Mendy with a niec little return there. 26 yards.

[thesteelhammer Profile]

3rd and 2.
We pass.
Don't really like that call.

result = sack #2 allowed

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Looks like we are going to go conservative to end the half.
2 TE set. run the ball.

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Texan player down.
Travis Johnson

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Steelers started out really hot.
But cooled off half way through the second quarter.

Lets hope they can come out of the half hot again.
But up some more quick points and get some of our key guys out of this game with out any injuries.

Would someone please tell the Steelers that the idea is at least to touch "Super Mario" Brother Wiliams. Great Scott! At least touch him Marvel.

Also, is Randy and Super Mario in bed together or what? I'm not sure how much more of the nut bag washing I can take.

indysteel,

Randi is dating Mario. They are still in the infatuation phase.

So I'm taking notes on the game. Not getting active in this thread.

I'll be sure to get all my notes together for a post-game synopsis for those that didn't get to watch the game.

My thoughts so far:

Willie up the middle doesn't work when done over and over and over... Although as we saw today, it'll eventually hit like a slot machine for some points.

The defense looks SOLID. They are getting decent pressure on the QB and making great open-field tackles.

Miller is probably our most consistent 'dangerous weapon'. He'll be giving defenses Hell in the middle of the field all season.

Special teams have started the season looking good. I'm really liking the squib kick on kickoffs. Fox is going to be a special teams monster too. Pretty sure about that.

Santonio made a nice grab for a 1st down.

Ward's offensive pass interference call was questionable at BEST.

Fat Casey is getting a good push and finding his way into the backfield. Anyone else like seeing him push his blocker into the running back? I did too.

Woodley is going to be a monster. So is Timmons. Both have looked good thus far.

THere's more, but the 2nd half just kicked off.

Here we go, Steelers! Here we go!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...

Here's to football!

[trenches Profile]

Mendy is doing a nice job taking what he can on KR duty.

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Ben limped off field, but starts 2nd half.

Nice opening run by FWP. 12 yards

looking forward to reading your post game write up.

O-line is getting nice push.

FWP has runs of 12, 9 & 8 so far this half.

[WoodsonOfSteel Profile]

Looks like I spoke too soon about Willie up the middle.

That's almost 30 yards in 3 runs up the middle.

Niiii-eeeece!

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Even Davis getting into act. Nice run after catch by Carey.

first and Goal

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Willie is killing my fantasy team and I it.

[Nel Profile]

21 rushes already for Parker, it's about time to put him on ice.

Was thinking the same thing, but torn about letting him get another 13 yards for the 100 yard game.

He'll get 25 carries, but no more, imo.

[trenches Profile]

I'm not sure why Mendy and Davis are taking the carries now.

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Parker is at 106 and just busted another long one.

Time to pull him for the day.
