BTSC Steelers Daily Six Pack- It's Not Over Yet Edition

I wonder if there’s any security cameras outside of that place. You’d easily see a guy pop a hood and put a glass down in the antifreeze tank. We could really use less of these types of people in the world so lets hope the police find these guys. I wouldn’t tolerate anything like that for any fan- thats just downright evil.

I was offered $200 in fake 20s for an extra ticket I was getting rid of to a scalper. They are not showing to much class up there.

But it does confirm my prejudice against Chicago. Lived there for four years — of the ten places I’ve lived around the US, it was by far the worst.

You realize this is a Steelers blog, correct? It is kind of foolish for you to expect no homerism from Steelers fans about the Steelers. I’ve got an idea for you, if you don’t like the opinions of Steelers fans supporting their team on their blog, stop reading it!

Not hardly. We are not threatened at all. That’s what you don’t seem to get. We really don’t feel threatened. We just see some problems that need fixing. Yes, you got the W twice and you were better for both of those particular games.

There’s nothing I hate worse than a sore winner. And for the record…. Yes, I do think we are the better team. Even with your two wins against us.

Not going to get into a huge argument about my post, but what exactly did I say that was bitter?

I said I was “curious” to find out what happens when the Bengals hit a patch of adversity. Nowhere did I say they are going to fall apart, but rather I am curious to see how this group of men respond when they hit some challenges, in the past the previous Bengals teams have struggled, I am wondering what will happen this year.

My thought is you clearly aren’t over this win or you wouldn’t be over here at BTSC trolling around attempting to find negative comments to whine about.

I have said since the before the season starts that the Bengals would be a team on the rise…granted they have exceeded my expectations of them, but they still have a long way to go good sir. Seven games left before the seasons over and then you have to go into the playoffs and if I’m not mistaken the Bengals under Marvin Lewis haven’t had a lot of success getting to and winning in the playoffs.

Congrats on your win, your team made the plays to win the game in both match-ups and my team didn’t. They are a physical team with lots of talent, but as was the point of my initial comment there are a lot of poor character guys still floating around the squad and they added another one yesterday, so don’t act surprised that I still have questions about the chemistry of the locker room.

You are clearly not “over the win” because if you were….. your happy ass would be on your own blog reviewing the positive and the negatives of your game this past Sunday. That’s what we’re doing. We’re not accustomed to our offense playing like 2nd rate high school kids. We don’t intend to become accepting of this from our Steelers. We beat things beyond all recognition with our team. This was not our best effort pal.

You of all people should understand why we still can’t believe in the Bengals. For years players and fans alike talked about how good they were as if they were the Patriots.

You think the Patriots got to be as good as they were (as much as it pains me to say) by talking about it? No, they went out and won SUPER BOWLS.

My point is, go and win something significant before you talk. This isn’t a shot at you; I’m just emphasizing what Marvin Lewis told you guys in training camp (“be a fu*king pro”). Until you win one, you’ll just be the mirror image of the San Diego Chargers.

After the trashing we gave you before last weeks game I can understand why it’s tempting to come here and gloat. So go ahead, but I have a good memory and can’t wait to remind you at the end of the year of a few things.

A preview:
The Steelers overall record in the Super Bowl – 6-1
The Steelers record against the Bengals 48-30
The size of the tv that jsl413 watches Bengals games 13"
The location of said TV – His mom’s basement.

Read my sig.

You were only better then us two Sundays. Not the whole year. We actually watch the Steelers, not highlights. Our team did not come to play, period. Ask anyone who actually watched those games thats not a fan of either team, you guys were not “better.” You just won.

And yes, I have admitted that sometimes the Steelers are not the better team in a victory.

God I hope we meet in January. And before you say, “Ravens said that last year.” We are not the Ravens. Were the team the Ravens have always wanted to be.

This will be evident by the time January rolls around.

Thats sad that game was one of the games of the week.

A terrible game by both teams IMO. Except defensively.

Tomlin rules.

It’s fine to argue on behalf of your team. But buy your own beer. Lose the free drink from the douche Bears fan.

Chris Henry is on IR so unless he punched Logan in street clothes he was a non-factor on that play. I believe it was Quan Cosby (no relation to Bill) that owned Logan.

It was Andre Frazier who blew it.

Logan, who does get blocked, comes from the outside and chases Scott inside. This is what Logan is supposed to do. He gets down the field first, forces the play inside, and occupies a blocker. This means fewer blockers to stop the bigger guys. On this play, Logan does not give up. He continues to push inside by trying to beat the blocker. Cosby blocks Logan too far inside for Logan to be part of the play.

Side note #1: Cosby has his back to Scott. I seriously doubt that he intended to create a lane. He merely pushed Logan in the only direction he could push. Credit goes to Scott for seeing it develop.

Side note #2: Bailey, the LB-sized guy, gets blocked into the turf. So does Fox. How is it that Logan who reverses and chases the runner the length of the field is getting “owned”, but Bailey and Fox, who finish the play on their asses, are not? I am amazed that you would defend Fox because he got “owned”, then attack Logan for the same.

I wouldn’t say this was a good play by Logan, but if your assumption is that any player who is blocked is bad, then we need a whole new team.

Back to Frazier…

Andre Frazier comes in UNBLOCKED. He moves inside even though he has a good view of the field. Frazier can see that two Steelers are coming in from the right (top) and have containment on that side. He can see that Logan is being blocked to the middle. Instead of moving into position to eliminate the cut-back, Frazier plows forward into the same space that is about to be occupied by his three of his teammates.

Scott cuts behind Frazier and runs up Frazier’s lane. (Logan’s lane was the left/bottom sideline.)

I can only guess that Frazier was hyped up to jump into the pile for a gang tackle. Good effort. Bad read on the situation. I’d lay the blame on no less than three guys: Frazier blows it for the initial wave, Fox and Reed screw up the follow up.

that was his point….he was making fun of all the people blaming the bengals loss on giving them a week off,
