Week 4: AGREE TO DISAGREE

My comments on this week's Steeler's Hompage edition of "Agree to Disagree":


1. Red zone (touchdown) percentage is the most important stat in the NFL. DISAGREE. Scoring percentage is the most important statistic; getting the points when you have the opportunity.




2. The high number of turnovers by the Steelers is more of a concern that the low number of turnovers. AGREE. Defensive takeaways are often the result of chance and not a result of good defensive play. Offensive turnovers are almost ALWAYS the result of poor offensive play. Therefore, turnovers are more indicative of the play of your team.




3. A 2-2 record after four games would be problematic. AGREE. In this case, if the Steelers play their game they won't lose. I they lose  they won't have played their game and then, YES, it will be a problem.




4. The Texans are the best team the Steelers will have played so far this season. DISAGREE. I think the Baltimore Ravens are still the best team the Steelers have played. If not, the score in Houston could be 70-0; which I'm sure it won't be.




PREDICTION: Texans 24 STEELERS 23
