What's with these goofy WR dances???

Great drive by Big Ben!

 

[Avery]

What the Hell was that assinine TD dance.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Really needed to make sure they answered with a TD there. Nice.

 

[timschochet]

They sent Troy on that pass to Gronk and Brady read it perfectly, as he always does. You just can't blitz Tom Brady, he always reads the open man.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Its the first TD of his career, give the kid a break. It was bad but still funny at least

Well... in that case you'd think he'd have enough time to practice and come up with something not so ridiculous.

Steelers sack Brady

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

Brady doesn't look very good.

Steelers sack Brady

 

[The Ref]

I feel like the Patriots should be down 24-0.

 

[The Comedian]

Yeah - obviously game not going great for New England, but if I'm a Steeler fan, I'm a little concerned that it's only 17-10.

 

[Walton Goggins]

sweet one more chance

 

[The Ref]

Wonder how many leauges are going to come down to M Carey puting 2 seconds back on the clock.

 

[Clorox]

A 7 point lead is not all that great considering how much the Steelers outplayed them...

 

[Fantasyfollow1]

Is mendenhall hurt or just sucking as usual?

[Kenny Powers]

He's averaging 4.2 ypc, he just isnt getting the touches today, and I cant blame the Steelers gameplan.I also hope Mendy kills it the rest of the year so your perpetual hate will end. What is your boy Redman doing today?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

This.

 

[Fantasyfollow1]

Thanks. That is what I thought.

 

[elbowrm]

What's up with the empty seats?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

big time 3 and out there.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

What's up with the empty seats?

People still in line for the head, probably.

5 carries 21 yds 2-10 recRunning the ball is not in the game plan this week.

 

[cubbie5150]

Relatively low-scoring affair like I figured. BB going conventional, running on 1st down

He isn't hurt is he?Im positive his question was a fantasy based one, and not a Steeler game plan /reality based one. I simply removed the injury part of his text.

Back to back 1st downs all Mendy.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

You will see this a lot at Heinz after halftime. EVERYBODY pisses and gets more beer. And the travel paths are quite slow around the stadium.

8 for 43 now, 5.4 YPC....Get this bum out and put Redman in!

 

[Walton Goggins]

Always thought Phil Simms could speak English. Did he have a mini stroke recently?

 

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

Injury thread said Hernandez was gimpy. Is he still on the field when NE has the ball?

 

[BigSteelThrill]

8-43 is Mendenhalls 2nd best stat output of the year for rushing, currently. 5.4 a clip is huge.

And that's against the #8 rush defense in the league.

 

[The Ref]

Game.

Pats cant get of the field on 3 and 15.

 

[GroveDiesel]

The New England secondary is terrible. No way do they win a Super Bowl this year with that unit.

 

[Kenny Powers]

A bit early to call the game, as convincing as PIT looks so far

GB would own them

That's because NE is one of the worst vs the pass so most teams won't run on them. Their ranking is bogus as a result.PIT is going to have to pass to win this game.

 

[timschochet]

Game. Pats cant get of the field on 3 and 15.

Things look good (from my perspective) but the score is still pretty close. A lot has to happen before we can call this.

 

[Walton Goggins]

More TDs for Brown and Wallace please

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Can't believe I'm going to type this: Steelers pass O putting on a clinic so far.

I know the Pats pass D is bad, but geez...outside of a horrible pick by Ben he's basically had his way.

Settling for FGs isn't going to get it done, but the Steelers are pretty much moving the ball at will.

 

[Walton Goggins]

FYI: Brown was targeted for that last throw into end zone.

Agreed, although I expected it. Im more impressed by the D so far

I was expecting them to do well passing....but not like this.D has certainly stepped up big.

 

[Kenny Powers]

FYI: Brown was targeted for that last throw into end zone.

He has at least 2 red zone targets this week, so he's at least doubled his redzone targets for the year.Frankly, Hines can be a cheerleader for the rest of the year for all I care barring injury to 1 of the top 3 guys. I think were better with him on the sidelines.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

That will be killer if Woodley's out

 

[Kenny Powers]

Woodley. ####.

its afwul. We were in the lower level, made the mistake of walking upstairs to meet friends, got drinks, by the time we made it back down, half the third quarter was over

 

[timschochet]

Oh man. Woodley just pulled up. Hamstring?

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

Hernandez still in there?

Agree, Ward is done and he doesn't strike me as someone who is willing to take a back seat for the betterment of the team.

 

[caglassc]

Hernandez still in there?

Yes - he is still in the game.
