Power Restored in New York

Just days after Superstorm Sandy rampaged through the metropolitan New York City region, the area experienced the fury of a second force of nature on Sunday night, that of a focused Pittsburgh Steelers team.  In playing what turned out to be their best game of the season, the Black and Gold overcame an assortment of obstacles to achieve their first true signature victory of the season.

In what was shaping into a seemingly NFL scripted feel good story for the victims of Sandy, it was the Steelers that would pen the final chapter, a 10 point come from behind fourth quarter victory.

Cheers To:
  • Isaac Redman, Ben Roethlisberger, Jerico Cotchery, the offensive line, Lamar Woodley, and the entire Steelers secondary.
Jeers To:
  • The NFL officiating crew.  Seriously, can anyone please explain the Ryan Clark blow to the head (ribs) penalty?

We needed that win. It felt like a statement game to me. Time to stack a couple wins together...we cant overlook these marginal teams ( and play like we did with the titans and raiders).

All in all...based on how we started, the injuries; and 'new system'; i think Steeler nation should be happy to be here at the 1/2 way point.

Briwatt, I want a post this week with the mid season grades....

what MP said....I do think, while wearing my black-n-gold glasses, they could be undefeated.

Should never have lost to the Broncos with Peyton playing his first game in 20 months, on a new team - don't care how great he is....Steelers should never have lost that game. And we can all agree that the Steelers should have handled the Raiders and Titans. But back to reality - I like how the squad is improving as the season progresses.

Also reading that TP is targeting the 1st Ravens game for his return.
