yep welcome to my world with a sucky team. my team sucks better then yours lol.
yeah, they lost 3 in a row last year. IT's not like they just plain SUCK, but the offense just blows and its affecting the D. They played great the first half and then were on the field almost the entire second half. It's killing this team. It can be fixed but they play in a good division and playing catch up could make it a rough season.
 
I tried going to sleep after the half but I just couldnt. I stayed awake until late in the 4th when the game was pretty much over. Its pretty clear this is not the same Steelers team we saw back in Feb. Whatever issues are leading to their losse's and however if they fix them at all will be tough w/ this huge hole they have dug from themselves. Tied for last place in your division w/ the browns is not a good place to be going into week 6 of the NFL season. I dont think we'll be seeing a repeat or a 3-4 streek like the Patriots put together those dominent yrs. Just shows just how hard it is to do something like that with the way the NFL is now. For the most part that steelers team is still in tact, they lost a few key players but apparently it was to much for that offense to handle. Well at least bens QB rating moved up to 34.3 but having 5 INT's and 0 TD's is not to appealing. Like I said about Ben last yr. Before you compare him to bradshaw let him be in the leauge a few yrs, does not look to me like he's no where near the same QB he was last season. Well off to work to rag on some steelers fans.

The problem wasn't them loosing players in the off season, or the fact they "they are the champs so they will get everyones best" bull sh! t, or even the thing of we are seeing what kind of QB Ben really is, (his stats are still better career than Bradshaw 2 and 1/2 years into his career) because we have seen Ben for two years now. He is one hell of a QB. The problem from last night was there was NO blocking from the offensive line. None at all. That is freaking KILLING this team. Cant get a first down with your QB on his back the whole night and tehn leaving your D on the field teh entire 2nd half. IF and IF there is a colapse by one of the division leaders in the the AFC north and Pittsburgh gets in, then I believe they can go far. Dont count out another title or two just yet man. IF the line wants to play, they win. IF they line doesnt show up like the past 3 games, they loose. THat simple.
 
Soccer is the sport here, but I just cant get into it as hard as I try :/
If I got a sat. setup I could watch american sports, but I don't really care... But its nice to watch a game with my dad here and there.
