Good defense. Let's go, Steelers!

 

[Steelfan7]

not watching - what is wrong with mendenhall? are they putting 8 in the box?

He is a ##### with no heart.I wish the Steelers would bench him.

Bettis in his prime could not run behind these misfits.

Thats why you need someone who is willing to put their shoulder down and power out the tough yards.You need an anti-Mendenhall out there.

Ike would at least break a few tackles every once in a while.

Redman 1 carry for no yds. I like Redman as a change of pace back to Mendenhall, but tonight's lack of run game starts and ends with the poor effort up front and from Johnson.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Gilbert injury. Return questionable. Fantastic.

So they're down to OT#....6? 7?

Well sure, the OL and lack of a true FB certainly doesn't help.Would have loved to see the Steelers bring in a guy like Hynoski.

Dont know, I quit keeping track about 3 years ago. Im not sure they even know their own depth chart for each OL position

 

[Kenny Powers]

Must be a lot of Stiller fans there with how loud the HEATH chants are

 

[timschochet]

Ben taking some big shots here.

 

[Irish Chaos]

wudve never believed someone telling me colts ahead in the 4th.

 

[CrossEyed]

Sounds like lots of Steeler fans in Indy with the Heath cheer.

Major disappointment tonight for Pittsburgh. Not manhandling a manning less Colts, blown out in week 1, despite shutting the Seadogs down last week they were pretty meh on offense. They just have not been the same.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Didnt look like Scott held anything to me

 

[5-ish Finkle]

uh oh, they've knocked out collins maybe?

Steelers are in trouble now. that was probably the only shot they had.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Emmanuel Sanders, nice job.

 

[Irish Chaos]

waiting for mendy fumble inevitably

O and D looks fine. Its the 2 sack-fumbles that have killed them. Roeth has 322 yards and 11.5 YPA early in the 4th Q

 

[CrossEyed]

Another OL down.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

another OL down? They're gonna have Saunders lining up at OT in a minute.

 

[Kenny Powers]

The Big Legursky down...Jesus F Christ

 

[CrossEyed]

I love the ref mayhem commercial.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

Bad drop by Jerraud Powers there, was a pretty easy INT.

Mendy is 47/147 on the season, don't say the offense is fine because it's not. They can't sustain drives and run the ball with consistency. They did this a couple years ago and Big Ben had a lot of stats but IIRC they didn't make the playoffs. I think it was the year after they won the SB against AZ.

 

[CrossEyed]

Time for the Steeler D to win this thing.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

Chances Painter throws an INT to Palumalu on this drive? 50% maybe?

 

[mr roboto]

Did they just say Painter is coming in?

 

[renesauz]

Has Painter ever seen significant action in a game that counted?

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

The curtis painter era begins...

 

[Steeler]

Time for the Steeler D to win this thing.

I was just thinking the same thing.

 

[CrossEyed]

Did they just say Painter is coming in?

Collins has a concussion.

 

[JaxBill]

I just wish that NBC would come up with a show about a female cop.

As for Mendy - might as well throw out the first game. He started out 6/48 and shortly after it was a blowout and he only got a few more carries. Granted, he hasnt looked good tonight, but clearly and wisely the Colts gameplan was to stop the run so PIT leans on the pass and their best weapons Mathis and Freeney get as many opportunities for big plays as possible.Cant sustain drives? They might only have 13 points right now, but theyve only punted 1 time tonight. Once.Its also only the 3rd game of the season.

 

[scratcher]

How does Painter have a job?

 

[timschochet]

Painter looks like a stoner, doesn't he? He looks like Jeff Spicoli.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

oof painter

 

[Kenny Powers]

Oof...Pierre wide open. Nice throw, Curtis.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Taylor's lucky as hell. Totally bit on that.

 

[CrossEyed]

Like I said, good thing it's not Manning in there tonight.

 

[mr roboto]

Well what do you expect? He's just a painter.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Painter looks like a stoner, doesn't he? He looks like Jeff Spicoli.

Spicoli...meets the Mighty Thor

 

[Ministry of Pain]

This could be a backdoor way to avoid concussion diagnosis. "He's being evaluated for a possible concussion"...that's speak for "Go sit on the bench and we'll come see you in 15-20 minutes to see if you still feel like you have a concussion"

In other news...Curtis Painter should be selling sexwax in Hermosa Beach.

 

[JaxBill]

According to twitter, Legursky has a dislocated shoulder.

 

[scratcher]

How does Painter have a job?

Again... how?

 

[CrossEyed]

Wonderful.

Some good points. I think they should have run the ball tonight though, Indy is not a strong run defense usually. The Steelers are having OL problems but they have had those problems for a couple years.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Did they say the punter is the third QB?

Hey, maybe...

 

[BobbyLayne]

How does Painter have a job?

Again... how?

Uses a private courier instead of FedEx to score for the rest of the team?

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

Odd seeing Peyton up in the booth with the OC's etc. I mean I guess it's almost as good as having him in there, but I don't think I've ever seen that before with an injured player. Always on the sidelines.

Is there any doubt when he retires he becomes the Colts OC?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

third flag on Scott tonight? Fourth?

The Lions put Stafford up there for a game or two last year.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Saunders seeing a surprising amount of snaps on 3rd down

Where did Wallace and Ward go?

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Shuisham was NOT coming out for 52 yard FGA anyway. despite what Colinsworth said.
