Obligatory game day post.

[mraynrand]

Is there a path to victory in this game? Could the lights turn on for Hundley, or will he be a deer in the Steeler headlights trying to guess which of the front seven will be coming? Will the Packers be able to run the ball at all? Will the defense get score on on every possession or force a punt. Will people be turning the thing off by the first quarter or the half?

It's so much easier to watch when you don't expect to win. When things go to crap, it's almost expected now instead of disappointment. Rams look pretty good though.

The only path is if the Steelers look past this game. Ben would have to play poorly for the Packers to have a chance.

This will be a great game to fall asleep to on the couch.

No way. Hundley coming out party. Fireworks. Really big Sheeeeeew.

The pack is back.

Pack is Back is tainted beyond belief with years of false promise. Need new phrase for Packers as underdog.

How about "Watch out for your corn hole, bud"

Steelers have played poorly earlier this year. They aren't a juggernaut unless Brown and Bell get the ball in their hands at the second level. They could be stopped.

McCarthy will have had to adapt his offense to Hundley, who is still too slow going to his second and third post snap reads. It could happen.

As Rand has said, McCarthy usually lays off the stubbornness when their backs are against the wall. Its a road game in his hometown. I think M3 might throw the entire playbook out the window and run something from his Pitt days.

You've had a full day of drinking. It'll be 28-3...at half time. Steelers walk.

Actually, I kinda expect the opposite. I think the Packers throw the kitchen sink at them. Use both challenges, an onside kick, punt reverse, fake FG and a Gritz Blitz before half. I expect it to be within reach at halftime.

Once the fireworks are over, it might get out of hand in the second half.

i think the exact opposite, we are going to get blown away by brown early and often, the game will be lopsided by halftime. during the third quarter the steelers will put in their scrubs and we will score a couple of times with our starters to make it look a lot closer then it really will be

I expect at least one fake punt/FG

Called the first half!!!

Let's hope I am wrong about the second! Odds should be good.

I must have fallen asleep. I missed the fake FG and onside kick.

Nope and nope.

Its just no fun not rooting for them and having a little hope, as that noted orator Bud Selig once said.

Matthews, Monty, Jones and Clark are not active.

Much better than I could have said it. I'll add that M3 is good for putting together at least one stunner gameplan per year. Maybe tonight is that night.
