Where are they playing? Saw them play at the Dogpound when I was in PA. Damn scary place for a Steelers fan. Cars with Steelers stickers had flat tires and busted windows when we left.

I see he's on the field - Wasn't Rothlisberger (sp) BACK last week? Where is he this week?

Rothlisberger had surgery on his knee monday morning after the ravens game. He did not play or even make the trip to green bay. He is not scheduled to return until the colts game. However with batch breaking his hand, ben may try to play next week.

forget maddox... just put randel el in until roth is better.

Other than that first drive it was a pretty bad thrashing. The Steelers can't afford to give up an easy TD like the botched field goal to a good team - they did the exact same thing in 2001 against the Patriots, the 10 points swing was enough to give the Patriots the win and they went on to win the Super Bowl. That was a pretty scarey looking Steelers team, the way the physically dominated, even without Ben, and later Batch. That way Bryant caught that pass and was absolutely drilled - his body just sort of crumpled backwords and the ball popped free...Dilfer was hit equally as hard on that same play...and the 10 yard run on 4th and goal by Haynes...the hit by Polamalu that sent Dilfer's pass flying allowing Porter to intercept - all were plays that just really showed the Steelers imposing their will by being more physical. Its true that the Browns dropped several passes they shouldn't have, but who's to say they didn't drop them because they were thinking about the oncoming hit? And then there were all the dropped INTs that the Steelers could have had, especially Polamalu's that instead turned into one of the Brown's biggest plays (albeit too little too late).

Props to the Browns though, they never gave up, made the score look respectable.
