OUCH!

When is a win not a win? When you lose the number one running back in the NFL! Big Loss heading into the playoffs. This should cause Tomlin to rethink his game plans, I hope. Even Gumball (by the way the worst broadcast crew on TV) and company commented all night on how many times Ben has been sacked this year.

41 to 24 looks impressive on the box score, but remember it’s the Rams. They should not have scored at all. Some low percentage catches and some creative scrambling accounting for all the points on offence. Two sacks, the first since the beginning of the month, a fluke interception and some dropped passes just barley held the Rams to 24. Watching the defense is like watching water run through a sieve. I couldn’t help wondering if there are problems on defense we aren’t aware off. Two weeks in a row now the defense has been beat with draw plays on third and long it makes me wonder! I still don’t like the defensive play calling but maybe, just maybe, the play calling is being dictated by some unknown situation.

I will say it now, 10 and 5 for Coach Tomlin’s first year is impressive. Big Ben showed he belongs in the NFL and should quiet the broadcasters who thought he was a one year wonder. I just don’t see the current scheme carrying the Steelers very far into the playoffs and now with Parker on the sideline the chances of a Super Bowl look dim.

But first we need to deal with the hapless Ravens. Hay, they lost to Miami! We should clean their clock. Some how though you just know the Steelers will make it nail biting and nerve racking!

GO STEELERS!!
