[FernDog]

Ben is coming up big for me in my championship game.

[timschochet]

Is sjax the toughest RB in the league ?

I would have said Barber, but Jackson looks great tonight...

While i am in no position to be tackling any NFL RB, i would just assume run the other way if i were to see him or MBIII running my way.

 

[plinko]

BTW, looks like Fred Taylor might be going to Hawaii after all

One good thing to come out of itThe guy I'm going to lose to is such a slimebag too, I'm surprised he hasn't e-mailed me yet. Damn the luck

Playing against the Steelers defense too. Hurts to watch but a shootout actually helps me there too as much as I hate to see it as a Steelers fan.

I like how Barber makes you pay if you attemt to tackle - most vicious stiff arm in the NFL....

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Yet it's almost halftime and he only has 5 carries

 

[ceisenhower66]

If you put SJax and MBIII in the exact same jerseys, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. They look like the same RB. And they both are friggen awesome to watch. Two of my favorite NFL players. But not tonight with SJax playing my Steelers...

 

[mad sweeney]

I'm betting FWP is done for the year. As good as he's been for FF owners, as a Steeler fan I just don't think he's the answer. Not enough tough yards between the tackles. I would like to see Pittsburgh bring somebody else in next year.

Yeah, I hate having a guy who's leading the league in rushing through 14 games on my team. Clearly if he could just get more yards then he would be the answer. As it is, I'd rather have any other RB, all of whom have rushed for less than Parker.Are people serious when they say stuff like this?

 

[derek245583]

Steelers are falling apart. I'm not sure the playoffs are even a possibility anymore. I'm still rooting, but I don't like what I'm seeing.

Titans, initially, wanted Cleveland to lose to Cincy. Now, if that doesn't happen, they could get in if Cleveland wins both and Pitt loses both.

I was reading on a steelers message board that if they win today and lose to baltimore and the titans win out the titans get the tie breaker based on conference record.I guess I could look into the situation but that seems like a lot of work with two games going on at the moment.

LT has a better stiff arm, but Barber will punish you in ways LT can't.

MB3 does run very hard, but he isnt as strong or as fast as sjax. Sjax is a one of a kind. He is a modern day earl campbell

I certainly think Jackson is the better all around back, but i have never seen any RB, including Jackson, who loves to initiate contact more than Barber.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Holmes is going to be a good one. Love that kid.

I am a Steelers fan and I completely disagree with timschochet. I love FWP. I think the problem is the Steelers o-line. He's gotten his yards in spite of their ineptitude. He is tough enough between the tackles. And the fact is, Ben likes to throw in the red zone. If FWP had 8-10 TDs, he'd be the next LT in the eyes of some (sarcasm).

Ugh, that would suck. I'll be at the Baltimore game.

 

[Burning Sensation]

Agreed, if only he could stay healthy.

 

[pecorino]

najeh is looking like a beast this half. out of the blue the OLine is blocking better--or is it the davenport factor?

Overreact much?

 

[Burning Sensation]

another for Big Ben!!!!!

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Nice job, Ben.

 

[analog_hiss]

najeh is looking like a beast this half. out of the blue the OLine is blocking better--or is it the davenport factor?

Rams Defense, maybe?111 yards allowed per game, 14 TDs

 

[ceisenhower66]

Man, I friggen love this. It is SO nice to see the Steelers play in some good weather on a good field. It's been so long...

 

[treat88]

najeh is looking like a beast this half. out of the blue the OLine is blocking better--or is it the davenport factor?

Can't be the o-line. Mahan is quite possibly the worst blocking OL in Steelers history.Doubt it's dookie.I'm going with option C and saying the Rams front 7 is tired.

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Holmes is going to be a good one. Love that kid.

True dat.

 

[comfortably numb]

Is Atogwe playing?

 

[Cabby]

Regretting starting Palmer over Big Ben now. I have Ward and Miller also but so far they haven't put up the points

For team rushing numbers, 111 is not a lot.Weren't they saying earlier that StL hasn't allowed a 100 yard rusher yet all year?

 

[Routilla]

Ben is coming up big for me in my championship game.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout Willis!!! Go STL, score before halftime.

 

[Burning Sensation]

You are just now regretting it?

Come now, Davenport's a MONSTER. His problem has always been his health.He's a slightly less rich man's Brandon Jacobs cerca 2006.

 

[Gordon Keith]

High Fives fellow Big Ben owners !!



Perfect timing for our championship game !!!!

.

 

[CrossEyed]

Wow, what a horrible call.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Terrible call, good for Sjax and Big Ben though

 

[NYCGangGreen]

So now that FWP is injured (seriousness unknown yet), Does Fred Taylor FINALLY get to go to the ProBowl???

 

[treat88]

Joking?

[FreeBaGeL]

Incomplete...

 

[CrossEyed]

James Harrison is an animal.

 

[Burning Sensation]

Incomplete...

Agreed, that ws an incomplete pass.

 

[Max Power]

rough call...shouldnt be a catch/fumble

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

BTW, looks like Fred Taylor might be going to Hawaii after all

Good point, and well deserved. The Dude abides...

 

[Max Power]

If that was in the endzone...it wouldnt be a TD. So why would it be a catch/fumble?

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Looks like it was stripped to me.

 

[treat88]

8th FF for Harrison.

EDIT: Nevermind.

Anyone miss Joey P. now?

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

rough call...shouldnt be a catch/fumble

Agreed. How can you have control of a ball someone else has their mits on so firmly?

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

On second thought, looks like the right call. Incomplete.

 

[ceisenhower66]

8th FF for Harrison.Anyone miss Joey P. now?

Never did to begin with. Seriously. Felt he was washed up and that Harrison was a beast. I've loved him since he was an undrafted free agent trying to earn a roster spot at training camp.
