I like the Steelers 24-17. If Mendy is healthy and Dwyer is healthy, we have a great 1-2 punch at RB.
I was close to the score lol.

After over coming the refs in the 1st half, this team was great. They shut down Eli. Giants only had 182 yards of offense.

Really enjoying this Steeler victory. They didn't get salsa'd by Cruz. LOL

Mike Wallace has speed athletes dream of.

Still say it's a waste not to go deep to him twice a game.

He drops the ball way too much though.

I was just curious and looked it up. He's tied for 7th with 5.

Cruz and Calvin Johnson have more.

He needs to touch the ball more no doubt about it. They don't need to go deep all the time, although I wouldn't mind it, those short routes are money. I'm starting to come around regarding Haley and the O.

It started last year when Brown took off. Wallace was the best deep threat in the game and I like how they're going....but 2 times a game opens it up IF the run isn't working...right now it's really working.

Mendenhall is most likely done on this team.

Dwyer/Redman/Rainey/Batch is pretty nice.

I don't mind it.

He's a jackass anyway. Deuces!

Everyone they are putting in is working. Redman was my least favorite of the main 3....but he's ahead of Mendenhall after that game.

Rainey and Brown OK?

Redman - undrafted
Dwyer - 6th round
Rainey - 5th round
Batch - 7th round

If that isn't proof that you don't need to get a RB in the first round I don't know what is.


No word on either injury.

Ike Taylor has turned it around this season. He deserves a lot of credit as well.

God I hate to give it to him....he'll suck the next 4 weeks if I do.

He's an excellent tackling DB for sure.

Haha yeah...I'm not falling for this again.

I've gave him props several times throughout his time at Pittsburgh and I always end up taking it back.

When Ike plays bad he gets roasted but he doesn't get the credit that he deserves when he is playing well. I'm not saying he's great but his is under-appreciated when the defense is on their game.

I am hearing that Chris Rainey may have punctured a lung, any confirmation on that? Can't find a link.

Collinsworth always says how great he is and he's not great at all. He seems a touch above average.

When he is playing well we are tough to beat...but he has to minimize getting burnt.

Strange...but possible to how he reacted. Hopefully a very small puncture that heals itself and he comes back about week 11 or 12

Haven't seen that yet. But that really sucks if true. You could tell he was in a lot of pain.

Well...he'll not be himself until about Christmas.....he may play soon but will not be himself....Hines Ward-ish. Having Sanders and Cotchery helps....plus a great run game. Wallace can step up.
