Opening Day 2014!

"I need to go to the bathroom---QUICK!"

The Steelers open the 2014 season the same way they ended the 2013 season--at home against the Browns. Hopefully they open this year like they ended last year--with a win!

The Steelers are going to use a lot of no huddle. This is to keep Cleveland off balance but to also figure out exactly how this offense is going to work. On paper,it looks great--good running backs and speed on the flanks with Dri Archer and company. On the other hand, there is not a lot of experience, so that will be a factor.

Cleveland has a good defensive line and excellent coverage guys in the secondary so look for a lot of quick short passes to keep the linebackers back off the line.  If Pittsburgh's running game with Bell and Blount gets rolling, it will be a long day for the Browns.

The Steeler defense has been retooled and has speed on its side.  It is not "old and slow" but it is unblooded.  Look for a lot of blitzes and we might get burned a few times.  Keisel and Polamalu provide veteran leadership/mentors but they cannot be everywhere (though Troy comes closer than most...)

This will be a pretty good game.

Never underestimate anyone!

Even Cleveland.

Look for tight one, something like 24-21, Steelers.

Get the year off to a good start!
