To Think About ...

Idle thoughts here -- and mostly wishful/hopeful thinking, but Joey Porter's Pit Bulls have a feeling that ...
  • Willie Parker is going to accelerate fast and often on Gillette Stadium's fast FieldTurf, and have a big game.
  • The Patriots' aging inside-linebacker tandem of Junior Seau and Tedy Bruschi will have their hands full keeping up with Parker, tight end Heath Miller and the Steelers' receivers on crossing routes.
  • Tyrone Carter will torture Wes Welker.
  • Wes Welker will torture Tyrone Carter and the Steelers in general.
  • Supermodel Gisele Bundschen will cringe in horror, as James Harrison makes Tom Brady his bitch, at least once.
  • Patriots left tackle Matt Light, who is an outstanding offensive lineman, is losing sleep over the thought of James Harrison making Tom Brady his bitch. Light had all kinds of trouble with Ravens rookie linebacker Antwan Barnes (out of Florida International, of "Ned" fame). On Monday night, Barnes looked strikingly similar to Harrison (The Silverback), who was just named AFC Defensive Player of the Month. Neither Barnes nor Harrison is the tallest of linebackers, but that presents a real problem to a player like Light. Leverage, my friend, leverage.
  • Rodney Harrison will limp off the field in pain and exhaustion.
  • Randy Moss will drop at least one pass.
  • The Patriots will try all-out to block a punt by Daniel Sepulveda, but the Steelers will have planned for it. Sepulveda runs for a touchdown early in the game, and the Steelers feed off that energy and ride it to a surprisingly convincing win.
