Beer We Go Steelers

THE PRO BOWL

-The Steelers defense is first in yards allowed, second in points allowed and that garners count ’em, one pro bowl Starter, Troy Polamalu. The Ravens defense had you bet; FIVE, including Ray Lewis who has missed significant time and has been a non factor since he has been back. Joe Thomas from the Browns made it, watch this week as he holds Silverback on nearly every play and rides him like a whipping mule.

Congrats to Big Ben, Maurkice Pouncey, Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown on making the team as well.

Suspension Nonsense Part II

-Nice work by the NFL, James Harrison, our beloved Silverback, served a one game suspension last week for hitting Colt McCoy in the facemask with his helmet. The play was a penalty, the FIRST personal foul of the season for Silverback. It was the first time a suspension was handed out for hitting a player on the field in over 20 years. The suspension that was handed out, was completely arbitrary and draconian. Richard Seymour punches another player, not in the heat of battle but after the game. He also did this last year when the Steelers handed the Raiders a beat down and he punched Ben! No suspension is expected. This sends a great message from the league.

I agreed with Coach Tomlin on making everyone be quiet about it. That is what we as the fans are here for. The league is showing a huge double standard.

Also on the subject, nice work by the Browns who didn’t even know that Colt McCoy had a consussion and let him finish the game, he is doubtful for this week as he can’t pass the concussion test. Besides being fined by the league, Pat Shurmur should be horse whipped and thrown off the Moses Cleveland Statue!

Playoff Talk

-While we certainly can be be beaten, the team is not bullet proof, we can beat ANYBODY. So trust me no one wants to see the Steelers as they should be the toughest out on the AFC side.

-When picking out playoff teams, the best way to pick, is look at the QB, there is only one QB matchup that the Steelers lose in the AFC and that is to the Brady Bunch.  

-For the sake of all that is Holy, I want to beat the Patriots and I am begging for a rematch with the Packers! It still kills me thinking about what might have been!

The Steelers are a “mediocre” 4-3 on the road. After this week they should be 5-3. That is so lousy that it ranks second in the AFC behind the Evil Patriots. The invincible Ravens are 3-4 and could fall to 3 and 5, Sunday if we get our wish!
