Are there other Steeler fans who hate these uniforms as much as I do? I don't understand why they do this once or twice a year. Those yellow helmets are terrible.

A couple nice throws on that drive by McCoy. The pick wasn't his fault. I like his presence in the pocket.

What the TD pass look like? Deep throw? Many targets for Wallace already is very encouraging...

29 yards into the endzone.

Cribbs down. Got POPPED. Hope he's ok.
ETA: Looks ok, walked off under his own power. Headed to the locker room for some tests, probably.

Oop... forgot that I was on DVR time. That happened like 20 minutes ago.

Harrison's going to get fined for that hit. Not sure how he didn't get a flag.

Well any helmet to helmet should be called but I will say that was accidental.He was ready to hit him hard but cribbs got slowed up and started to fall. I think

Harrison should have been called again..

Colt McCoy has some serious happy feet. A few different plays where he's had a clean pocket, and he immediately goes into scramble mode. Is also quickly learning that he's not fast enough to run around outside pressure in the NFL.
Still, he's not doing too bad for a rookie. Effective in the short passing and screen game. He hasn't taken too many shots downfield (largely to aforementioned happy feet), but his few attempts haven't looked terrible.

Yeah... twice in one game. That hit on Massaquoi looks like a fine to me.

I love these uniforms...Apparently Silverback does too

Which hit? Its legal to hit a RB in the head which Cribbs was on that case...The hit on Massaquoi looked like shoulder to helmet on the 1 replay I saw
cribbs hit wasn't his fault. mass hit was. i am sick of seeing crap calls against the qb and stuff like that, but harrison went high there. there was no attempt at a true form tackle and wrapping him up. he was trying to jack him up. plain and simple. i don't mind letting these guys play so all he has to do is blow through the guys body and there is no flag.

Steelers again letting a team hang around. Not a fan.

The Browns have been playing well as of late.Hanging around has plenty to do with them.
Current pace is 14-6 and Ben is getting his stride back.

Cleveland's defense is keeping them in this game. The Steelers may have a tough time pulling this out.

I was just looking at the numbers here, if he keeps this alive for 8 more games he will pass TO and Marvin Harrison to move in to 2nd place all time (Jerry Rice with 274 won't be caught). TO's streak ended last year.

Nice effort by Ward on that TD

Law of statistics dictates that given enough punts, the receiving team will eventually fumble.

Likely better than most thought he would, but not as if he set the world on fire either. His yardage was pretty decent when you look at his end game #s, but he did most of his damage underneath to backs and TEs, and with zero threat of the deep pass(don't recall him taking one shot deep) the Steelers were pretty much able to load up in the box and squash their run game. He needs to work on his cadence too, because I stopped counting how many times the Steelers had someone in their backfield the moment he'd snap the ball. I think he was tipping the count somehow.Pittsburgh didn't blitz him anywhere near what I expected. Yeah, they sacked him 5 times, but they dropped guys an awful lot on 3rd downs, no doubt to try and confuse his reads, allowing him a lot of time to hit those underneath routes. I guess in the grand scheme it worked, since they picked him off twice and held the Browns to 10 points(7 of which were in garbage time when the 2nd teamers were in there), but it wouldn't have been shocking to see them go all out on him and drop him 8-10 times. Didn't seem to be the gameplan though.When the Steelers DID release the hounds on him, he looked pretty uncomfortable. Was quick to pull the ball down and didn't try to step up in the pocket and make a play that I remember. He should have had at least one more INT on his stat sheet too(threw one directly into Woodley's man-bubble and he dropped it).For a rookie getting his first start, against that D, he didn't look like he was completely useless...and I expect most people expected him to look like an utter train wreck.
