Beer We Go Steelers

After putting together a fourth-quarter comeback to take a seven-point lead, the Steelers allowed the Tennessee Titans to score twice in the final four minutes, 26-23, and won the game on Rob Bironas’ 40-yard field goal with no time left. It was a huge disappointment as BWG was in attendance.

Ben Roethlisberger passed for 363 yards, including an 82 yard bomb to Mike Wallace that broke Terry Bradshaw’s career passing yardage record with the Steelers. I figured this out YESTERDAY as I helped my daughter with a school report, so I didn’t even get to celebrate it. He has 28,066 in his career; Bradshaw 27,989. Congrats to Big Ben!

It was an utterly terrible game by the defense, who couldn’t hold any of the leads they were given. Ike Taylor was crushed by the refs on several calls. The secondary was diced up by a less than stellar passing attack of the Titans. Keenan Lewis dropped what would have been the game clinching interception.

The Titans, who lost the last four games by 21 points or more, kept the Steelers on their heels all game and they made the big plays when needed.

It was truly a lousy performance and the worst I can remember under Mike Tomlin. They now have close to 10 days off to try and right the ship.

BEER WE GO STEELERS, BEER WE GO!

My “GAME BEER” goes to: Shaun Suisham for belting a 52 yard field goal. He also gave it a hell of a boot on the 54 yarder, even though he came up short. I have been critical of Suisham, but I have to give him credit. Also considered, NO ONE! Seriously this game sucked that bad.

Where I watched the game: At LP field with my friends Teri(Who wore the BWG colors), Don and my buddy Taki. Taki came up with a chant to drive the home crowd crazy. The place was packed with Steeler fans and we drowned out the Titan’s fans most of the day. The Titans management handed out some bootleg Pro Breast Cancer Towel to compete with the Terrible Towel. Seriously they are Pro breast cancer down there!!!

My Stat of the week: The Titans were 9-16 on 3rd down. They also crushed the Steelers defense in the 4th quarter.

My thoughts on Next Week: I couldn’t come on here and predict a win. I think the Steelers will muster one more fight and HOPEFULLY will play the Starting defense. Buckle up!

Quick hits are coming tomorrow. LOTS to catch up on.
