The Doobie Brothers bring their "A" game

[In Ben We Trust]

Close to 250 yards combined?? That's impressive.

 

[In Ben We Trust]

Make that over 250....Blount just had another karate kid run.

 

[Stryker]

When's the last time we had 2 100yd runners? Harris and Rocky?

 

[nooneuno]

I think the O line deserve some credit too, Wallace looked good in there he could challenge Foster for his spot. Also props to Gilbert, good comeback after last weeks performance.

First time in 28 years apparently. So must of been in late 80's no clue who.

 

[Chicoman]

1986 was the last time we had 2 100yd rushers in a single game. Dungy said in the post game he was an assistant coach with the Steelers when that last happened.

 

[Steelr4evr]

That was a a joy to watch.

 

[Drink IRON City]

Take it, a great flip from prior week !!!!! Amazing what happens when Hailey make the flight...... !!!!



Salute the nation

Frank Pollard and Walter Abercrombie against the Oilers.

 

[steelcan58]

No coincidence that we're using a FB.

Frank Pollard and Walter Abercrombie against the Oilers.

Nope, Walter Abercrombie 109 yards and Earnest Jackson 132 yards against the Bengals, October 26, 1986

Cheech and Chong had an awesome night!

So did the O-line, especially DeCastro.

Great to see old Steelers football in action!

 

[slashsteel]

Sometimes a embarrassing loss can serve as a wakeup call.

Just maybe that is what we saw take place.

 

[SteelerSask2]

Loved when Cheech finished that run on the goaline. That was friggen awesome. He needs more touches.

 

[Wingman]

At the end of the game interviews Bell was asked something like how he stays so patient when running so the holes open up. I was waiting for him to say he gets all toked up before the game and comes in real mellow.

Exactly. Nice to see some power football again.

 

[Wingman]

Actually they both looked good tonight. They had some plays for loss but once they got into the game they seemed to be moving the ball well. Nice thing about Hailey's offense the short passes, the running game kept Ben from getting killed and kept moving the ball. Penalties were killers and really slowed down the offense and defense. After the second half they seemed like they started clicking.

There's nothing like a punch them in the mouth and beat them in the trenches mentality. It breaks the opposing teams will. Which is what happened to Carolina tonight. It also sends a message to the next team your going to play.

This ^^^^

Tampa knows that the Steelers have Ben, and Brown, and Wheaton.

They are now thinking, "Oh, @#$%, what now? Play 6 or 7 in the box to make sure Brown does not cook our ***, and watch Bell and Blount hammer us. Or put 8 in the box, and watch Wheaton and Brown running loose in the secondary ... "

 

[hamster]

And, they held onto the ball.

 

[hook]

OK. Which one is Cheech and which one is Chong?

 

[pittbull]

As much as I hate Dion Sanders, he gave me a chuckle in one of the post games. Very casually he said, "Nobody wants the hit that Blount."

Nice to see Bell give so much credit to the OLine after the game.

My thoughts exactly!!!!!

 

[insaniti]

Bell is second in the league in rushing yards, with a 5.9 yard average. He's first in the league in yards from scrimmage. Where's that poster that said he'd never be any good or improve on his 3.5 rookie average?

What's really nice is that you can see why the team took him instead of Lacy. He really puts in the work, stays patient, doesn't panic, reads the defense and takes what they give him. He is the most complete back I've seen in a Steelers uniform period. Really coming into his own, the more he plays like this, the better our offense will be. And when he's running like this, it really fires up Blount as well. He came in and delivered the knock-out blow we've been missing since Bettis retired.

Excellent game from these two and our OL.

The title of this thread literally made me laugh out loud.
