Gotcha. I couldn't think of any punters with the last name James off the top of my head, so them I started listing them to see if any had the first name James.

But, yeah, James Harrison shouldn't long-snap anymore. Maybe he could punt, though. Who knows?

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

But you can't just say it was week 1? The very next week the Titans used that tape against the RAVENS and beat them. Come on!!! seriously?

Our bad play helped the Titans beat our division FOE for US! You can spin this anyway you want but I just read it on the Ravens board. The titans took away the underneath stuff the steelers gave them and Flacco couldnt stretch the field. It's all on their FORUMS.

We layed an egg in week 1. It was BAD!! HORRIBLE!!! but that isnt our team! We do this EVERY DARN YEAR!!! Arent we use to this by now?

Fire BA threads all year long!!!
Get a FB all year long
OLINE sucks all year long
Punter is horrible especially if James Punts.
Return game is horrible
Can't stop the RETURN.
DL is OLD
Aaron and Farrior have to go!
BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!

It's all played out every year and what happens??? We get into the playoffs and all that crap is forgotten!!! Unless we lose a playoff game and then its all back on again and we once again talk about the above issues!

It's the cycle! Some like to complain to feel better which i TOTALLY GET!! GO FOR IT!! but after a win shows you how spoiled we have become as fans. When winning isnt even enough anymore!!! SAD!! Real SAD!

Wait till we get killed by the Texans! That will give your complaints more MERIT and more weight! LOL

I think Tennessee not stinking it up on O is one of the reason's they beat the Ravens. If you think our bad play helped Baltimore lose you have the thickest gold and black goggles ever made.

I think the threads about our team are recycled because every year we have a new season.... the threads tend to touch on different opinions people have about our team. It's still football so most threads will feel recycled.

Do you complain about Christmas and New Years happening every year as well?

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

True maybe next week we can start that thread. LOL James should PUNT.

This is what this thread needed! a FUNNY!

ESPN ARTICLE: Read it and wheap! I do know what I speak of and I do have FACTS! It's a COPY CAT LEAGUE and that goes for SHUTTING down teams as well!!! Titans used our game to gameplan the Ravens and it worked! Sorry to burst your bubble but it happens EVERY WEEK in the NFL. LOL Real Rocket Science here guys!!! Guess the Ravens are BAD TOOO because they should of known it was coming and they couldnt adjust or win this game. THEY ARE HORRIBLE JUST LIKE US!!!!!!

Offensive Struggles:

In week 1 Pitt made a concerted effort to take away Lee Evans, often leaving a safety over the top etc. This allowed for the underneath game to excel. Boldin, Dickson, Pitta, and Rice all had big days catching the ball and running after the catch.

In week 2 Tennessee decided they would make Evans beat them, basically focusing on taking away the short and intermediate routes, and it worked. The article also mentions how Evans has never really been a great WR. He doesnt catch a large % of passes coming his way, and isnt a real scary deep threat. (they didnt mention that he has been nursing an injury and isnt 100%) Essentially our underneath passing game was far less effective, and the author isnt impressed with our Receiving options (unproven TEs, aging Boldin, and rookie WRs). What wasnt mentioned was the poor O-line play that had Flacco on the run most of the game.

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

Not sure how Tennessee using tape of our D helps our STINKING OFFENSE!!!

This thread is about our O stinking up the place but you keep bringing up crazy stats and other teams to try to prove us wrong. Not sure how Tennessee doing the exact opposite of what we did proves we are awesome

The only way we will be convinced our O doesn't stink is to see it produce this Sunday.

Wait... I just have to type it again because it's so hilarious. You used an ESPN article that says a team did the exact opposite of what we did as proof we are on the right track? Nah.. you didn't really do that.

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

oh snap i just saw the part about the BAD LINE PLAY of the Ravens. NO??? Say it aint so JOE!!! Joe was on the RUN most of the game??? Crazy how the LINE can stop our great D but they tooo lay an EGG in Tennessee!! Amazing stuff you learn when you READ articles and not peoples opinions! LOL

You will occassionally play a bad game. Anyone here actually play a sport before? You never had a bad game? Now imagine 22 guys!!! Is it not posssible for a few of them to have a bad game??? It's why we can't predict winners every week and why there is always an upset or two every week!!!! Sure we would love for our STEELERS to play perfect every week but it just isnt possible!!! So for you perfectionists out there I hope you do get to see 1 game this year where all 22 guys are playing LIGHTS OUT PERFECT!!!!! Odds are in your favor that next week you can have something bad to write about adn someone on this team will probably STINK again! Who will it be this week??? I can't wait to read about it!!! LOL

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

WHere do i say it makes us awesome? I said our game helped the Titans win meaning the game tape. Ravens did something well so of course they were going to do it again!!! Had it not worked against US they would of done something different in TENN and who knows what would of happened. You just dont know!!!!!

We are awesome because you should know better and as a fan you should always think we are AWESOME! IF you dont get the heck out of here and go cheer for a losing team please!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously!! Get out of here!!!

Coaches and Players watch TAPE! You make adjustments and you play the game!!! You dont think the Colts made adjustments after we lite them up for 170 plus yards in the 1st quarter???? Those adjustments WORKED, ours didnt!!!!!! Knocking out Kerry also changed our game plan and it back fired on us as well!!! Troy isnt in that box if Manning is playing!!!!!!!! Everything matters in the game of football!!! NOt just stats!!! We won the game and we dont STINK!!!!! We are number 10 in the power rankings so obviously many people dont think we STINK! It's a shame some of our very own do think that and are verbally posting it after a WIN.

it's possible to have bad games... it's also possible for people to write about those games and form opinions until the next game is played.

I would focus less on the articles and more on the game tape. The guy slamming Ben wrote about scrambles that didn't happen on certain plays in question.

tape tells the whole story.

stats don't matter and then you use stats and power rankings?

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

Well isnt that we have talked about all day long? STATS? and our scoring offense and how horrible? I'm still confused. Are we counting W's or not? I have no clue!!

We beat the horse!!!

I'm Doogie and I'm a STEELER Fan and always have been. I cheered for Mark Malone like he was the best next thing to Magnium PI! LOL I cheered for Walter Ambercrombie, Frank Pollard, Bubby Brister, and Mike Tomzack!!! I loved every season and I cheered every week!!! My Steelers can always win! That might make me sick in the head or blind but this team sure has given me many years of happiness. My Dad passed away an Eagle fan and having never seen a SUPERBOWL VICTORY! TO me that's sad and i know he'd roll around in his grave to see us bitching about our team. My best Friends a Bengal fan!! he's pissed about teh 11 million Mike Brown is holding or has to hold over Palmer!!! He has some valid complaints..............WE DONT!

We are Steeler fans and we have a damn good squad!!! We will lose a game or two but we have the talent to win and I stand by it and I cheer for them!!!!!

Bring on the TEXANS!!! Its time to show them the REAL PITTSBURGH STEELERS!! 2-1 and we have yet to play like ourselves.........dont see this as a bad thing at all and in fact im encouraged by it!!!!

If you cheered for Mark Malone like I did then you will like this team a lot more even in a sloppy WIN!

GOO STEELERS

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

while elite offenses consistently put up 30.

this is not my quote! Does this not suggest our Defense stinks? CONSISTENTLY GIVING UP 30 would in fact make us stink on D!

Again nice try!

I'll switch to DECAF when the negative stops after a WIN!! A WIN!!!! not asking for a lot here! LOL

Yeah, you must be high. I said nothing about the Steelers defense, at all! What I said was elite offense score 30 pts. General statement. And the Steelers offense struggles to score 20. General statement.

Where do you even see me mentioning the Steelers defense in those statements?

I think you might need a need a new translator for your soapbox, because you're making up your own sh!t now!

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

My apologizes I read it wrong! I assumed you were comparing our bad offense to the those of better teams like the Saints and Patriots like others have done. MY BAD!

Either way after week 3 it's a bit early to complain IMO and put up the 20 points on average stat. IMO

[feltdizz]

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

No one is questioning your fanaticism for the Steelers. I guess the real question is why are you questioning those who are critical of the offense we have seen for 3 weeks? No one said the season is over or the offense will stink all season.

Right now though... It stinks. When it stops stinking we will change our opinions.

[Doogie36]

Re: Starkey: "This offense stinks"

Fair enough!

This week is the week the offense comes around and our DB's are exposed and all week we can talk about them stinking tooo! LOL I predict it now! LOL
