hahaha! yeah, Pittsburgh's Monday Night Football record is un-real. I can't remember the last time they lost a MNF game. I think it was like 4 years ago at Jacksonville

there is no doubt the Steelers bring it on primetime, which is why I am so damn happy they finally have a nationally televised TV game

also, yes, it seems like the NFC never has a chance against the black and gold

two of their starting CBs and probably no Reggie Bush?

man, this could get ugly
 
i hate to be all like....you know...logical and shit, but the saints v steelers will be at the superdome

which is built on top of a NOLA graveyard (meaning there are MILLIONS of people in it, not just hundreds or thousands)

and it's at night

on halloween

don't look at me when something crazy happens, that's all i'm sayin'
 
Miami Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall on that controversial Steelers fumble:

''Honestly, to tell you the truth, I'm disgusted that so many people in our organization and our team really harped on that as much as we did,' Marshall said. 'After the game I didn't talk to the media just because of that, because that was gonna come up. And for me to spend 10-15 minutes after the game talking about that fumble like it was the reason why we lost is something, I couldn't do and I just took myself out of that position. And I was disappointed that most guys wasted their time talking about that one play, like that was the reason we lost.'

''We had so many opportunities to put this team away,' Marshall added. 'We got gifts. It was Christmas for us. We got two turnovers in their Green Zone. All we had to do is punch it in, and we failed to do that. The game came down to many more plays than just that one play.'

I like his attitude. they did get a bunch of gifts near their own red zone, but only cashed in on FGs. that isn't going to win you an NFL football game

and the Saints are still a very good team. I just think that they will need more voodoo than usual to pull this one off Sunday night
 
So will Favre start and hand off a couple of times to AP, before heading to the sidelines, just to keep his streak alive?

Cant wait to see DMC later, with no Murphy or maybe even Miller, look for Oakland to run the ball about 60 times today. and the way they ran last week, that might be bad news for Seattle.

Glad to see DMC is finally developing into that elite back that people thought he was when he declared for the draft.

Dallas headed for 1-6 , has Jerry Jones finally taken his toll on this team ala Al Davis.
 
looks like Brett is moving around a little bit and actually making some good passes

I don't know why the Vikes have him running some bootlegs. a QB with two fractures in his foot shouldn't be running around that much

The running joke on sports radio now is Sparano's fist-pumping celebration of every field goal like he just won the Superbowl.

That and the fact that Dolphin Stadium has become unbelievably gay. If the antithesis of football isn't Enrique Iglesias, I don't know what is.
 
Miami is a weird city. one of my favorites, because I love Cuban sanniches and latinas. but it's hilarious to see a gangsta slangin' out in front of a pink pastel themed shopping strip in his boy's Miami-Vice-colored-light-blue 85 Monte Carlo SS

literally am shaking in excitement to see the Steelers VS Saints tonight. I have to watch the premiere of the Walking Dead (post-apocalyptic zombie/sociology lesson type show) on AMC, so I am kind of torn between what should retain my interests. probably football, who am I kidding?"

I dont blame Health. That game should have never been that close to begin with.

Conservative play calling kept the browns in the game against the steelers until the 4rth quarter.

Conservative play calling until the 4rth quarter almost cost the steelers the game against Miami.

Conservative play calling caused the steelers to lose against the Saints.

The last 3 games have looked exactly the same for the steelers. Conservative playcalling and not scoring in the first half due to continually getting stuffed trying to run the ball. Then driving down the field at will in the 4rht quarter to score in desperation mode.

They finally played a team that was too good to beat that way.
 
it took OC Bruce Arians until the 4th quarter to realize that their blitzes were disrupting our long-winded WR routes downfield?! Arians finally realized that we need shorter routes, but it was too late. the Saints didn't have much talent on the field and were giving up chunks of yardage on the run left and right. the Saints prepared brilliantly (specially on defense), and the Steelers did not prepare at all on offense. another loss to coaching

the Steelers could have easily won by 20, but instead lost by 10 :(

Or another win by coaching.

I thought Sean Payton drew up a brilliant plan to make up for our porous running game. It was the short passing game dinking and dunking 4 or 5 yrds a piece and Brees executed it perfectly (he was 20 of 22 in the second half). This set up a few big gainers later in the passing game.

The Steeler D did a phenomenal job in the open field tackling. I dont think I recall a single missed tackle. They made the Saints earn every single yard...

But it was the Saints D that showed up from last year playing the bend but dont break style and make big plays. That goal line stand after 1st and goal on the 6 inch line really set the tone for the rest of the game. Greg Williams really turned up the heat in blitzing knowing that Rothlisberger is only one or two games back from suspension...so he's still getting his timing back. Perfect example was the game ending INT.

Steelers are a serious SB contender....and still might be the best team in the NFL....But the Saints are the defending Champs....No shame in losing this one on the road...
 
no shame at all. two very good teams going at it. excuse my frustration, it's just that poor football coaching irks me to no end. there is nothing a team can do if the opposition has superior athletes. however, at least one can control pre-game preparation and make game-changing decisions in the match...

I noticed the excellent on-field tackling by the Steelers as well, something that I am continuously proud of

I think that they got the first Pitt TD right the first time, but you can't win them all (just look at last week's controversial goal-line mess)

With all due respect thats not brilliant game planning, thats taking what the steelers give you. The steelers will let teams do that all game all year long.

But did you notice how hard it was to get the ball into the endzone? Its a bend dont break defense that makes you throw the ball short many times, hoping you throw an int or get sacked and make some kind of mistake. The defense did their job with the INT and the forced fumble the steelers offense stunk it up and this game was lost by the steelers by poor play calling and game planning on the offensive side of the ball. It was NOTHING the saints did. This was the steelers game to lose and they lost it.

The and axl is right. There is no excuse for the steelers not to have scored over 30 points tonight.

Worst stadium of all time. I used to have season tickets to the Orange Bowl back when the Canes were playing in it, from 2000 to 2007 (I believe). I protested the demolishing of the Orange Bowl by vowing I would never attend another Canes game again until they switched venues. The fuckers also tried to move me from the 50 yard line under the overhang at the Orange bowl to the corner of the endzone at Joe Robbie (now Sun Life, but every Miami fan knows to call it Joe Robbie).

I'm glad I am not attending during this dismal ass season.

Oh, and Kirk Herbstriet agrees. He said it was the worst college stadium he has ever been to.

You call it poor play calling at 1st and Goal at the 6 inch line?? How about poor execution that short distance to the Goal line....Run it up the middle....The Steelers are notoriously know as the most physical team year in and year out....The most logical thing to do was pound it up the middle....Yet the Saints D stood the test....We wanted it more

Saints play great Goal Line D....And with Darren Sharper back on the field....the TOs are coming back

Yes it WAS poor play because teams have stuffed the steelers on the run like that for 3 STRAIGHT WEEKS NOW. The steelers have not been able to run when the other team is expecting it all year... period. They stick with the run until getting desperate in the 4rth quarter. This time it was too little to late when they started to open up the passing game.

The steelers had more running plays than passing at the start of the 4rth quarter. One of the reasons they lost.

Also.. wanna know why the steelers won the superbowl 2 years ago? Ben came passing. Teams where expecting the steelers to play the game you just said they were notorious for. They expected wrong. That played into the steelers hand ALL SEASON LONG that year.

correct. I think it was a horrible play call. the OC rarely calls a run up the middle, except when the defense is expecting it! in my book, if you need inches then the only option (in the NFL at least) should be the QB sneak

we sound like we're just whining over a loss, but rowland comes across as a fellow very serious Steelers and well-educated Steelers fan. yes, we have had successes but we have been winning despite our OC, not because of him

the Steelers should be contenders every year, and they play down to bad teams (not the Saints of course, but just saying)

fire Bruce Arians!
