well i knew about most of that didn't know about the leaders play the leaders though

They also play in Atlanta!

[STEELERSTAR]

Here's my projections. We're the Super Bowl XL Champions. Let's go Black and Gold Nation and Pride! First, my top priority is Big Ben Roethlisberger, one of my favorite player and hero. He has to be healthy in full season, he can go undefeated like he did in his rookie year. Go Big Ben!!! 3,000 yards, 30 TDs, 10 INTs and Offensive MVP candidate. Fast Willie Parker will have a breakout year. He'll get around 1,500 yards. Hines Ward and Cedrick Wilson will have a huge season, both will catch at least 125 balls, 2,200 yards, 20 TDs. Miller is an excellent blocker, he'll get about 35 catches, 500 yards and 5-7 TDs. Porter and Haggans, one of the best outside linebackers in league. They'll produce about 20-25 sacks. Farrior and Foote will lead the team for about 150 tackles and 5-10 sacks. Ike Taylor, fans are gotta love this guy, he'll produce about 100 tackles, 25-30 passes defended and 5 INTs. McFadden will have a great 2nd season, will rise to become a shooting star, he'll make 50 tackles, 2-4 sacks and 3 INTs. Polamalu, one of my favorite defensive player, he'll make about 50-75 tackles, 5-7 sacks, 3-5 INTs and Defensive MVP candidate.



Rest all starters, and let Charlie Batch start a final game at Cincinnati Bungles/Jungles. 3rd string QB plays 2nd half if leading and winning.

Mission impossible to Perfect Season.

I like the second half of the schedule (New Orl, Tampa at home in Dec, Cleve x2, Balt x2), but the first half is TOUGH!!!!

[Justin Otstott]

damn that sucks...early bye-week!! Oh well im already pumped up for this season to start I cant wait!!!

[coachspeak33]

Yeah ... not a big fan of the early bye week.
Nor am I thrilled with playing 2 games in four days.

[Justin Otstott]

- good read. something tells me gallo is a steelerfan.


"Pittsburgh at Jacksonville -- Jaguars cornerback Rashean Mathis said it was a "statement game" last year when Jacksonville beat Pittsburgh in overtime. He was right. The statement was: "We're barely good enough to beat a team quarterbacked by Tommy Maddox."
