Dude I'm team Steelers but nothing about that offensive line gives me hope that

that's going to happen. You won't beat many teams getting outscored 27-6 in

one quarter but let's give the Steelers and lady luck some credit because they

shut Calvin Johnson out(literally) and the Lions in the second half.

Thats why I said if. Didn't get to see the game except for highlights. Ben was sacked only once in the game so maybe theres hope.

Yeah it was fortunate that he was only sacked once but the line couldn't open any running

lanes for LeVeon Bell. He was running practically nowhere. His biggest play came on a pass catch. The lack of a running game is what practically allowed Detroit to rape the Steelers in

the second quarter and although Ben was only sacked once in the game he was under duress in that second qtr.

Thoughts on the Browns game??

The Texans are pretty messed up.

Giants are still in it, thanks to luck(no Aaron Rodgers) and the woeful division they're in, lol. But they can't afford a loss to Dallas.

Well after calming down after last week debacle I'm gonna see how the rest of the season plays out. I saw some improvement from Mike Adams on the right side but Beachum and Gilbert were awful most times. Like Huey stated if the front office decides to keep Tomlin they definitely have to get rid of Haley and LeBeau time to step down and I respect what he's done. It may be time for the Steelers FO to let Tomlin run his Tampa 2 cover scheme. There are too many teams running the 3-4 scheme now. Time for a change on the defensive side of the ball.

Phunkdaddy (and anybody else) what do you think of the new pro bowl? I hate it.

Steelers have to match Browns intensity. They aren't the little brothers you can just push around anymore.

Just about everyone is healthy and are expected to play this sunday. So far Ben has played every game so far.

Big plus. Screw the Pro Bowl I've been done with it since Roger moved it to the

week before the Super Bowl thus altering the Pro Bowl rosters since the players who

are on Super Bowl teams won't be able to participate thus changing the roster about

30 times with alternates.

Anybody saw Bill Belichick press conference last night after the Pats lost

to the Panthers. That guy always looks like the grumpy old grandpa.

Fuck the Patriots. I have two words for them and their whining fans - "Tuck Rule".

Chris Rainey signs with the Colts

Good for Chris Rainey. Hope he has his act together off the field.

Abusing women(twice) isn't cool. I only liked him as a return guy.

I felt the Steelers forced some of the plays for him last season.

He's fast. On the right team he could be a real threat.

Steelers 27

Browns 11

WTF My Bears got spanked. Hell, even my ass hurts.

OH! There are no ties in football, WTH!! Vickings 26 Packers26.

Season's over, and the Giants have no one to blame but themselves. I don't want to hear about refs. The refs didn't cause Victor Cruz to fumble, The refs didn't put NY in an 0-6 hole. Handle your business!

Jerry Reese deserves heat too. He did a lousy job of addressing the team's holes during the off-season and it was a big reason for the bad start.

Yes sir! Will Allen has been a nice find in that secondary.

How about the Steelers o-line not giving up a sack today

against a very good Browns defense. Ike Taylor is starting to

scare me a little with Torrey Smith and the Ravens on deck.

Ike Taylor has plenty of skid marks in his draws the last two

games.

The Bears can't stop the run. Teams have been running all over them since their interior tackles and linebackers got knocked out for the season. Worse yet, Detroit is too inconsistent, and the Packers aren't going anywhere unless and until Aaron rogers comes back.

All I have to say is.....Peyton is to Brady as Brady is to Eli. They just can't beat em'!!!!

At best the Steelers can reach a 9-7 record and that won't make the playoffs at this point.

There is still hope but the steelers need help with a Cincinnati collapse. The Steelers have 3 of 4 remaining at home but none of which are gimme games.

Yeah a long shot, alot of AFC teams will need to lose like the Ravens, Jets, Chargers, Titans, Dolphins maybe Raiders
