Title: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on September 10, 2009, 07:14:43 pm Only about an hour way from the first meaningful football game since Feb.
Thoughts on the game? Who you rooting for? Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: Dave Gray on September 10, 2009, 07:16:15 pm I am pulling for the Titans. I also have fantasy implications, so I'm pulling for lots of Titan FGs. Woot!
Although, I'm really just happy to have 2 good teams playing a meaningful game. I am so ready for this. Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: Denver_Bronco on September 10, 2009, 08:59:42 pm Nice shank, Biron-ass........ ::)
I swear that this Pitt team has a horseshoe up their ass because they are simply not that good, especially offensively. Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: Sunstroke on September 10, 2009, 09:17:50 pm I went heavy on both Pitt-D and Balt-D in FF drafts this season, plus I have Santonio active tonight on a couple of squads...so I'm mostly cheering for Steelers tonight. Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: Dave Gray on September 10, 2009, 10:29:10 pm Bironas sucking is really bumming me out.
Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: Defense54 on September 10, 2009, 10:51:47 pm You all know I am a big fan of KILLER defense. Pittsburg has a Killer defense. They don't just try to beat people, they physically try to hurt you and usually suceed. If Miami isn't going to the dance , then I'd like to see Pittsburg represent the AFC again.
Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: Dave Gray on September 10, 2009, 11:54:50 pm Tennessee had absolutely no pressure unless they brought the house.
Their 4 man rush was a joke. Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: BigDaddyFin on September 11, 2009, 12:52:11 am Tennesee totally pissed that game away. 2 turnovers one of them in the redzone, missed and blocked field goal.
The Steelers manage to pull their bullshit at the last second again. Boring. Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: fyo on September 11, 2009, 01:14:31 pm Meaningful football, yeah, but what a sloppy game. Illegal formation, illegal shift, bad snaps, bad kicks, o-linemen completely missing their assignments, invalid "fair catch" waves, punts and kicks fielded inside the 10 AND FAIR CAUGHT... sheesh... never any question this was a week 1 game.
If I were a Steelers fan, I'd be very worried about the running game. Parker's a good speed back, but their O line just doesn't get any push. They have some technical skills and can create some good holes and cut-back lanes at times, but they're just not getting any push... and Parker just isn't a power back capable of getting a couple of yards up the gut. And neither is Mewelde Moore. Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: Rick on September 11, 2009, 01:59:32 pm If I were a Steelers fan, I'd be very worried about the running game.

Oh, yeah, I forgot that particular sign of the game being sloppy; Rashard Mendelhall (had to look it up) running going the wrong way around Roethlisberger and slamming right into him. Of course, Roethlisberger has like 20 pounds on him... Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: BigDaddyFin on September 11, 2009, 03:50:30 pm Does anyone know the extent of Polumalu's injury? The Pittsburgh defense looked vulnerable without him last night.
Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: SportsChick on September 11, 2009, 03:57:27 pm Sprained MCL, I heard 4-6 weeks

The Pittsburgh defense looked vulnerable without him last night. And the Madden Curse continues. If I was Larry Fitzgerald, I'd be nervous...... VERY nervous. Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: Sunstroke on September 11, 2009, 11:31:18 pm Rashard Mendelhall (had to look it up) Gotta smile at that...you looked it up, noted that you looked it up, and still spelled it wrong<g> It's "Mendenhall." ;D Title: Re: MEANINGFUL FOOTBALL Pitt vs Tenn Post by: fyo on September 12, 2009, 08:12:24 am Gotta smile at that...you looked it up, noted that you looked it up, and still spelled it wrong<g> It's "Mendenhall." ;D Yeah, but that was just a typo ;) |
