Kickoff Thursday Dolphins/Steelers discussion thread

Before the game I thought Miller would be Charlie's safety blanket and he has only thrown to him...what twice?

 

[jct]

BB would not pay a backup starter salary (Traylor).

 

[SaCaCh]

Holy hold not called on that!!

 

[Richter]

I like Nate Washington. Kid has wheels, nice acceleration, showed sweet hands on that screen play and the touchdown catch, and runs hard when he has the ball. He'd look good in a Patriots uniform.

 

[Aldogg]

The typical Steeler gadget play helps them get the first. Nice drive and I thought Parker was going to score it there.

3 minutes to go in Boise, 42-14 Boise State over Oregon State, I switch over to catch the 4th quarter - suddenly Madden starts talking and I'm having severe Erin Andrews withdrawal.
And the stupid Steelers kill their drive with a fumble, sheesh.

 

[mgcolby]

that didn't just happen? WTF ************** ***********

 

[Richter]

Wow. How on earth can the Steelers botch goalline plays so often? They can't even blame it on Bettis' fat ass this time.

 

[Keegs]

They deserve to lose for that fumble.

Wow i can still win with the under.

 

[Seymour93]

Because Wilfork is better and younger?

OR

Because if BB had kept both Traylor and Wilfork there wouldn't be enough doughnuts to go around at team meetings.

either one makes sense to me.

Wilfork is younger but not much better (if at all). Perhaps BB is regretting letting Traylor go. Granted the retirement of TJ and Bruschi's injury hurt our run D, the nose tackle is still a crucial position and last year Wilfork had his moments. It would've been nice to have Traylor as backup instead of watching him start and play well for a division rival.

 

[PaulNEPats]

lol, both teams look pretty bad.

 

[DefenseRules]

Well let's hope our back up QB can handle the ball better if he's ever needed.

 

[Aldogg]

Batch blows the points and puts the ball on the ground. 80 yard, 8 minute drive for nothing.

 

[p8ryts]

All I hear is what a great blocker Hines Ward is. Well, from what I see he is great at holding and nobody calls it.

 

[VJCPatriot]

LoL way to choke Steelers. They are giftwrapping this win for the Fins. And after the zebras were kind enough to save their drive earlier on too. This has to make "the Chin" furious!

 

[flutie2phelan]

They would have called it if a Patriot defender did that. Heck they would call it if he didn't.

Ah, someone else who doesn't forgive ... and forget.

 

[lobster]

Nice play by Polamalu, who is playing LB again.

 

[Richter]

Wow, Daunte does his best Bledsoe impression and nearly gives the Squeelers a pick-six.

 

[SVN]

its the first game...all teams are going to be rusty.

 

[sieglo]

Geez, could Manning have more endorsement deals? What a whore.
