Steelers were flat today. Going through the motions. Four turnovers by Ben sure helped the cause also.
What the hell was that penalty that turned the field goal attempt into a TD?
Yeah, they looked distracted, some dopey plays. Titans can run though, they are going to be tough to beat.
The penalty was on James Harrison, for yelling a snap count trying to to get an Olineman to jump.
LenDale White is a horse. Shit, all the experts had him going to the Steelers in that draft. Instead , we traded up to get Santonio Holmes.
That was an ass kicking, however the one seed is overrated. Really, the Steelers gained another bye week next week.
Never quite got Santonio. There was never that much hype or expectations for him coming in, and he's lived up to it. A very average receiver.
Ben had it going at times, but the other half of the day he was doing his weirdo act - 3 fumbles - WTF? His protection was okay too. Non-existent run game didn't help. We don't see what goes on in practice, but Moore seems to be significantly more effective than FWP. Quicker off the ball, and much better at developing the play.
I still like our chances, trash Winslow's ponces next week, then rest up a bit from the hardest schedule ever for a decent, fired-up Supe run. This team has poise and moxie, even in defeat.
