Holy shit, I missed the game today...that play by polimolu is sick.

Steelers ant no fanasty football team, they're built with depth and have a chance to go deep into the playoffs if they can work out there current problems.

funny you say that. i started out the fantasy season 0-5 with a variety of good players. after that i decided to have a team full of steelers (the only thing i am missing is the defense, which would help a lot). since then i have won 3 of the last 4 games. i am going to lose this week, but only because the guy i am playing is undefeated.

but yes. they are definitely a good team. their defense is the best in the league (not much argument there, 2nd in points allowed, 1st in total yards, pass yards, rushing yards, and sacks), and their offense is very efficient and can stay on the field for 8-10 minutes at a time when roethlisberger is playing smart. after blowing the colts game, i cant see him trying anything stupid from this point forward.

the only negatives from this game against the chargers are that they had a ton of penalties (13 for 115 yards), and their drives seemed to fizzle out once they got close to FG range, although their final drive was pretty much perfect (except for the holding penalty on a willie parker TD, ironically, lol).

they have a shitty schedule though, hardest in the NFL this year: NE, DAL, BAL, and TEN all coming up.

That is going to be a tough game for the Cards. I hope they can pull it off and beat them tho

GO Cards

Good game by Seattle. They played good with Hasselbeck, but you can tell he is a little rusty.

Go Cards

Yeah, I was glad to see a good game at least. Too bad it wasn't more interesting at the end.

I don't know man, he's a good QB made to look great by the west coast offense. And why the hate for holmgren? He's an extremely good coach, and he turned the entire franchise around in the last decade.

Is it because Andy Reid will never live up to his mentor?

Lol Hasselbeck would be successful without that fat loser. I hate Seattle, and holmgren, but Hass is a stud.

Hasselbeck; the "franchise" quarterback that is showing his age and that probably wouldn't be as successful without Mike Holmgren and the West coast offense.

Last season was statistically his best.

Hasselbeck will play. It makes the seahawks about 10-15% better at best.

Hasselwho?

I have heard reports he is upgraded to "questionable", which is usually a go for a QB. Either way, I dont see the Cards losing. Boldin is going to go off, like he always does. At least Philly has a cupcake this week, we could use a team like Cincy to get rolling against.
