If you put your hand up next to your ear, you will hear that flushing sound. Hats off to the Browns. Banged up the opposing QB a couple of weeks ago and now taking out their RB. making even more difficult for the stealers. Sounds like the stealers won the battle but the Browns won the war.
They are far better than their record indicates.

A little karma for the McCoy hit.

--------------------------------------------------

I love browns fans. &quot;they are better than their record inidcates&quot;?  hahahahaha

their record hasnt really changed since 1992.  Based on your thinking, they are the best team in the league.  hahahaha   

how exactly are they &quot;better&quot;?  they have no qb, a sissy for a RB, and an ok D.  They barely won the 4 games they did and showed no improvement.  The browns won the war? really? they got swept AGAIN by the entire division.  If they were not in our division, we would be the toughest division in football.  All they are really good at us ruining qb&#039;s careers (see every one since couch), making excuses, saying next year, and rooting against the ravens and steelers in the playoffs.  Based on the product on the field this year, looks like another dismall year again in 2012.  Sorry]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A little anonymity empowers a lot of idiocy. Anyone wishing injury on a player is a demented twit. This has nothing to do with Roethlisberger but why would that stop his legion of trash-talking followers launching into their &lt;em&gt;dramaqueenrape&lt;/em&gt; chants like four-year-olds with the intellect of aphids. And no Steelers fans have used this injury to make excuses since we&#039;ve suffered bigger losses and still made the Super Bowl. Basically you dingalings are making up your own whines and then responding to them. Steelers fans don&#039;t even need to be here. 

Mendenhall has been money for us because he chews up yards without coughing up the ball. His fumble in the Super Bowl was due to the great defensive play of Clay Matthews more than his own error. And I&#039;m sorry to lose him. Get well soon, Rashard.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steelers fan here...

If that was the last carry Mendenhall had for the Steelers, I say good riddance.  He&#039;s always had a penchant for putting the ball on the ground in critical situations, none moreso than on the first play of the 4th Quarter in Super Bowl 45.  If the Steelers score on that drive it changes the whole game.  Instead, Green Bay goes back up by 10 and turn out the lights, it&#039;s all over.

The Steelers are no longer &quot;Ground and Pound&quot;.  A good running game IS vital to the play action, but Ben is like a RB himself and can make something out of nothing.  Redman and Clay can come in and get the job done.  That being said, it&#039;s time for the Steelers to try and get a prime RB coming out of college in the first or second round.  And show Mendenhall the door.

And please...ANY team can lose to anybody, especially in the playoffs.  But Tim Tebow is not going to pass all over the Steelers, Von Miller wasn&#039;t even on the field in a lot of that KC game, and the Steelers offense is superior to KC&#039;s.  That&#039;s like saying Detroit is going to roll into NO and beat them after NO rolled and has been rolling at home (and beat DET 34-17 a couple weeks go).

The only upset possibilities I see are ATL over the Giants and CIN over HOU (since the first game CIN was winning until the final play).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunate loss, but not the first important player Steelers have lost this year for at least of period of time.  You never want to lose your first team RB.  He wasn&#039;t having a breakout year, but was still solid and capable of a big play at any time, so he will be missed.  Redman is a capable replacement, as long as he holds onto the ball, which he hopefully learned after yesterday.  This year they have relied more on the pass anyway, so Ben&#039;s health is more important.  He needs to be more mobile than he was yesterday.  

As Tomlin says, the standard is the standard.  No excuses, except by those that will CLAIM the Steelers and their fans will now make excuses (you watch for those posts!).  The Steelers will field the best players they have and work to win the game.  

GO STEELERS!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why this injury doesn&#039;t impact the Steelers...

Redman is a grinder who positions Ben for a 3rd and 4 and not 3rd and 8. Clay is also a grinder. 

Rashard doesn&#039;t have vision. Hence the reason Jon Dwyer comes in and darts for 70 yards on 1 carry, untouched.

We are in a passing league with our strength being in the passing game.

Denver can&#039;t score 17 points and New England&#039;s secondary is abysmal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mendenhall has much more speed but he runs like a candy for a back his size.

Redman runs hard between the tackles and knows how to shed tackles and pick up the hidden yards, much more like a Jerome Bettis, for example. 

Redman&#039;s biggest problem, potentially, could be that he fights for extra yards on basically every run. He&#039;s trying to drag five guys and they&#039;re going for the ball.

We&#039;ll see what happens but just because a lot of people have never heard of the guy doesn&#039;t mean he can&#039;t make a name for himself. He&#039;s hungry for this opportunity. I think there&#039;s a good chance in a couple of weeks, that Redman is one of the biggest stories of this postseason. The shot of life that the banged up Steelers needed. Stay tuned.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nobody should be happy for an injury.  This should not significantly hurt the Steelers, though.  Redman fumbles, yes!  Mendenhall put a big one on the ground in the Super Bowl.  Redman is a harder, but slower runner.  Redman picks the blitz up better.  The running back should be irrelevant for us in the playoffs.  We&#039;re a passing team.  If our defense plays tough, we should beat Denver &amp; then who knows?  We beat the Pats, finally, this year &amp; lost to the Ravens twice.  We are capable of beating either team or getting our ass kicked by either team.  Who know which team will show up!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Willie Parker 75-yard TD run in the Super Bowl...undrafted free agent

James Harrison 100-yard INT return in the Super Bowl...undrafted free agent

Isaac Redman is another player who came out of nowhere but he can play. You don&#039;t like to see somebody get injured but it wouldn&#039;t surprise me if this is exactly what the Steelers needed. 

Redman&#039;s style of running gives the offense and offensive line more of an attitude. They kind of need a back they can lean on, with Ben not 100 percent and if they play a team like New England where they have to possess the ball.]]></description>

Actually, I think the Steelers are reporting it as “ACL Tear-like symptoms.”

_________________________________

Well that is good then it&#039;s a tear like syptom. Tape it up and share some of the drama queens shots and all should be good. Boldin had a miniscus tear like symptom and took off two weeks ready for the playoffs. Make sure their ready for their third thumping by an opposing team in one season. 
No excuses.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ya we threeped the ravens in 2008. That was a true sweep. Steelers dont get excited when we beat baltimorons twice in a year.. Ravens fans get all excited about that stuff. We focus on playoffs. I will enjoy how rusty the ravens will be after the bye week. Trust me a bye isnt all that is cracked up to be. Ravens don&#039;t know that yet. Cause theyre not used to having it..classless organization with a toolbag fanbase!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This will finally answer the question of who is a worse quarterback? Tebow or Roethlisberger?

Don&#039;t expect too much out of Roethlisberger against a good defense on the road. See Niners game and almost any game.

GO STEELERS!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you put your hand up next to your ear, you will hear that flushing sound. Hats off to the Browns. Banged up the opposing QB a couple of weeks ago and now taking out their RB. making even more difficult for the stealers. Sounds like the stealers won the battle but the Browns won the war.
They are far better than their record indicates.

A little karma for the McCoy hit.]]></description>
