Hey Ryan Clark - You Look Like You saw a Ghost!

Polamalu is over rated too.

Running around like a chicken with his head cut off.

Yep. He played very well for the first 2 or 3 weeks of this season. Since then, he has in fact been running around in the fashion you say. His forced fumble was pretty nifty though.

Troy's instincts are excellent. The issue is that, for whatever reason, they work against him with the Patriots, likely because Brady simply owns him when Pitt can't get to the QB. That happens with people. Sometimes someone just has an edge over someone else.

Agreed, Polamalu's still really good. He does look like he's lost a step, but who doesn't in their early 30s? He had more than a step to spare. He looked bad yesterday because Brady's always had his number.

Exactly. Matchups. It explains why some "bad" teams seem to give some good teams a hard time. Brady outside of one great LeBeau coaching job has always had the Steelers' number.

And before we rip Polo as over rated and over the hill too much, he DID strip the ball from Ridley enabling and energizing the Steelers' comeback to a tie.

He didn't see a ghost. It was a train wearing No. 47.

Many Steeler fans do not agree with you. Poly was there for 2 Super Bowl wins and is a fan favorite, but the writing is on the wall. Hes an aging Vet making 10 mil this year and 12 mil next.

The juice isnt worth the squeeze.

Troy Polamalu was hit with an offsides, personal foul, and pass interference call.
These fouls were probably forgotten because of the two TD's he allowed in coverage and several other long plays he gave up by gambling and guessing wrong. Troy is a fan favorite who has gotten a pass over the last few years. While we dogged Woodley for getting fat and lazy, we made excuses for Troy always being injured. Now that Polamalu is finally healthy, he is showing that he doesn't have it any more and is a liability in coverage. 8 more games as a Steeler for Troy. Hope this sock sucker gives us a few more good memories than bad to enjoy for the ages

Haven't been much of a fan of his since he and James Harrison joined in the "YOUZE GOTZ NO RINGS SINCE SPIEGAYTE!11!" piling on after the second Giants SB loss....
