Re: The NFL Thread
Was at the Steelers/Vikings game Sunday, and talk about coming away with a win we did not deserve. Hopefully, this makes up for at least of the two losses where we should have won. Thank to the inept Vikings for only Running AP once when they had first and goal at the one, and then kicking the field goal on fourth and one. Also nice to se that Brett Favre tackles as well as our kicker does allowing us an interception return for a TD and a fumble return for a TD all in hte last 6 minutes of the game. Bye week could not have come at a better time for us.

Hey that's Brad Childress for you! It was only a matter of time before he started costing the Vikings games! That interception return was awesome, because it got the Steelers to cover!!! I think you are being too hard on the Steelers though. They kicked on 4th and 1 because it was 1st and one, and they failed three straight times. They had no confidence it would work the fourth time. Plus, the steelers D had to come up with that fumble and interception to return them for the touchdowns, so the D won them the game, which is Steelers football 101.

Re: The NFL Thread
They actually failed 4 times because there was a penalty on the first 1st down. The reason they failed was that they only ran AP on 2 of their 4 tries. When you have the best running back in the league, you give it to him on every down, and if you don't make it, you tip your hat to the defense. Kicking the field goal only made the score 13 - 10 Steelers so technically, the Steelers didn't need to come up with any defensive scores to win the game. The fumble recovery put them up 20 - 10, but the ensuing kickoff return brought it back to 20 -17. It was the interception return that got them to cover the spread, and Fox was quoted as saying that he should have just fallen down and let the O run out the clock.
Geez, I've been going to Steelers' games since 1972 (The first year we got our season tickets), and I've only missed a handful of games in the last 37 years. I've seen enough to know that sometimes you win games you should have lost (Minnesota and Tennessee games this year), and sometimes you lose games you should have won (Cincy and Chicago). They usually all even out in the end. Happy to be 5 - 2 though going into our bye week especially with Denver, Cincy and Baltimore in 3 of our next 5 games. Probably need to win 2 of those 3 which would make us 9 - 3 (Other two are KC and Oakland) and a good bet to be in the playoffs.

Re: The NFL Thread
Listening to Outside the Lines... Someone said that its horrible that Larry Johnson would use that kind of slur when its gay/homosexual/lesbian/transgender/transsexual month. I'm sure that's what LJ was thinking... "I'm going to call my coach a homosexual because it's homosexual month! That would be bad. Let's pencil it in for after the next loss, then it'll be 'appreciate your turkey' month, I just call him a turkey this month so that no one has to have their month defamed."
A couple of months a go they had "Nude bike riding day." Does that mean that you can't say anything about naked bike riders that day?

Re: The NFL Thread
Currently he's suspended and I expect he'll be cut before the end of the season.

Re: The NFL Thread
Hopefully dealt instead of cut. I don't mind being a horrible team for the next three years if we can do something after those few years. Hopefully Paoli is great as our GM.

Re: The NFL Thread
Here's the thing: Larry Johnson is untradeable. Everyone within the organization knows it;

Re: The NFL Thread
The NFL trade deadline is week 6, so he can't be dealt before the end of the season. And he is also washed up, so I doubt anyone would want him.

Re: The NFL Thread
I don't know if I'd say "washed up". I think if he goes somewhere like New England, or anywhere with a line, he could be pretty good again.

Re: The NFL Thread
He's been pretty useless for 3 years now, he only had two good years and then became injury prone. I really don't think he will ever be serviceable again.

Re: The NFL Thread
I think Larry Johnson could excel with a good line. He still got something left in the tank but he will not be sucessful as long as he is with the chiefs.

Re: The NFL Thread
I thought the same thing. I think with the Pats, he would be the best back they've had since I can remember. I also think he would keep a cool head there since he'd get the ball and be winning games.
