How about them Steelers!
They have three more tough games to play, Green bay(@Heinz), Baltimore(@Heinz) and Miami.
Steelers had a Really tough schedule All this season, those are your "Superbowl Champs", what skill, what talent, what grace.
It just makes even more obvious, how their last two Superbowl wins were handouts.
Is Polamalu the only player there? Is it the coaching staff?
Conversely, they had a relatively mediocre schedule this year. THe 7 point loss last night was the biggest point spread in any loss they had this season, and in all but the 2nd Cincy loss and last night, they held leads late in the game.
It wasn't just the loss of Polamalu, it was also Aaron Smith getting hurt, and Bryant McFadden and Larry Foote leaving for free agency. It is, all too many times, the defensive players not being on the same page, and, imnsho, Ike Taylor is the most overrated DB in the league. The secondary played horrible in all of their losses. Hell, this team could EASILY have been 11-1 coming into last night';s game if they had just played STEELER defense, and not gagged on the ol chicken bone in 5 games this season.
I remember the networks always showing graphics of when his team had certain leads late in the game, BIll Cowher was something like 98-2, well, hey Mikey Tomlin, this year, your team has yacked up late leads 5 f'in times, and looked so unprepared against the worst team in the league, the bottom dwelling Browns(what is a "Brown" anyways, it's what is found in the diaper of a baby STEELER fan).
Oh well, more time will be open in january on weekends now for me to work on my Barracuda!!!
