Greetings from Brasil
How are we gonna keep Nate? Well, I think we should give him a 3-year contract, he is the one who spreads the defense.
And dont you think for today would be good a 2-TE set and give Miller some freedom, all passes to him he did well!
How Sweed it is!
or not! Crap another penalty?

i dunno if theyre killing us
but theyre tainting whats been an otherwise DOMINANT performance by our line
Chris K
Should really work on his feet and vision, he always seems lost on pass protection, but is a beast, working on him he ould become a baby Larry Allen!
yeah
he does seem to do a bit better when he just looks forwrad and runs downhill

Alright all I have to say so far is wow
Damn good game so far.
Also, did anyone else hear Ben take control of Hines after the penalty? Beautiful!
Nate is a burner
But the best CBs can shut him down easily on long routes, but the short routes I cant trust him!
even though this drive stalled
it was still pretty impressive and it was also very helpful for field postion and TOP. 3 and out for D and we should get it back in good postion. Huge series coming up
Much better rhythmn
I like what I saw out of our guys, but there is no question that they cheated themselves out of a score on that drive. We were inside the 40 and ended up going way back. That’s not smart football.

Texans 35x Bungles 6
Hehe, Imagine if they played the Pats with Brady hehe would be like 70×0
Almost Seems...
Berger punts better when injured.
I dont know why
Jax plays so well against us! Specially Rashean Mathis, Mathis X Ben is kinda the same as Ty Lawx Manning
There we go!!!!!

despite the fouls
The OL is doing really well, specially Stapleton and Stars
is it just me
or does Moore seem like the kinda guy that just has a real durable and flexible body. never even see him get up limping
lol
well, think about it. those balls get snapped like35 mph and often times, punts dont get blocked by just a fraction of a second. anything but a perfect snap and….
by Michael Bean on Oct 26, 2008 6:44 PM EDT up reply actions
i think others here have asked the same question
which led to a great thread about the ins and outs of long snapping. turns out it takes a helluva lot of skill and its worth keeping a guy to do that full time.

uh-oh
I guess lets go for the touchdown then ( :
by SteelerBuddha on Oct 26, 2008 6:45 PM EDT up reply actions
LS is not a easy thing to do!
I play in OL and well, cant long snap at all ehhe
I Bet...
Jared Retkofsky gets re-signed this week.
No
Retkofsky was the guy we had in camp to challenge Greg.
LT
Used to play on defense before, but got bigger ehhe
big 4th down

STAPLE THE COLON!
..to the frigging bench. :(
Without "Dookie" and "Santurdio" we don't need a Colon...
Lose the defective.
Blitz
As good as the team has looked, it has not looked fluent on offense, even when playing well. Mental mistakes are killing us. We twice put ourselves out of field goal range. This game could be done
well no doubt now
this second half has been mired by penalties. wasnt the case in first half. doesnt really matter though. we’re doing enough and the D’s too good. my theme for the past couple of weeks is to just do enough on O, which it has.
by Michael Bean on Oct 26, 2008 6:52 PM EDT up reply actions
Colon
must sleep with Tomlins daughter, or maybe Tomlinson
can we sic Harrison
on the guy who came up with the “saved by zero” toyota commercial
Ya
Does anybody think Anthony Smith should be our 2nd string FS? Why dont get another FS and move him to SS and let Carter go
Gotta make that tackle

Just kidding heh
So...
Is the training team to blame for all these injuries? Honestly, NO team should EVER have as many injuries in a SEASON, let alone what we’ve had in this GAME.
just luck
Titans havent had any. We’ve had lots. No explanation at all for it
by Michael Bean on Oct 26, 2008 6:56 PM EDT up reply actions
that's not true, it's just bad luck
last year the Bills were decimated by injuries. Patriots only went 16-0 bc they were lucky on the injury front.

This year was not as
hard as last year!

Who was the gut that questioned the LS position?
Thats why we need one LONG SNAPPER!
that's game
we have no offense and D won’t be able to hold up long enough
not so fast my friend
they still only had 20 yards of offense before that last series

pressure
What is happening with Deebo? and Timmons should get there!
WHY
Do we give it to our most excitable ball of rage? no way he can control himself there. hope stapleton gets it next time
They are very well coached
but a guard playing tackle and Mckenzie wasnt suppose to handle Woodley and Harrison
Piss

Wanted
a guy with knowledge of NFL offense and defense, working at PA, job offered OC Steelers. Salary- 200k-year
only 5 seconds till 2 min warning
could use it when it could save more than 5 seconds at omse other point???
No
because you call the TO now, then they run again, 2 min warning, they run again, call another…steelers have one T.O. left and get the ball back

Implosion
Two possessions in their territory with a 5 point lead, killed by bonehead penalties (thanks, Chris K) and poor playcalling (three straight runs to the right. Thanks, Bruce.). Don’t get too discouraged by this. This game was ours, and mental errors lost it for us.
john Elway moment coming
the comparisons will start after this game for Ben!!!!
come on crappy punt!!!

safety
totally turned the momentum in this game and i really think they could have pulled this game out if that never happened
hmmmmmm
Ben looks rattled, not in sync – i really wonder what he hurt this week – his passes look sloppy

throw. the. fucking. ball.
it’s not that hard.
Hypocrisy
We yell when Ben throws quick (to Hines on that horrid 4th down play) and we yell when Ben waits for downfield throws.
Nonetheless, HORRIBLE playcalling by B.A. this 4th quarter. HORRIBLE.
Also
Not having Santonio really, really hurts. I’m sorry, but Limas doesn’t know the ins and outs yet, and Dallas Baker can only take you so far.

a fitting start to the toughest part of our schedule
this was the high water mark of the year
1st pick
outplayed the 11th pick of the 2004 draft
Does anybody think?
Santonio made a huge mistake and maybe cost our loss today?
Ben the Diva
Just got finished watching a good game by the defense but it looked to me like Ariens, Rothlisberger and Tomlin have to shoulder much of the blame for this loss.
Ben, don’t take the sack, throw it away – but not to the other team.
Bruce, who was calling the 4Q plays?
Mike, your team penalized itself out of a win!
We’ll get ’em on Monday Night, as always! Go Steelers!
by SteelerFanInBeantown on Oct 26, 2008 7:35 PM EDT reply actions
Ah Well
If we rematch later in the year (meaning the Super Bowl), I think we’ve got them. We beat ourselve with mental mistakes.
better team won today
no offense. too many penalties, too many injuries. let’s get healthy and maybe we’ll see the Giants again in January
mental mistakes
at home?
Imagine at Jersey! This OL is not a super bowl OL! I think we kinda underrated Jeff Hartings, since his retirement the OL was not the same!
this loss is attributed to our retarted QB thinking he has 10 fucking seconds to pass it and horrible coaching, you dont go for it on the 34. 51 yards isnt that long of field goal, you dont throw it 50 yards on 4th and 14, and you dont all out blitz every 3rd down when the other team is passing in the middle of the field every fucking play
hey guys
great game today. I know losing like that sucks, but you guys are a great team, and I for one will not be at all surprised to see the Steelers playing in Tampa come Feb 1. Good luck the rest of the season, hopefully we can meet again!
Ditto Sir
That was a fine game I would gladly watch again. :)

Thanks Man
Way to persevere by your guys.
indeed
I think that game definitely goes the other way if not for that drive that got about 50 yards of penalties… Enough what ifs, though – congrats to your team for a good hard-fought win!
i think its been tacky picking on arians but once again the play calling was horrible
ben played horrible. O-line played ok. D played great. RBs played well.
Big Ben
looks like Allen Iverson!
When we win , is because Ben was a warrior, and played great despite the sacks, but with a loss, he holds the ball too long,…
Well, I prefer him than all qbs not named Peyton, Tom or Drew
