Look folks, let's no sugar coat this thing, the Steelers are for real.
The defense is incredible as we all can see but has anyone noticed that the offensive line is playing upto SuperBowl form without the normal starters in the lineup?
Sure Charlie B. tossed a wonderful game and is rightfully getting his share of the glory as the QB of an undefeated team in the NFL.
Let's discuss the offensive line for a moment shall we?
Did anyone even notice the O-Line this week? Only a person who was actually paying attention to the game with specific interest in the line would have. There are only a couple of times during a game when a casual fan would think about the line.
1. When there was a horrible blown blocking assignment
2. When there is a penality called on them
Neither of these things happend on Sunday. As a matter of fact there wasn't a single offensive penality called against the Steelers the entire game. INCREDIBLE!!!
Does anyone know who Doug Legursky or Tony Hills are? If you are a Tampa Bay D-linemen or linebacker you will not be forgetting them any time soon. They are the "backups" that filled in due to injury for the Steelers o-line and essentially "ATE THEIR LUNCHES"!!
Behind that ragtag group of blockers who mostly haven't played together all seaon or likey even in camp, Mendenhall was able to put up some good numbers and got into the endzone again. He is finally coming into the form that we all hoped he would when he was drafted #1 a couple of years back.
MUCH LOVE TO THE O-LINE THIS WEEK!! BATCH AND MENDENHALL SHOULD BE BUYING YOU ALL DINNER!!!
While I would love for the Steelers to go out on Sunday and put a whoopin on the Ravens; a couple of things happen if that comes true.
1. The last time a Steelers team started 4-0 was in 1979. They went on to win their fourth SuperBowl in six years. SCARY!!
2. Power ranking issue.
Only a whack-a-do like me would even think of this but in the modern era the Steelers have been #1 in NFL power rankings several times but they have never been #1 for 3 consequtive weeks and won a Superbowl. If they beat the Ravens and go into the bye week there is a good chance they would hit the 3 week barrier.
All to hell with it....KICK THE SHIT OUT OF THE RAVENS!!
GO STEELERS!!
