Tomlin & Steelers coming to Houston week four press conference

[badboy]

Understood. But that team we beat yesterday was not a "quality opponent" which was my point. I wish they were.

Thankfully, not a lot of "quality opponents" on our schedule.

Pittsburgh was considered a quality opponent before kickoff.

You thought they were a quality opponent Wednesday

NFL Power Rankings for week four are out, Pittsburgh is 16 and Houston is 23. And Houston moved up 8 spots to be at 23.

I have no idea what to expect, this teams still mystifies me doing things I just didn't expect of them, and not doing the things I did expect. At least this team is a hell of a lot more fun to watch than last year's team.

Expect to slide back 12 spots next week.

I'm definitely not worried. I don't expect the Texans to win. We're 4 weeks into a new offense with a rookie OC, rookie QB, rookie Center... OL decimated by injury... we're not supposed to win. We may not score a TD. I'd be ecstatic if we regularly cross the 50 yard line.

Anything can happen. We might win. But I'm not worried about it.

With Trubiski starting for the next 4-6 weeks I doubt the Steelers will make the playoffs.

Is there a real difference between Trubiski and Pickett, right now? The Steelers were a fringe team (8 or 9 wins) going into the season, and remain so. It's not like they don't have talent. It's the QB position, or how they use the QB.

Do you now believe 10 wins are possible?

No I don’t expect 10 wins, but I sure wouldn’t complain if it happens, just don’t want to jinx

That's not necessarily what that means. that could be a reflection of me thinking the Texans were not competitive at all.

but you're right, I did think Pittsburgh was a quality opponent before the game. I watched them play. I no longer think they are a quality opponent.

Similar to the way I can watch our OL play & know there's something going on there beyond "talent" I am saying Pittsburgh's problems run deeper than their offense.
