Maybe we need to go to the ravens site and rub it in to those assholes like they do us...wait...we are classier than that!!!

That's the way I wanted to see them win, with dominance, Seattle didn't even cross mid field except once. I still didn't see any real intensity, but it is the Seahawks and we were dominating most of the time. Ben was off on some throws, but overall had a good game, 22/30 w/ 298 passing yards, a touchdown, and no picks. He missed some throws and if he can reel in those throws, he will have huge games. Keisel played well, but I didn't see much pass rush, Harrison was a no show most of the game as was Woodley. I think that's bigger then what a lot of people think, with Woodley and Harrison no show's, we have no pash rush. Receivers got open, Mendenhall played well as did Redman, the D looks like they are back with the exception of the pash rush, Ben looked way better, we are definetly on the way up. Main things that bother me is how far off Ben was a few times and the lack of pass rush and pass blocking. The O line, horrible again, but that will not change this season. All said, great game, won it the way they should, like to see them work out the last few quirks and shut down the Manningless Colts like this.

We need to work on the big plays and using momentum to our advantage. More experience with the WRs and Ben will help this.

If we don't don't jump on them early and get the crowd out of it.....it could be another stressful game

YEa, that has always puzzled me, why we have a hard time defending Kerry Collins.


But anyway, good game this week. Like most people in the world, I expected us to beat Seattle. They're a bad team, but at least we made them look like a bad team. It's something. I'm mainly glad that Ben wasn't seriously injured. A lot of weaknesses still visible especially our o-line

the times kerry collins had good games vs us, he was on 2 super bowl contender teams. once on a giants team that eventually went to the super bowl (then loss to the ravens), and another on the titans who were the #1 seed. it's not so much collins vs us, but that team vs ours. I highly doubt he can lead the depleted colts vs us to a victory.

It doesnt matter who we beat, we did what good teams are supposed to do against bad teams - WIN! And it was a shut out. No matter how bad a team is it's still the NFL and shut outs are special. Great job Steelers!

Did Gay start? I watched the game at a bar and I never pick up on the little things when i'm not at home...

you won't until lebeau does a better job with the blitzes. they seem to be the same bland blitzes over and over. they need to run more stunts.

i don't think harrison will be a factor until he gets his strength/conditioning back. he isn't all over the field like has been in years past.
