[Double-Shift Lasse]

It's called the bobble walk. Here's an article about it.

Haha "According to the streets..."

That's ****ing stupid. Sadly I'd expect nothing less

Chris Adamski
Troy Polamalu and Ike Taylor Doubtful for Sunday. Spaeth Questionable. All others Probable, expected to play (including Gilbert/Harrison).

There was a day when the Steelers defense would really be in trouble if Troy didn't play. Now, it feels like he's been sort of a non-factor either way. He isn't totally washed up like Ike, but he's just not the dynamic player he used to be.

Ike not playing is good news though. That guy is DONE.

I agree on both accounts. I was hoping that Polamalu's second half of the season play from last year would carry over but so far he's been ordinary at best. Not a detriment like Taylor but not the exciting playmaker he was once. With Mitchell not coming close to living up the contract he signed the safety play has been disappointing this season.

I was just told Pat Narduzzi Pitt's top target right now.

^ Interesting. Narduzzi is regarded as one of the elite defensive coordinators in the country. He turned down the UCONN football head coaching job last year.

Hiring Narduzzi would probably be the best thing short-term. Pitt already has a good offense and Narduzzi can likely improve the defense. Seems like a good combination.

Did anyone catch Madden's interview with Wannstedt today? He pretty much said everything went downhill with the football program after Pederson was hired. He also advised Nordenberg not to hire him, which obviously went ignored.

What a shock...able to move the ball at will until 3rd & short inside the 10.

 

[TNT87]

Two sacks on that opening drive. The Chiefs have given up the 8th most sacks in the league.

Its as inevitable as a empty net attempt for the Pens. 0 goals and 3 points.

Is it just me or are there a lot of commercials today?

 

[Big McLargehuge]

6 ad breaks per quarter. Lots of stops early in the quarter mean they come rapid fire.


6 per quarter. Oof.



Bart Scott doing highlights? The ****, CBS?

 

[wheelz87]

Hey Tomlin call a TO so we can get the ball back. No? Ok thanks, extra possessions mean nothing in the NFL.

 

[ColePens]

Very unlike KC to be this risky.

 

[Al Smith]

Nice stand by the D. Don't get to say that very often.

 

[Shockmaster]

Flacco is currently 2/13, 17 yds, and 2 INTs in Houston.

 

[Cherpak]

KC is in desperation mode. A fake FG attempt and going for it on 4 and inches, all in the first half.

 

[TNT87]

Terrific stand by the defense.

 

[Shockmaster]

Houston up on Baltimore 16-0.

 

[Cherpak]

Can't believe fat boy didn't go for the FG instead of trying to get the 1st down. Kick for the three especially when you have the ball coming out in the second half. Big momentum killer there.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

The fake field goal I liked, not taking the points there I don't...but I'll sure as hell take it.


I should get used to seeing stuff like that, though...my Montana Grizzlies hired a coach who's notorious for treating 4th & <5 as an offensive down...but with halftime <30 seconds away you take the points.

The fake FG was brilliant. They obviously saw the Steelers coverage and exploited it. Its not taking the points before HT I would have crucified Tomlin for. For the record, I hate that Tomlin plays for the FG.

 

[UnrealMachine]

Harrison is having an amazing game so far. Coming back from an injury to boot. It makes no sense that he can still have games like this.

 

[Cherpak]

Charles injured. That could be big.

 

[Cherpak]

Very nice punt.
