Who Dey? Dey are the Losers!

Nothing makes my weekend more enjoyable than watching the Steelers win, nothing except.. Beating the Bengals and holding Chad “big mouth” Johnson scoreless and making him look like what he is, an average receiver with a very large mouth. We’ve really dominated da Bungals the last several years going 7-0 at Cincy and making “the mouth” look bad.

Overall, it was a good game but there are some holes that need filling bad. The defense is playing soft on the pass and allowing the 10-15 yd. passes across the middle. I can’t figure this one out, we’ve got good corners and the best safety in the league. The run defense is spotty, crushing running backs one minute then allowing a 16 yd gain the next.

The offense is good and Ben seems to be making better decisions but still makes some mistakes, luckily they didn’t hurt us today. The running game is good with Fast Willie doing what he does best, make plays. I’d like to see them spread the ball around a bit more in the passing game, Ben seems to get locked on a receiver from the start of the game and that becomes his go-to guy for the day.

We’ve got a pretty good schedule from here to the last game of the season, with only 1 team (Ravens) with a winning record before we play the Patriots. I like our chances of winning the next 5 games and the division but man, a look ahead to the playoffs and things get really interesting.

Last Second Field Goal Deflates Steelers

What a game. It started off good as the Steelers marched down the field like a 4 and 1 team and scored with ease. After that the wheels pretty much came off and Denver poked holes in every weakness we have. They dominated us in the passing game, we actually made Cutler look like a decent quarterback and I know that’s not the case. He picked us apart on 3rd down and we couldn’t put any pressure on him at all.

Why oh why did Tomlin score so quickly at the end of the game? With 1:10 left on the clock he continues to pass the ball and score quickly. Why not run the ball at least once? If they stop the clock, you make them burn a timeout, if not, you burn another 30 seconds. That was a critical mistake and cost us the game.

You know the defense has to play soft and prevent the score or big pass and that leaves the middle wide open for the 10 yd. pass and that’s exactly what Denver did all night. I’m also sick of the bad calls in this league, it’s happened so many times this year it’s pathetic. They missed a false start (on us) they missed several roughing calls on Big Ben, they missed every close call there was. Pathetic.

Oh well, off to Cincinnati to play the Bungles, this should be interesting…..

Embarrassing Loss to the Cardinals

What a game, I can’t believe that was the same team that’s won 3 games or should I say.. dominated 3 games. I can’t believe just having Troy and Hines out of the game made that much of a difference. I know Troy is a stud on defense but come on.. that was embarrassing. No one was tackling and to allow Leinhart and Warner to abuse us like that, well, it’s disgusting.

Note to offensive line: make a friggin block please, my goodness.. Ben had approximately 1 second each snap to make a decision and that obviously doesn’t work. I really don’t know what else to say about the O line for this week, they only looked good on 2 drives the whole game.

Well, we can’t win every game but if we play like we did today, we’ll see many more losses.

One good thing came out of this game, Santonio Holmes looked really good and that looks promising to me.
