New England (thoughts)

The Steelers have to feel a sense of urgency going into this game. I know the players feel just as bad about Sunday’s loss as the fanbase does right now. There are a lot of players in that locker room that are competitive, hungry, and (most likely) angry. The Patriots offense has struggled this season, even worse than the Steelers in terms of point generation. In addition, they have turned the ball over a lot (20 times). It is a simple stat that goes a long way, especially with the Steelers: When the Steelers create turnovers, and do not turn the ball over themselves, then win, nearly always. The Steelers did not force a turnover in their game Sunday, this will change and this will be the difference in the game. I anticipate the Steelers and the Steelers’ fans showing up hungry and loud for this game. I think they all know how the margin for error is getting tighter.

Go Steelers!

This is a short week, so there will be one additional “pregame post” this week.
