Pittsburgh Steelers (8-7) @ Miami Dolphins (7-8) - BTSC Week 17 Open Thread (1st Half)
by Michael Bean on Jan 3, 2010 4:51 AM EST
Email
PrintHere we are - Week 17 of the 2009 NFL season. Seems like just recently that the football year kicked off, but no, come the end of Sunday, the 2009 season very well may be in the books for the six time Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Maybe not - they could sneak in to the backdoor of the playoffs with the right amount of help around the league. But it all of course begins with a Steelers victory over the Miami Dolphins in south Florida Sunday afternoon. Join me and other Steelers fans for perhaps the last time this season on BTSC to cheer on the team as the game unfolds.
Enjoy the game friends, as well as what I presume is the final day of vacation for many of you before returning to work or school on Monday. Be blessed.
Go Steelers!

Good morning nation
I’ve already run into five steeler fans this morning at the hotel…1 fin fan. I like this ratio to start my day. We’re headed over to the stadium a bit early, so I just wanted to say hey quick. Go Steelers! If I am still able to talk by 4 o’clock, then I haven’t done my job today. A huge part of me believes that this miracle of a day will occur, never give up.
Steelers: 31 Dolphins: 0

Get it done in the sun
I think it’s safe to say that today’s game with be nothing like the sloppy, wonderful 3-0 MNF win @ Heinz Field a couple of years back. We’ll do our part today in Miami . . . and I’m looking at an upset in Oakland. Something else I never thought I’d say is – gulp – go Bengals?
Go Steelers!!
Just got home from work here on the West coast
I’m dead tired. Gonna try and get a few hours of shuteye before kickoff. I’m setting my DVR just in case though. I won’t be on the open thread but, Go Steelers! Let’s whip some ass and show Collin Cowherd that he’s wrong about our beloved Steelers. The Dolphins are fried fish today!
Bring a towel to the game. Black or gold or yellow. If you don't have one buy one, If you can't buy one, dye one!

I think we burned up all our bad karma
during that 5 game losing streak. Seriously, the frickin’ BROWNS??? ‘Kay, I’m done with that. Here we go Raiders, Cheat-riots and Bungholes!!! We got it today! I feel it!

Well well well....
Here we are. Hoping the Men of Steel win and 2 of the other 3 teams lose.
Seems like the broncos are going through injuries and suspensions.
Looks like Tom Brady is playing…..that will be good!
Ravens vs Raiders? Hmmm…I dunno….Ravens probably win that one.
Gonna be tight!
Hold on to your hats!! GO STEELERS!!!
Think positive Nation!
Let’s go people, no one wants the season to end today. Think positive thoughts and take care of our own business in Miami. We will live to play next week! Let’s will this thing to happen.

Let's go Steelers
Let’s win today. If we get in the playoffs then it will be great. If not, then at least we would have seen the last of Bruce Arians. So, something to cheer about.

Big Ben
Ben is the best QB to ever don a steeler uniform. Including the hairless wonder. What he needs is an offensive line that can give him some pass protection. Still an outside chance for the playoffs but don’t count on it.
Inactives for the Taperiots
Maroney, Faulk, Vilfork and Warren.
These are huge names.
"We are only going to score 17 points?"
Just reported on CBS that Tom Brady has 3 broken ribs.
I’m betting he gets the hook early in this game, provided he’s not a scratch all together.
Go New England and Go Oakland
Those two win and we are in. If NE loses to Houston we pretty much need everyone else to lose and I don’t see Cincy playing their starters long enough to beat the Jets.

I don't know that Raiders can't win.
The only team in the AFC North they didn’t beat this season was ironically the Browns. Raiders players know they will have a new coach next year so they are playing for their next jobs.

I wonder how far a QB actually threw a ball in a game….from throw to catch….70 yards???

Russell and Flacco can throw absolute bombs

Flacco has been said to be able to launch it 80 yards. In a college challenge, he hit 78 yards. I think Russel has the stronger arm though. Cutler is up there to.

the rules favor the recievers today . . . how do you beat manning/brady/ben?? . . . get to them before they can throw . . . the best cornerbacks can’t chase recxievers around all day . . .
Our defense is set up for LBs to get sacks
Not generally the linemen. Also, good pass rushes are dependent on good CB coverage. If WRs are wide open, the QB doesnt have to hold onto it long enough for a rush to get there. It is not as simple as just getting great DL.

It's not just Arians
Firing Arians is step one.
Step two is drafting some interior o-line.
Step three is finding a fullback — either developing David Johnson, or Summers, or drafting.
Step four is spending camp actually PRACTICING running so that it’s what we’re good at.

Years of bad play calling
Would not be forgotten by one brilliant play if it had worked, so he would still be terrible.
it is easier to just blame Arians for every offensive mistake
because he plays on the field too!
/reality
My point simply is nobody holds Holmes accountable for throwing that.
BA shouldn’t call that stuff, but he’s not the #1 reason the offense struggles.
holmes is not paid to throw the ball
hes paid to catch it.
because holmes is not a QB nor was one in college

Will they change it?
That I don’t know.
If you buy a foreign made product you give money to a person who will not be buying an American made produdt that you get paid to make. Think about it next time you're at the store.

Arians must be playing defense too
cuz it sucks too
Bruce Arians has personally destroyed the Steelers season!
Let’s burn him at the stake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do get where you're coming from
Arians didn’t cause 4th quarter breakdowns by the D, or a porous secondary.
But his finesse O contributes, through practice after practice, to this being a finesse football team on both sides of the ball. This offensive philosophy has diseased the whole unit.
We’re trying to win without being physical in a division where winning equals playing physical.

I was being facetious about the comment above
Personally, i think BA has done a pretty good job.
I don’t see them trying tio win without physicality at all; the NFL is a passing league now. Three yards and a cloud of dust won’t cut it for championship football. Neither of our recent SBs were won by running the ball- the pass game made the difference, along with sound defence.
Overall, the game is far too complex to blame any one person for failure….
*check you irony detector, huh?
its Still said that polamalu leads the defense with 3 int
He has not played 95 percent of the games.

With Arians running the offense
We have enough time to get in position and let Santonio Holmes kick a gadget fieldgoal
TE and a RB
Not!!

2-1 on woodley and doesnt stop Him
O sales tickets,...and let D rest a little, and D Win Championships.
I think Wood is a little miffed at missing the Pro Bowl

Yeah I have Supercast for my Iphone
It only works for about 5 minutes a game. It’s Terrible. On the computer is ok, but I can’t access it at work.

Sad
Steelers teams of a few years ago could win in those conditions.
Anyone have faith this team could?

Steelers fan 1st! UK is my 2nd love.

Big Baby Ben
First of all, the Steelers better find a shutdown corner. Then they need a new special teams coach. They will be fine next year.
Please stop asking about Ben’s arm “injury”. I guarantee its fine. But if you ask Baby Ben, I am sure he will say he has two compound fractures and torn ligaments. I almost puked when the announcers kept saying how tough he was for playing thru it. They just dont know what a crybaby he is. (ie. the way he was holding it like he couldnt even move it, but yet no trainer or medical personel even seemed worried about it…… strange, uh???) Maybe it was like his “broken” toes. They felt like they were broken but just couldnt be seen on xray.
