On to our weekly red zone update post. Many thanks to Comcast for sponsoring BTSC and the other SBNfootball blogs this season. Their Red Zone Channel continues to received rave reviews so if you find yourself frustrated watching out of market games and are missing more football than you should each week, check out the channel and consider at least catching each and every play league wide inside the 20 yard line.
Week 14 Red Zone Efficiency:
1 trip, 0 TDs, 1 FG
2009 Cumulative Red Zone Efficiency:
42 Trips; 20 TDs; 16 FGs; 1 missed FG, 5 turnovers...47.6 % TD efficiency (-1.2%), 85.7 % scoring efficiency (+.4 %)
What's of course sad is the Steelers weren't able to breach the Browns red zone on more than one lone occasion. It certainly was not the best of conditions to execute in, and in the end, Cleveland was able to make just a few more plays than Pittsburgh in all three phases of the game. The lone bright spot I suppose is that on the Steelers single RZ possession, they were forced to kick the field goal due to time running out at the end of the half. They looked pretty good in that series and I think they would have punched it in had there been a few more ticks on the clock. But that's neither here nor there. The Steelers need to get inside teams' red zone more frequently before they need to start worrying about how they perform once there.

Throwback games
In the old days (before the first SB), the Steelers used to beat the crap out of teams during the second half of the season, but would invariably lose the games. I think the best statement we can make at this point is that you don’t want to play the Steelers late in the season—that is if you have any remaining playoff hopes. And, hopefully, we’ll win the games to boot.
Cause they are still in the hunt
They show all teams not mathematically eliminated.
The Hell that Tomlin & the Steelers have unleashed on me this December is indescribable.

Mathematically no.
But mentally, I think were done for the year.
Just beat the Ravens and bring them with us. Misery LOVES company.

Yeah, unbelievable how we can still be in it the way we've been playing lately
I love being the most-hated guy here. I love beating them while [their fans] are flicking me off. --Hines Ward
it's unbelievable
but in the same breath, when you look at the other teams in the hunt, and how they have been playing, there is not enough playoff caliber teams this year.
