Despite the Oakland Raiders and the officials' best efforts, the Steelers hosted a blow out Sunday at Heinz Field. The celebration has already started and it was great to see the defense and offense step up in true Black and Gold fashion. That said, there are a few things to be considered before we go into next weekend's game at Buffalo:
1) The Offensive line is banged up and banged up bad. Many of the "penalties" called Sunday were holding calls on second-stringers brought in to bolster the line. We can only hope that the O line is in better shape next Sunday and, possibly more importantly, in two weeks when we take on Baltimore.
2) C'mon refs, please let them play! The refs were the story all day Sunday. This is an entertainment business and Goodell needs to sit down with this officiating crew and get some things straightened out. We're already on egg shells this year with fines and the like, but these bozos were calling penalties I've never heard of. Picking someone off of the pile? Putting his full weight on the quarterback? Something seriously needs to change or the NFL is going to have more problems than it's going to want to deal with this off season. Oh, and by the way, did I mention that the collective bargaining agreement comes to an end at the close of the 2010 season. Hmmmm....
3) We had an awesome day at Dilworth Neighborhood Grille. Service was awesome as usual and the food was outstanding!
Thanks to everyone that came out. We'll see you next Sunday!
