Tennessee Titans @ Pittsburgh Steelers: 2nd Half Open Thread
by Michael Bean on Sep 10, 2009 10:10 PM EDT
Email
PrintWell, if nothing else, I think it's safe to say that the 2009 season is going to be much like the 2008 season. Inconsistent offense, timely defense, solid special teams and loads of frustration for those fans looking for perfection out of the Black 'N Gold. It's 7-7 heading in to the 2nd half. The Titans will get the ball first and all eyes will be on whether or not Troy Polamalu and LaMarr Woodley return to action after being dinged up in the 1st half. Polamalu went to the locker room early after having his knee tweaked when Alge Crumpler fell on it. Woodley apparently is dealing with cramps.
Come on Steelers! Dig out a tough victory in what could be the team's toughest opponent all year.
Go Steelers!

This is Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu getting knocked around by the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii yesterday...
Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.

I am freaking out
They looked woefully unprepared in the 1st half. I just want to hear that Troy will be okay.
agree
Woodley with cramps?? Usually a hydration and fitness issue
Lets see how Tyrone Carter does
Troy out for rest of game
Is there a Doctor who is a member here?
Other Forums say it looks like a sprain

Would you guys take the following proposition,
Titans make that FG. – Troy doesn’t get hurt.
I would rather give them the 3 and have him in the game- no doubt

MD checking in here
I am an eye surgeon, of course went to medical school
I am not an orthapedist, however, this injury to 43 could easily be an MCL, meniscus injury, and unfortunately, even an ACL injury. Please realize that just because you can walk up a flight of steps, doesn’t mean you do not have ligament damage. Easily could be a torn ACL

how is the 3rd and short on arians?
i’m no fan of the guy, but the line actually blocks there and we’re all praising him.
fault is with the people on the line, not the scheme, not the playcalling, not the RBs.
I agree the problem is that the OL lacks talent- The real blame is on the management for
not bringing in some better OL players

Ben – Gutsy as hell (if sometimes a bit too much)
ST – winning field position in a close game

The only time we moved the ball
all game was in the no huddle before the half. Why wait? Let’s go back to it next possession.
Berger
We would be losing 40 – 0 if we had Berger instead of Sepulvda. Trying to look on the bright side.
Erik
ITS Going to have to be a big play on Def or Special TEams to win this one
Tenn, D is too good and our OL too bad for us to sustain some long drives
what is
our identity? haha i’m so tired of hearing that cliche phrase…just because its cold and rainy and windy and we have running the ball in our historical blood, why keep running the ball? we are not built for it.

couldn't disagree more
proof is in the pudding. look at the goalline drills in camp. redman just doesn’t give up. he may not have all the fundamentals like he should (he runs too tall, etc), but he churns. he would be helping us here.

Well, the Titans have had some chances as well
A classic period.

pass protection
i’m realizing this.
arians likes to pass, arians finds OL who can pass protect but not run block. Then says, hey, we can’t run block, gotta pass some more.
but they’re really not bad at pass pro

Don't worry
Collinsworth is blaming him enough for everyone.
“If he would have just taken a knee.” Who the hell would take a knee in that situation? It was just a good strip and a bad break for us.

YES
Steelers - Immaculate Reception. Penguins - Immaculate Rejection. Pirates......Immaculate Resurrection???
Could this game end in a tie?
With the way both defenses play who knows
That was a head's up play
To chop the ball out of his hand
This is how we are going to defend our title, thats OK, some luck.
O sales tickets,...and let D rest a little, and D Win Championships.
Ward's body language doesn't look good
We need him to snap out of it and get us down there
OR
Logan take it back the whole way….
not kidding
thinking about getting a tattoo of the Steeler logo on my upper arm – might be a midlife crisis thing, because I’ve never desired one in my life before
great game!
both teams playing well. big ben hit his last 11 passes. time for some more magic. both teams are playof bound I think.

We could have a rough go of it though if we can’t get the run game together.

yea true
but this is just like last year. we’re not going to light up good run defenses but we shold be able to fare better against weaker deenses. what we saw is we’re still top notch on D and still haave an upper echelon QB. ill take that

Let MM carry a couple more and just thread them

Just hope Reed
Has those knuckle ball kicks out of his system
Holmes is gonna score in OT
He’s having a great game – actually I think Santonio Holmes just passed Sherlock Holmes to become the 2nd greatest “Holmes” of all-time. He still has a LONG way to go to catch Johnny for the top spot…

i really want an explanation on where sweed was
This is Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu getting knocked around by the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii yesterday...
Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.
bigtime
hines near the century mark. holmes already cleared it.

FWP and Mendy hurt?
Or is Moore just in bc he’s good in pass pro and a threat out of backfield?
maybe. mendenhall, whatever else you say, has good hands
and a bit more threat between the tackles than moore

What a nailbiter!
I had to work at the theater tonight, so I was monitoring the game via web and cell phone. BUT I got home in time to grab my Terrible Towel and view the end of the 4th quarter and OT victory on the television. I’m worn out.
