A Tale

Of Two Seasons.

It’s over, coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb. How frustrating. Sunday was like a wake. Where was the enthusiasm we are used to? A win and we would sweep the division, no small feat, now that’s something to play for. Again the defense was weak, forget that Polamalu was not in the game, they just stunk up the house. The hapless Ravens ran and passed at will. Something is very wrong. Is it the players or the coaching? Are the players and LeBeau at odds with each other? What's Up! Inquiring minds want to know!

I do think that it was a good move on Tomlin’s part to rest Ben, Hines and Polamalu. Nobody expected the Raiders to beat the Chargers. Batch played well but it is now obvious that with Willie out the offence is in big trouble. Davenport only had 27 yards and we have no one on the roaster who can bring some speed at the ends. Forget the fourth quarter mini comeback, the Ravens defense went into my favorite, the dime package, rushing only three. That insured some points. Arians has his work cut out for him this week as he prepares for another round with the Jags. Time to get creative, but I’m not counting on it.

So as you settle in Saturday night don’t be expecting too much. I know I’m not, if the Steelers win I will be the most surprised person on the planet.

Happy New Year everyone!!
Go Steelers!!!
