In case you missed it, there was a superman sighting during the game list night!!
Troy played top notch but in my opinion was just a cog in a much bigger more distructive wheel that was the Steelers "Big Time" defense. At this point in the season you could easily pickup 3 linebackers and a saftey and place them directly in the Pro Bowl!
1. Harrsion - 20 Tackles, 3 Sacks, 2 Forced Fumbles, 1 Fumble Recovery
2. Woodley - 8 Tackles, 2 Sacks, 1 Forced Fumble, 1 INT
3. Timmons - 26 Tackles (3rd in the NFL), 1 Forced Fumble, 8 Huge Hits (my count not official)
4. Polamalu - 11 Tackles, 2 INTS (Not to mention superman plays in run support and 13 passes defensed)
I know it is early folks for Peter King is looking like a genius. If you are not aware, the Steelers are his pick to win the Superbowl this year.
After the first 2 weeks of the season the team MVP without a doubt is Ben Roethlisberger.
This is not a joke for slight to Ben in any way. His issues and suspension have caused the Steelers to rally around anyone who is attempting to play QB for them. I could have taken the field yesterday and came away with my first NFL win as a QB.
The offense is in shambles, I couldn't even tell you who was playing where on the o-line yesterday. Hell, I think Legersky was in there at some point. The fact the Mendenhall got 69 yards is nearly a miracle!! Holes....not one to be found. Open receivers everywhere, our QB's couldn't find them but they were there. It was like the hardest game of "Where's Waldo" I have every seen. If the QB looked left, all of the open receivers were on the right. They look right and they are on the left...it was CRAZY!! I stopped yelling at them half way through the second quarter. I just started feeling bad for them. I just have to assume that they were afraid for their lives back there behind what we were selling as an offensive line. Could you imagine how happy the Batch family is that he got out of there alive??
The defense is something to behold. I was looking forward to our offense punting just so I could watch that machine work. It is clear to me that everyone on the defense understands that if they don't win the games....games are not going to be won until Ben returns. If this defensive trend continues when Big Ben gets back in the line-up, I will have no choice but to book my Superbowl tickets.
BTW...Best running back in the league??? I think not. I love the line soo much.......
Chris Johnson - 16 carries - 34 yards........HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Barry Sanders is safe and Chris..just look to the Vikings if you really want to see the best back in the league.
Bring on the Bucs next week.
2-0 AFC NORTH LEADER!!
