Steelers C Maurkice Pouncey To Miss Another Playoff Game

I really hope Tomlin changes the way he dishes out playing time based on the way he’s screwed this up!

There was no reason to have played Big Ben and Pouncey and now the steelers will pay for that in the playoffs. Tomlin needs to be a coach and sit Ben the last couple weeks looking to go deep into the playoffs. They will struggle to beat the Broncos sunday and then get embarassed against the Cheetriots or Raisins. Good run this year, but the injuries and the way it has played out will cost the team in the playoffs.

is the loss of Spencer Larson? I’ve heard he’s a lead blocker on a lot of Tebow’s option runs and good special teamer.

with all of your comments!

they should have been rested with the bigger prize in mind. . .hopefully MT will learn from this experieince!

And thanks to Tomlin that didnt happen. Tomlin just said in a news conference he isnt letting Ryan Clark play becuase he isnt going to risk someones health and further injury. No doubt that sickle cell is serious and its complicated, but Clark and his doctors supposibly had a game plan for the game. I agree with not letting Clark play, but I also agree to Tomlins point of not risking further injury, SO Dont let Ben Play or Pouncey, Hence, further injury which has happened.

he’s missed 2 of 4 postseason games in a two year career so far. . .can it be changed??? I hope so but for right now, I’d say you fears are valid!

The Steelers can lose everyone except Redman and still be guaranteed victory, because it’s REDMAN.

Also, the Chiefs had the #1 rushing offense in the league, home field advantage, and a sense of destiny when they hosted the Ravens last year. I live near KC, and nobody mentions that game, not even the critics. Nobody wants to remember that kind of humiliation.

Last year’s Chiefs were a better team than this year’s Broncos. Charles was a homerun threat at runningback and Matt Cassell was effective and efficient. A stingy defense led by a good aggressive secondary and scary pass rush from Tamba Hali completed the picture. They were utterly dominated by a Ravens team that was in turn dominated by the Steelers after the Steelers had spotted them a couple TD’s.

The Broncos have a good veteran RB and a gimmicky option thing that took the league a while to figure out. They have a good solid defense with veteran DB’s (one of whom will be out Sunday) and good pass rush from Dumervil and Miller. Their QB has literally gone an entire half without completing a pass, and has a QB rating of 52.0 over his last 4 games.

I’m just trying to cope with the fact that the AFC is not very daunting this year and we will probably end our bid next week b/c we are just to banged up. . .plain and simple!
