I'd like to see Adibi in the mix....tho i dont think he'll beat Diles or Greenwood out
 
Guys, this was going to be a loss anyway. I just don't like how bad we're losing. I have faith next week against the Ravens at home.
 
Interesting, we can pass the ball when... the defense knows we'll pass.. very interesting indeed...
 
Maybe garbage points, but I needed that Schaub TD for my fantasy team.
 
Thats it, 38-17... Not pretty at all, but the season is here and despite the end score, I'm still happy :)

Yep ... this started in Dallas .

If the Texans don't get a clue pretty quick , what's going to happen when they play the Titans and Jags . Those teams will be more than happy to slap them them around .

I'm getting a bad feeling that we're to light in the britches in the interior OL/DL lines . I guess you can't chop if they run you over .
 
Ugh, that sucked. Hopefully this Hurricane Ike doesn't screw up things next weekend and we can rebound against the Ravens at home next weekend.
 
I expected this loss. The Steelers are better than we are by a long shot. However, we have to regroup. We must be 3-4 by the bye week or this season is shot.
 
That sucked. I don't care if it is Week 1. How many times is our team gonna come out and look so unprepared? It's amazing to me. Still no halftime adjustments. Still no DC with a set of stones to take some risks. Mario played outstanding, DeMeco was okay, Brown struggled but he is a rook, Schuab had a tough day. Slaton looked impressive. He really ran hard. What the hell happened to Chris Taylor, Kubes? The guy deserves at least a chance, doesn't he? Amazing.

I don't care what Polo or anyone says, Richard Smith is a terrible playcaller. Perfect example: 3rd & 9 with Byron Leftwich in the shotgun. Play Call: Soft zone, rush four, no pressure, Leftwich almost completes the pass. Garbage, garbage, garbage. Dick Lebeau kept bringing it on us until the final play.

I flipped over and watched some of the Titans v Jags game. Get ready Schaub, because it ain't over yet. Williams and Schwartz were bringing it all day long.

Is it too early to get rid of Richard Smith like we should have the past 2 offseasons? We are getting destroyed on the sidelines and the field, their coaches are owning ours.

What does Richard Smith Have to with the second year corner back walking himself out of position pre snap and or not having enough athletes to compete with a pretty fair rushing attack ? Not to mention being exposed in the back seven for not having enough athletes to compete with the Steeler receivers ? I still do not under stand this kind of logic.

Couple of knee jerk things: I was very disappointed in the backside blocking at the start of the game. No back side cut blocks. No one on the ground. Our guru just got his hat handed to him by their defensive guru. Gibbs just got his but whipped in toto by Dick Lebeau. One of the key calls from LeBeau....bracketing Dav Anderson , the Z receiver, on a simple out pattern which led to an early interception. I don't know, and I'm not in the room...but that was either a mighty fine guess, or someone was reading tendencies and trends this summer and trumped our offensive co-coordinator. I thought Duane Brown had a very good game considering what he was up against. You know it's bad when it's the third quarter before your QB has time to find his TE in the seam.

I expected Fred Bennett to have a bit of a sophomore slump...but the very poor tackling and the bad decisions on angles is unacceptable. That's got to be corrected before next week or we'll get pretty much the same thing against the Ravens.

Does this have anything to do with the Texans game?

Anyway.....


This is one game and thankfully it's only the first one of 16. Pittsburgh is a good team, I don't like them but I respect them. I want to see how this team bounces back next week. Baltimore is another good defensive unit.

All i got to say is ....................... texans=:jogger:

run for there lives out of Pitts .........


its just one game guyz .....there is always next week .........
 
this game just showed how much work we have to do...it's already a memory as far as I'm concerned...great game for Mario but he needs help. Let's get it right for next week against the Ravens.
 
that's the difference in having a storied history and team pride and having a losing history and certain guys with no pride...

Pittsburgh's O-line has been hearing all week how much they would suck because Faneca was gone... they came out with something to prove and only allowed two sacks to Super Mario. No one will blame them for that. They ran the ball right down our necks.

what's missing from this Texans team?
Team Pride.

Or the Steelers have called off the dogs are running their zone and our #1's get to compete with some of their number twos ? Texans have always done well in garbage time when the game is out of hand the last couple of years. You'd think that little tid-bit would give some folks a clue . But obviously it doesn't.
