While the Steelers defense is starting to get picked apart a bit, it’s not making up for either the Texans’ lack of defense or Big Ben’s ability to make plays. The question now becomes whether Pittsburgh can hold this team off down the stretch. We shall see. Thumbs up on the fish and chips here […]Read More
Drop back, look around, scramble, scramble, look again, heave it down field, hit Cedric Wilson on the Texans’ 20. W00t! Willie Parker got into the end zone two plays later. So much for Texans’ momentum out of the locker room. Steelers 27, Texans 7.Read More
Notice how quickly Tom Brady is getting rid of the ball on the Pats’ first drive of the second half? Thatt makes it much harder for the Panthers to get an effective pass rush on him. And it appears to be working so far…Read More
Very few people can get away with ripping off Stephen Davis’ helmet like that and get away unscathed. It’s just more proof that Duce Staley was right about that defense. On the other hand, Harrison was penalized for unnecessary roughness, which helped set up John Kasay’s second field goal of the day. Kasay has now […]Read More
I watched a little bit of the Rams-Lions preseason game last night. Watching Detroit fans boo in the second quarter and begin their mass exodus halfway through the third quarter was far more amusing than the average episode of Mind of Mencia. (Sure, the Pope Cheech I bit was really funny, but c’mon…) If the Lions don’t turn […]Read More
Vic Carucci of NFL.com seems to think the Panthers are poised for greatness this season. How good are the Panthers? After preseason victories over the New York Giants and Detroit Lions, Browns coach Romeo Crennel was cautiously pleased with the progress he had seen from his team. But he viewed the Panthers as the greatest test to […]Read More
Official word out of Pittsburgh is that Jerome Bettis will be out for at least two weeks with a calf injury. The Bus will not be available for the season opener against Tennessee but might be able to play after that. So barring any more injuries (knock on wood), Willie Parker will start, Verron Haynes will be […]Read More
I hate seeing what’s happening to New Orleans right now. It’s a city I never had a chance to visit before Hurricane Katrina blew into town, and I hope it gets the opportunity to rebuild once the worst is over. If you’re stuck down there, stay as safe as you can. As a football fan, […]Read More
So now Jerome Bettis has an injured right calf and will miss at least the season opener. Plus, Duce Staley is still rehabbing his torn meniscus and will likely not see any action until Week 5, right after the Steelers’ bye week. You know what this means, right? Willie Parker is going to get the ball […]Read More
