my point is when the game started, it was obvious pittsburgh was in a defense we werent expecting. every series our offense is finding more and more to exploit. you cant viiew the game in a vaccuum . we are playing a damn good defense. you cant just demand tds
Oh come on now. I mention his mistakes, always have. What im talking about is the people that go overboard with it because of simple mistakes.
I hope you're not referring to me with this post. I am by no means a Henne hater. I just think it's silly to absolve him of any and every poor throw he makes. Doesn't mean I don't love him as a player, and it certainly doesn't mean that I don't think he's the future. I do think he's our future, and overall, I'm very pleased with his play, and his progression from last year to now.
Great job by the D to not give up points there before half. Hopefully we can keep our momentum going heading into the second half, especially since we get the ball first.
I agree, a late round pick imo is worth more to us. Never liked the trade from the day it was consummated.
I would love to...I'll buy the beer everytime we kick a FG. You can buy when we score TDs...right now, its me buying 3 rds to 1.
Close game we got working....We get the ball after half we gotta go get 7 with it. The guys are playing good today.
I wasn't referring to anyone. Don't go jumping to conclusions because we had a disagreement over a play earlier bro. It's all good man.
Nolan is working miracules with this defense today with brilliant schemes. Bend but don't break while making big plays when needed. Gotta do a better job with the intermediate stuff though. The middle still needs work.
Well, of course I want this team to win a SB but after seeing them play 5 games, I think they're not ready even though anything can happen. I'm just happy to see this team compete well, and be in 4 games to near the end. With the exception of the Pats game, and even though offense and defense played very well that day. This team is getting better, and better. Just a couple of pieces missing...
I don't disagree you can't demand TD's. You also can't make the realization that those were lost opportunities to score TD's when given the ball in a tough defensive team like the Steelers red zone. We can agree on that can't we? I mean there really isn't anything to disagree with.
If we can match that intensity in the second half we have a great shot at this one. Henne is getting all day to throw. Big Ben is getting regularly harrassed.
agreed that there are parts of henne's game that are valid to criticize so long as its done in perspective namely where he is in his career. he is obviously not a finished product but there are some very encouraging signs as well as some concerns. i think the positives outweigh the negatives
Expect a good 2nd 1/2 from the Phins. All that heat is setting in on the Pitt players at the 1/2. The Phins need a good series of in your face smash mouthing running to wear these ****ers out.
I hear ya bro. Just gets on my nerves all the negativity around him. Especially the people that come here to say nothing but negative things when bad plays happen. He's young. He's going to make mistakes, he's going to make good plays. Its part of growing up with a young QB. Some are just more ready to write a guy off after 18 starts than others I guess.
I know it's disappointing to only get 6 from the turnovers but man that Steelers D is good. They've been moving the ball since they've had a chance to adjust. Let's hope that carries over into the second half.
Fickle or passionate ? I think the wideness of emotions shows they are into the team. If they didn't care, they wouldn't post here.
It is too bad we took the 1st quarter off. We should have had this game well in hand with those 2 turnovers to start. I am happy that they are going into the half only down by 1.
Well...based on that half...I think we can win this game. Very happy with Henne...I feel like we can play with anyone right now.
ok? You know our guy's not doin too bad out there either, and hes playing the best defense in the league.
