Having 2 great CB's doesn't really help when the other team hardly passes the ball.
Who's the other one? I hope you're not talking about Cromartie. I've never been a big fan of him. Even less so now. Dude literally had four PI or defensive holding penalties. Single-handedly cost the Jets the game. *******.

Cromartie might not be as good as Revis, but he would still be the #1 CB on most NFL teams.
 
Damn you Big Ben.. almost lost the game for the Steelers. Pissed me off when the Colts were driving to tie it up at 20, it shows Ben on the sideline, and he is shaking his head like the Defense can't stop them. YOU gave them 10 points with your fumble and the INT before the end of the half. The Defense won this game so pull your head out.

Steelers always playing 'down' to their level and it pisses me off. You blow out a ****ty Seahawks team last week and then follow it up.

I guess I can't be too mad... a win on the road in the NFL is a win on the road.

Houston up next week and should be a real challenge!
 
Eagles have a bye week 7 so it looks like Vick will miss 3 games. He probably should not have played yesterday either as he was obviously not 100%.

Just as well - Eagles lost yesterday because Reid tried to force Vick to play conservatively. Vick needs to be Vick otherwise he's useless.

Those guys are in big trouble. Giving up over 5ypc to Addai while getting your QB tenderized is no way to return to the SB. That's a near-guaranteed Indy win if Painter had pulled his head out of his butt 1 possession sooner. Once he settled in he looked a lot better than Collins did.

Won't disagree with you completely... but...

Steelers did turn the ball over 3 times and only forced 1 (The Fumble/Touchdown).

The held them to 240 total yards of offense.

Shouldn't have been that close but after Big Ben got hit a few times by potentially the top 2 DE's in the league he got happy feet. The Steelers O Line is horrible and it was bad last year. That is the only reason I was pissed that Pouncy was selected by the Dolphins because he would have stepped in at RG next to his brother no problem. The Steelers have talent on the offensive side of the ball (Top 10 back in Mendenhall, Top 10 QB in Big Ben, Top 10 WR's - Wallace/Sanders/Ward/Brown, Underrated TE in Heath Miller) but the line is just brutal.

The only thing that concerns me on the defensive side of the ball is any injury to Polamalu. He is the gears that makes this defense work.
 
I will grant that the Pitts line looked almost as shaky before last season started too. But I've never seen Pig Ben look as scared as he was last night. On many plays he was running around looking for the DEs instead of receivers. Gonna be a long year for Benny, everybody has good pass rushers in the AFCN this season.

Maybe they can work a trade but it's just not easy to come up with a decent tackle on the fly. I don't think that defense is quite what it had been so far either. Can't really say what it is, but they aren't dominating. Might be some of those guys are feeling their age a bit.
