The BTSC Predict the Score Competition, Wk 11 @ KC Chiefs

Still in the process of calculating scores, bear with me
Steelers lost to the Cincinnatti Bengals for the second time this season, the last time this happened was 1998.
Yet I urge the masses of Steeler fans (real ones, not you fair weather fans, go support the Colts) to not panic. We still have a slate of winnable games coming up, first of which starts this week at Kansas City
Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium is an amazing sight, the sea of red, as well as being known as one of the loudest stadiums in the league

KC 23, Pitt 20 (OT)
The Bungles seem to have gotten into the Steelers heads, just as Brett Favre got into the Packers heads, and we have all seen those results. Without Polamolu, this Steelers team is not nearly as dominate. Dallas tried to give away a game to the Chiefs earlier this year in similar circumstances, this time there is no Miles Austin to save the day.

he’s got a sick catch % and he seems to run good routes. He’s making Romo look good.

Since his big game
250, 171, 61, 49, 20. It appears defenses are paying him a lot more attention and his production has dropped considerably. The guy has two big games against two terrible pass defenses (KC 24th and ATL 28th) and done not much since. I don’t buy it.

He’s not a number one receiver, but he can play the position. He’ll make it as a solid contributor, maybe even as a #2 receiver. He can’t take the top spot though.
by Phantaskippy on Nov 19, 2009 2:39 AM EST up reply actions
Exactly, and since Roy Williams does not play like a #1, he (Austin) is garnering #1 receiver respect. Unless they get a #1 he is not going to produce much. So I stand by that right now all of our receivers are better.

Into the Steelers heads??
Exactly how did you determine that? Have you been at practice this week? Did you talk to any of the players? They just played 3 days ago and their heads aren’t right? You gotta bring a little more to the table than that, my friend.
Also, The Steelers had Polamalu for 1 series, and held the Bengals to no offensive TD’s and 218 total yards. We certainly would rather have Troy in there, but showed we can compensate.

I was trying to give a possible reason to support my prediction, however unlikely
Unlike your -3 prediction below.
I assume that Succup is going to kick it through the wrong field goal? That would be funny, though!

Ah so 97 points is within the realm of possibility? haha
Actually I never take games for granted. My gut is that we’ll come out pretty ticked off and lay some points down, but my gut has been wrong….see last Sunday’s prediction…

The Bengals are quite a surprise this year. We'll see how long it lasts.
97 may be a little bet of a stretch. We do still have Vrabel and Hali, and some decent corners. But you can make a very legitimate argument for 37, it pains me to say. You’ve got a great point about being ticked off, if the Steelers get an early lead, it could get ugly. The Chiefs tend to get pretty far behind against good teams, and then score a bunch in the 4th Quarter, but not quite enough to get it done.
Or sometimes it’s just ugly throughout, see San Diego a couple of weeks ago.

Picking off target numbers is a good strategy
Actually that strategy works great. While you may not hit it dead on, you are much more likely to be CLOSE.
And for the 11:5 prediction, cheifs go up 5-0, steelers get a td +2, then FG, and voila. Not too complicated.

I predict another TD return, whether fumble, kickoff, punt, or INT. I know that’s not really going out on a limb or anything.

Steelers Win
I don’t care what the score is (even if it costs me something since I have to give 10+ pts to the KC guy in the other post….which I think is extremely unfair BTW)
When the tailgate drops, the BS stops. Shut up and play!

Thats right, BLOWOUT
This is Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu getting knocked around by the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii yesterday...
Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.

Brodie ain't playing
and what Brodie did vs Baltimore has no bearing here.
Unless, Pitt hurts Cassel, and we have to turn the Dawgs loose.
Brodie will throw three 50 yard TD passes if you all let him in the game.
Good reason not to hurt Cassel IMO :)
Hurt Cassel, Chiefs 34 Pittsburgh 32.
We Will kick at least 4 Teams Asses in 09
And Succop will be the Key in two of them. Washington & Oakland!

IKR
Why do people always predict their team will be the one to get the 100 yard rusher or break 28 points or something astronomical on us?
Be realistic por favor. You’re not special. Adrian Peterson and crew got 17. 7 of which was ST. Dont get too excited.
Steelers 35 Cheifs 10
I think they will be on the road to bounce back they know what they have in front of them now and can not take any game lightly. They have to bring their A game to all the remaining now. I think they can do it.
Chiefs 77 Steelers 2
Our O-Line is terrible and you seem to have a good defense, so I am willing to concede a safety.
Chiefs:
Cassel has 5 passing TD’s
Jamaal Charles has 4 rushing TD’s
Chiefs have 2 return TD’s. Jeff Reed could tackle the returner both times but choses to fall over crying instead.

OldManSteeler, ominously died two days before Superbowl 123 where the Ravens are set to attempt their 7th superbowl win, facing the Detroit Lions on Sunday. He was 86. His last words are believed to be "MALOR CAN SUCK IT!!!". Like friends and family, we can only guess what this could mean.
