Like it says, musings about the Steelers
For the second week in a row the Steelers' defense dominated a game only to yield the game winning score with only seconds remaining. And, for the second week in a row, the offense looked productive in the first half only to sputter in the second.
The Steelers had to have their kicker uncharacteristically miss two field goals, have Big Ben toss a horrific interception and give up two late scoring drives to lose that game. Any two of those would be unusual enough but to have all three coincide on the road against a solid football team is rare.
Or better yet, stuff the run, pound the rock and protect your quarterback. Time to kick this season off in good fashion.
Former NFL journeyman quarterback and Super Bowl winner Trent Dilfer recently ranked the QBs active in the NFL today. I'm shocked by the results.
After watching the Buffalo game replay on the NFL Network I’m convinced that training camp served it’s purpose and there’s nothing more to learn from the final preseason game than who gets the last few roster spots. Big Ben seemed in mid-season form as he completed over 75% of his attempts in a very Roethlisberger-like performance. It’s what we Steelers fans have come to expect and generally what is delivered. I’m ready to declare that…
Who's making the cut? Who's on the bubble? Who's pushing for a roster spot that wasn't on our radar a month ago? Position group by group we'll look at who sticks and who doesn't.
It was enjoyable to see the draft picks and new players suit up and show their stuff last night and it will be fun to learn more about these prospects as the preseason continues.
