Keys to the Game

1. Keep the absence of Troy Polomalu out of your minds and play better defense. Cause havoc with strong tackling and bumrushing Phillip Rivers out the pocket.

2. Ground the Chargers running game.

3. Keep the Chargers secondary on their heels.

4. Offense needs to be on point. Need to start putting more points on the board.

5. Stop playing half-ass in the fourth quarter. That's how the last two losses occur.

Celeb Babe of the Game

Gabrielle Union

[SD2042]

Willie Parker not expected to play due to turf toe injury. Expect Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore to pick up the slack.

Finally it looks like the Steelers got one tonight against the Chargers. Big Ben three for 333yrds tonight. Mendenhall and Moore played strong solid games. Mendenhall got 2 TDs'(best game he played) and Moore scored a TD and threw a TD pass to Heath Miller. The Chargers did mamaged to outplay the Steelers in the fourth and scored 3TDs as the result so the Steelers didn't do that great of a job to keep the Chargers in check despite the win. So the fourth quarter issues still need some work. Otherwise a win is a win. The yhave to keep this up.

glad to see mendenhall break out. i would like for him to play well against the lions and the browns to get his confidence a little higher and see what hes really made of when we play minny. a win is a win but we need to iron out these 4th quarter issues that we are having. ben looked sharp and played well and harrison is starting to get to the quarterback which is a good sign for our d. now woodley needs to step it up. im not sure if i would bring troy back next week like somebody said on sunday night football. i would sit him one more week, play him against the browns to get him back in the flow of things that way hes 100 percent for the vikings.

oh yeah wallace is gonna make all the steeler fans forget about sweed. very good looking rookie!

[SD2042]

Wallace continues to impress me on the field every week. It's good to have him as a Steeler.

[Canomad]

i think we are gonna be counting on wallace alot later on in the season when things really start heating up. he goes in and he does what is asked of him and that is catch the ball. i wanna see ben get him the ball in space so we can see that 4.3 speed hes got.
