I don't know why Fisher insists on running White on the short gainers. I've seen that *fudge*er get stopped for no gain or TFLed so many times.

The Stillers have been able to pull some amazing *feces* out their asses the last couple weeks. I was talking more about the season. They can't beat Tenn today, they certainly won't beat them in the AFC title game in 4 weeks when Haynesworth comes back. The loss today ended their season. |

Well if the Steelers manage to beat the Colts, they get a rematch in Nashville, and will get pounded even worse. The stomping LenWhale put on the towel at the end is about what Haynesworth will do to BigBen. Only hope was to get the game at Heinz Field where Kerry Collins might have lost it. Oh well. Blow this team up and start over, starting at the top. |

Dude, you crack me up. seriously, if they dont win it this year, their window is closed. the OL sucks to begin with, and they are going to lose 3 members of it (in theory) to Free Agency (although i don't know why anybody would want them... never underestimate the FA marker). Hines Ward will retire after next season, Farrior + Foote are declining, Aaron Smith+Hampton will retire in 1-2 years if they keep getting hurt... etc. |

The Steelers have a long history of drafting well, signing low-profile free agents who fit their system, and (in all cases) developing talent that others don't see. They'll be fine.
I really think everything stems from the offensive line problems. (With no objective evidence), I don't think Ben holds the ball too long -- I think he gets harried sooner than he normally has been, and sooner than the average QB does. Ben needs another second without pressure, especially from the blind side. But trying to provide it by keeping a potential receiver back to block just strengthens the coverage and makes him stand there longer. Teams seem to be playing for the run more, knowing that they can pressure Ben without having to blitz (and leave uncovered guys running routes).

IIRC. They have had a damned respectable year. They are far from needing to blow it up, just tune up a couple areas.  |

I predicted they'd go 11-5 when I went through their season game by game. When I got done and saw "11-5", though, I didn't believe it would happen.

Always go with your first instinct. I just didn't think they had the offense, especially with the OL, to be an 11 or 12 win team. I'm on pace for my prediction of 9-7 for the Vikes as well. |

the problem is aside from woodley (and now, finally timmons) everyone drafted the last 2 years has been a total bust. |

btw, for what it's worth , FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS DVOA analysis of the OL says they are playing essentially the same as last year... no real drop off. the falloff in OFF performance is all on bens injuries (mid year) and , mainly, the insanely predictable and bad playcalling by Tardrians, who Omar refuses to fire.
