Pardon my absence this last week. Been in Wichita, Kansas at my girlfriend's family's house. Frankly, there's not been much on my mind other than disappointment with this Steelers team. But there's still three games left and the Steelers have actually gotten some of the help they'd need to sneak in to the playoffs if they were to win out. But thats certainly no guarantee considering how they've looked during their five game losing streak. Something tells me they'll play well today. We'll see. I sure hope so!
Go Steelers!

I really have no idea what to expect today.
Will Arians come out and fight for his job with a robust new offensive playbook? Will the Defense play like men possessed for a WHOLE 60 minutes? Will we give up a return on ST? Will Green Bay eat us alive on quick slant throws?
I want to hope, and I love this team. But I have been so beaten up when I get my expectations up this year, I’m hesitant to. I KNOW we can win. Hell we SHOULD have gone 15-1 or 14-2 this year with the talent on this team and the schedule we had.
I guess I can take three more weeks of abuse. Green Bay is in for a frickin’ hurting today. After everything these guys have gone through with the media, fans, the world, these past few weeks, I think they really want to shut everyone up. Their pride is beyond damaged. I have a feeling they will play like an injured Wolverine from start to finish and let the league know that if they dont need to look out for them in the playoffs this year, then at least know this year was a fluke and next year we’ll be back.

TV Coverage
Anybody here from N.E. PA? I’m trying to determine whether or not the snow storm and subsequent rescheduling on the Eagles game is going to mean that I have to find somebody with the NFL Ticket so that I can watch the game. We were supposed to be on FOX for the late game, and the Eagles were supposed to be on for the early one, but now they’re also playing late, and I’m thinking that they will be the game televised in my area. I hate the NFC. They should let ABC carry all of the inter-conference games.

Gotta bring the heat today – punch them in the dicks! Funny to see that the team has tanked you just don’t see the comments.. .hmmm…. i like it better this way

Carter
If Ryan Mundy is not better than Tyrone “missed tackle” Carter he should be cut
i really think we should play Sweed at safety
he can run, hit hard (from the few instances weve seen), and he cant catch…………..thats a safety
well, i mean anytime.
not necessarily today. Surely he couldn’t be any worse at coverage than our guys

It is close
They both have gone to great lengths to pick good roles. Washington has been more adventurous in picking roles so I give him the nod
Roy Horton is toast
We WILL draft minimum 2 DB’s this year.
Lebeau
If he is such a genious why not bench carter and suit up? Cant be much worse

but dosent make the tackle

what I'd love to see.
dink and dunk to open games, mixed in with runs at 50% rate.
bring in the mid-deep play as the defense gives space.
Go deep when the chance is there.
Mix in at least 2 crazy gadgets a game.
Between wallace and holmes, you have plenty of speed to get yards after the catch……alas, this is not BA or BB’s style.
Gotta think we'd have some good choices for OC
With all the talent at the skill positions they’d have at their disposal
Holmes!

Holmes
When he catches the ball, DAMN does he catch the ball
Some diehard fan support goin' on here huh?
Way to believe, kids…
We have THE most spoiled fans in the NFL.
Arians must now figure
how to run off the remaining time on the clock and kick the FG

someone was saying what about Mewelde?
by BlackandGoldSSgt on Dec 20, 2009 5:48 PM EST reply actions
That we'd like to see more Mendenhall on 3rd downs
Since Moore has not been playing well. Which is true.
by syrsteelerfan on Dec 20, 2009 5:49 PM EST up reply actions
They all have been playing poorly..with a few exceptions
Mewelde is a good 3rd down back

haha
agree
still was a nice play call – smart….
by SteelerBuddha on Dec 20, 2009 5:50 PM EST up reply actions
seriously, I'm not a hater
just like to laugh
OK now, let's see if we can make it into the half
with a lead.

Drug policy
Players get caught with pot fairly often, but it never shows up on the drug tests. I don’t care if they weed in the off-season (as long as it is in a state where they can get a prescription), but how effective is drug-testing in the NFL?
Did Reed hurt his leg last night kicking in toilet paper dispensers?
he isnt even making the twenty now
Arhg
Stream was just killed! Anyone got one that works?
Please stop unleashing hell, coach, I can't take it anymore!!!

ridiculous

A creative pass play
That was a creatively-designed play.
But arians’ issue isn’t creativity in the passing game. It’s that there is no creativity in the running game.
And that, combined with poor o-line talent, leads us to being one dimensional.
Mix in odd play-calling in key situations and playcalling that doesn’t fit the D (zone breakers in Cleveland) and I’m still down with Arians being fired.
We just saw one of the very, very rare plays that show why BA was able to get and hold a job in the NFL as long as he has.
think they'll give Mason Crosby another chance?:)

don't know if he can make it from the 1
let alone 40

yes!!
Most of the big plays have been missed tackles, something we never used to see. What’s the issue? Troy? Lack of speed? Poor positioning?
by 57_Varieties on Dec 20, 2009 5:58 PM EST up reply actions
Um
the issue is that we have a bunch of guys in our secondary who don’t know how to make tackles.

you mentioned
BA admitting that he didn’t coach up Ben, got a link?

One
of the announcers (not sure who) said he interviewed him, and asked if he mentioned something to Ben about all the sacks. He said that he once nearly ruined a QB at Mississippi state by trying to coach him. This is odd for a couple reasons. One, he was a WR and RB coach at Mississippi state. Two I had no idea he actually every tried to coach.
by SteelerBuddha on Dec 20, 2009 5:59 PM EST up reply actions
But minus the wisarce
comments, it sounds like BA straight up bragged about not trying to coach ben to take less sacks, a week after he took 8.
Bravo

Wow,
big mistake by a man whose job is in jeopardy.

Damn, can we pull a win?
5 game win streak against a 5 game lose streak…
How many Baltimore Ravens does it take to win a Super Bowl? Nobody knows and we may never find out
New plan
I like Tomlin, but I think we need to hire a Chin look a like. He makes no decisions, but every time somebody (Gay, Carter, etc.) makes a bone head play, the guy just runs out on to the field, get’s two inches away from their face and starts yelling and spraying buckets of spittle in their faces. My prediction? You’ll see less missed tackles.
That's right
I mean we could even get somebody credible. Maybe Lambert or Mean Joe Greene. But, heck, I’d settle for Mr. T. if he was willing to spit a lot.
