the same vaunted defense that gave up a 92 yard drive and a touchdown with 8 seconds left to blow the game and hand the series to baltimore last week?

that vaunted defense? :)

alasdair

hate all you want, statistically speaking the Steelers defense is 1 or 2 over-all in the NFL. I do believe that these statistics amply back up the usage of the adjective "vaunted"

honestly, I felt like the game was over when Pittsburgh got that dreadful penalty for running out the clock, and thus making a 43 yard FG attempt a 48 yard FG attempt. in Heinz Field, it wouldn't have been smart to kick that FG

we all know in the NFL offense is king. a lot of teams could have scored with that much time left on the clock - it wasn't 8 seconds as you just pointed out. Baltimore had well over the time of the 2 minute warning?

again, if a defense is Top 2 in the NFL - a league most recently formulated into offensive overkill and sissification due to Commi$$ioner Roger Goodell's interference - I can firmly stand behind my "vaunted" statement ;)

but as a Patriots fan, I hardly expect you to be the expert on the justification of defensive word-play ;)

well, you're exaggerating a little but i expect that :) you guys are 5th on ppg, 6th against the rush and 3rd against the pass. your defense is pretty good but when i said 8 seconds, the touchdown was scored with 8 seconds left in the game. i'm just trying to rile you and it seems to be working :)

i can't believe it took you that long to make that point :)

both our teams are involved in great divisional match-ups this week. i'll admit - i'm nervous about this jets game. they have a solid pass defense and it's in new york. i think this is a pretty important win for the patriots who have looked thoroughly ordinary for 2 games now.

your game is a stormer! the cincinnati defense has your defense beat in points per game and rush yards per game and total yards per game is close. it's not a walkover by any stretch. should be a great game to watch. aj green is a beast!

go pats!

The Steelers are the third ranked defense based on YPG allowed. However that stat is not everything, much of a defenses value comes from creating big plays, turnovers, sacks, big stops at important times. From what ive seen the Steelers are down on most of those things this year.
 
just letting y'all know that if we win those superbowl tickets from all those visa commercials we keep seeing we'll invite all of you. BLUELIGHT 'BOWL PARTY IN INDY!!!

even the irishman named after a car
 
haha, I bet Pander pulled his hair out at the end of the Atlanta game

I see the Coach's reasoning for going for it on 4th and short in OT... but it's so stupid to do so when your team's back is right up against the FG posts for an easy win

I just gained a little more respect for Cinci. they are good and the AFC North is yet again one of the most difficult divisions to play in. Cinci's defense is legit, and Andy Dalton is going to be one helluva player. he should be the Rookie of the Year, no doubt. Cam Newton can't even beat the Titans

the Steelers won but Cinci is going to be good for many, many years to come
 
Yeah cincy were v impressive in defeat. Lots of twists and turns with them to come yet.

Pity the Ravens cant use some of Daltons magic he used on the Seahawks or maybe just trying waking the fuck up. Hope Ngata bounces David Reed head off a wall during halftime. Shocking performance so far.

i'm relieved we've come to a point in our relationship where the loser doesn't have to sleep on the sofa downstairs

but still i won woooo

the best part about sharing a division with the Baltimore Ravens is that while they will play their asses off against my team, that same Ravens team got spanked by the dismal Jaguars on Monday Night Football, struggle with the average Arizona Cardinals, and get beat by a offensively offensive Seattle Seahawks club. I guess the Ravens have a tendency to play down to their competition. the Ravens can lose to anybody, which still puts the Steelers in as a threat (as always) to the division due to their hilarious losses

the Steelers looked beastly in their win over the Cincinnati Bengals. that Pittsburgh "vaunted" defense has caused some critics to point out that while they do lead in almost every statistical defensive category, they are unnaturally lagging turnovers. in this game, turnovers come in spurts, and they came all over Rookie Andy Dalton earlier today

up next is the New York Jets against the Patriots. I like that the NFL has been scheduling key division games more towards the end of the year. everything looks like a wash in the beginning, but the true colors of a team shows during divisional rivalry games

anyways, I'm rooting for the GANGGREEN! but it should be difficult for the Patriots to lose what, three straight? not usually...
 
My Giants lost to the 49ers in a tight game. I'm obviously not happy about the loss, but I am pretty happy with the way the G-Men played. Looking at the NFC East division, the Eagles lost today which I was relieved to see, so you can stick a fork in their season now, the Redskins had started the season hot winning 3 of the first 4 games of the season, but haven't won since week for, which leaves us with Dallas.

The Cowboys killed Buffalo today, and given their [Dallas'] easy schedule for the rest of the season, it's going to come down to them and the Giants for the division. They have yet to play each other this season, but will meet twice in the span of 4 weeks, and it is likely that those 2 games will decide who takes the division.
 
Ravens game was real horror show. Hats off to BeastMode for doing what he does best but its just typical of the season after last weeks win. Tavaris Jackson mustve thought he was dreaming to be sacked only 1 time. Week 2 all over again except twice as bad. David Reed handed them 10 points and we never recovered. The Bengals game next week will be huge.

Great win for Steelers Axl, just what you needed, a tough game and take home the Win. If someone had said before the game that 1 team would have 6 sacks and the other team none, you wouldnt have guessed Bengals. Smash mouth football for years to come.
 
should've qb sneaked the damn thing.

too many missed opportunities in that game. and matt ryan can't throw the deep ball.

minus the saints game on dec 26th, there is no reason we shouldn't win the rest of our games. i guess we'll see what happens.

that was a tough loss yesterday.

Bengals defense behind Mike Zimmer is for real imo. Cinci pulled away in the sack category, but two interceptions sealed the victory for the Steelers

feels good to lead the AFC North. what a monster of a division
 
What a game on Sunday, good game Giants. Better game by the 49ers.

A surprise onside kick after scoring, awesome. Alex Smith carrying the offense, awesome. Our Defense winning us the game in the 4th quarter yet again, awesome. They are looking like a very solid team.
