I don’t care if it’s still early in the season, I don’t care that neither Cincy nor the Ratbirds are setting the world on fire, you can’t start 2-4 and expect to go anywhere. So before we put all the blame on Charlie Batch, let’s remember we also had a posse of backs who couldn’t hold on to the ball, a “star” receiver who didn’t bother showing up, and a beat up offensive line which kept putting an already sputtering offense into third and long situations.Truth be told, if not for another heroic effort from the Steelers defense, this would’ve been a one-sided ass-whupping. The D is old but the line-up they put on the field last Sunday against Denver sure wasn’t. It was unbearable.
Even at the end of the game KC tried their damnedest to snatch defeat from the jaws of The Chiefs came in having never led during regulation all season. They can let him play through his deal, which keeps a massive cap number in place or they can cut him, which saves $8 million in cap space while putting $6 million dead on their 2016 cap.The signs point toward an extension being the outcome here.
He makes some great throws, like the bomb to Wallace, but then he’ll turn around and miss plays he needs to make. When he dialed up a fake kick/2 point conversion when an extra point would have sufficiently put them ahead by three scores, the message was clear. Unless Ben magically heals between now and Sunday, there is no way this team is beating the Ravens. Not to mention 7 of our 14 points were scored on a pick six byThe defense has nothing to be ashamed of. And when he gets a nice clean pocket and about five seconds to wind up, he does throw a pretty ball. Man, I’m begging some intrepid fan to track down their Facebook pages to see if they have pics wearing Iggles gear or chowing down on diarrhea inducing cheesesteaks or something. Seven starters are over the age of 30. As I said, only two were bad throws as the third was a short slant pattern which As if the turnovers weren’t enough of a handicap, we had penalties.
UPDATE: LB Lawrence Timmons has been taken to a local hospital for further evaluation on his shin.
Likewise, what will the team do with On a personal note, I want to thank my readers for allowing me to vent this season. The sun might not be setting quite yet on the career of Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons. Five turnovers in two weeks. With a short turnaround to the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football, that’s really all that matters.I don’t blame Tomlin for lying to the press.
Harrison was replaced by 23 year old Chris Carter and 24 year old Worilds had a sack when Peyton Manning screwed up a protection call and gave him a free shot at the QB. That’s likely to be by far the highest for a middle or inside linebacker (pending any extension given to Defensive Player of the Year candidate Luke Kuechly).The Steelers are in a tough spot because of this. No word on whether yesterday’s ref made an appointment with Dr. James Andrews to check his rotator cuff. At this point, though, I think we need to worry less about January and worry more about next week.
One of the things I don’t like about Wallace is he doesn’t work. The offense?
Considering the positions that need filled next year, future extensions that need to be given and a relatively short amount of cap space because of those things, they both need to re-work a deal with Timmons and be mindful of how much more money they can give him.The options boil down to giving him a 3-year extension that tears up his 2016 salary, adds more bonus money and spreads it into the other two years of his deal. I hope you check in from time to time.Thanks for reading.
In reality, Kansas City’s incompetence was the only thing which saved them from a horrible loss.
