Week 1: Tennessee @ Pittsburgh

Sorry if this was already posted


PITTSBURGH -- Steelers safety Troy Polamalu injured his left knee late in the first half of Thursday night's season opener against the Tennessee Titans and was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Polamalu was injured when Titans tight end Alge Crumpler fell on him as Steelers defensive end Aaron Smith blocked a 31-yard field-goal attempt by Rod Bironas with about three minutes left in the half. Polamalu was attempting to pick up the ball.

There was no immediate word about the severity of Polamalu's injury, but he didn't immediately leave the field for medical treatment. As he left the sideline, Polamalu appeared to gesture as if the injury wasn't serious.

Before he was hurt, Polamalu made a one-handed interception and led both teams in tackles with six.

A two-time All-Pro safety, Polamalu has been chosen for the past five Pro Bowls. He is considered one of the NFL's premier defensive players.

Yea Britt looked like money that game. Gage better get his ass in gear and start catching some footballs otherwise it won't be too long till Britt takes his job and that #1 spot in Tennessee.

That's not a bad thing. I don't mind Gage either but like I said, I :wub: Britt. no homer

Not worried bout the Stafford to Megatron show?

Not as much as I am licking my chops at the pussy's you have on defense. eghem...I mean...the "lions"...you have...on defense...:rolleyes1:

Was going to pick him up but decided to go with Washington instead. Didn't wanna go all out homer and pick Britt too. Might pick him up in another league though.

 

[Shayn•Da•Pain]

Yeah I dropped Ted Ginn Jr for him without batting and eye.

Big Ben does it again.

Where's all those, "if he has to throw the ball, the Steelers lose" idiots?

We have absolutely no run game to speak of, and he came up huge -- thankfully. It's going to be tough to run the rock for us all year.. ugh.

Polamalu made an amazing play at least... and the Titans should def contend for the AFC South title, they looked good.

Clearly you weren't paying attention to the defense Tennessee was running.

Clint Stoerner could have picked them apart.

Even though I was rooting for the Steelers (yes it felt horribly wierd doing that but the Titans are the main in division rival) I couldn't help but get frustrated at the shitty D playcalling by the Titans on the last couple drives . Just rushing 3 and 4 everydown .

 

[longhornfan]

Was it just me or did Kenny Britt just look slow as hell out there?

STFU idiot. Go suck yourself off or lose to Izzy.

Happy the Titans lost.

Chuck Cecil reminded me of Tom Bradley in a big game...and that is NOT a good thing.

Just to stir the pot of those who said it wouldnt make a big impact....Titans did much of the same last year. Except they had the best Dlineman in the league rotating.
Huge difference without him. They lost a ton of depth and talent with him gone. They need to adjust to life after.

Yeah like I said I was happy to see them fucking it up on D but yet it was frustrating to see for some reason lol . You can't just let Ben pumpfake 4 or 5 times then pick a wide open wr on the most important drives of the game

It seemed like just rushing four worked earlier but then the Steelers either figured it out or the Titans D just got tired . And of course rushing 4 with Albert is a hell of a lot different to rushing 4 without him .

Sidenote : How does 0-1 feel Woy (taking a shot while I can :shifty: )

Take your shot while you can. They captialized on our mistakes better than we did on theirs. Besides the kicking game, the team looked really good IMO...until Cecil pulled a Tom Bradley in the second half and overtime. So frustrating to watch.
