          6 out of 14 in a 32 team league!!! I guess our 'homer' votes paid off.

              Despite all of the media hype surrounding Ed Reed this week, I'm glad that Deshea earned the honors.

                      Congrats to Deshea. Very well earned!


                      It's easy to say, "Well, that was a gimmee for DT. Rhomo threw it directly to him. Anyone could have done that"

                      But nobody here wants to think about what coulda been (or not have been) had that been Ike and not DT.







                      (Yes, I know Ike made a nice pick. But y'all know what I mean...)

                          I know what you mean, but it was a gimme and he did not earn that award. Ed Reed had a much better game. I don't even think it was close.
                          Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

                              I think Ed Reed should have won this weeks DPOTW.

                                  Ed Reed won't come close to a POTW award this week.

                                  He'll have PTSD symptoms instead, with flashbacks to the Ward and Harrison hits.





                                  Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                                  Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                                  We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                                  We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                                              Well, thankfully, there's one voice of reason in this thread...

                                              Don't get me wrong, I love DT. I love the Steelers, and I'm glad Steelers fans are out in force showing love for our Black and Gold. But Player of the Week for Townsend? What a crock! As I said before, he wasn't even the defensive player of that GAME! I could vote for the play as defensive PLAY of the week--even then, I'd have to say that Lamarr Woodley should get as much star billing for it as DT does.

                                              How could anyone honestly say that DT's game performance for week 14 was better than Ed Reed's? Or even James Harrison's?

                                              Maybe they ought to rename the award as "Homer Fan Defensive Player of the Week."

                                                  Best part of that list is it is four different Steelers defensive players in those six weeks. Says a lot about the quality of our entire defense.

                                                      Sorry fellas... when you have an INT that is returned for a TD with 1 minute left on the clock and both teams need the win for the playoffs.. you win DPOTW!
