Yup..10-1 but thats ok....Imagine anyone taking Dallas at 8-1...that should be their odds to just make the playoffs for crying out loud...Now onto the future..With the 32nd pick of the first round Pittsburgh selects Alex Mack ...center..Although with a great nucleus its time to trade some 3's and 4's to move up.Afterall Steelers wont keep more than 3 rookies next year anyway so load up to move up!

Pats are in the bunker exchanging ideas on the Matt Cassel matter.
A decision on this could come this week.
As far as next season is concerned, are you kidding me?
We are not there yet.
One game at a time.
No sense getting ahead of ourselves
We need to get thru the combine, the draft, rookie camp, mini camp, pre-season, roster cuts. 
Pats need to heal & stay healthy in the off season ( see Matt Light ad in the Souper Bowl)

Sometime during the week of Sept. 7, I suppose we'll be getting ready for our Sunday opponent.
I suspect that team will be coached well, tough in all three phases of the game.
They will be explosive on offense.  We will need to protect the ball, make smart plays.
In order to win, we'll need to score more points than our opponent.

Any other questions?
Ok, thanks for your time.

Troy Polamalu went crowd surfing today.  Too bad Casey Hampton did not follow.  I would pay to see that.

Art Schlichter would take 9-1....If he wasn't doing 5-10.

Guys during the repeat tonight a couple things to watch for and help me clarify:

*During Harrisons run back it looks like a clip at about the 25 or so going in. Plus there are guys saying Fitzgerald came back from out of bounds to be part of tackle

*Fitzgeralds first TD leaping over Taylor...did the nose of the ball hit the ground coming down..incomplete?

*Tomlin plays to win again. With Cowher would Ben have been given 2 chances to throw from the 6 yd line or would they played it safe for tying FG?

I don't get NFL network.  More to moof:

1.  I only caught a glimpse of the professional misconduct penalty on Harrison - was it that bad?  If the play was still going, isn't he allowed to shove some guy, even if the guy is on the ground?

2.  I think god made Warner fumble twice, not once.  Maybe I don't understand that rule.

3.  Fitz was miles out of bounds, it could not have gone unnoticed, so my guess is that its okay for a defender to come back in, as no one has commented on it.  In fact, I saw one replay where Fitz actually bumped into another Cardinal on the sideline, which slowed him down and may have allowed Harrison the extra seconds to get into the bang zone.

4.  I think that the "clip" on Harrison's run back was caused by a Cardinal, not a Steeler.

5.  The roughing the passer on Ben seemed weak.

6.  The holding on the safety play seemed like another weak call - it looked like they both fell.

7.  Not sure if the TV cams pick it up, but on that last drive on nearly every play, the Cardinals were freaking the fuck out in the defensive backfield.  Check for it, because it was interesting.  Not sure what caused it, maybe they just knew Ben was in poise and moxie mode.

8.  Check out Ben's left arm misdirection before he threw to Holmes for the game winner.  I think that froze those guys in triple coverage, and allowed that most miniscule of seams to be threaded by Ben.

9.  Was Troy's drop as bad as it looked?

10.  Steelers am god.  The Nation am god.  Where's your messiah now, Warner?  Goofballs......

I can be objective.  I didn't see the swings.  The part I saw was a fan's youtube vid where the Cardinal tries to stand up, and Harrison decks him.  It looked unnecessary and it looked rough, but not sure if rose to the standard of unncessary roughnessism.  But if he was Kong bashing the guy, maybe it was.

Agreed, some refs were in Bozo world this year.  The game prior, Ravens at Steelers, was some of the worst I've ever seen, crazy errors as if they didn't even know the rules.  I've said for years that the refs should be given breathalizers during all time outs, and after half-time.

The play with 5 seconds left was reviewed upstairs according to top NFL ref Czar and they saw no reason to call the ref over to confirm what he called correctly on the field..a clear fumble.The referee himself stated that on NFL Radio yesterday.For cosmetics maybe they should have appeased the fans but they got it right.The Holmes salt shaker occured so much after the play the refs had turned and were setting up for the point after (watch tonight and see how long the time is and you'll see the refs moving away). Ref said they didnt see it or it would likely have been called.But overall from the Hokuli screw up right thru it was a horrid year for zebras.

The only squeelin round here Winslowpud should be Browns fans cause their team played like pigs again.At least ya wont have to see the embarassment of losing in prime time next year as you can kiss Monday night etc good bye for a long time.Open wide and say 4-12...."With the 3rd selection in the 2010 draft acquired from the Cleveland Browns...the so an so's select......
