After a humiliating 20 point loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers will attempt to add a second victory in the win column this weekend against the undefeated Carolina Panthers who are coming off a win against the Detroit Lions.
The Steelers hope to fix their defensive ailments with stopping the run a priority. They could take a lesson from the Panthers who lead the NFL with six takeaways while giving up none.
The demise of Jermichael Finley’s football playing days may just have been a bit exaggerated as the 27 year old Tight End attempts to come back from a bruised spinal cord injury he received in week 7 of the 2013 season against the Cleveland Browns.
“Pittsburgh have showed me a couple deals, but we all know the money ain’t what it’s supposed to be,” Finley said Monday. “If I quit the game right now, I can take tax-free money, and that’s a difficult thing that I’m going through with myself …”
The ‘tax-free’ money Finley referred to is a $10 million insurance policy he would be able cash in if he were to never take another snap.
With 11 Wide Receivers on the current Steelers roster, the team believes that this could be one of the deepest in the NFL at the receiver position.
“I think some guys that are pretty good football players probably won’t make the team,” Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley said
The receiving squad are led by recently signed veteran Lance Moore who brings 4,281 yards and 38 touchdowns from the New Orleans Saints who cut him and RB Darren Sproles this off season. Moore caught some flack when he was asked to compare quarterbacks Drew Brees and “Big” Ben Roethlisberger.
“I would say that Ben has a little bit stronger of an arm, maybe a lot stronger arm,” Moore told ESPN. “Just from the last couple of days with him here, that’s something that kind of jumps out at me. If you are kind of lazy with your eyes the ball will zoom right past you. That’s something that I will have to adjust to. I feel like the quarterback should never really have to adjust to the receiver.”
Saints fans went crazy over those comments prompting Moore to tweet a follow up.
“Everybody down south is mad now? Never said I disliked Drew or am not thankful for my time w him. Wouldn’t be where I am w/o him. Chill out,” Moore posted on his Twitter account.
It has been a rough beginning t o the 2013-14 NFL season for the Pittsburgh Steelers but even so, and even sitting with a 3-6 record, hope abounds in the Steelers locker room that the playoffs are not yet out of reach. Most team members agree.
“Do I think we can?” Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor said. “Yeah. We’ve just got to stop being consistent at being inconsistent.”
Head Coach Mike Tomlin thinks that his team has put in the effort.
“I expect the attitude to be what it is,” Tomlin said. “It’s not like I’m throwing a pep rally because the attitude is appropriate. We’ve got a lot of challenges in front of us. This is something we sign up for and are called to do. I like the energy, but what we need is results.”
Great seats and tickets are still available for this Sunday’s match up.
Back when this game was announced, it was looked upon as an event that will help to push the NFL brand in the United Kingdom. Then reality came calling.
The Minnesota Vikings have yet to get off the ground this season falling to the Lions, Bears and the Browns while the Steelers have succumbed to the Titans, Bengals and the Bears.
Adding insult to injury, Vikings QB Christian Ponder is now listed as doubtful with a rib injury picked up against the Browns.
“we’re going to push it to the limit and see what we can do, in a smart way. But I’m doing everything I can to play,” Ponder said.
The 3-0 Chicago Bears exposed the Pittsburgh Steelers weakness and exploited every one of them for a 40-23 victory Sunday night.
The Steelers will next face the win less Minnesota Vikings Sunday Sept. 29th. Great seats area still available!
The Pittsburgh Steelers, still reeling from a 27-24 heartbreak loss last weekend will attempt to regain form against Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals. For the Bengals, a victory against the Steelers could conceivably knock them out of the playoffs.
Steelers LB Larry Foote but it succently
“We’re going to see what we’re made of. We’re going to fold to the pressure or make love to it,” Foote said.
For the Bengals, it will take Dalton a near perfect game and the knowledge that the team controls their own destiny.
“Yeah, we’ve got everything in front of us. We’ve put ourselves in a good position to control everything,” Dalton said. “So these last two games are two big games for us. We’ve got to come out and show what kind of team we are, and there’s not better opponents to do it against than the Steelers and the Ravens.”
In his second game back from injury, Ben Roethlisberger and his Pittsburgh Steelers dropped another game but Ben is taking the blame for this one.
“Yes, absolutely,” he said after being asked if he let his team down. “One-hundred percent. This is on me. I let the team, the fans, everybody down.”
The Cowboys have won their last two games and are facing the New Orleans Saints next week while the Steelers take on the Cincinnati Bengals on the 23rd of December.
