That's one less undefeated team in the league.

As 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
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?

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

[Mikey202]

Well, Favre is another story. I'm glad he didn't attempt to tackle anyone 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.

[shilala]

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.

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

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.

[marge796]

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

[marge796]

Nice win for the Black & Gold!!!





Chris.....

[srduggins]

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.

[acarr]

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

Chris.....

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!!!

[ucla695]

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

[Mikey202]

BEAT DEM BUNGLES!!!!
