Playcalling from the Titans was crap.

And yes, Big Ben will eventually get hurt, just like the game against the Browns last season...

So can we narrow AFCCG rivals down to Baltimore/Indianapolis/San Diego now?

1.) Last night was a battle between two of the best defenses in the league.

2.) Tennessee's special teams cost them the game. The long snapper and holder will be putting in a lot of extra time this week.

3.) Roethlisberger is the 3rd best QB in the NFL. His ability to move around and his willingness to take a beating buy time for his receivers to get open, despite the weak offensive line he's playing behind.

4.) The Steelers defense will slow down in a couple of weeks, and that's when they'll really miss having a safety that can cover the entire field.

5.) Collins throws passes that look slow, but they're getting where they need to go. If he had quality receivers, that offense could be dynamic.

6.) The absence of Haynesworth showed itself more and more as the game went on. Not surprisingly, he was a big loss for that Titans D-line. I expect that New England will use a similar game plan to what the Steelers used to defeat them. Expect lots of passing and Kevin Faulk to spend a lot of time in the backfield.

Yeah, kinda funny when you LOOK at it.

4.) The Steelers defense will slow down in a couple of weeks, and that's when they'll really miss having a safety that can cover the entire field. With Troy not playing, and knowing it ahead of time, Dick Lebeau should be able to game plan well enough to protect us against not having Troy for a couple games.

5.) Collins throws passes that look slow, but they're getting where they need to go. If he had quality receivers, that offense could be dynamic. No kidding, they had a couple Key Drops too that really helped my defense get off the field in critical 3rd down situations. If the Titans had stud receivers, we could have been in huge trouble.

6.) The absence of Haynesworth showed itself more and more as the game went on. Not surprisingly, he was a big loss for that Titans D-line. I expect that New England will use a similar game plan to what the Steelers used to defeat them. Expect lots of passing and Kevin Faulk to spend a lot of time in the backfield.

I almost wish that the Steelers would have just ran the no huddle the entire game. Once we started spreading things out agains that defense and they continued to only rush 4, Ben ate them alive.

You mean the INT that he made while falling on his back with one hand? Granted the throw was not the greatest in the world, but that was an amazing catch. Its not like he was Neal O'Donnell in the Superbowl.

I hope it really is a sprain and not something worse. I don't like the Steelers, but I do like Polomalu... despite the fact that he hasn't hit puberty yet.

i don't think you guys looked so spectacular last night for being the defending super bowl champs. you had no running game and collins was picking apart your secondary even with polamalu. your defense was stout. but your offense was not so great. last night confirmed that ben is an up and down qb. his receivers bail him out over and over again. if the titans D coordinator had any brains then you would have lost. the ravens are going to win that division. sorry.
