^This.I'm sure most Steelers fans are well aware of the team's
tendency to play down to inferior competition.

1. That was a different point in the season, when the team wasnot as focused.

2. Against the Browns, the Steelers turned the ball over 8 times... and they still ahd a shot at winning. I do not see them having a day like that in the near future.

3. The Browns debacle was a wake-up call.

4. All three of those games were on the road.

5. Either the defense was faltering (Raidahs, Titans) or the offense was sputtering (Browns)... but, now, both sides of the ball are focused and peaking.

What Steeler fans may not be aware of is the Chargers tendency to fall apart on the 4th quarter because their defense is exhausted from being on the field too long due to the ineptitude of the San Diego offense in the 2nd half.

That... ans Philip Rivers likes throwing late-game INTs.

I'm worried about this game. The Steelers don't do so well in supposed to win games. Both teams have a knack for turning the ball over. If Pitt can manage to win the turnover battle they should win this game. I also pray that Ben can take a hit and come out ok.

Norv Turner: Reports of my demise won’t affect our preparations

Posted by Michael David Smith on December 7, 2012



Thursday’s report that the Chargers will fire head coach Norv Turner at the end of the season hasn’t affected his team’s preparation for Sunday’s game against the Steelers, Turner says.

Turner said that he was back at the office early this morning, about 12 hours after the report surfaced that his goose was cooked. And Turner said he was pleased to see that plenty of his players and coaches are putting in just as much time as he is.

“The one thing I always feel good about, I got here at 5:30 in the morning and there were guys in the weight room, there were guys in the training room, there were guys already in meeting rooms watching tape,” Turner told reporters today. “Our meeting started yesterday at 7, everyone was here. At 8, we had a team meeting, started our normal Thursday work, and our guys were here until 4:30 or 5 in the afternoon. Any of the reports haven’t affected them, and that’s what I care about. They’re getting ready to go and play their best and give themselves a chance to win in Pittsburgh.”

Turner also credited his assistants for working hard until the end.

“It’s an outstanding staff, and I think they’ve done an outstanding job for this football team,” Turner said.

That may be true. But next year, those coaches will be doing an outstanding job for some other football team. Turner may be continuing to prepare, and Chargers owner Dean Spanos may deny that he has already decided to fire Turner and General Manager A.J. Smith, but no one seriously believes there’s a chance that Turner will be back in San Diego beyond the final four games of the season.
