Well THAT was an interesting start for the Steelers!

Not the way I would have gone lol. 😉


EDIT: Maybe they need to go back to Rudolph? 😛

Again I picked them to win today so no surprise here. 🙂

To me the single most impressive play I saw from Jackson today was sitting down inbounds on that last big run.


Next week however MAY be a different story.... if I were a Baltimore fan I would start rooting hard for the Browns tonight! (I think the Ravens can beat Pittsburgh but not KC)
I was surprised the Ravens were able to stop Henry like they did. It's not uncommon for him to get stopped at the line for 2-3 yards, but eventually he'll break a big run. I felt like they didn't have enough impact at the line to spring him. My estimation is they've been studying film and found something from Tennessee's loss to Green Bay and the games where he was contained. They've got some O-line work to do before going into next year. His long runs are sporadic, but they are like the TD run Jackson had....they just flip the pressure and rarely lead to turnovers. Holding the ball like that is just safer than throwing and those 3-5 yard runs, rather than 2-3 yard runs makes a huge difference in how the defense lines up.

I'm numb to the rest of the games now that the Titans are out of it.
 
The Steel curtain is starting to look like a shower curtain....one of those cheap thin Interstate motel ones.

I'm stunned. I've been a Steelers fan since I was old enough to know what football was...over 60 years...yes, there have been bad years, but not like this. Do great most of the season...11-0...then collapse.
 
That INT by Gustin! Haha.....fun to watch the big guys stretch out to make catches like that. Awesome job.

I feel bad for the Steelers in many ways, I mean....sort of.
 
Now they have to stop the Browns ... lets see if Conklin comes back in on the O-line. Cleveland fans have to be getting nervous!

Not a Steelers fan BUT I picked them to win! 😎
 
Switch side now? 😀



Granted, if Steelers score 2 TDs and the defense hold, then it is anything possible.


I don't pick games with my heart! 🙂 (most of the time)

And at this point while it's still POSSIBLE ... the Steelers have a steep hill to climb.
