I hope so....

All the "experts" are giving us an A+ on the draft, saying we perfectly drafted for our needs. As always, time will tell.

Here we go Steelers. Crush the Crush

[Mr. Ed]

Hey, yinz.

[icehog3]

Better go soon, Denver up by 3 with 7 minutes left...

[Mikey202]

That didn't go as planned!!!

Broncos looked great.

Feel sorry for the Jets on Sunday.

I'll be the first to admit that I was not expecting Peyton to come out playing like he did.

I guess the only good thing I can say is that after tonight we'll be tied for 2nd place in the Division.

We need a big win today ladies and gents! Cannot afford to go down to Philly at home in the burgh! Should be a good one!

Not a good start by either team so far.

Wasn't pretty, but we pulled it out!

[Big Maduro]

As long as we got a win I'm happy.

That was a nasty win yesterday, but the boys responded to the "must have" and got it done.
It sure is nice to see Rashard Mendenhall back and running well. He's going to provide the other half of the offense we needed to make it work. Up till now, I bet Todd Haley was sweating bullets.
I worry that Antonio and Mike Wallace might think they're a bit too good for their own good. A little extra practice would go a long way towards making sure they catch the ball. Haley's game plan relies heavily on the strengths of this offense, and if he can't get guys to catch the ball, it'll be a long season.
I'm not talking about the couple long balls that were just off the fingertips, that's gonna happen. Sanders, Wallace and Brown each had a drop on easy passes, and they hurt us bad.
I hate to say it, but I think Troy is just about done. His style of play looks like it has just plain worn out that 31 year old body. If he could take it down a notch until he really needs it, he could probably stay healthy. I don't imagine he has that in him.
I sure hope he can heal up and be ready soon. We can sure use him.

With all our offense in place, it should really start coming together now. We have a lot softer schedule than last year, so that should help. Hopefully come playoff time this new offense should be at it's peak.

That was the best team we have played this season. A good win. Liked seeing Timmons & Worilds swirling around the field.
Game was over here at 1 pm, so celebrated with Mrs Ripper, who made me 2 garlic & apple sausage sandwiches on sesame seed rolls with grilled peppers, horseradish, onions & mushrooms. Fired a Pueblo Dominicano toro and it tasted great. Then a chorizo, green chile pico di gallo and black bean burrito for dinner during the baseball playoffs and Saints game, followed by a Diesel Unltd. d5.
Good day except that the Seahawks won.

Sad win at best, but the Steelers are starting their momentum like every season and should be there with the best of them come play-off time.

[srduggins]

We still need to get DD back at RG for the offense to be complete. Would love to see Colon sitting on the pine - 4 holding penalties in 1st quarter - WTF?

Has it now become legal to hold Steelers? 4 games and not a single offensive holding penalty in the Steelers favor? I can't remember a PI call in their favor either. As poorly as yesterday's game was officiated it paled in comparison to the Sunday night game. I can't remember the refs so obviously influencing a game. I miss the replacement refs. At least the game was called poorly for both sides.

[ucla695]

Ugh. Where's the running game?

[SteelCityBoy]

I'm just hoping this year ends up being like 2005, where we hit stride at the right time. The last 5 or so superbowl winners have come from wild card teams that caught fire when they needed to. Not saying its automatically going to be a wild card year for the Steelers, heck we still have all 6 remaining games versus the AFC north yet. But man, the injuries are starting to get old! The same thing every year, too many key players hurt! I know it's part of the game, but why is it every year? Either it's dumb luck, we are getting old, or we need a new conditioning coach!

Well, I know one thing....we need to get on a tear and rip off at least 5 or 6 straight wins or it's curtains for us!

Except for the insane fake FG, was a wonderful victory.
