top play this week. They need this game more. They will be ready to go.

Louisvillekid1 · 11-01-12, 06:25 PM

sorry I meant to say it is moving... 3.5 at most shops now...

it opened -3.5 most places LK.... i was on pit before heard this but fact that it the late afternoon gm makes it bother me less than a early start would...

lakerboy · 11-01-12, 06:34 PM

Why would anyone want to stay in nyc for long right now anyway?

there prob some teams this might bother me more but pit not the kind of squad to let some little shit like this screw them up... even with the whole gm day flight still be hard pressed to convince me gmen didnt deal with way more distractions all week.

ROFLcopter · 11-01-12, 06:45 PM

My brother goes to Pitt U. It's only a 1 hour flight from there to NYC. This isn't really a big deal.

Chi_archie · 11-01-12, 06:48 PM

it does mess with individual players pre away game routine

don't under value that

big ben for instance likes to go out to a bar on saturday night in the visiting city with his security and rape a girl or two in a bathroom.

he'll be off his game

look out flight attendants on that flight!

maybe he will find he plays better w/o the rape

Chi_archie · 11-01-12, 08:14 PM

what time does the flight leave? what time do they have to wake up in Pitt?

Frisco · 11-01-12, 08:18 PM

That is a weird thing to consider when capping this game. I still like the Steelers

I always try to take travel considerations into capping...

yeah especially the west coast teams flying to the east coast to play a 1pm game

Justin3587 · 11-01-12, 08:26 PM

I dunno. I think the Steelers still win the game outright. I think the new Offense is gonna be a pain in the ass for the Giants defense. Especially since the D line wont be getting to Roethlisberger often. I think it will wear them down considerably.

Didn't mean travel, i meant the weird circumstances that have arose for the Steelers.

Love the way Dwyer has been running and the amount of times they've been feeding him the ball.

fergie's balls · 11-01-12, 08:40 PM

Ben completes more avoid the sack then complete the 3rd and 7 then any qb in the nfl.

Most NFL teams stay in downtown NYC whether they play the giants or jets in jersey. Not sure what playing in the old east rutherford stadium or the new one has to do with where these guys stay. Very few stay in the hilton in jersey. Most stay at Adams Mark in NYC downtown.

"I don't think I have traveled and played a game on the same day since high school," Steelers linebacker James Harrison tweeted.

Giants

-3 -113

FTW!

jpitts36 · 11-04-12, 12:06 AM

its not like there flying cross country, pittsburgh to jersey cant be more than hour flight if that.

TPowell · 11-04-12, 12:18 AM

Is the game circled now? Loved nyg before sandy

chopperocker · 11-04-12, 12:22 AM

its a 90 minute flight and Giants couldnt get to team facility till thursday.

advantage - Steelers.

El Nino · 11-04-12, 12:22 AM

I can't see the Giants' secondary stopping Big Ben at all. Dink and dunk to Heath and Brown and HR shots all day to Wallace. The notorious Giants letdown game happens this weekend.

after a big natural disaster? Did you see the Knicks against the Heat? Inspired effort coming from Giants IMO

Cuse0323 · 11-04-12, 03:03 AM

Giants get exposed for the frauds they are by a real team regardless of a short flight on game day. Gives them a chance for a nice nap before Big Ben destroys the Giants shit secondary.
