That's not as important as the fact that those updates are from Josina Anderson at ESPN. She's a stone-cold fox.

She is a fox!!!

for those who want to know....Big Ben has been hit 288 times in his NFL career.

Huge win today! That was the Steelers team that I am used to watching! Dominating "D" good run game and Ben on his game! Bring on the Jags and lets keep rolling!

SteelCityBoy · 10-17-2011, 06:47 AM

Anyone see the game yesterday? First one I missed in 13 years, but for good reason....attended my first herf in Maryland. I saw Mendenhall ran for near 150 yards with a TD and Ben tossed another TD, but I was surprised to see the score that close. The stats looked like we dominated Jacksonville (they only had 209 total offensive yards) so I was just wondering what the game looked like. Did we look good or was it an average performance? J-ville is obviously not that good so I would have expected a more dominating performance at home.

CigarSquid · 10-17-2011, 06:55 AM

As a jaguar fan, I was shocked myself to see it so close. After the 0-17 score the jags were able to show Pitt down and force them to punt a few times and come back with 13 unanswered points.

Jags on the other hand, could not get anything going. Punted like 8 times. I thought Pittsburgh was going to blow us away.

Born and raised a Steeler fan here, grew up about an hour south of the 'Burgh, straight down I-79.

Here we go, Steelers, here we go!

SteelCityBoy · 10-24-2011, 08:22 AM

Great game versus the Cards yesterday! Would have liked to see more from the running game but I remember the days when we wouldn't have a 100 yard rusher and would lose all the time. At least that stat is long gone. I must say though as much as I love the passing game (especially with stud Mike Wallace) I yearn for the days of Bettis up the middle and a cloud of dust in his wake...

Oh well, a win is a win is a win as they say! The true tests of where this team really is will be upon us the next few weeks! The Pats and then the Ravens back to back weeks. Time to see what we're made of boys!

Redman is the next Bettis. Need 2 yards...he'll get you 5.

SteelCityBoy · 10-29-2011, 11:44 AM

Huge game upcoming for Steeler Nation against the dreaded Patriots!!! I am going to get seriously geared up for this one!!! I am tired of the domination b*tch boy Brady has had on us! We will see just were this team is tomorrow! Here we go Steelers here we go!!!!

I wouldn't mind seeing something like this happen tomorrow...

Bruins Fan · 10-29-2011, 12:58 PM

Squealers will lose by 10,Brady just might pass for 400 yards

I am as die hard a Steelers fan as they come and I will say that we are due for a win against the Pats! I respect them so much because of what they have done to us in the past. I am being cautiously optimistic! Should be one helluva good game!

Wow. What a ***** move hoping for a guy to get hurt. Its obvious you never have had any sport injury in your life.

I wish for no one to get hurt, just hate the way that Brady always destroys us. Perhaps the pic was a bit much to relate my feelings of him. I am just a passionate fan and he is one helluva QB. I played some high school ball but never had an injury so I have no idea what it's like. Sorry if my passion for the game has miscontrused your judement of my character...

I understand being a passionate fan, but wishing a severe injury on someone is just misplaced anger. "I hope Tom Brady has a crappy day because he is thinking about his super-model wife all day" is a lot different than, " I hope Brady gets his knee blown out because I don't want him to beat the Steelers ass." Its kind of like hoping a boss will have a heart attack so you won't have to deal with them.

I don't think anyone took it literally, Larry, except maybe you. I certainly didn't take the picture as wishing Brady a serious injury, I took it as him getting his ass knocked out. I wouldn't mind seeing that a bit, and I'm a big fan of Tom Brady. He's a hell of a ball player. Senseless and on the bench is right where I'd like him.
I'm not sure why you'd bring his wife into this, you probably hurt Tom's feelings.

If your boss is a dickhead then....meh.

Don't want anyone to get hurt. Brady is one of the best Qb's ever. But he is also one of the biggest crybaby's out there.

Commander Quan · 11-06-2011, 09:52 PM

It's too bad we had to play against the Ravens and the officials tonight.

Our downfall was letting them convert on so many 3rd down. That was disappointing.

shilala · 10-29-2011, 01:44 PM

I like the Steelers odds tomorrow. I feel way better about this one than I did last year even though our D is so nicked up. I'm really starting to believe in the quality of this pass-happy gameplan, even if I don't like it much. I'm just used to the STeelers coming to town, beating you half to death, and running the ball over the pile of broken bodies.

I think our offense can do more damage to their non-existant defense than their offense can do to our nicked up D.
I think we can neutralize their monster tight ends pretty well. I think Brady will try to force the ball over the middle and I look for a few interceptions that are long overdue. The takeaways should make the difference if we can hold down the center of the field.
At least that's how I see it.

I like your breakdown and agree that this might actually be a shootout, something that just normally doesn't happen with the Steelers but your right about their "D." I can see a 41-35 type of score happening with passing yards by both teams getting rediculous. If we get our run game going too it will be all over for Brady and the Pats!

proguy747 · 10-30-2011, 09:01 AM

Agree with Brady being a huge crybaby. He was that neighborhood kid that would quit the game when he was being manhandled, but you needed him to make the teams even.

On to the game which should be a great one.

shilala · 10-30-2011, 10:31 AM

Hines Ward is out today with his ankle. He's going to be sorely missed. I don't think he'd get a lot of targets but he throws a nice block and ties up short coverage and that gets Heath open. It's definately gonna hurt our short yardage passing game and that takes points off the board.
I'm not as confident as I was yesterday, all of a sudden. I still think our team outweighs theirs and I haven't looked at New England's injuries.
We can't get the game on cable or antenna today, so we'll be watching at Ruby Tuesdays. I think the Steelers are 7-1 when we go to Ruby Tuesdays, so that's a strong advantage right there.
