Are the Steelers really that vulnerable without Troy Polamalu? Wow.

 

[Delicate Genius]

Chiefs are 2-0 since they got rid of that dbag Johnson.

When the Steelers did not convert on 3rd-and-2 on the Mendenahll run, the announcer immediately said "and the Steelers are forced to punt". My first thought was 'no' - that was an absolutely perfect example of when it would be a good idea to go for it on 4th down. I think it was 4th-and-4 for the Steelers on the Chiefs 38. You are too far out for a FG (about 55 yards), but you are also too close for a punt. Sure enough the punt went into the end zone and Pittsburgh only picked up 18 yards of field position.

I wonder if Tomlin just "played it by the book" of conventional thinking - or if he was in any way swayed by the backlash of public opinion from last week's decision by Belichick to go for it.

Wow, not only did Big Ben appear to get a concussion yesterday, according to Adam Schefter, the back up, Charlie Batch needs wrist surgery and is out for six weeks. The 3rd QB is Dennis Dixon, who has thrown one pass in his NFL career.

Kind of feels like karma for the Steeler fan who created the "Marcus Pollard Fan Club" shirt last year...just saying...
