Just heard that Wood is out for Thurs.

Much as I think Mundy sucks, he couldn't avoid the helmet contact on that (clean) hit.

Both of those Personal Foul calls were bullshit, IMHO.

I don't think Mundy's hit was intentional or a PF.  Clark's was definitely intentional and a PF.

+1.  Stupid move by Ryan, who otherwise had a sound game.

Running back Rashard Mendenhall was able to run for 5.8 yards per carry, and the protection they offered Roethlisberger was priceless.

That came after Steelers line coach Sean Kugler ranted at his men prior to a practice last week.

“He said he was embarrassed that we were ranked No. 32 in rushing in the league and that we should be embarrassed, too,” Colon said. “We’re talking about the Steelers, not the Saints. We’re supposed to be able to run the ball. We were responsible for that ranking, we had to own up to it and we had to do something about it.

“I like to think we did.”

D'OH!

Chicken and egg argument.  Better OL play?  Addition of Mendy?  Bad rush D by Philly? 

Still, we almost tripled our rushing output.  So let's keep that shit up, mmmkay?
