He doesn't seem to really care about the Steelers, or even the game. The only thing Jeff Reed seems to care about is Jeff Reed. see ya later Reed! Good luck with retirement: the way you are playing, that shouldn't be too far away. Who lost the game to Chicago? YOU STINK! Afraid you might break a nail? Hit someone, you lame!

Even Sepulveda can bring down a return - why is Reed so afraid of making physical contact to bring a guy down? Afraid it might hurt??

They helped bring two Super Bowls to town and will be remembered fondly. However, they will both be memories come 2010. Time is not in their favor. Parker is already history. The failure to extend his contract makes that a near certainty. He didn't even get into the Minn. game, even after Mendy fumbled. Moore finished the game instead. Reed, like most kickers, is underpaid and accounts for more points that Mendenhall and Parker put together. He is consistent. However, he is over 30, has trouble kicking deep on kickoffs, and his whimpy whiff on his attempt to corral Harvin (on his way to a TD) in the Minn. was not his first. His future with the Steelers is as shaky as the ground under San Francisco. Kevin Colbert has Piotr Chezh's name on his speed dial even now. My guess is a kicker with a longer leg and a tougher attitude is in the Steelers' future. Reed is as good as gone, too. Let give both men their due.

But unless he starts missing chip shots regularly, he is as steady a kicker thats in this league. I dont think this position should be underestimated! Reed has made many BIG kicks for this team and won many games. He has done well at Heinz field while others have looked terrible kicking off that sod. I want to keep Reed around if he is still a clutch kicker. If he is missing kicks to go along with his erratic behavior, then yes, I believe he will be a goner. Reed is a character, thats for sure.
