It won't be good enough to make the playoffs but they will continue to fight through this miserable season. Cowher will retire at year's end and The Whizzenator will be named head coach ten minutes afterwards.<br /><br />The mark of Cowher's tenure will be that once again, despite every reason to do so, the players will not fold the tent at the seven game mark...starting with a resounding victory over Denver Sunday. We bottomed out last week, the roll begins this week.

Grace period, shmace period. <br /><br />Andy's exactly right that R-berger was mishandled. You're playing the league's worst team-- a perfect excuse to give your franchise QB an extra week of rest and recovery. Just because he's cleared to play doesn't mean he has to play. With Batch in there they win 13-6 (or something like that) at worst. <br /><br />Offensive underperforming (on a relative scale) is nothing new in the Cowher era. But what's the defense's excuse? Bad line play? Lax secondary? Did everybody else get a memo giving away Dick LeBeau's secrets? Why are they so unusually bad at stopping red-zone opportunities from turning into TDs? Got to be a lack of intensity, right?Russell Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819923803855144915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-20492110866638673632006-10-31T14:58:00.000-05:002006-10-31T14:58:00.000-05:00Sure doctors cleared Roethlisberger, but I think t...Sure doctors cleared Roethlisberger, but I think they are paid to "clear" these guys if they can remotely function. He should have had the week off. I wouldn't blame this one on him. I would just get more cynical regarding the doctors who work for teams in the NFL.<br /><br />The Steelers are teh best 2-5 team in the league. How's that for the glass is half full?<br /><br />It can't be so bad to trade a superbowl victory and all the karma Pittsburgh used up last year for a losing season this year (or even a winning one where they miss the playoffs). I would make that trade every time. My team just stinks every year and there's no payoff. I'm jealous.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983116702428536760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-51258747297679537582006-10-31T12:06:00.000-05:002006-10-31T12:06:00.000-05:00Once the play of the offensive line improves so wi...Once the play of the offensive line improves so will Ben's. The team must be able to run the football effectively in order to win football games. Ben's most effective when throwing between 20-25 passes per game. <br /><br />That said, forget about any miracle comebacks. This team isn't going to run off a nine-game win streak and make the playoffs. It's not going to happen. The running game is messed up, the special teams stink and they still don't have a true number one wide receiver. Hines is a great number two and a possession receiver but he won't stretch the field.<br /><br />Unfortunately there is no NFL rule that stipulates the Steelers must be in the post season every year. We'd love that but it's not our right. That's why it is so special when the Steelers make those runs to the post season. Hold on last year's success and remember there is always next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-21095423745942053512006-10-31T11:42:00.000-05:002006-10-31T11:42:00.000-05:00lets go broncos!!!

Being the best 2-5 team is little consolation, and considering we just lost to Oakland not even sure we can make that claim. <br /><br />Too early to start thinking of the 2007 draft, but not too early to start thinking about how to wreck the playoff chances for somebody else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-86911055288192316122006-10-31T02:38:00.000-05:002006-10-31T02:38:00.000-05:00Let's look at the other 2-5 teams at this point: T...<i>Let's look at the other 2-5 teams at this point: Tampa, San Fran, Buffalo, Cleveland, Tennessee, Houston, Oakland.
