    The Secondary may well determine our season next week

    Some guy named Julio Jones is the leading receiver in the NFL, averaging over 200 yards a game in the past few weeks. He might break 300 yards receiving tonight.

    On the more encouraging side, the Falcons seem to have a very porous Secondary themselves, hopefully AB has a monster game.


    We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!

    HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

    Yeah, saw that. Who's this guy. He currently has more yards than AB, and may well have a 100 yards over AB by end of game.

      He also has a hip injury and is in too much pain to finish the game.

        Even without him, Ryan's giving the Packers a run for their money. It wont be a pretty game on Sunday. We need the O to be outstanding; the D won't be much help.

          If we are relying on our defense, especially the secondary then we have serious problems. Our offense is the only hope we have to making the play offs.

            The Packers' DBs may be worse than Pittsburgh's. The GB front was at least getting pressure, and Ryan was still finding wide open receivers. Rodgers, on the other hand, had all day to throw almost every time he dropped back. That, plus his ability to buy time, is a very lethal combination.

              Sorry, but totally disagree. GB's secondary is better than ours and is more athletic. Our front seven have to be in attack mode for the opening whistle of Ryan will torch our secondary like Drew Brees did.

                I'm not sure... I saw WR's running free all night for both teams.

                  Last night, the GB front was on Ryan much faster than the Steeler front was on Dalton. Given less time to separate, Jones was still able to get away from the DBs. If the Steeler D gives Ryan the kind of time that they gave Dalton, it might take a shotgun to stop Julio.

                  Interesting parallels between the Bengal O and the Atlanta O this week.
                  -Each team had a receiver go for over 200 yards and a TD.
                  -Both teams each had just over 100 yards to the rest of their receivers combined.
                  -Neither team ran for over 100 yards in total

                  and most importantly...

                  BOTH TEAMS LOST

                  Now there is a trend that I would like to see continue.

                    Season saved!!

                    The Steelers are reportedly hosting former Liberty CB Kevin Fogg for a workout today according to [URL="https://twitter.com/DraftDiamonds"]NFL Draft Diamonds[/URL]. Fogg was with the Miami Dolphins this summer, and the 5’10″ 190 lb defensive back played for the FXFL Brooklyn Bolts this fall. Football Gameplan gave Fogg their FXFL Special Teams MVP award.

                      They should have looked at Cason instead but now he signed with the Ravens.

                        I thought about Cason, but don't our DBs make enough mental errors?
                        Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                            Steelers signed Liberty cornerback Kevin Fogg to practice squad, according to a source. Steelers also worked out cornerback Anthony Gaitor

                            Team will have to make a roster move to sign Fogg to the PS. #Steelers

                              just know is game's in a dome and bad matchup for Pitt secondary. Losing record means nothing to me. Big game for Atlanta.

                              The Steelers are favored by only 1.5 at Atlanta. That's because of Julio Jones, not the alleged roller coaster.
