The Steelers have not changed a single thing on their offense and somehow expect that the rest of the league has not watched any film.
How many years did they not change anything on defense and let Brady carve away?

Ben seems to have his mind elsewhere...maybe a beach in the South Pacific.


Skirmishes after every 3rd or 4th play it seems. My favorite was the Pittsburgh kickoff return guy getting upset with the Bengal who dared to legally knock him OOB. The officials need to stop the extracurriculars in a hurry, given the history of these 2 teams.

People can throw out any stats about Tomlin's success that they want, but that fact that he was complicit in allowing Antonio Brown become the sideshow he became in Pittsburgh and he's not putting a complete stop to JuJu dancing on opponents' logos is just ridiculous to me.

Wallowing in schadenfreude feels so good this soon after the Pat’s postseason demise.

I am shocked at how godawful Pittsburgh looks. I knew they weren't 16-0 good, but they look much worse than the Patriots right now. And that's saying something.

This year Steelers team reminds me of last years pats team.
I can definitely see that, though the Pats seemed more dominant for much of last season. Even when they were winning, the Steelers weren't exactly blowing people away. They had a mid-season stretch where they barely held on vs Titans, beat the Ravens thanks to a couple timely turnovers (Baltimore controlled much of the game), had to come back from a 10-point 4th-quarter deficit vs a horrendous Cowboys team, and eked out a Wednesday win vs a seriously depleted Ravens team to limp to 11-0. Have to give them credit for finding a way to pull out those close wins, but they were clearly flawed - and just like last year's Pats, are heading in the wrong direction at the wrong time.

I didn't watch the first half, but I assume it looked a lot different than what I'm seeing now. Steelers look great so far, 3 possesions out of halftime.

Ben looked like he was trying to throw the game in the 1st half.

Clock seems to have struck midnight early for Finley here in the 2nd half.

Couldn't be a free play, Griese, once the RT jumped up before the snap to get the encroachment flag thrown.

What is the record for rushing yards by a white QB? Finley is over 100, maybe Tebow? Its pretty rare for a QB to go over 100.

Bobby Douglas ran for 117 in a 1972 game, the year he ran for 968 yards ... first name that came to mind
