After that game last week, I had to get away from this team and put that game in the past. Hopefully Big Ben and company have done the same thing and put that game in the past as well.

You know guys we could really be controlling our own destiny, still at 5-2 we're only two games behind the Titans........who I don't believe in yet. Not as long as Kerry Collins is at QB.

After last weeks lost and how we just gift wrapped it so to speak, I hope that's the last one we give away.

In case of the Titans, it's their D-line that's allow them to have the better chances to winning all their games so far. They also benefit from their running game with LenDale White and rookie Chris Johnson scoring TD's for the Titans. so until the Titans run across a team who will force them to go to their passing game and shut don the running game, they will continue to win games.

That or one good shot to the QB, which would force Vince Young back into the mix. That could potentially spell disaster for the Titans in the second half of the season. Young will force the issue and throw the pic that the veteran has been able to stay away from.

Very true, but we lose this game tonight and we will find ourselves tied up record wise with the Ravens.

Thankfully the Steelers beat the Skins on MNF, but how much at the cost of Big Ben's shoulder?

Is it the same shoulder that was injured to start the season? I saw the dang play during the game.

Leftwich looked good out there though, so if Big Ben has to sit for a week or two to get healed up, I feel alright with Leftwich going for a game or two. It is like the first time he has been mobile and able to slide around in the pocket since he was a sophmore at Marshal. I was also impressed with the zip he had on the ball, his passes were sharp and crisp.
