Steelers Left Licking Our Wounds

OK, so the Steelers looked terrible last night. Here are a few things to consider as we lick our wounds and prepare to take on Oakland next Sunday:

1) William Gay looked lost. In face, our secondary generally looked lost and that short pass in the flag burned us every time.

2) Jeff Reid. C'mon man! It's time for us to start shopping for a new kicker. I'm not sure what the problem is, but his missing seemingly easy field goals, especially at home, is becoming alarming at best.

3) Polamalu needs to slow it down! Troy bit on the play action way too often last night.

4) Protection. We have so many injuries on the offensive line that it's making me sick. It may well be time to move some guys up from the practice squad and give them a shot.

5) Hines Ward is that important. The lack of Hines Ward in the lineup early may well have spelled doom for the Steelers. Despite the fact that he hasn't been catching near the number of passes as in the past, his blocking and his leadership is crucial.

And now, a few words about Dixie's Tavern. Dixie's claims to be Charlotte's home of the Steelers. Apparently, it's also home to people who expect reserved seating, bad service and bad attitudes. We ran in to some folks visiting from New Orleans and they told us Dixies had NO tables, and the manager was extremely rude to them.

We've heard this quite a bit lately, so if you're a Dixie's regular, come see us Dilworth Neighborhood Grille. We can always make room. We have at least two huge projection screen TVs available, and the service and food is always great.
