The last 2 games, the Steelers have beaten the snot out of their opponents in the 1st half, but they didn't score enough touchdowns to put the game away. Then in the 2nd half, it's like they get bored and lose their edge. I wonder if winning the Super Bowl has caused them to lose some hunger.
Chargers won Freaking Oakland plays like warriors against us and injure half of our team and than they blow chunks against the donkeys..
Its strange, last few years we get our asses kicked by them in our own backyard, then we return the favor.
I blame the offensive play calling. The coaches haven't adapted to not being able to keep the opponent from scoring without Troy back there. That 1 extra second that the QB's waste looking for him is huge for the LB's to get pressure. I'm of the belief that the Steelers win both games if they were trailing in the 4th, instead of milking a small lead. (Yes, I realize they lost, so did trail in the 4th, but both times in the final seconds.) They keep calling the equivalent of prevent offense, which they can't run w/out a good run game. Luckily 6 seeds can win the super bowl! (assuming they get into the playoffs... must find something to knock.)
Warner and Manning number 1 and 2 at yards per game in NFL history. Wayne vs Fitzgerald. Excited for this passing showdown . Rooting for the Cardinals!
Wow, two weeks in a row of the Steelers losing games where they badly outgained their opponents and blew 4th quarter leads. This is unchartered waters for a Steelers fan. Troy can't get healthy soon enough. It's pretty painful watching overrated losers like Jay Cutler and Carson Palmer pick on Tyrone Carter while Troy is on the sideline in sweats.
The Titans coaching staff wearing shirts that say HOUSTON Oilers is baffling and nauseauting all at the sametime.
Ha. That's funny. I was right on most of my predictions: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=4770963&postcount=12 Missed the Denver, Packers, and Minnesota game predictions. Probably the only one deserving to wear anything "HOUSTON" is coach Fisher, no? Isn't he the only one left of the Houston Oilers?
Made me sick to my stomach and I had to explain the whole situation to my kids when we were watching highlights yesterday. Now even kids know why we root against the Titans.
Yeah that was kind of painful to watch, the wife asked me the same thing and had to explain it as well.
Interesting. I thought it was actually respectful. An acknowledgement that the team was tied to the city and vice-versa. The fact that the uniforms don't have Houston anywhere (and rightly so), I liked that the coaches wore the Houston tagged memorabilia. My gut tells me that ol' Bud Adams didn't approve of it either. (and even if I'm wrong, the thought of Bud being pissed off makes me smile)
i thought that was a little odd too...but at least Fisher was a true houston oiler, so maybe it was his own little way or remembering that. Since it was Fisher, i can let it slide.
