THE PITTSBURGH Sports CHATTER

[ODShowtime]

Ok Troy is out for a few weeks, but the athletic Timmons can help in the middle... except he re-injured his god damn ankle in practice yesterday!!! SHIT!

Ok, Fox has been labeled a better run stopper than Timmons, but we could really use a quick game changer in the flats and all of that. Oh well, ain't gonna happen.

Sweed also sprained his foot yesterday, luckily we have Wallace and McDonald to lessen the blow.

Regarding the run game, I'm not sure that Parker is done quite yet, and remember he played very little in the preseason which might explain his sheepishness in hitting the holes. Either way I'm glad we don't have him signed past this year. I love ya' Willie, but we're trying to win football games.

Shit, Cutler looked so bad out there Sunday, if he is half as confused by the Steeler D we should be ok.

I'm just glad the game is on TV here. Steelers games are not the same without the old bong and whiskey bottle handy. That's the only way I got through the week 1 shit kicking festival. God damn right back to the Superbowl with the tension. I kept forgetting it was week one and not a "must win". My voice is just now recovering.

I hesitate to even mention it, but for the 37th consecutive year, there are "T.J. Duckett to the Steelers" rumors out there....

Can he play the line...and trap?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I dunno...

The running game will be better, not all teams can stop the run like the Titans can....

I think they'll run better on Sunday in Chicago, especially with Erlacher and Pisochoociemanga out of the lineup....

But against the better teams against the run, like Baltimore twice, they'll struggle...

[POJO_Risin]

I concur for the most part...but do feel that Willie Parker resembles the wicked witch of the west...melting with every touch.

It could have been Tennessee and week 1 and the line...and Roeth...whatever...

but Pittsburgh's run game better improve. They are catching Chicago at the right time for sure...

Adam Schefter on NFL Countdown says now that Parker tweeked his hamstring in pregame warmups vs. the Titans, but is good now...

Fuck that, I'm still benching him, and hope he burns me for it...

[POJO_Risin]

That's why I avoid Steelers on my team like the plague...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

They go on the road to Chicago where it should go well, but you now how I feel about trap games on the road, and this one falls directly into that category...

You know, I should really start getting paid for this shit.....

Horrible fucking effort, HORRIBLE....

Here comes the Bungles...

It's interesting how many in the Pittsburgh media were picking the Bears in an "upset" last week.

I can't remember the last time I saw the writers blogging about the Steelers losing...quite like last week...

Not so much this week though...

Fuck you guys! Odom eats Roethlisberger alive today!!

Bengals lose by 3.

again.

I have no faith Cincy can put anything together for an entire season, but there's a chance they pull this one out. I said a chance. I may even watch the game this time-if I can stomach all the false starts and holding penalties.

[POJO_Risin]

Bengals lose by 3?

[hideyoursheep]

Bengals lose by 3?

It was a prediction, and I'm glad I was wrong.

Cincy did more to lose the game the first 3 quarters than Pittsburgh did the entire game.
Yeah, they win today, but man, they need work.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Ya know, I'm glad I don't get pissed over this bullshit anymore.... (That is kinda true, 10 years ago, my TV would be busted right now)

But it's unbelievable that the Steelers, for the second week in a row, would lay back and let the opposition dink and dunk them all the way down the field to lose...

I hope Sweed has properly kissed the #3 receiver good bye.... Nice sight to see Wallace have a great game like that....

Reed misses another one, albeit over a 50-yarder....

The offense goes totally conservative for the last part of the game, and Cincy knows it, puts 8 in the box, and stops them....

And Poj, I'm glad you finally agree with me re: Taylor....

There, I feel better...

[hideyoursheep]

You guys have fun.....I might be back Nov. 15th, but I doubt it. They're still the Bengals.

[ODShowtime]

wow what a bunch of horse shit that was. So much for a pass rush. I don't think there will be much shit talking or picture posting from me for awhile. If the Steelers keep finishing games like this, it will be a short season.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

That's just it...

No blitzes, no sacks, no INT's, no fumbles, CB's 15 yards away from the receivers....

2006 season all over again.... It's the "Hey, we're Superbowl champs again" syndrome.....
