I hate to speak poorly of the departed, but The Chin didn't always have great success in the face of excessive injuries to starters. So- Tomlin/Arians/LeBeau did great stuff.<BR/><BR/> As far as the late-season schedule: I like to think that a lot of teams get off to fast starts, but struggle later on because they've had "too much" success early. W/our bad-ass schedule i think we'll be the best team in the league come December/January. <BR/><BR/> It's a good thing to KNOW that every, single game is a true test. No freebies to stumble on this year. And- we're getting by w/backups. When we get our #1's back later we will actually improve.<BR/><BR/> I'm a big Chris Hoke fan, BTW: we only went 15-1 the year he filled in for BigSnack. I wish we'd rotate them more when both are well...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18782985.post-423435503070171692008-10-06T13:08:00.000-04:002008-10-06T13:08:00.000-04:00Our d looks great, the o looks ok.

Ben hasn't said anything about them for the last two weeks but, a few weeks ago when the O-line actually did a good job, he spent the whole post-game interview praising the O-line. <BR/><BR/>Either way, we're 4-1, one and a half games ahead of Balti and currently have the tiebreaker over them. I don't think we could have asked for anything better at this point. And the losing streak against Jax is finally over. Finally.<BR/><BR/>Woohoo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18782985.post-87489198991158111082008-10-06T10:48:00.000-04:002008-10-06T10:48:00.000-04:00Matt - here are some more kind wordshttp://sheenab...Matt - here are some more kind words<BR/><BR/>http://sheenabeaston.blogspot.com/2008/10/maticulous-playing-huckleberry-october.html<BR/><BR/>OFTOT...bringing people together since...this morningAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18782985.post-43499966467392265422008-10-06T10:20:00.000-04:002008-10-06T10:20:00.000-04:00I am super pleased with the way we played in the 1...I am super pleased with the way we played in the 1st, 2nd and 4th qtrs. I don't know if Ben was calling the shots w/ the no-huddle, but the play calling was outstanding...minus the 3rd qtr & Mathis, AGAIN. The right run calls, great screens - huge TD to Nate "not so hands of stone anymore" Washington.

But if Hines Ward would have caught the touchdown pass in the first half it wouldn't have mattered. I am a little disappointed in him so far, even though he is getting some serious stats. Doesn't matter, though. We make the plays when we need to. I am utterly shocked with our 4-1 start. And if we beat the Bungles (which should be a foregone conclusion), we have momentum going into the toughest part of our schedule. <BR/><BR/> I don't know about beating the Giants or Cowboys, but we could be looking at a 10-win season! Al Michaels said we have the toughest schedule in 25 years of ANY team...so if that doesn't prepare us for the playoffs I don't know what will!Big Snack Silverbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12423817893096403330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18782985.post-39096201576194365852008-10-06T09:24:00.000-04:002008-10-06T09:24:00.000-04:00who is this Maticulous fellow? sounds smooth and s...who is this Maticulous fellow? sounds smooth and super tasty. it's beaston approved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18782985.post-36692085992887473932008-10-06T07:28:00.000-04:002008-10-06T07:28:00.000-04:00live blog was lots of fun. thanks liveblog-a-than...live blog was lots of fun. thanks liveblog-a-than for steadying the ship.<BR/><BR/>as much as ben drives me crazy for holding on to the ball too long, it paid off on the last drive.<BR/><BR/>big ben has icewater in his veins. are we just getting use to/expecting him to bring the steelers down the field for game winning points? much respect to big ben for that gutsy performance.<BR/><BR/>unsung heroes:<BR/>1.) darnell stapleton<BR/>2.) chris hoke<BR/>3.) travis kirshke<BR/>4.) special teams<BR/><BR/>and a special thanks to the titans and cowboys for beating the ravens and bengals.<BR/><BR/>bye week couldnt come @ a better time.domski43https://www.blogger.com/profile/09146835359192013071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18782985.post-79917979374372095062008-10-06T03:21:00.000-04:002008-10-06T03:21:00.000-04:00First: Thanks to everybody for taking part in the ...First:<BR/><BR/> Thanks to everybody for taking part in the LiveBlog! It was like a party, except we were all in different places. Nice.<BR/><BR/> Mainly:<BR/><BR/> You know Tomlin reprimanded the media-types for dissin' the O-line *by saying that Ben often held the ball too long*?<BR/><BR/> I have a hard time processing that Tomlin would so openly bang on Ben like that. It's true, for sure, but it almost sounded like Tomlin doesn't like Ben. I dunno. <BR/><BR/> But he did say that. And i agree with him: the o-line would've been perfect if Ben hadn't tried for the Homestar Runner on every play...<BR/><BR/> Ben did a sweet job with the play clock tonight too. No more snapping the ball at the same point on every down. I'm very proud of him.<BR/><BR/> And Arians might not've been at fault on the two-point conversion: i *think* the refs were sposed to reset the play clock after the review of the TD in the both under 2 mins.<BR/><BR/> Or not- i'm sure one of OFTOT's encyclopedic geniuses can specificate on that postulationality.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah- <BR/><BR/> Hey Cotter: did you know WE WON!?!<BR/><BR/> Fucker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
