Texans vs. Steelers (Wk. 1)

vs.

Sunday September 7, 2007
1:00 PM EST @ Heinz Field

The NFL season has finally returned!!! Coach Tomlin enters his second season, how will he perform? Big Ben returns from a stellar season last year where he set many Steeler records, can he top last years numbers? Santonio Holmes is now entering that crucial period for wide recievers... the third year! This is the time when you can start to tell how a receiver is going to be in the NFL. In training camp, he looked pretty good catching only 3 balls but 2 of them were for touch downs, not a bad average!

The big question this season is going to be the offensive line after giving up almost 100 sacks the last two seasons combined! Those aren't impressive numbers especially when the Steelers have a franchise QB in Big Ben standing back there taking thos hits.

It's hard to gage the first game of the season but the Steelers keys to a W are:

• Focus on their current opponent
• No Turnovers
• Offensive line needs to keep Ben off his back.

Join us this Sunday... here in the gameday thread as we talk about the game and cheer our Steelers to a victory!!!!

If you were close you could watch the game at my house...I wouldn't care....I have Sunday Ticket...Just remember Stiller Nation....If you're passing through Michigan City, IN on Steeler game day and you need a spot to watch the game....My house is always open.....

Steelers football is back and I can't wait for game day....

Should be a good game. Better hope the Texans improving defense doesn't get to Ben with that weak offensive line of the Steelers

Ben was sacked 47 times last year....The Steelers won 10 games and Ben threw a franchise record 32 TD passes......So Ben has proven he still can play well and lead the team to victory despite the constant pass rush he faces....

Your Browns better be prepared to face the Cowboys.....The Cowboys easily could blow out the Browns.....TO and Witten against your terrible secondary.....

[DawgBone]

Well I don't see it as that terrible. Brandon McDonald shut down one of the best WR's in the game in Andre Johnson last season. That was when we had no pass rush at all. With our safeties healthy, Jones, and Pool. We will be fine... if our defensive line and LB's pass rush well. Also, if Ben got sacked 47 times last season how many do you think it will be this season with Faneca gone? Ben's not super-man, sorry to screw up your wet dream their.

We will see come week 2. Until then, GO BROWNS!!!

[Steelers7fan]

Browns fans are always worried about the Steelers and we know why.

Yeah, they really dominated us. Be afraid DawgBone. Be very afraid.

Awwww, that is sweet. Thank you for the offer, though. Don't worry, I am consoling myself by thinking that I will get to see three of the first five games and probably plenty more throughout the season. I will be fine.
