Steelers trap game against Arizona
- Thread starter capping-guru
- Start date
And you know somewhere Anquan Boldin is licking his chops, he wants to burn his former team badly!
Here is a great article to read talking about what happened with the players and coaches after the blowout loss in Minny.
More and more I think the players right the ship. Gotta love what Wisenhunt did after that loss!! Must read.

Great Article. This sould normally be a no play for me. I have to feel Arizona is live though. Troy P is going toplay but should be whoozy. If Kolb can connect with Larry fitz. BEanie wells should be able to run against the steelers. I think you are definitely on the right side
i think you guys are overrating kolb, thought this line was low but apparently people are willing to throw money on this cardinals team
No this is just a game that most will be on Pittsburgh. Their run game has been bad and it is not a signature Pitt defense so far. Arizona has had a week to rest up and get the offense going. Steelers could easily overlook them with two tough conference games looming. The best team does not always win. Look at Seattle/Giants two weeks ago.
Good luck
interesting enough to say the least...but every time i see Cards game i tend to feel sleepy or simply snooze, while steelers games make me sweat and feel real pressure ... you may say this is irrelevant or plain lame, but i think Steelers will definitevely compete and may take this one ....i will stay away as i truly respect the involved people's capping abilities and if no consensus have been made, it's best to leave untouched BOL to y'all:toast:
I think the only reason NOT to take the Steelers is because it seems too easy. The line is about right, if they were home they would be -10 at least, maybe more. They were -12 vs JAX.
I think the reasons not to take Pitt is because the Pitt d is aging an overrated, the best player(maybe in the league) is off of a head injury, the ol seems to have regressed and they face an undervalued and cornered foe coached by a scorned former member of the steeler family. Plus, kolb gets an extra week. This is clutch since he missed prep time in the offseason for obvious reasons. Zona should continue to improve going forward.
I agree. Line is about right. If you take 3 for home field advantage, they are saying that Pitt is 7 points better than AZ. This would be -10 at home and -4 on the road.
that being said, I am heavily in the "pitt is overrated" camp. They are beat up, older, and slower and I think they have lost their close game magic tht has carried them for the past few years. I don't think Arizona is as bad as they have shown at time. Wisenhunt has them ready. I think Zona wins this outright.
Oh, i almost just repeated this post. Sorry, Cie, I missed this one. I think you are dead on here
I hope you guys are right. I would gladly pay a hat for every Steelers loss :toast:
Great....great discussion guys!! Man, if only every game we could all have a discussion like this.
I agree with Jack with CG in their latest comments, makes more and more sense to grab AZ big!!
Jordo20 hit the nail ont the head in his assessment as well. GL guys!

Just seems so obvious that there is no reason to pick the cardinals against the All Mighty Pittsburgh Steelers and over the yrs Ive seen some real "funny" things happen whereas the Steelers are concerned.
Im staying away from it:nono:

Total of Game?
Total of Game?
Another factor may come from the Cardinal Head Coach who is an old Steeler? I am too a Steelers fan and just do not feel comfortable with this line?
I do think this game will be similar to the Cardinal -vs- Cam Newton game earlier in the season and I am going to jump on the over!!
The Steelers are getting all kinds of crap about how they shut things down in the second half of the Jax. game. Think they come out guns a blazing with the 4 wide receiver sets. And with an old, yet still aggressive "D". for Pitt, I think Cards will also make some big plays?
Almost sounds to easy? Good Luck Fellows,

Here is a list of the former Steeler Coaches who are now coaches for the Arizona Cardinals.
Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt
Russ Grimm Assistant Head Coach
Kevin Spencer Special Teams
Deshea Townsend Assistant Defensive Backs
was a former player
Ray Horton Defensive Coordinator
Steelers Defensive Back coach from 2004-2010
Things to consider
(1) The game is at Arizona
(2) Arizona coming off a Bye Week
(3) Big Games coming up, after this game for the Steelers
(4) Steelers dealing with a lot injuries
(5) Ray Horton was the Steeler Defensive Back coach for 6 years before taking the Arizona Defensive Coordinator job this year.
I am a HUGE Steeler fan. But with 2 weeks to prepare and having coaches who personally know the tendencies of the players they coached. Game should be a Sell -Out because of Steeler Fans. Cardinals will be pumped up because they are playing the AFC Champions. I like and think this is a Great Spot for the Cardinals.
