if we are going to judge teams with wishful thinking(likemany of you judged the steelers

) i see the steelers easily winning the afc north

cleveland still stinks, it appears that quinn is afraid to throw downfield and sticks with short passes to fullbacks and tight ends

cincinatti sucks, there is no other way to judge a team that loses to the dysfunctional broncos

balimore's defense looks shaky, 24 points to a bottom feeding chiefs team that started a backup qb

steelers will continue to RIDE!

WHO RIDE?

WE RIDE!!!!

Did you read about the 38 points along with over 500 yards of offense? Score would have been 38-17 if not for a blocked punt in the enzone. The Ravens held the Chiefs to 188 yards of offense. Or how about Flacco throwing for 307 yards and three touchdowns?

Like the title of your thread says...it's week 1.

I'd be more worried about Big Ben lasting 16 games without injury if I were you. The guy is going to get hurt with his style of play. It's only a matter of time, even though I hope it doesn't happen.

hey bro i just started this thread because many here were judging the steelers based on one week

at this point in the season big ben is healthier than he was last year, mario williams injured his shoulder in week 1

I didn't judge the Steelers. I thought they played well and they beat a top tier team. Just thought the running game was bad and the O-line looked shaky against he blitz.

i didn't see the bengals game, i flipped back and forth between the ravens and browns game when i made this thread

just saw how the bengals lost, wow that can only happen to them

that should be two easy wins for the good guys in black and gold

Nice start for the Gmen.d was pretty good and the new receivers stepped up and made some plays

...they need to do a better job converting on third and fourth and 1.they also need to score more td's when they get into the red zone.

How is Nicks foot? That was an unfortunat injury. Eli made some great throws. Def looked dominate.

Urlacher is out for the year with a disclocated wrist.

Out for the year? Why can't they put a cast on his wrist, wait a few weeks, and get back in the lineup?

His knees and legs are healthy, right? Sure, it won't look pretty and he won't be able to pick off INT's but why can't he still play?

Earl, stop being a baby

I prefaced all my statements with: I know "it's only game one".... or ended them with " I wouldent be shocked if I was wrong, but".

Ditto. You should see problems in the secondary tonight. I suspect it will take 3 or 4 games for the kids to "get it". Thankfully they have Springs and Bodden to bridge the gap.

The Steelers should eat Cutler alive.

my thoughts on the pats

not impressed, 24 points to the bills who typically stink

i swear i knew mckelvin was going to fumble that return, just had a feeling

steelers played the bills in the 3rd preseason game where both played the starters for the first half, steelers completely dominated

i have to say the steelers look better, after week 1

HOLY SHIT the bills gift wrapped that one for the pats. not just the fumble but the horrible clock management as well.

The Showstoppa · « **Reply #14 on:** September 14, 2009, 07:19:55 PM »

The Pats have some problems on the offensive line too. A Bills defense that lost Pudzynski and a DT kept their offense under control all night. Brady was getting hammered.

And that guy on the Bills......wow.....how can he even look his teammates in the eye after that?

headhuntersix · « **Reply #15 on:** September 14, 2009, 07:20:22 PM »

It took Brady awhile to get going...D had issues with the damm run as usual. Edwards was able to move around a bit early and make some things happen. Secondary played better then last year and friggen Merryweather is hitting people. Oh yeah...dump Maroney...forget it. I know Body, the line had its issues, but he started his tap dancing shit again. One more thing...Faulk needs a pay raise and they should clone him.

He got sacked once and the pats ran 76 plays to the bills 48. Don't confuse Brady standing in the pocket and taking shots with a poor line. The pats line was the best line in football in 2007, and it sent four players to the pro bowl. Brady is still green from his injury, and some of his protection calls were poor. He was normal in the second half, and I'll bet you the pats have one of the best o lines in the NFL at the end of the year. It's going to take some time for them to get in sync with Brady, again.

Nice win, but the Pats ob have some rust to work off.

The pats dominated every stat there was. I'd say the pats gift wrapped it for the bills. So many dropped passes and gaffs by the pats in the first half. Cleary the pats have some rust on them, but I'm pretty happy with how the secondary played, and by the second half Brady was not longer skittish and he was pounding the coverage. Welker looked really rusty. They will look much better week two.

All that time Welker missed preseason really fucked with his timing. All in all I was pretty happt with the game. The Bills played great.

stats are worth nothing when youre up 5 points.

the moron decided he wasnt going to kneel and run it 5 yards out of the endzone.

then, with almost a minute left on the clock and 2 TO's all they needed was 20-30 yards to get in fg range.

Only problem was the Bill O line gave up three straight sacks when it mattered most. Bottom line, if anyone "gave away" the game it was the pats. They dominated every phase of the game, and they left many points on the table. Dropped passes, bad plays - etc. I don't buy into that stuff, but It's the truth.

On a side not, the Raiders just got SCREWED. The refs have been brutal so far this year. I'm not going to bring up the sack Wilfork got screwed on.

how about the roughing the qb play against the pats?

apparently you can't sack a qb anymore

It was pretty bad. I'd say the same if that was the steelers and they sacked Brady. I'd say the Steelers did nothing wrong. Both calls were total horseshit. You hit a guy clean at the waist and there should be no issue. The Wilfork call was insanity.
