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!

You know what was funny tonight? As i was watching the game with my father i told him right after the Saints scored late in the game that now the steelers would score in like 3 plays since they are desperate. He thought i was just talking but i was dead serious.. and i was right. They scored in 4 plays.

I was like "good. now that we are behind we will finally try to play some real offense" 8
This game was completely identical to the last two. Only difference was we played a team that was too good for us to get away with it this time. Im glad this just came against an NFC team. Hopefully this will wake up the coaching staff.

And they did play down to the saints.. because of being out coached. It really seems like the Steelers offense still has its hands tied behind its back despite Ben returning.

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.

Joe Robbie stadium is so bad. It's almost large enough to host NASCAR, or an Iditarod.

They say the old man intended to host football and soccer there and that's why it's so enormous.
 
Oakland being .500 for the first time since 2002 damn, good game vs the seahawks looks good the west could acutally be between oakland and kanas

92 points , and nigh on 1000 yards in 2 games, and DMC looks like the best back in football right about now.

Problem is both wins have come against crap, the Raiders could be 2-6 or 6-2 just as easily as the current 4-4. depending on Janikowski, Rams etc etc , its a measure of the NFL parity that we dont really know if this team is great or lucky.

But there is SERIOUS talent all over the roster, that cant be denied, people make fun of Al Davis drafts, but a YOUNG core of DMC,Bush, Louis Murphy, Veldheer, Houston, MccLain,Shaunessey,Mitchell, Branch, and Steve Brown is NOT to be discarded.

Better young draftees than most teams have managed in the last few years, the problem has always been the coaching continuity and patience , I think Al is finally realising this.
 
shit, Randy Moss, CIAO. someone had to get fired, and Childress didn't have the fucking balls to fire Brett Favre.

I didn't see a single minute of the Saints v Steelers game last night, but I heard it while I was walking around, and driving slowly through game day traffic. We were drunk, and answering all the who dats and yelling the bed intruder rapist song at the packs of steelers fans because it seemed appropriate, or something ;)

as for the raiders and the rest of the west --- everyone is so inconsistent that i have no idea if any of those teams are actually decent or just so full of mismatched holes that one week you can kick ass and then lose by 49580345 points to an even shittier team.

texans v indy tonight, and fuck the texans, this is the only time all year you'll hear me rooting for the NOLA native son in exile -_-

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.

I agree partially and I am not defending Arians either but the WRs have to adjust too. I dont believe Arians calls the hot read WRs, those are Ben's and probably Hines' responsibilities. How many gains, especially on that all out blitz late in the 1st half, would the Steelers have gotten if one of the WRs would have bothered to properly read the 8 man line and cut off their route? As such, no adjustment was made until late and the Saints kept blitzing.

The run play calls? Ben should audible to passes more if the D is going to crowd the line. Perhaps its Arians or perhaps Ben is still rusty but I wouldnt stack it all on Arians just yet. Although, I dont particularly like him.

One more thing....I wish Tomlin hadnt wasted his challenge in the 1st half on that non-fumble play. Then he could have challenged the play on 2nd or 3rd & goal for Mendy's run. The ball looked in.

We easily be 5-3 if it had not been for that Jano miss at the cards ever since that game hes steeped up to big numbers. The whole team has a feel of a winner the team has come well together as well Heyward bey looks some waht solid after that hawks game.

Tom Cable has made the raiders pretty good now if we beat the cheifs we will be in a good step forward.
 
Moss in a Ram's uni, I can see it now!!!

They need a deep threat bad...look at Bradford's numbers from yesterday...a shit ton of completions for only 200 yards.

Considering all the teams in contention, Ram's are hurting the most at WR....but I got a bad feeling about him going to San Diego.
 
the AFC West between Oakland and Kansas City?? what is this, the 1960s again??
 
Wait never mind, Moss wont be cut. It was an act by Brad Childress, there owner didnt apporve the cut yet and I dobut he will becase he knows brads a peicie of shit coach.

Brett is a warrior, wasnt his fault they lost that game also that Interception was more Harvin's fault than brett.

Poor coaching, having A.D go for it on 4th down when they couldnt do it three times before hand the feild goal would of made more sense. Take the points, go to half time with the lead.
 
brett is a mediocre qb who should have retired. i'm not just talking about one game.

he is currently 29th (out of 32) in the league by rating (69.8). he is 18th in passing percentage. he is 19th in yards. he is 25th in touchdowns.

he's near the top of one qb list - he's 3rd in interceptions thrown.

he's just not that good...

I actually think that Favre could be useful and productive with the right team. sure, his stats have lacked this year but lets not forget the career season he had last year (and he has had an impressive career, look at the stats of his MVP seasons)

I am also in the camp that Brad Childress is an unimpressive coach. the fact that he has failed to win with a premiere RB in Adrian Peterson and a solid pass rush defense truly baffles me. my thought process on Favre is this - if he were out, the Vikings would be even worst off with Tarvar Jackson. imagine Tarvar starting, that would be an even scarier thought

but Favre is getting old. an even scarier thought for me is that I can see him starting somewhere for a possible three years more (tops). QB play in the league is down, specially this year...
 
who knows anymore? all I know is that my team never gets a chance to pick up these exotic players. I'm sure other fans of teams who are usually above-average every year can also feel for me

this is because a player is released from a team, they enter a waiver process. the first teams that get a shot at the player up for grabs are the teams with the lowest records
