The Third Annual Steelers March to the Super Bowl Thread

Batch as a starter?

::shudder::

Well, your 3 headed running game should be in full force by the next game, so maybe having to rely on Batch won’t hurt too much. Seriously, how did you guys get into this QB situation? Was the front office betting on Big Ben never getting hurt? And where the hell is Maddox?

Maddox was injured in practice last week. And now it seems that Big Ben’s injury wasn’t that bad. He may actually play on Sunday, although I’d rather have him sit it out against Jacksonville. That’s a tough defense.

Injured in practice I believe.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Maddox’s calf injury is similar Bettis’ injury.

Another interception from Maddox to set up the go ahead touchdown. Looks like we’re going to get dominated today.

Where’s our offensive line?
Where’s our run defense?

You suck Maddox.

Bring in Batch. Maddox is sucking the big 10-pound fattie.

Man oh man, they are killin’ me. Maybe Tommy will still pull it together…

I can’t believe I rushed home for this. :frowning:

And it’s not like we can just sit back and say “Eh, what’s a few losses?” That won’t fly this year. We have a Cincinnati team that can actually compete. We play like this and we may be fighting for a wild card spot.

THERE WE GO!

Now we’re getting back on track. :smiley:

I still think that Maddox should take a seat. He’s so slow and wooden back there it looks like Herman Munster under center.

That said, that was pathetic kick coverage, and Randle-El made the Jags pay. I can live with that. With a lead all Tommy has to do is maintain it. Even he can do that, I think. I hope.

This is more like it. I guess I’ll have to be more patient. :slight_smile:

Please post half time score, some of us don’t get the game.

Our defense is playing their hearts out today, but there’s only so much they can do when our offense simply refuses to get anything done.

14-10 at the half in favor of Pitt.

When the hell are you going to put Batch in, Cowher? The only time Maddox can move the chains is when the Jags penalize us. This game is a mess.

Three things have kept the Steelers in the game, and none of them is the offense.
1: The D. Especially the stop for a field goal after the blocked punt.
2: Randle El’s special-teams TD.
3: The sheer number of penalties commmited by the Jags.

If the Steelers pull this one off, they’ll’ve been incredibly lucky.

WOOHOO!!!

Pick in the endzone! The Steelers still have a chance!

A shame our QB is incompetent. Let’s go run game!

Holy Mary, Mother of God! Did you see that run?

If they lose this I’m going to lose my mind. They’re already in field goal range.

…and Maddox tries to do exactly that by fumbling the snap. What a hoser. :rolleyes:

I called it. Maddox fumbles it, the Jags recover.

Cut the bastard. Tonight.

You’ve Got To Be Fucking Kidding Me. Fuck!
