Steelers vs. Bills @ Toronto Preseason Game 2

[Jmat]

Well, the Steelers had something going but a holding call on Justin Hartwig on 3rd and 1 hurt. Then the next play holding on Willie Colon and Ben scrambled and threw the pick.

The O-Line with a rough start.

[Steelerman]

Defense getting slapped.

[Jmat]

Buffalo's offense is moving nicely. Marshawn Lynch running hard. Casey Hampton starting.

[Steelerman]

I posted in another thread:

Listen to the Pittsburgh broadcast at www.dve.com

[Jmat]

Lynch is running through this D.

[Jmat]

Hampton is being handled. The D looks awful.

First and goal for Buffalo at the 8

[Jmat]

Good play by Hampton on Lynch

[Vindrow]

Neither the offense or the defense is looking good right now.

[Jmat]

TD Buffalo. Nice throw and catch.

[Steelerman]

The offense was fine until the dumb penalty.

[Vindrow]

The offense was fine until the dumb penalty.


Sometimes all it takes is a penalty to throw the offense off.

[Balls&YourWord]

Nice effort from Carter and Foote on that TD pass... ugh.

[NC_Steel]

did anyone else see lynch holding onto woodley for dear life on the TD pass?

[Jmat]

The Steeler D looks lost.

Now lets see if the O-Line looks any better. Ben looked good until that pick but that was the result of trying to make a play under way too much pressure.

[Little E]

That looked like short hook zones, looked like it was Foote's responsibility, however wtf was the safety doing BEHIND the TE?

[Spike]

Lord Tyrone waves at another TD.

Nice live game feed Tibs - thanks.

[tibor]

#23 kinda stinks out there, in the starting line-up...just sayin'

[Jmat]

The offense was fine until the dumb penalty.

Yeah, that killed the momentum and fired up the Bill defense. Personally I didn't see a hold by Hartwig on that play.

[Mosh Pitt]

Lord Tyrone is playing prevent D. We really need Troy back in a big way.

[Jmat]

Carey Davis with a 34 yard kick return.

[PsychoWard]

Rough start for Hartwig, step it up

[Mosh Pitt]

Larry Foote also looks lost.

Willie Colon got beat twice easily on the opening drive.

[Crime Fighter]

ST has shown some good things.

[Jmat]

Lord Tyrone is playing prevent D. We really need Troy back in a big way.

Troy still isn't practicing as far as i know. I guess he does his own thing at Training Camp too.

[Spike]

Woodley got stuffed to the outside on that TD pass.

[Mosh Pitt]

Hartwig pancaked the DT on one play. He hasn´t been bad besides the holding call.

[Ben#7]

For those who could see the game. Does it look to be a Steelers crowd?

[Jmat]

Nice run by FWP.

Boy that's two weeks in a row that the first team D has looked bad.

Ben for 15 to Spaeth.

[Spike]

Nice catch Spaeth ..........not Miller.

[Jmat]

For those who could see the game. Does it look to be a Steelers crowd?
Not really. There are Steelers fans there but it seems like a Buffalo crowd. Lots of empty seats.

[Jmat]

Heath moves early. Damn it. That was 3rd and 5 too. Killed us again.

[Steelerman]

Ehh, maybe next week for the 1st teamers.

[Vindrow]

Well, that was a shitty offensive series.

[Chicoman]

Marvel Smith still SUCKS!!!

FAT! LAZY!! FUCK!!!

[Jmat]

Not a good start at all. More Steeler penalties already in this game than the whole game last week.

[Steelerman]

Marvel Smith still SUCKS!!!

FAT! LAZY!! FUCK!!!

Did Marvel fuck your mother in the ass or something?

[Vindrow]

2 penalties on 3rd downs killed those offensive drives..they need to get that crap under control...hopefully they will before reg season.

[Spike]

Put Sweed out there with the 1st team! - Ben had all day to throw and nobody open.

[Steelerman]

Harrison is a fucking monster.

[Spike]

Silverback!

[Balls&YourWord]

Harrison almost got a safety there, nice sack.

[Jmat]

Marvel Smith still SUCKS!!!

FAT! LAZY!! FUCK!!!

Not if you listen to the 'experts'.

I'm with you though.
Leftwich is coming in for the next offensive series.

You watchiIf he moves the offense, people will be calling for him to start. lol

[Chicoman]

Did Marvel fuck your mother in the ass or something?

I've hated Marvel Smith since he was drafted! He's a slow, fat, lazy LT. And I don't like the guy protecting our Franchise QB's blind side.

[Mosh Pitt]

Silverback was looking to body slam Edwards.

[Jmat]

Man, I thought Tyrone Carter was Troy for a second there with the hair coming out the back of the helmet. All i saw was the hair and the 3.

[Balls&YourWord]

That was a nice tackle, even though it came back.

Looks like the Steelers aren't keeping outside contain well on runs... I'm sure the d-line really cares about this game though, lol.

[Spike]

Troy cut his hair and all his powers drained.

[Balls&YourWord]

Guh. What was that, a 30 yard run by Edwards?

[Steelerman]

I think this weeks practice is about to get a lot tougher.

[Vindrow]

Yay...way to go D letting Edwards run for the 1st down:mad:

[Chicoman]

totally pathetic! Our Defense so far in the preseason is a fucking joke!

[Spike]

defense blows another 3rd and 18

[Jmat]

The Bill TD drive was 10 plays, 68 yards.

This series is looking good for them too.

[Steelerman]

Bills making us look bad.

[Spike]

missed tackles....looks like they're running half speed

[Jmat]

William Gay missed that tackle something terrible. Holy shit.

[Vindrow]

Looks like the defense doesn't even want to be out there....pathetic playing.

[Jmat]

Ike with a missed tackle on Evans. NO pressure from the d-line

[Steelerman]

Hmm. Keeps getting worse.

[Jmat]

Ryan Clark with a missed tackle.

Gay, Taylor and Clark on consecutive plays missing tackles.
Coach T is looking pissed.

[Steelerman]

Ok...this is too much. The defense is getting fucking pounded.

[Jmat]

Holy smokes. Buffalo is making this look real easy.

[kev4heels]

Embarrassing...

[Steelerman]

Didn't this drive pretty much start from the 1 yard line?

[Jmat]

Ok...this is too much. The defense is getting fucking pounded.

Yep this is ridiculous.

[Ben#7]

WTF is going on with the defense?

On the radio they are saying that there are alot of missed tackles?:confused:

[Spike]

Bend, then break defense

That's different

[Jmat]

TD Bills. Two TD passes. Foote gets beat.

[Chicoman]

I am speechless. This Defense is fundamentally pathetic!!! Without Troy in the secondary this season we will not stop anyone.

[Steelerman]

Foote. Say goodbye to your starting job.

[Jmat]

WTF is going on with the defense?

On the radio they are saying that there are alot of missed tackles?:confused:

See the posts above.

[Crime Fighter]

Ben #7, go to the stoogeTV link, but only if you want to puke! :(

Foote looks real slow, Timmons is the new man!

[Little E]

Foote gets taken advantage twice for two TDs, just cannot cover, not enough of an athlete.

[GoSteelers]

are they ready to show up to play?

[Vindrow]

Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic....I hope the defense is embaressed with the way they are playing.....Caoch T will be on their ass come the next few practices.

[mikeh]

Kiesel, Clark and Carter.....absolutely worthless....bring on Anthony Smith.....

[Balls&YourWord]

Yeah, Larry Foote is starting to get on my nerves. Well the hell is our first round pick from last year? The guy that can actually cover someone and doesn't get dragged 2-3 extra yards down field on every tackle?

And Casey Hampton looks bored, heh. Then again, this is the preseason.

[Ben#7]

They are taking big chunks out of our defense. WTF!!!!!!!!

They could at least give them a reach around before fucking them in the ass.:mad:

[Jmat]

Didn't this drive pretty much start from the 1 yard line?

Technically the 10 after the Harrison tackle the 1.

[1st & 10]

Edwards 9 for 11 passing

[Ben#7]

Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic....I hope the defense is embaressed with the way they are playing.....Caoch T will be on their ass come the next few practices.


I sure the hell am embarassed with the defense.:o:o:o

[Jmat]

I don't know what the D's problem is but I know it's unacceptable.

Byron in.

[Steelerman]

I know the defense isn't this sad. (rubbing rabbits foot)

[Spike]

And Willie Reid sucks too.....Carey Davis looked better.

[Supersteeler]

Pretty embarrasing display all in all. I just want to know why Joe Montana is wearing Trent Edwards' jersey tonight.

Uh ok, Mike is pissed. Ben is being sent back out.

[Jmat]

Ahhhh. Tomlin put the whole first team O back in. He is not happy.

[hammerva]

Funny how everyone was worried about our offense and what Arians would do. But if the defense doesn't pick up its game then the Patriots 2007 offense couldn't have a winning season with this defense. Especially on the run. :mad:

[Jmat]

Leftwich was ready to come in and was called back.

[Ben#7]

I don't know what the D's problem is but I know it's unacceptable.

Byron in.

Maybe it was all of the fooling around in practice. I was in favor of it at 1st. But now it looks like they lost there focus.

[Steelerman]

Nice playcall.

[Jmat]

Ben is pretty much playing the whole first half. 8 minutes left.

[Steelerman]

Wow. Another 3rd down penalty.

[1st & 10]

kemo jumps

[Jmat]

Kemoateau with the motion penalty.

[Supersteeler]

Our entire O Line is full of dumbasses.

[Spike]

Ben looks pissed....Kemo fucks up again

[Chicoman]

Fundamentally this team is a JOKE!!! Offensively! Defensively!! Special Teams!!!

It's gonna be a long year!

[Jmat]

Nice pass by Ben and catch by Moore for the first down.

[Supersteeler]

I think Mewelde got that. Nice play.

[Steelerman]

Fundamentally this team is a JOKE!!! Offensively! Defensively!! Special Teams!!!

It's gonna be a long year!

Jesus H. Christ.

[Jmat]

Beautiful TD pass. WOW!

[Supersteeler]

There we go! Ben to Holmes! TD!!!

[StuartSteelerFan]

There we go.

[Crime Fighter]

Holmes gonna be a beast this year! Fuck yeah!

[Steelerman]

Ben and Santonio are going to scare a lot of teams this year.

[Spike]

da bomb!

Holmes burned then bad

I told ya Ben was pissed

[LetMePlay]

50yds in the air.

[Jmat]

Ben to Santonio hook up for a 40 yard TD pass

[GoSteelers]

well it took long enough.

[Supersteeler]

THIS TEAM SUCKS!!!!! WE ARE FUCKED THIS YEAR!!!!

Oh....wait I thought I was someone else for a minute.

[Jmat]

Now Ben can sit down.

This D though. I don't know.

[1st & 10]

Holmes ran right by youboty (sp). Nice pass Ben.
This is going to be a leathal hook up all year.

[Punxsutawney]

Both Hampton and Smith look old and weak out there. Getting zero push and struggling to get of blocks. I know it is just preseason but we are not talking about vanilla schemes here. They are getting dominated man to man.

[Vindrow]

These 3rd down penalities are fucking stupid..I hope Coach T does something about this.

[Chicoman]

Jesus H. Christ.

Cmon man ya can't be happy with the penalties, No pass rush! Keisel looks like a gimp out there. The secondary with the missed tackles. Letting Edwards scramble 25 yards on 3rd & 18 from the 1 yard line. This type of shit regardless of how good a team is and the Steelers might have the best offense in football will ultimately cost a team wins in close games.

This team has the talent and power to go all the way but dumb penalties, poor tackling and shit like that will kill us in a regular season game.

[Steelerman]

The D can walk back to Latrobe as far as I'm concerned.

[Vindrow]

Now that we scored Ben can sit down and let teh 2nd team go in.

[Steelerman]

Cmon man ya can't be happy with the penalties, No pass rush! Keisel looks like a gimp out there. The secondary with the missed tackles. Letting Edwards scramble 25 yards on 3rd & 18 from the 1 yard line. This type of shit regardless of how good a team is and the Steelers might have the best offense in football will ultimately cost a team wins in close games.

Don't you think it's a TAD early to throw the entire season down the shitter?

[Ben#7]

This is going to be a long week for the defense and offensive line in camp. Tomlin needs to come down hard on them.

Beat them to the white meat Mike.

[Spike]

Timmons runs like a deer n S.T.

[Balls&YourWord]

Not a great effort from the offense, the linemen in particular, but way to finish. Beautiful pass from Mr. Roethlisberger.

[Supersteeler]

cmon Man Ya Can't Be Happy With The Penalties, No Pass Rush! Keisel Looks Like A Gimp Out There. The Secondary With The Missed Tackles. Letting Edwards Scramble 25 Yards On 3rd & 18 From The 1 Yard Line. This Type Of Shit Regardless Of How Good A Team Is And The Steelers Might Have The Best Offense In Football Will Ultimately Cost A Team Wins In Close Games.

We Are Fuuuuuuucked!!!!!!!!! In The Second Pre Season Gaaaaaaaammmmmeee!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

[LetMePlay]

We are going to give up a shit load of points his year. We are also going to score a shit load of points.

[GoSteelers]

had trouble with stooge tv last week watching something.
found this today, not bad.....http://xssports.rack111.com/

[Balls&YourWord]

Cmon man ya can't be happy with the penalties, No pass rush! Keisel looks like a gimp out there. The secondary with the missed tackles.

Dude.

It's the preseason. Chill.

You think anyone on the Steelers d-line actually gives a crap about this game? They're not competing for a job, they're just looking to stay healthy for the real deal.

[Jmat]

The Steeler first team D in against the Bills second team O.

[Supersteeler]

Don't you think it's a TAD early to throw the entire season down the shitter?

I disagree. I'm with Chico, we have to forfeit the season immediately, this team just can't cut it. Send them home until next August and then we'll try again.

[Steelerman]

Also remember that the defenses being called are very vanilla.

[Chicoman]

Don't you think it's a TAD early to throw the entire season down the shitter?

I'm not throwing the season down the shitter. This team has it all to win a Championship. To not go all the way because of poor tackling, st00pid penalties is just a tuff pill to swallow. I expect this team to go all the way this season. They are stacked!!!

[Jmat]

Sack. Took awhile.

[Steelerman]

Uhhhh, so are they going to call that hold of Harrison?

[Balls&YourWord]

Nice sack from the Deisel, good coverage down field. Now get them out of there.

[Supersteeler]

Well that was against the 2nd team but better than nothing.

[Crime Fighter]

Yeah, rush that scab OL of the Bills!

[tibor]

When your starting safety - #23 Carter - is a step late on every play, that kinda sets the tone for the defense.

I know it's not just on him, but Carter is showing that he's pretty terrible, and that's being kind...

[StuartSteelerFan]

We're still fucked on punt returns.

[Balls&YourWord]

LOL!

Mewelde Moore looked like Randel El on muscle relaxers there, that was bad hehe.

[GoSteelers]

that was poor

[Spike]

Where's Ed-die! We want Ed-die!

[1st & 10]

The Steelers 1st team vs Bills 2nd team with a stunt and a blitz to get that sack.

[Jmat]

Also remember that the defenses being called are very vanilla.

Vanilla is one thing. Missed tackles, no pressure, looking lost are another. Even in preseason you've got to make the tackles and get some pressure.

[njsteel]

Did we score on their 2nd string d? Or were there starters still in there.

Love Tomlin leaving the starting D in the game. Statement made.
They are gonna get worked this week, and rightfully so :mad:

[Chicoman]

We Are Fuuuuuuucked!!!!!!!!! In The Second Pre Season Gaaaaaaaammmmmeee!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!


I get so emotional during a game. Ya should know that by now. I just want to see more fundamentally sound play from a veteran football team like the Steelers. This team will go all the way this season.

[Steelerman]

Vanilla is one thing. Missed tackles, no pressure, looking lost are another. Even in preseason you've got to make the tackles and get some pressure.

Oh we're shit alright. I was just trying to make myself feel better.

[Jmat]

Whew. Byron with a rifle pass to Nate for a first down.

[thesteelcity]

i like Byron!

[Spike]

Lefty!!!

A bullet!!!!


hahahaha

[Jmat]

I just want to see more fundamentally sound play from a veteran football team like the Steelers.

I agree with you.

[BermudaSteel]

Sorry I'm late gang...great throw by Leftwich...

The game is on here in Bermuda...CITY TV a Canadian channel:D

[Jmat]

Mahan at center. The second team O is in there this series.

[StuartSteelerFan]

Someone tell leftwich to throw to the white jerseys.

[BermudaSteel]

WTF Lefty???

[Balls&YourWord]

Nothing beats '05 though, remember when everyone was panicking about the offense because they didn't score a TD in the preseason? Then they come out the first week against Tennessee and just took it to 'em.

[Jmat]

That should have been a pick. Byron hesitated too much. FG attempt.
Reed missed from 24 yards

[checkert]

Does anyone remember the name of a caucasian punt returner with world class sprinting speed who played during the time of Kordell. We can't seem to remember the name.

[BermudaSteel]

Jake Reed....OMG!

[Steelerman]

Yer in a fuckin' dome, Jeff.

[Spike]

Willie Reid is a shrimp and we miss a FG. The coaches will love this one.

[thesteelcity]

eeeeeeeasy Bryon. Don't kill your receivers 10 yards out.

This HAS to be the last year for Reid. He really sucks!

[shufan.tsz]

Damn, I wasn't able to catch the beginning of the game. Could someone give me an overview of how our first team offense and defense did?

[Jmat]

Reeds no good inside on artificial turf. lol He used to Heinz Field now.

[Chicoman]

Larry Foote looks really bad this game.

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Does anyone remember the name of a caucasian punt returner with world class sprinting speed who played during the time of Kordell. We can't seem to remember the name.

Tim Dwight?

[GoSteelers]

did the D forget how to tackle?

[Jmat]

Damn, I wasn't able to catch the beginning of the game. Could someone give me an overview of how our first team offense and defense did?

They did lousy, especially the D. Read the thread at half time.

[Steelerman]

Damn, I wasn't able to catch the beginning of the game. Could someone give me an overview of how our first team offense and defense did?

You really don't want to know. Really.

[BermudaSteel]

I haven't had time to read the entire thread...nor have I seen the first quarter. BUT, I don't like what I've seen thus far. The score is bad, the offense is bad and the defense is bad.










I love preseason.

[StuartSteelerFan]

Damn, I wasn't able to catch the beginning of the game. Could someone give me an overview of how our first team offense and defense did?

Look at the score... that pretty much sums it up.

[Spike]

3rd and two I really expected us to run the ball.....twice

[Chicoman]

Damn, I wasn't able to catch the beginning of the game. Could someone give me an overview of how our first team offense and defense did?

Steelers moved the ball pretty good on offense to start the game but Ben threw a pick deep in Bills territory. Tomlin kept them on the field for 3 drives...the last one a 40yd TD to Holmes.

Defensively the tackling is very sloppy. They have given up 2 TD's and they just look bad.

[BermudaSteel]

Damn, I wasn't able to catch the beginning of the game. Could someone give me an overview of how our first team offense and defense did?

Read the thread at halftime...

[Jmat]

Larry Foote looks really bad this game.

Not just Foote. That was a total first team D meltdown. Better now than in 3 weeks.

[Spike]

All the back-ups are in now on D.

[Jmat]

Nice play by Eason.

[BermudaSteel]

Timmons w/ a ROCK SOLID tackle!

[Little E]

Larry Foote moves in slow motion.

[Chicoman]

look at that tackling that is just sloppy. I don't remember seeing a Cowher coached team with such poor tackling.

[BermudaSteel]

All the back-ups are in now on D.

Timmons and Foote were on the field together just now....

[Jmat]

Timmons with the sack!!!

[Balls&YourWord]

TIMMONS!

Nice sack.

[BermudaSteel]

WHOOOOOOOO Timmons w/ a BIG SACK!!!!

[Spike]

Timmons a sack!

[Chicoman]

Timmons is FUCKING QUICK!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!

GOODBYE LARRY!!!!

[StuartSteelerFan]

I want to see Timmons doing that all season long.

[Jmat]

That was fucking pretty.

[Steelerman]

If Foote is still the starter by week 3 then I'll be less than thrilled. Hell, make it week 2. Timmons can run laps around him and still have time for a piss.

[Pilz]

Timmons was brutal on that. Arnold has been pressuring as well

[shufan.tsz]

Thanks for the summary, sounds like I was lucky to miss it. Ugh.

[Jmat]

If you had to pick right now Timmons would be starting without a doubt over Foote.

[checkert]

I don't see him listed as playing for the Steelers. Google doesn't seem to be giving any answers so I am calling out to the Steeler Nation. :)

[Chicoman]

JFC look how slow Max Starks is getting on that fumble....LOL!!!

[shufan.tsz]

Oh god, Leftwich + Steelers 2nd team O-line = Disaster.

[Spike]

Holy kee-rist......

[BermudaSteel]

Byron Leftwich has the mobility of a bouy...

[thesteelcity]

Byron, that FUGLY!

[LetMePlay]

I'm shocked that Leftwich got sacked.

[Jmat]

LOL. Fuck. Starks got whooped Byron fumbled but the ball went OoB before the Bills got it.

[Pitt Charlie]

When's Charlie returning? :eek:

[StuartSteelerFan]

Nice stiffarm on that run to end the half... too bad saying that is like kissing your sister.

[BigSteelThrill]

There is no mistaking the speed/burst difference between Timmons and Foote.

[Jmat]

Starks is our 7 million dollar man huh? Not bad for a guy that shouldn't make the team.

Halftime

[thesteelcity]

STEELERS: here's a thought. . . WAKE THE F UP!

[GoSteelers]

y's the board slow?:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::mad:

[Spike]

Dennis Dixon can win the #2 job, I'd say.

[Steelerman]

Starks is a fucking STEAL!!!

[Vindrow]

Hell, Dixon looked better when he played.

[StuartSteelerFan]

STEELERS: here's a thought. . . WAKE THE F UP!

Nah, let the F sleep. But it would be nice if the fucking D would wake up.

[Chicoman]

Starks is a fucking STEAL!!!

LMAO! Starks has gotta go. If anything he's costing us too much for a backup OT. I thought someone on here said he'd make a better LT than RT because Starks is left handed. Well so much for that theory.

[Spike]

Good thing there's another week of camp - they got some work to do.
> Coach Spike

[thesteelcity]

Byron will take a lot of time away from Dixon getting familiar with this O. BL has more rust than expected. Yuck!

[Jmat]

Starks is a fucking STEAL!!!

Thanks for that laugh! :D

[jasen@cardiostack]

STEELERS: here's a thought. . . WAKE THE F UP!

typical of this team since tomlin has taken over. they come out flat waaayyyy more then they dont

[Andymisiu]

This is the wake up call that's always good to see in the pre season. Remember that we are running a base D and not showing the true D that will be a lot better.

Hampton looks out of shape and is not controlling the middle. However, the Bills would never have as much time to throw as we are giving them do to the D we are running which is vanilla. I would agree that we do not look that sharp.

The offense looked pretty good outside of the mistakes of penalty. Parker didn't have a whole lot of room to run.

The big bright spot for me is Timmons! watch him shine again! can someone please put him in the starting line up!!!!

[Mosh Pitt]

Byron Leftwich has the mobility of a bouy...


LOL, a mobile QB is a pre-requisite with our pass protection.

[t-bone]

too much fun at camp this week

no movie for you

[jasen@cardiostack]

and the opponents are running a base D also.

[1st & 10]

Steelers lead in total yards for the 1st half.

[CAH]

and the opponents are running a base D also.
Don't say anything about our D. Anyone can see they didn't arrive at the game yet. Wait 'til they get here. :rolleyes:

[LetMePlay]

1) No mobility
2) Slow release

[Mosh Pitt]

Well, if they are running the vainilla D on purpose, it´s pretty obvious it doesn´t work.

To me it looks like the same D we had in the latter half of last year. Last week´s performance was pretty bad as well. The Eagles first team offense drove down the field on us at will. I can understand McNabb and the Eagles offense, but Trent Edwards and the Bills??????

[Spike]

Goddamn Tomlin for missing all those tackles

[Jmat]

Steelers lead in total yards for the 1st half.

I'm not surprised. The start of the first O series was real good, the end of it sucked. The last series with the first team O was real good. The penalties killed the first drive and a couple other drives.

The first team D took the night off. I have nothing good to say about them.

[t-bone]

Spike, should we start printing bridge jumper tickets yet?

[1st & 10]

Timmons went for a ride

[Jmat]

Foote with another missed tackle.

[Chicoman]

WTF kinda ole tackle was that by Foote? WRAP THE GUY UP!!!

[Mosh Pitt]

Poor tackling and our piss-poor run defense.

[LetMePlay]

We look like the Browns D.

[Jmat]

Holy cow. 15 yard run.

[jasen@cardiostack]

Goddamn Tomlin for missing all those tackles

but he gets the credit when the team wins

[1st & 10]

Bills 17 yard carry

[Chicoman]

our D-line both starters and backups has been getting owned all FUCKING nite!!!

[Spike]

omg - - - the 2nd/3rd string D-line so pathetic....like a sieve


Off with their heads!

[CAH]

Spike, should we start printing bridge jumper tickets yet?

Print 'em. Two more preseasons so you know they'll be needed. :D

[thesteelcity]

too early to make a bag for my melon when the D is on the field?

[LetMePlay]

If you were the Bills why would you ever pass?

[Andymisiu]

oh yeah guys! I forgot! pre season tells a lot about the starters. What was I thining?

[Jmat]

The Steelers rush defense looks terrible tonight. I'm REALLY glad it's only thepre-season.

[Spike]

but he gets the credit when the team wins

Maybe in your book he does - I just look at the team.

[Jmat]

6.3 yards per rush for the Bills.

[Mosh Pitt]

We look like the Browns D.


LOL, same thing I was thinking. Pretty sad moment when that thought goes through your head.

Bills already have 103 rushing yards.

[Andymisiu]

The Steelers rush defense looks terrible tonight. I'm REALLY glad it's only thepre-season.

There just rushing with no scheme. Don't worry they'll be different in the reg season

Hate to say this but Casey Hampton was gassed in the middle of the second qtr just like last year. Watch him folks. He takes a ton of plays off.

LOL, same thing I was thinking. Pretty sad moment when that thought goes through your head.

Bills already have 103 rushing yards.

Damn. I thought the same thing.

I hope they learn to wrap up the ball carrier and don't do any ole tackles like we have matadors on defense.

Tomlin needs to let Hampton play the whole game to get his point across. Suck it up Big Fella! You want to dog it, you will learn to come in fit.

He is not in the physical condition that he in under Cowher when he played almost every down. Casey probably looks it as a demotion so he figures why put in the effort.
