00:00 I'm probably a sucker here, Joe.

00:05 They've looked awful the last three weeks losing some of these games, especially the Cardinal

00:09 game, the Patriot game.

00:11 They lost on the road last week.

00:13 I just, there's a part of me with the one last stand for Tomlin at home with Mason Rudolph

00:21 at quarterback where I'm leaning to taking the Steelers on Saturday, Joe, as crazy as

00:26 that.

00:27 All you gotta do is take Tomlin as an underdog.

00:30 Tomlin dog at home.

00:33 I tell you, he's a beaten down dog.

00:34 I think it makes a difference for the Bengals if they potentially don't have Chase, Joe.

00:38 I think that changes things for Browning this week as well.

00:41 It could be a big Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins type of game and maybe even mixing, you know,

00:47 they got, in order for Pittsburgh to win that game, they have to get ugly because we're

00:52 in agreement.

00:53 If you're going to have Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, or even Trubisky for that, any quarterback

00:58 in that system to step back and throw with 50 times and go toe to toe with a lethal offense,

01:04 that's going to be very difficult.

01:05 They got to get in the weeds in the muck and get this game 21-17.

01:11 The problem that I have, Carver, is where is the killer mentality?

01:14 If you didn't have it against Arizona and you allowed that team to smack you around

01:19 in your house, are they going to have it against a team that's actually peaking right now?

01:24 That is the problem.

01:25 They were up 14 to nothing, 13-0 in that game against Garner-Minchio.

01:30 They lose Pittman, they lose Zach Moss, and they still lost by 17 points.

01:36 Where is the killer mentality?

01:38 Forget Trubisky.

01:39 Where is the defense right now?
