Head Games

I think if Tomlin wants Leftwich to start, he should name him the starter after Thursday's game, BUT, have Dixon start the game in a "gimmick" package and run 3-4 plays. Then, bring in Leftwich (if he's truly Tomlin's "starter"). Of course, I don't think Arians is capable of such trickery, but I think it's just enough unpredictability to mess with the Falcons. Tomlin has a good poker face, and could get away with naming Leftwich the starter at the press conference after the game. Just a thought...

"Who is Joe Namath? This is a guy who, if he played in the league today, I'd probably just go hit him late and see what he did, just for the hell of it. Joe Namath can go to hell; he can kiss my ass." - Greg Lloyd, after NBC commentator Joe Namath accused Lloyd of playing dirty.

Oh snap!

Chris Andersen could be in a porno with his 'stache. Too bad he still wouldn't know how to box out.
Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

I bet a fun thing would be to go way back in time to where there was going to be an eclipse and tell the cave men, "If I have come to destroy you, may the sun be blotted out from the sky." Just then the eclipse would start, and they'd probably try to kill you or something, but then you could explain about the rotation of the moon and all, and everyone would get a good laugh.

CW is a TV station

He asked what C & W stood for, and I made a bad joke it seems

I love the idea

name Leftwich the starter and when Dixon comes in the game have the falcons crap their pants, they may even waste a timeout.

If they don’t call time out, run the play and see if you can get an easy TD out of dixon running

If they do call the play bring Leftwich out and I highly doubt they call another timeout, and have him throw deep to wallace on the first play, like ben did against greenbay.

Steelers football is supposed to be 60 mins, recently it's been 45. The additional 15 are currently under construction.

I think I would be happier seeing

Cleveland stains in the backs of all the starters pants for the rest of the game.

I literally wouldn’t care if we lost the game were that to happen. Just the epicness of it would follow them all season.

thats very unprofessional towards leftwich… even if he knows its going down

Redman starts at QB with Mendy, Moore and Dwyer lined up in a T behind him.

Falcons surrender. Repeat for the next three weeks, 4-0 when Ben gets back.

The Ravens try to call our bluff and don’t surrender, then lose 897-1. The one is scored by Redman for them out of mercy.

Since when does the NFL award a point for a Rouge?

by Cold_Old_Steelers_Fan on Sep 2, 2010 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions

I mean seriously, if Tomlin says Leftwich is the starter, the Falcons will have their scout team mimic Leftwich and prepare for hitting a statue all week. Then, the game starts, and Dixon is in the game. They won’t be prepared for that. Maybe they call timeout and adjust their scheme, and a few plays later, we bring Leftwich into the game.
