RG is a little quick on pressure plays but Redskins fans should be very happy.

Bend but don't break.

This Skins team is going to knock a big shot or two over this season.

And Hall has been tossed for telling the ref to fuck off about 4 times.

Good win that was helped along by Washington's receivers sucking ass. Offense was efficient and the defense really did a good job limiting the Skins.

Nice to put pressure on Baltimore by winning while they were off. With their injury problems, I'd like to see how they react to close competition in the division. To see if that performance against Houston was a fluke or if they could be crumbling a bit. If it's the latter, I'd want to immediately put pressure on, so they don't have any cushion or margin for error.

Got a call around 8pm sat night from my brother in pittsburgh...had 4 free club seats on the 50 for this one.....but was just too late for me to make arrangements to make the 620 mile round trip!
Guess I got to stay warm and dry at home watching it!


I think this steelers team can make a long run. the three game stretch with balt twice and Clev will tell us alot. Clev record is horrid, but they are a team that keeps it close and very well could knock off the steelers, an dmost likely WILL knock them off, and a loss @ baltimore and that is 2 of 3 game stretch

Solid W, but I'm not getting my hopes up yet. The latest ESPN article was praising Dwyer, which is deserved, but they acted like he could be the spark needed to get back on track.

Umm....what about the god awful defense? If the Skins didn't drop 50 balls yesterday it could have been a different game. Regardless, I'm happy with the win, just keep it up.

Dwyer runs the ball like nothing is given to him and that he has to earn each and every carry he gets. The kid has a motor and runs the ball hard, something that steelers fans have always loved. Kid runs each time like it is 4th and 2 in the super bowl.

Once the Steelers get healthy at RB, look out.

They aren't hurting much there. Mendenhall will give a nice change to Dwyer...but Dwyer and Rainey aren't too shabby.

Still iffy? Manning was like 10-24, and the Giants had what...less then 200 yards offense?

I am glad to see that they have found a way to get the running attack going but keep the passing attack in high gear. Even tho the TOP has been good fro the steelers even in the Arian offense, I like the toughness that running the ball gives to a team. They are not giving it just a token effort like BA did, and I think it is paying off. Under BA they couldnt run the ball when they needed to, and now they can and it doesnt matter who is back there. This offense may not put up some of t

Umm, they were a bit "iffy" during the Redskins game.

They looked a lot better yesterday. Not sure why you bumped this thread though.
