A couple photos before kickoff …
These will be someone’s ancestors someday.
The Seahawks and Steelers warm up under golden skies (and surrounded by golden seats).
No one can cover Brown and Wallace
inside 5, sure would be nice to use Heath Miller or David Johnston
good comeback drive for Steelers, 7-0 on Mendenhall TD.
Having a hard time figuring out what percentage of this is just the Seahawks being bad? Any luck?
Foster springs Redman for 20-yard touchdown run.
14-0 Steelers and Ben is having a bad game.
@DK: Yeah, reconciling last week’s performance to the shaky line play and some bad decisions/throws by Ben during today’s game to a 14-0 lead is leaning the scale heavily towards a really bad Seattle team.
Offensive line is blocking better as the game goes on (Gilbert++) and with that comes more room for Ben to set his feet and find his targets.
Dominating first half but I don’t think the Steelers did anything out of the ordinary to be up 17-0 and wonder about the health of Roethlisberger.
I hate the prevent defense when you are winning 24-0
of course, I type this and they get a sack.
Prevent defense had lost many a game.
and there’s another sack. I guess I should have said it earlier.
What a difference a week makes–Titans up 23-13 on Ravens with just under 7 minutes left
and that’s what happens when you make the first regular season game as important as the Super Bowl. Baltimore was ripe for a let down and surprising loss to the Titans after they hooted and hollered about their stomping of the Steelers.
All the Ravens did was beat the Steelers 35-7 with 15 games to play.
