    Need a KIcker

    Suisham almost cost us the game. We can do better.

    then give some names.

    the grass isn't always greener.

    i'm warm on sushi, but believe me, there are worse alternatives.

      I was ready for some anger management courses after that horrendous miss, but he’s also made some big kicks for Pittsburgh.

        He's a middle of the pack kicker, unfortunately I don't think we can do much better grabbing a guy off the street.

        I'm just trying to figure out why he was having trouble on kick offs getting it in the end zone, normally hes pretty good at that.
        Some people subscribe to a permanent stasis of wishful thinking. They like to believe the world is made of marshmallows and filled with butterflies. I don't.

          it's getting colder.

          nobody will be perfect at heinz field.

          sushi gets a pass today, IMO.

            I don't believe New England's kicker had that problem, granted he didn't kick off as much as Suis.

              I unless Shiusham starts missing ever kick, I doubt the Steelers replace him this season. I can see them bringing in competition next season. He made one mistake and also contributed to the win.

                we had plenty of returns.

                i know its popular to bag on the steelers kicker, but it doesn't wash with me this week.

                  Heinz Field is one of the toughest places for kickers. Suisham's misses have not yet cost us a game. They have created uncertainty at the end of a few games though, this being one of them. I am concerned, but not ready to boot him. Unfortunately I don't think picking up any one else will provide much of a better chance at this point.

                    Doubt if you could find an upgrade at this point...Do you have anyone in mind? Otherwise, I'm all for bringing in some competition in the offseason.

                      Bring back Roadhouse!!!!

                      He outkicked Sushi in the preseason. Has a way better leg. His leg strength would make 40 yd FGs easier at Heinz.

                      Plus he can boot it out of the endzone with ease.

                      And he probably wouldn't kick it out of bounds.


                      ROADHOUSE!!!!!
