A lot.<br /><br />And it is nice of the Browns to get Brady and Brees good and pissed off right before we have to play them.

We seem to be he'll bent on letting teams back in games.<br /><br />The secondary is a very week link. Basically throw wherever Gay is and you got yourself a reception and some YAC.<br /><br />Where has Troy been? It seems they do not use him to blitz since the Ravens game. I guess they feel more comfortable with both him and Clark back deep.<br /><br />Skippy is not an automatic 3 any more and the sooner "the brain trust" realizes that they may actually start trying to move the ball. Those six runs in a row seemed surprisingly effective.<br /><br />What does it say about Larry Zeirlein and last year's line when the patchwork line up they had on the field last nite was better than any line up they put on the field last night. They were not great but they were better than last year by along shot.okel dokelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034193951055275779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-72211133296325595982010-11-09T12:51:03.083-05:002010-11-09T12:51:03.083-05:00And also... i'd vote for the sad trombone to b...And also... i'd vote for the sad trombone to be Marvin Lewis using his timeouts when we were in victory formation at the end of the game.

Or is that cancelled out by Skippy's missed FG?<br /><br />3. is it just me? or is Skippy turning into Janikowski? I mean as far as the heft and probability of drinking before the games.<br /><br />5. Wow, maybe i had on the beer goggles too... couldn't believe that .500 record for Palmer.<br /><br />7. That makes redman 0-for-what? converting 1-2 yd situations. I say we start using Big Snack on some Fridge duty!<br /><br />9. Has there been a ball thrown to Wallace YET this year that he hasn't had to wait on? I can't even imagine how much more dangerous he'll be if Ben figures out the timing of throwing him deeeeep balls!!<br /><br />12/13. Cleveland thumps defending super bowl champion Saints... next week - Steelers lose to Saints. Cleveland thumps AFC favorite Patriots... next week Steelers vs Pats. Could the Browns be hurting the Steelers by pissing off our tough opponents right before we play them?<br /><br />14. Hahaha, not to mention, he changed shoes at halftime (...perhaps into something less faaab-u-lous?). Chad Eight Five should be traded to the Cowboys because, man, did he quit on his team last night.<br /><br />Another point not brought up in the post: How are you gonna match William Gay up on T.O. straight up with no help on T.O.s first TD?!?!?! I HATE T.O. but if i'm a QB, i'm exploiting that matchup EVERY single time!<br /><br />Oh yeah, and did anyone else notice that when we FINALLY get holding called on J. Harrison... it wasn't really a hold?HomeRunFromBehindTheMeatballshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153804542539188315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-37625143663725828362010-11-09T12:25:40.403-05:002010-11-09T12:25:40.403-05:00"Fire Tomlin"...lol...that's rich. ..."Fire Tomlin"...lol...that's rich. Are you kidding me? Pittsburgh has the best record in football, played the first 4 games of the season WITHOUT their starting QB, and you want to fire the head coach?!? You do realize that it took a 1-7 start in Dallas to get rid of the horrendously incompetent Wade Phillips? What more do you want from Mike Tomlin? Would 8-0 be good enough for you?Someone Somewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925623709780529874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-43193485022723881082010-11-09T12:21:43.184-05:002010-11-09T12:21:43.184-05:00They were throwing three times in a row because Br...They were throwing three times in a row because Bruce Arians is smarter than every other offensive coordinator in the league...combined! See also: his desire to not employ a real fullback, yet often dials up plays that utilize tight ends and tailbacks in that position. You just don't understand a tortured genius when you see one. Unfortunately for Steeler fan, we were diverted from his 4th quarter play calling brilliance vis a vis an untimely interception thrown by one, Ben Roethlisberger. Prior to that drive, I'm thinking the conversation on the sideline went something like this: "Alright guys, we're up by 13...plenty of time left to really air it out and put this thing away!" I'm disappointed by the apparent mandate from head coach Mike Tomlin on the last drive, handcuffing the great Bruce Arians by forcing him to call 6 straight running plays even though there were over 5 minutes remaining in the game. Mike, don't you realize that BA had that last drive scripted with at least one pass play designed that would surely beat the all-out blitz with each receiver running 15+ yard routes?!? Hey Coach Tomlin, how about you stick to defense and let the offensive genius work his magic.Someone Somewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12925623709780529874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-6645889669672148082010-11-09T11:57:53.665-05:002010-11-09T11:57:53.665-05:00In a game Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, head compare...In a game Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, head compared to "a horror film," Pittsburgh was a few meters from blowing a lead in the fourth quarter of 20 points in Cincinnati.<br /><a href="http://apusa.us/steelers-bengals-6358/" rel="nofollow"><b>Steelers Bengals</b></a> http://apusa.us/steelers-bengals-6358/Zahra Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457600955730337021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-15481111814724844692010-11-09T11:02:07.650-05:002010-11-09T11:02:07.650-05:00Gay cannot cover.

I thought the defense p...Gay cannot cover. Period.<br /><br />I thought the defense played well, looking at the 14 points and late second half drive, the first TD was the definition of worthless prevent defense and Palmer padding his stats. The second TD was a gift from the men in stripes and there are no two ways about that one. The final drive, after Reed shanked the FG, we sacked Palmer and forced a fumble. Then hit him again on 3rd and 14 and the Bengals got an incredibly lucky bounce that lead to that conversion. Another terrible PI call on a throw away and they get thioer 4th first down of the quarter via penalty. <br /><br />The pass rush was getting to Palmer and hitting him a majority of the time he dropped back. <br /><br />I don't understand why we were throwing 3 times in a row leading up to Ben's terrible INT that I thought Heath could have batted away.BurressWithButterflywingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466557816631165674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-79519738220062552402010-11-09T10:57:15.801-05:002010-11-09T10:57:15.801-05:00Is there anything scarier than watching Gay try to...Is there anything scarier than watching Gay try to make a solo tackle on a receiver after catching a quick out pass? I felt the whiff of him coming up empty sitting on my couch. I'm fine with him on special teams but as a starter Gay is awful and McFadden isn't really much better. Troy had another less than spectacular game as a pass defender again although he was solid against the run. Even Taylor, who seems to be the only CB worth anything is good for at least one huge game changing interference call a game. <br /><br />This team has become maddingly (sp.) consistent in finding ways to let other teams back into games, whether it’s turnovers, penalties, not being able to run the ball to take time off the clock, or the always generous secondary handing out welfare checks, it’s just becoming automatic anymore they’ll crap the bed in some form or fashion. If they would have blown this game I’d be firmly in the “Fire Tomlin” camp right now and I’m still not sure what side I fall on. I’d almost rather see them go into the 4th quarter down by a score than up by 2 scores anymore.<br /><br />Yup, a win’s a win but it doesn’t really make me feel any better about this team or their chances to do much if they make the playoffs, not playing like this it doesn’t. I was more hopeful and satisfied with their level of play when they were 3-1 and without Ben than I am now.<br /><br />Can someone explain to me why I should be pissed off last night going to bed after a Steelers win?Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645147302738910500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-17811794901753325352010-11-09T10:28:57.123-05:002010-11-09T10:28:57.123-05:00If it were any other organization but the Bengals,...If it were any other organization but the Bengals, Ocho would have been released by now.
