Good Job Steelers!!!

Gives everyone moving forward something else to game plan for.

I would have liked to see Ben go deep.

He went once at least I remember to Moye ... would have been a thing of beauty except for the unforced drop. Arrgh!

TBH, I don't remember how long the pass was, I just remember the ending ...

It would be nice if soft Dik LeBeau came up with something unique, maybe they can have a blowout game once.

In order to have a blowout the defense would have to allow negative points. Our offense is offensive with an average around 17ppg

A blowout comes with momentum, once the offense scores the defense go passive so they kinda play hand in hand. If we score or defense seem to stop any momentum gained and let the other team score.

A lot of that has to do with the RZ woes. Normally, I wouldn't sweat it much because the Ravens were tied for #1 in the NFL in RZ D coming in. The problem is that this has been a problem against everybody. It's a good thing Sushi has been so reliable.

I thought it was stupid. Especially the 2nd time they ran it. Gee whiz- too predictable.

Disagree. I think it is a good sign that the coaches are working with a "do-whatever-it-takes" mentality, which is what this team needs. We are not good enough to line up and just beat teams (particularly the better teams). So for us to have any semblance of a successful season, we need to outscheme, catch off-guard, trick opponents whenever we can.

[pfelix73]

I am all for 'trick' plays. However, the wildcat to me is nothing that is tricky and for the most part just wastes downs. It was a fad that some teams used a few years ago, and I never liked it. Not in the nfl. Again, its my opinion. But now you hardly ever see it in the NFL anymore. I wonder why.

I also disagree with your comment about we are not good enough to line up and beat someone. We did yesterday. Team had well over 130 yds rushing. Not too bad.

The Steelers are 31st in the league in red zone TD scoring percentage. They were 12th in the NFL last season. Ben's best season was under Whiz when they were 7th, scoring red zone TDs almost 2 out of every 3 attempts in 2005. It's been a slow decline since.

I liked how the Steelers pulled out the wildcat to throw in a couple wrinkles. It wouldn't be something that will become a significant part of the O.

Funny stuff. Fire LeBeau...he couldn't hold the other team to minus 7!

After a miserable September, we've started out October by stringing together a couple of wins, but people are complaining that they weren't BLOWOUT WINS!!!

After a miserable September, we've actually managed to come out of the bye and start out October by stringing together a couple of wins, but people are complaining that they weren't BLOWOUT WINS!!! Wow...
