Steelers Notebook: Big Ben’s Big Day, More on the Crazy Fourth Down Call
STEEL CITY Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for a season-high 417 yards, just 16 shy of his career-best 433 against Denver on November 5, 2006. It also was the third-highest total in Steelers history. “I don’t even think we know how good we can be here,” Roethlisberger said. “Truth be told, I think we have [...]
Steelers Stuff the Browns 27-14 to Move to 4-2
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin makes no bones about the fact the Steelers have to get better, but Sunday at home against their “rivals” from Cleveland, the team that hoisted the Lombardi trophy a season ago sure looked like they were making strides, stopping Cleveland 27-14. The win was cemented by the Steelers offense, which [...]
Tags: Third Quarter Thoughts: Turnover, Turnover, Turnover – They Still Lead by 10
* Well, the pass defense forgot to leave the locker room, as so far they have given up a big play at the sideline, then a 43-yard play downfield…what’s up with that? Couple plays later the Browns score and are right back in the game, ugh. * Big answer on the drive, the Steelers big [...]

First Quarter Thoughts: Stalemate with Some Turnovers
* First drive stalls after Ward drops third down pass that could have been a score…big second play to Wallace for 29 yards. Ben lined up as if he was going to pooch punt, but then a false start put the team in a postion for a more standard punt, which made for a touchback. [...]

Week Six Preview and Pick: The Beating of the Browns Continue
Last week Derek Anderson was 2-for-17 in a 6-3 win in Buffalo. Now he’s on the road against a Steelers D that has owned the Browns with 11 straight wins. Ouch. The Steelers will get back safety Troy Polamalu, and maybe running back Willie Parker, making it even more bad news for Cleveland. The formula [...]
