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.

Unfortunately there is no tackle that the Steelers can get on the fly.. we have to hope that our rookie develops and they can hold up like last year.

One positive is if they can get through the first 9 games or so the back end of our schedule is very favorable. If they can get to lets say 6-3 through 9 then I can see them going 12-4 - enough for at least a wildcard and come the playoffs its a crapshoot anyways.

[Brown Notes]

Cheifs are DOA. Rams can't win much until Bradford has somebody to throw to. I wouldn't pencil in the others. 9ers are leading their division and just barely lost to Dallas. They are sporting a +18 differential. Not a cupcake. The Bengals, I was impressed with Dalton in Week 1, Green is really good and their DEs are super athletic. Both of those teams have legit weapons and good players on D.

I won't brag on my Brownies too much until we beat you. I'll just say the gap is looking smaller and closing. Really glad to be playing all the tougher looking games late in the season.

At the time I posted, 3-4 weeks was the most recent news. Matt Maiocco (49ers beat writer) retweeted the news from Pro Football Talk. It's still up in the air if he will play this Sunday.

How did Baltimore lose to Tennessee last week... Are the Titans really that good?

Having a veteran QB like Hasselback helps.

Not without Britt they won't be.

The Britt/CJ/Washington/Cook was a very strong core of weapons. No Britt means they're now pretty much mediocre in that regard.

They are keeping him clean too. He was really good in Seattle when they had that great line.

Can someone help me understand why the hell the Seahawks would trade Hasselbeck and then replace him with Tavaris ****ing Jackson?

For ****s sake, the Romo love is absurd. The Cowboys won, barely, at home, because The Redskins suck *** - they may win 4 more games the rest of the year.

Sadly my Phins over Thanksgiving will be one of those wins, the game will go similar to the 9'ers game they'll do enough to show they could've and should've won but then do/have several stupid mornic things in succession to remind you why they lose.

I meant The Redskins will only win 4 more games the rest of the season.

Every year there are a couple of fake good teams that start the season 2-0 - this year Washington was one of those teams.

I got the Cowboys at 9 or 10 wins.

The Dolphins have problems. Henne can't run the offense in a short field; which is unforgivable when you have Brandon Marshall as your #1 WR and a solid TE like Fasano. Bush has been God awful. Lucky for Miami it looks like Daniel Thomas could be a servicable feature back - otherwise their entire running game would be totally F'ed.
