First and foremost I apologize for the delay in posting. I am traveling this week for my day job and have been unable to post.<\/p>\n
The game itself was obviously disappointing and because of the delay in this post I am going to refrain from a game summary and try and hit on some things. First and foremost after last season it is extremely easy to panic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am here to write DON’T Panic. Losing to the Super Bowl champs whose season was hanging by a thread in their own building is nothing to be ashamed of. The Steelers missed SEVERAL key opportunities and really never put their best foot forward.\u00a0At the end of the day the Saints\u00a0made the plays and the Steelers didn’t. Heath Miller fumbling was a shock and an aberration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is obvious that the Offense is far from in synch. Ben looked downright confused and off kilter,\u00a0I feel dialing up the Bengals this week is just what the Dr. ordered! This is a statement game for Ben. He needs to shake off the rust and smack up the Bengals. Last season the Steelers gave away the win in Cincy while playing downright putrid in Pittsburgh. (I know I was there.) The Bengals are a team in serious need of a win and in a\u00a0greater need of a beating. The Steelers need to beat teams like the Bengals and this week will prove where they are at in the season. A win here also basically eliminates the Bengals from playing anymore meaningful games this season! This couldn\u2019t happen to a nicer bunch of smack talking loudmouths!! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was another week another freakin’ fine for James Harrison. This week it was 20K!\u00a0For those keeping score at home that is 95K in fines in three weeks! Seriously, I had no issue with the flag being\u00a0called as it was a “late hit”. Certainly, it was NOT\u00a0dirty and Harrison clearly let up, otherwise Brees would have been looking through his ear hole!\u00a0\u00a0Brees didn’t even hit the turf for goodness sake. HOW\u00a0DOES THAT WARRANT 20K?\u00a0This is such\u00a0nonsense I was livid when I heard it! Again, BWG supports James Harrison 100%!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I am confident that Aaron Smith will be back now. I was skeptical at first and of course we are pulling for him as he is true BWG! We took an awful risk here and I am sure Aaron will do it for us. I also\u00a0like Ziggy Hood and he played well his first week! He did us all proud!<\/p>\n
I look for the defense to have a “bounce back” game against the Bengals. I look for Ben to light up the Bengals defense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This is the week the Steelers have been waiting for!\u00a0Next week also marks the halfway point in the season. We will do a full half season review! \u00a0<\/p>\n
