Wow, did the Steelers look sloppy

[pezz97]

Dolfan, don't take this wrong I am a big Cutler fan, but since he arrived here, the bears are 1-7 against the pack. he is 1-6 as he missed last years finale against them.

[Dolfan]

The last couple of years the Packers rarely lost to anyone.

Pezz, certainly you are not placing blame on Cutler, right?  They can always try their luck with Campbell.

Looks like you can bet the house on the Ravens this week as Tomlin has stated their game plan is with Charlie Barch at QB 

Polamalu and Brown will be back this week but unless Ben plays or the defense pitches a shutout it won't matter ,and it looks like Tomlin is benching Wallace   

[Dolfan]

Heard some analysis this week that Batch is not reaching WRs with his throws.  That's bad news but a perfect time to bench Wallace if Charlie can't reach him!

Ravens' offense has also been dreadful lately so nothing's impossible.  If Ben can do anything now would be the time to take a chance, IMO.

I hope this don't turn out to be like the San Fran game last year when Ben came back to soon.
This game isn't as important as some might believe , the Afc is so bad you really only have 3 teams fighting for the 2 wildcard spots Indy ,Cincy and Pittsburgh so another loss this week without Ben isn't the end of the world .

No Not at all. Just stating the fact that the last 3 years they are 1-7 against them hence why I think the packers will win in 3 weeks and win the division

True.  I assume they still have a game left against Cincy.  So, yeah, they wouldn't be favored to win with Ben anyway.  Any truth to the rumor that they've called in Kordell Stewart, Mark Malone & Bubby Brister for tryouts?

I'm reserving my pick to see who's healthy.  The Pack that I saw the other night would have a hard time against Philly.  Okay, maybe I'm getting carried away but you get the gist. 

Tillman's ankle is okay & Greg Jennings will be back this week.  Assuming Clay, Jr. will play that leaves it up to Sam Shields for GB & Matt (don't call me Mike) Forte.

Isn't the NFL the best?

I wish !!

You know I have refrained from posting on this thread thus far, but must point out the obvious: the reason the Steelers looked so sloppy was the fact that they were playing the highly touted, always tough as nails Browns defense. Big Ben knew not to play Sunday for fear of losing his life.

 

[Mr. B]

Having lived through an entire season of having a ZERO at QB, I feel for the Steeler fans!

[Dolfan]

Yeah, Mr. B - one whole season!  Try a decade+.

Your right, if I was the opponate DB's and safety's I'd go 40 yards and THATS IT!!!! He can't throw farter than that!

[pezz97]

97 yard drive to lose the lead, miracle by cutler, and the D let's a rookie QB go right down the field again in OT to lose. Packers win the division. Bears still only have 1 win against a winning team. Nice Cover nobody prevent defense Lovie at the end of the game again!.

[Dolfan]

Where are the Tomlin haters today?

He made a statement benching Mendenhall & had that team so ripe to win today.  No other coach in the league beats Baltimore, with 23 points with a 3rd string washed-up QB.  And he missed a bunch of easy throws too!

Pezz, you gotta hang this one on the defense.  I didn't watch much of the game but you guys lost to Pete Carroll who jumps up & down like an idiot after every completion!

Still, the game with the Pack will come down to who's healthiest, IMO.  Jordy Nelson went down today.  Every time the Pack gets someone back, somebody else goes down.

Gotta love when Pittsburgh wins that people think Tomlin is the greatest thing since sliced bread
Lets not forget that Pittsburgh pushed the Ravens around with Leftwich and should have won that game also .

Baltimore is so overrated !!!  they should be on a 3 game losing streak .
