Overall, a very enjoyable game to watch.

All the better than the Redskins lost and that AP gave a fantasy team a good head start.

I don't want the skins to win. I don't want to skins to look good.

Aside from mandatory divisional hate, I really don't care.

A Vikings win would be nice, but otherwise it's a solid don't-care.

Anyone have any interests in tonight's game? I'm fully expecting an easy 'Skins win, so I'll probably be reading or doing something else instead of watching.

They have other receivers besides just Megatron. Guys like Ogletree and Burleson stand out to me. Their secondary is the one that has issues, but their front 4 is great at getting pressure. Hmmm...I feel like I'm talking about another team I like....

When we played them, the moment I keep remembering is Megatron catching a touchdown pass under triple coverage. The way he did it made it look like we could have had our entire defense on him, and he still would have come down with the ball.


And probably the reason we won that game was because our O-Line kept their front 4 away from Dalton. That was huge!
True. And we have one of the best pass protection blockers in the game in Whitworth (if not the best), so that always helps.

No idea how are awful ass secondary is gunna keep him under 400 yards and 5 TDsDead 
 
Also, our line is looking better, but it's still not very good and Im worried about Detroit. Suh, Fairely, all their other pass rushers. We'll be eaten alive. I kinda hope Incognito really isn't too bad a guy and was following coach orders (even if he took it a bit far) because as long as he's not toxic...he's a pretty good lineman andI'd not mind having him, if he can not be a f**ker. Which has eluded him since college so probably a bad ideaLOL

If Detroit doesn't take advantage and rack up some wins, they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.  They certainly have a talented enough team to do it, but what about brains?  They always seem to beat themselves when it matters most.

The NFC North decided to have a party, but the Vikings weren't invited.

Seriously though, I thought the Packers were going to pull that one out last night. It'll be interesting to see what happens in that division over the next month or so.

Lacy is a beast. Teams were really over-devaluing RBs in this years drafts and GB and Cincy got real steals with their rookies.

Reports saying 3 weeks for Rodgers and others saying his season is done. I hope he's back soon. I hate to see a great player be injured. I'd sit him for precaution against the Eagles and have him roaring and ready to go the week after against the Giants.

Yeah, when all you can do is hand off to Eddie Lacy, the other team figures it out eventually.  LOL  He had a great game, though.  I thought the Packers were going to pull it out.

Well I don't want injury, but if Rodgers was still out when the Giants get to him well it would certainly be advantageous.
Though funny thing is not a real help because we still have yet to beat a quality team, and a Seneca Wallace led offense stricken with injuries isn't really intimidating but my team is 2-6 broLOL I'll take just the easy W's

So Richie Incognito is anything but.
History of trouble in in St Louis and turns out he's a bit of a racist f**ker. The media started by talking about "hazing" and "pranks" and at first I thought Martin was being a bit of a wuss, but some of these things said to Martin...yikes! Even if in some way he's trying to be funny, got a twisted way of doing it and it seems to be personal. What a mess.

Shame is he was a pretty decent lineman


IDK MoM. It's a bad year, that really seems like it. All is fine (except for you) when the team is winning. They gotta rebuild a bit, it may be a QB driven league but they can't be superheroes. And the old school ground n pound may be dead but you do have to be able to run at least somewhat, which they can't. The best teams even today can do it at least a bit and this week there's been some good running displays. Besides all I hear about is how the team is dependent on Big Ben and he keeps taking too much of a beating. So are they too reliant on Ben or "old school running"??? I just cant help but feel if they got the O line fixed, both problems would get better.
All will be fine in yinzer nation, even if there's a few years of struggle. I know this is unacceptable but well, accept it.

WOW, battle of the backups. Wonder how long Rodgers will be out.

Honestly, sounds like just another Pittsburgh person who pines for the glory days.

Also one who is taking one loss, albeit a bad one, a bit reactionary.


As a Yankee fan MoM maybe you'll get this, though keep in mind you still dont get quite the same impact as we who grew up here in the heart of it...the dynasty can't roll forever. And it's damn tough to give it up. Many still fight tooth and nail in their mind to "restore the glory" and in their minds anything short of WS victory is still a failure. But the team also sucked for a long period, and my dad never saw success on a grand scale until the 90s so ya know, get to reality there's gunna be some down years.


If they are 10-6+ next year and in the playoffs of course all this never happened and Tomlin is a okLOL


It's not about one game, as he points out, the Steelers come into every game looking completely unprepared to play seemingly with no idea what they are supposed to be doing out there. If they are the ancient team everyone seems to want to make them out to be (they have a few over-the-hill pieces, sure, but come on it's gotten out of hand when someone claims 27 yr old Lawrence Timmons is a dinosaur) wouldn't this be the kind of stuff they shouldn't need to worry about. Even the veterans look completely unprepared to play and have no idea what they are supposed to be doing out there on a weekly basis. Tomlin's more stuck in the past than I am, by the way. Keeps talking returning to "Steeler way" and running the football. What nfl is he coaching in? It's all about passing now, Mike. It's illegal to breathe on a receiver in this league now so get with the program and ease up on this desire to run first. As for them going 10-6 next year: 2011 will go down as the last year Tomlin has a winning record as Steelers head coach. I'll put some money down on that one.


Time always wins.

On the local front, I think the QB "controversy" is pretty well put to bed now.


Agreed on both fronts. The QB controversy in Houston is probably settled after last night too.

Foles haters are still going to be out strong though. Vick has a hell of a blind following for a qb who really only played 8-10 good games in this city.
