Beer We Go Steelers

Stealing the famous quote from the father of the Terrible Towel, the Steelers were “El Stinko” last night. They racked up injuries and they looked disjointed completely. They certainly don’t look ready to start the season and they need to get back to work.

What went wrong:

1. INJURIES!!! Le’Veon Bell showed flashes in his brief outing, but was injured after only four carries, this was on top of Larod Stephens-Howling(GUY NEEDS A NICKNAME) and Ike Redman not dressing for the game. The Steelers also lost Will Johnson to a rid injury on a nasty hit and Baron Batch to a stinger.

2. The offensive line was AWFUL. They had no answers for the Redskins pass rush and just looked lost and confused. They also racked up a mile in penalty yardage and stopped nearly every drive that the Steelers had momentum. Last week they pushed the Giants around the field, this week they got pushed around.

3. The Steelers were 1 for 13 on third downs. Most of that can be attributed to the O-line woes.

4. Three first half turnovers by mostly the first team offense. AWFUL

What went right:

1. NOT MUCH

2. Big Ben played well considering the pressure he was under. I know he threw a pretty lousy pick six but he played fairly well and it is obvious the offense is plain vanilla right now.

3. There was a LaMarr Woodley sighting! He creamed the Redskins right tackle Polumbus and had some nice push up front!

Player who distinguished himself: No one that is worth mentioning. Seriously, it would have been Dwyer if he didn’t fumble.

Player who is in trouble: It is unfair but he is back in this spot, Jon Dwyer carried most of the load and made some nice plays, BUT HE PUT THE BALL ON THE GROUND!!! It ruined what would have been a big night for him.

Beer of the game: IC Light, my local distributor gets it now for us!

Coach Tomlin summed it up best again, “we need to get better in a hurry.”

BEER WE GO STEELERS, BEER WE GO!
