Week 11 @ Titans

[3riverbabe]

What concerns me, like every other Steelers fan:


We play down to the competition. We beat the pants off the Colts & Ravens, but lost to the Jets & Bucs.


We have some key injuries. Troy may not be the player he once was, but the defense plays better with him in the lineup.


I don't understand why sometimes the offense forgets about Antonio Brown & Heath Miller, & calls a run play when a pass is really needed. I've seen that happen several times. WTF?


Despite that, I'm looking for a good game tonight. Go Steelers!

I'm always happy to see the future out there getting minutes...he's not totally ready yet, he can't be, but I think this is the way you get ready...live snaps.

Are you ready for some football???

I was cursing Haley for a while, I thought they didn't have enough hot routes called vs all those stunting blitzers, but after looking at it again early this morning...he did adjust and Ben had better angles on the hot routes to get the ball out vs the blitz...I really like how the OL was able to get Bell to the LB level on just about every play in the 4Q and salted this one away...old school Steeler style.

Yeah it was close but a dropped TD by Bryant, an endzone pick, and a blown coverage on the long TD before the half was the cause....too bad Blount couldn't handle this win like a man even though he didn't contribute.

Whatever...7-4...1st place in the DIV heading into the bye!!!

Ugly but it ended up ok. Ben was terrible in the first half, solid in the second. Can't say enough good things about Bell and AB.

And the Steelers just cut Blount for leaving the field before the game was over, right move, IMO.

More unnerving than ugly (although the end zone pic and TD was ugly)...even up 11, I never felt like TN was going to win for some reason...once Haley/Munchak figured out the stunting blitzers and gave Ben a hot route that really ended the Titans threat...their back 4 couldn't handle the WRs and obviously their front 7 had no answer for Bell....On OFC they I think they had, what 2 maybe 3 sustained drives? 3 plays made it close.

Blount...yeah...I saw that...I can't fault the guy wanting his touches, but you signed as the clear cut backup...I wonder what his expectations were.

Just reported...Josh Harris has been signed to the 53 and I like the move. I can't help but wonder if Haley will use the bye week to get Archer a real package to see if he's going to be of any real use down the stretch.

Like Evil Al used to say "Just Win Baby". That's all I'm looking for now is wins, not style points. Bell is a beast and the line's runblocking was great. Can't really say as much about their pass blocking but about half those sacks were on Ben. How many times do I have to yell "JUST THROW THE DAMN BALL ALREADY!" at the TV before he hears me?

What's up with the squib kicks? Did I miss something? DO they have a great return game or something? Why continually give them the ball on the 35 yd line?

Bottom line we got 7 wins and are in the running. Get some guys back after the bye and clean up some of the sloppy play. Tomlin showed some leadership and cut the idiot manchild. Guy had talent that we may miss down the stretch but can't have a cancer like that festering in the locker room. I hope we can add another vet RB. Maybe Tate will clear waivers.

Not looking like a team ready to make a strong playoff run but we are still in the hunt.

I dont see how archer can be effective he is puny

B-bye Mr Blount! Don't let the door hit ya on the arse on the way out.



And, don't forget to take that bag of "oregano" in your locker with you when you leave.
