I think we see a very competitive Eli today  
shelovesnycsports : 12/4/2016 9:30 am : link
One of his last opportunity to knock down Ben.
He will be slinging it today and Pittsburghs DBs can be beat. Also Ben Meet JPP and Vernon. Ben loves the those seven yard drop backs.
And we have Landon Collins too which is Nice.
I think this game can easily be  
est1986 : 12/4/2016 9:41 am : link
An "Instant Classic" kind of game. Late back and forth TD exchange. I just hope Eli has the ball to end the game.
It's no secret

The steelers will abuse our LBs all day with their TEs, RBs, and slot receivers. They are going to concentrate on taking advantage of our LBs.
Besides turnovers  
jpennyva : 12/4/2016 9:53 am : link
clock management, special teams and penalties will be huge today. Of those, special teams concerns me the most.

I don't know who the officiating crew is but fingers are crossed that a fair game will be called, though can't do much on that front if it isn't the case.

I have not been a fan of Harris running it out of the end zone. He hasn't been able to get up to or past the 25 all that often so I'd prefer that he take a knee. I am torn about OBJ returning punts. While he can be explosive, it feels like there is a higher vulnerability to those plays and I'd prefer OBJ not be quite so vulnerable. However, if the Giants' need for better field position necessitates taking a chance with OBJ in that role, so be it.

Everyone needs to hold onto the ball today. I also would not be surprised if the Giants defense scores another defensive TD today.
In Pittsburgh now

Overcast and upper 30's. Play a smart game and get out of here with a W.

I see this game as a high scoring contest  
Tuckrule : 12/4/2016 9:57 am : link
sadly I think the Giants come up a few points short to the tune of 31-28. I can see both OBJ and AB getting 2 tds a piece.
Psyched to go

Never been to Heinz Field. We WILL win today!
Giants,

Talking about a video that surfaced of Antonio Brown & ODB hanging out last night... Most were saying you don't fraternize with the "enemy" BEFORE the game... After OK, but never before! CC said he's stop by a (his) former teams hotel B4 a game to say Hey to (former) teammate friends but not hang out... (not sure I believe that...)

Problem or not?? (Focus during game...?) For me NO! ODB always seems pretty intense & focused on WINNING. Will do whatever it takes. (& gets downright PO'ed when he's not included... enuf)
Won't be watching.

Always difficult  
gmenatlarge : 12/4/2016 10:22 am : link
To beat a desperate team at home, steelers need to keep pace with the ravens, but not impossible. Go Giants!
I don't know how they are going to do it  
Sec 103 : 12/4/2016 10:36 am : link
But the Jints will get it done !!!
It's an absolute MUST that the Giants offense show up today.  
eclipz928 : 12/4/2016 10:39 am : link
The defense should hold up okay if they can contain LeVeon Bell, but the offense cannot fuck around in this game - they will need sustain drives and put up 28 points, or they will lose.
Don't Worry guys I've got this.

Steeler  
PEEJ : 12/4/2016 10:55 am : link
are hardly "desperate". They're tied with Balt. at the moment and have a home game left with the Ravens
Most exciting Giants game since Super Bowl.  
area junc : 12/4/2016 11:04 am : link
Almost 5 calendar years ago. Gonna enjoy this one.

And next week's will be even better.
To have any chance to win  
joeinpa : 12/4/2016 11:12 am : link
The offense is going to need to stay away from the pathetic string of three and outs we saw last week.
If this years offense played like last years offense Giants  
Blue21 : 12/4/2016 11:12 am : link
would be a favorite with the way our D is playing. But this years just sqeaking by offense......it's going to catch up to them. Hopefully they find the answer starting today.
If the Giants win today

not too far from Pittsburgh. This has to be exciting for him.

Anyone here think that Odell's competitiveness will be sacrificed one iota because he's also friends with Antonio Brown?

Rw81, I know this wasn't a complaint of yours, but this type of concern is one of the more tired 'well, in my day' complaints that are out there. These guys are friends. It's OK.
Are Troy and Joe Buck Calling this one?

If they are the Ben love may be enough to put the Mute on.

Steelers last two wins against Browns and Luck-less Colts and they've lost last two at home. They aren't a powerhouse. Control Bell. Pressure Ben. Run the ball enough. This game is winnable.

Bobby, you know that past results (Browns, Colts) are not indicative of all that much..You also know, playing any team from NY brings out the best in opponents..
okay -- enough of Debbie downer  
gidiefor : Mod : 12/4/2016 12:01 pm : link
the strengths of Pittsburgh and the Giants match well -- Giants Defense against Pittsburgh Offense -- we have limited star receivers and star running backs really well this year and our Dline plays disciplined manning the gaps

the weaknesses match well too -- Giants Offense against Pittsburgh's Defense - elite WRs have had their way with Pittsburgh this year -- and this favors Eli as the "difference" factor

I do see it as being a tough game -- but I see the Giants limiting Pittsburgh scoring and making key stops. Eli should be able to make 3 or 4 Tds today -- with a missed PAT on the Giants or 3 TDs + 2 Fgs and 2 Pittsburgh TDs and 3 FGs -- 27 to 23 Giants win

AcidTest : 12/4/2016 12:04 pm : link
to be able to run the ball, or Pittsburgh like everyone else, will simply keep its safeties back. The return of Newhouse and Jones should help.

GO GIANTS!
The Steelers are in for some pain...

Doomster : 12/4/2016 12:49 pm : link
not only about the linebackers, but also the Free Safety position......the Steelers have guys that can go long....is Adams quick enough to help the corners and protect the middle?

I think the offense has to win this one.....

Out of our 5 remaining games, this is the least important

Agreed.
Be nice if the offense shows up in this one.

I predict Collins, Jenkins, DRC, JPP, Vernon and Hankins

Have monster games in a big Giants win today. Time for our defense to start getting the respect it deserves by beating a top offense

I'm sure the stadium will be packed with giants fans. I don't see the typical home field advantage the steelers are used to having being a factor today.

Or will it be another 60 minutes of watching him catch the DE as he charges into our LT's chest?
