If Troy gets a handful of needles, he should produce about 8 picks this week. He might have to hand off for the pick six, though. :D
Will he get an assist on that?

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Going to the game tomorrow with the kids. I need the Steelers defense to open up a case or whoop azz on Min for my fantasy team and Ben to score 3 td's:banger. I am benching Adrian Peterson because I can't sit at the game getting all jacked up for the Steelers and hoping AP getting his points.

P.S. I am playing against DaKlugs:ss

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

#43 practiced with a knee brace on this week. Going to be a good game. My wife is a Favre fan........ hope he gets whacked.:D

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Huge game today. I hope the Steelers D shuts down Favre!

Go Steelers!!

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Gotta hand it to you guys.
What a great D so far.
Minnesota's very good offense is going backwards.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Great win by the Steelers and way to go D!!! :wo

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Nice to see Favre can't pull off a miracle every game. :tu

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

I'm thankful for that, Tom. :tu
Brett sure didn't get any help from his receivers today, for sure. The whole team was definately "off" today. I'd have liked to see the Steelers beat Minnesota with Minnesota's best game on the field, but I'll definately take it. :)

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

What a great game. Our offense looked a little flat but the Defense stepped up. Damn you Jeff Reed!!!!


:wo


Chris.....

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Great defense to bring Favre back down to Earth a bit.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

That's one less undefeated team in the league.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

:tdAs a member of the Steeler Nation, I'm callin' out Jeff "Skippy" Reed. Enough is enough. Missed field goals, dumb-ass behavior off the field, and a no guts, girlie-man attempt, at stopping a kick-off return. He wants to act tough, and destroy paper towel dispensers, and get ticketed for drunk and disorderly last week, but when it comes to making an open field tackle, your balls are not to be found. Your a coward, and I hope that the powers that be bench your skirt wearin' ass.:mad:

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Yep - that was a weak a$$ "attempt" at a tackle, I would hope he get a few hours with the defense this week. Excellent game, I thought they were on par with each other. Thank god for the Vikings penalties and a few other things that went our way.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Well said! He's a jacka$$ for sure.


:tf


Chris.....

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Jeff isn't going to get benched, he's already paid for the year.
This is the last year of his contract. He'll be kicking for the CFL next year.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

All steeler fans are required to
send a fruitbasket to that jackass Favre, he's the biggest reason Steelers won the game. You call Reed a coward Mikey? What about those two weak ass tackle attempts by Favre on his int and fumble that were returned for touches?
Yeah, he looked really "tough" on those, given how he likes to play up the how tough he is myth:r

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Brett is 40, Vic. I'm 42 and if I took one snap in the NFL, I'd be in the ICU for 6 to 8 weeks.
Brett got splattered by James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley (a couple times each) yesterday, and as I remember, he walked off the field under his own power yesterday.
He's either incredibly tough or completely mental. :r
He certainly didn't lose that game for Minnesota yesterday, either. Despite having the Steelers line under his shirt all day, he made precision passes that got dropped at least a half dozen times.
I'd contend that those drops were clearly fear-induced. Even though Troy was 80% yesterday (I saw at least two hits where Troy didn't finish his tackles or wrap the guys up), any opponent within 50 yards of him has to be scared to death.
Remember Greg Lloyd? :D

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Scott, I get where you're coming from, but those turnovers were Favres fault, and if he's either afraid or unwilling to make a tackle, he doesn't belong on the field. That may sound harsh, but he's paid a lot of money to be a football player, and football players need toake tackles sometimes. If he's too old to do that, he's too old to be out there IMHO

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Well, Favre is another story. I'm glad he didn't attempt to tackle anyone:D If I was a Vikings fan, I might call him out. I kinda lost some respect for him with the whole I'm retired, wait...no i'm not Diva deal.

I'm just suprised at how Jeff Reed has acted since we won the Superbowl last year, and is still out there kickin' for us.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Vic, I just typed a gorgeous line about how Brett brings intangibles, and it got wiped away by a software glitch.
To make a short story of it, consider for a moment that this is the NFL, it's a business, and if I'm paying the bill, Brett isn't allowed to tackle anyone, ever.
That scenario makes a lot more sense than "afraid or unwilling".
A couple more quick things...
It took Minnesota 12 weeks to win 6 games last year, and they had pretty much the softest schedule in the nfl.
They finished 10-6, and got beat by the Eagles in the first round.
They were two or three bounces from handing the Steelers their ass yesterday.
All things considered, they're pretty much the same team except for Brett.
Had they played the Steelers at this time last year, they'd still be trying to add up the score, despite the fact the Steelers were struggling. :r

Oh yeah, one of the intangibles...
He drew Casey Hampton offsides twice yesterday with cadence.
That's how good Brett is. :tu

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Yep, Skippy has his moments, but he has also been a clutch performer for us in the past. I'd much rather see him attempting a late game-winning kick than Kris Brown. I won't be sad to see him go, but they better get another great kicker as Heinz field is not an easy place to kick.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Big game tonight! They start their sprint to the finish line which ends in Miami in February.


Chris.....

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Nice win for the Black & Gold!!!

Chris.....

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

A lot of rust after the bye week, but came back to dominate in the 2nd half. Denver isn't looking so good anymore. Big, big game next week.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Nice D tonight. Next week is one more tough game, them a few cream puffs for about 4 weeks.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

I stand corrected by Rashard Mendenhall. He said in his post game interview "It's not a sprint but, a marathon to the finish " The finish being #7 for the Steel City & the Boys in Black and Gold. Watch out Cincinnati!!!

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

We played well in the second half. I hope we show up and avenge our loss to the Bengals!!

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

BEAT DEM BUNGLES!!!!:ss

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Someone has to teach Reed how to play football! I mean, how to pursue (angles) and how to tackle. Perhaps he just needs more conditioning? Meh.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

STEELERS EAT IT! WHO DEY! Bow Down! :su

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Once again, Jeff Reed pussies out, on a kick return. I don't care about the FG's he made, that's his job. What he fails at is extra effort. You have no intensity Skippy, and it is time for you to go.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

It was a good game...I am so happy to see the Bengals playing with so much heart.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

I smoked an Opus X from '03 after the game to cheer me up. It didn't work, but I did get to smoke a great cigar!

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

As much as it sucks loosing to Cinci, I think the Patriots fans have it way worse. They lost to their egotistical d-bag coach.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

:D that's funny right there.:D

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

UGH!!! What a loss. :r:(

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

It was painful to watch!

Lets hope that Ben's head is ok, Batch is out for 6 weeks.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

ESPN said that Ben will play Sunday.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Dixon played a hell of a game. tough loss.

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

:wnr

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Yep, Steelers had the game won, but couldn't get off the field on 4th down, then looked anemic at the end of regulation. Dixon looks like a player. What are the chances Ben plays next week?

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

That was a much better game than I was expecting. I would have like to have seen Dixon move around and run more than he did, instead of giving the ball to Mendenhall and Parker who just run straight into the pile every time.

I think our biggest issue is on special teams which completely blows. Have we even had a run back go past mid field this year? And the other teams have no issue returning a kick or punt out to at least their own 40 .

Re: Steelers fans check in...
 

Not going to happen!
