Kinda late in the game to start a thread, but with the hoopla regarding the other site, the game's been lost.

Steelers leading 7-3, tough game. Guess Orton is human after all, playing the Steelers tends to knock people off their high horses quite a bit.

As much as I hate the F-ing things, tons of towels in Denver tonight.


Also, as I type P-burgh was driving and Ayers runs a fumble back for a TD. 9-7 Denver, PAT coming...

When Big Ben has time, he's a top 5 or 6 QB in this league.

Steelers offense has dominated the Broncos defense so far in this 3rd and the defense has been stout.

if denver doesn't send 6 + they aren't getting consistent pressure. which is not good. Ben is great when he's upright.

also, denver cannot stop mendenhall.

big pick by goodman in the endzone. penalty on the return, denver ball on the Steeler 10.

ben missed the throw or ward ran the wrong route.

On nights after consuming too many beverages I have been known to utter such idiotic statements such as

I hate the Steelers more than Al-Qaeda.

While outlandish, and regrettable, I would be remiss if I didn't say I hate the Steelers.

Denver is not trying anything. just screens and runs. they look scared, like they've lost all faith in Orton.

berger, 24 yard punt. Steelers ball, with the lead and great field position ball game. I'm calling it.

Polamalu 2 big plays in a row, including a pick. Steeler ball 25, going in.

That's why denver wasn't throwing down field a bit ago.

Steelers just scored as I typed, big Ben to Mike Wallace. 21-10 P-burgh.

also sounds like gunfire outside of my hotel room.

As a bengals fan, I was hoping Denver could pull this one out.

Steelers did look good. I think they beat Cincy next week by 10+.

I agree. Steelers are clicking bigtime(as much as that pains me to say).

Pittsburgh is getting hot right when Championship teams need to get hot. Mendenhall absolutely ran through one of the leagues best run defenses, and Ben doesn't seem to let anything get to him. I think they beat Cincy by a TD or more.
