Have a feeling Willie Colon is going to be picking up a 15 yarder against the Giants.

Colon has been salty as fuck the past few weeks.
I hope he pushes the Giants d-line shit in (without the retarded penalties)! All game baby! All day!

Are you saying you want to watch him have anal sex with members of the Giants defense?
Lol, the Steelers benefiting from holding calls? Ask Harrison and Woodley what they think of holding calls.
Probably won't get much done against Canty or Joseph, will probably win most of the battles against Bernard, even more so against Kuhn or Austin (not sure which one is going to be inactive). I'm honestly terrified of Miller in this game.
Better the Giants get their shit pushed in than us!
You got this. The Giants are so scared they are pulling reverse Katrina tactics on you

How is that whining? Harbs just wanted them to look at it to get his boy the NFL record!

Depends who is doing the pushing.

Hopefully it's right at the beginning of the game. Put that D-Line in its place for the whole contest.
Well i'll take a W and talk rather than a loss and talk like certain players... we gave them that win so forth and so on... we beat ourselves... that crap...
Wow some Steelers fans are salty as hell
I feel really nervous about this game versus the Ravens.
Not like I feel the Browns will contend for anything but it just feels like if they can win this game the future seems a whole lot brighter going forward.
Even if they lose things still seem good but I dunno it just feels like this is one of the more important games of the season for the Browns.

Looking at the Steelers/Giants match up, it's amazing how similarly the teams are built. They have the same strengths; clutch qb, defensive front seven. The same perceived weaknesses; secondary, o-line. Heck, they both have built in excuses for losing the game, revolving around Sandy. Also, this is apparently only the 7th time in NFL history that multiple SB winning qb's will match up in the regular season. This should be a fun game, even if it's not well played.

Despite what Giants fans say their O-line is not a weakness.

It is definitely one of the best OLs in the NFL.
David Diehl is any O-line's kryptonite
Also really... a game where the replacement refs were officiating, you know how good they were.... let's just bring them back...
They overrated last year too (only showed up during the end of the season if that...)
DeaconKnowledge

Yup. Also, their D-line is overrated this year.
I think Norv and Romeo deserve as much time as they need to fully develop into the best HC they can be. You can't really put a time limit on it, as these things take time. Cut them some slack and give them at least the amount of time Manning is in Denver (3-5 years) to really get things figured out. I'm sure it will work out.

If we're talking about career assistants, throw Ron Rivera in there too.
Getting Canty back two weeks ago is going to help out a ton. Biggest difference you'll see going forward. Tuck and Osi have fallen off, and Joseph was forced to take almost all snaps. Kuhn is a 7th round rookie.
It's not that way now, or was until Diehl is back in, because they've got healthy guys in. It is not inaccurate to suggest these past three seasons the Giants OL has been a weak link. Diehl-McKenzie was one of the worst tackle combo in the league last year, and that was strictly in pass pro. They were dead last in running. Getting Bennett in to pass block, and Eli makes this line look better than they are. It's not that hard to understand.

Agreed. The same goes for Rex Ryan and Sanchez. You can't rush these things, you know? Let's not make any rash decisions that we'll end up regretting.

I personally wouldn't mind if the Saints kept Joe Vitt at head coach. I think he's got a good thing going over there.
How many times have I told you that despite what you dream about at night Tammy is not properly equipped to do that to you.
Now forget about him and get on board the RGIII bandwagon otherwise we are going to start thinking you are a racist.
100% agreed. The future for everyone will be very bright if the Brownies can win and the Pats miss the playoffs.

What happened to JPP? He had his break out season and now he's ghost silent. Kind of reminds me of my avatar here.
Last year was last year. This year the Giants O-line are eating fools. Manning is having a career year because he's being kept clean as hell.
Certainly, haste is not the answer.
From small beginnings come great things.

If you think JPP is ghost silent, you aren't watching the games or are judging him based completely on sack numbers. He's been a force all season long. If it wasn't for he and Joseph the Dline would have fallen off entirely. Canty's return has been and will continue to be big and Tuck has been coming on the past few games finally.DeaconKnowledge said:
He had a career year when he wasn't. Eli makes the offensive line looks good at times but I agree - this years offensive line has been stellar ever since Diehl went down and more importantly, Will Beatty took over the LT position. I've talked him up several times because he's really been one of the biggest difference makers.DeaconKnowledge said:

I think JPP is ghost silent in the same way that I think Timmons is silent - not showing up on the stat sheet. Obviously there is much more to defensive play then sacks, but last year JPP was performing his responsibilities AND putting up huge numbers.
You can only have a career year once.

Looks like Dwyer is out for Sunday. Redman will start, so it'll be Redman, Rainey and Batch....Ben better play lights out.

...dammit. How is Mendenhall doing?
You're right about Ben, may as well just throw deep passes to Wallace, I don't trust our OL for anything
JPP is fine. A force against the run, getting pressure, doing his job. You're right the Giants have several very overrated players on defense, namely Osi, Tuck, and Rolle. It might not be from guys like me, Future, or others on GAF here, but you see all the time in the media or in regular fanbases point out how they're top players on this team.
The OL is doing well this year, not going to deny that at all. But they've been terrible, bottom of the league quality, prior to this. What happens when you have trash at OT and a guy like Will Beatty can stay healthy.
Timmons was sucking ass until Harrison came back. He looked like shit. He has looked again since then and hopefully he keeps it up. He is the only guy with a chance in hell on our team of tackling a running back and stopping the run game. Speaking of run games...
:lol
In addition to Ben playing lights out it would help if Rainey ran one back and it did not called back for holding. He is due for a big return and we could use that this week.

Guess Mendenhall is improving, but they have him listed as doubtful. They can't keep one starter healthy at the position for some reason, it's like the Kugler curse has seeped into the RBs.
Who plays in place of Woodley? He'll likely be matched up with Diehl, sigh.
Thought of Timmons for some reason, scratch that.

5 passes defensed, an interception, forced fumble, 30 solo tackles, 11 assists, 25 QB hurries, 14 QB hits, 5.5 sacks in 8 games.DeaconKnowledge said:
Yep, ghost silent. Only if you're looking at that sack number.
Striker already covered it. He's done more than his job. Tuck and Osi have been invisible up until the last two games where Tuck is finally starting to look a bit more like himself.
We're not a great run defense, unfortunately.Spectral Glider said:
No idea. Probably some total garbo player like Worilds.
If Diehl can't easily handle Worilds then he shouldn't be allowed to play in the league anymore.

Rumor going around that this is Mendenhall's last season in Pittsburgh.
Also, Ta'amu is as good as gone too.
DeaconKnowledge
Member
I stand corrected. Admittedly all i've seen of him where the games I watched and he didn't seem as inspired as he did last year.
Jason Worilds. Utility player really. Strong at the point of attack but not special at all otherwise.
That's good because Redman isn't a great runner.
edit: post faster you idiots.

Just hurts reading it. Locklear will come in as a blocking TE in the Giants jumbo packages.
In the good news category, Stevie Brown has been confirmed as starting safety. Phillips will be brought in slowly in some three safety sets.
It's not about the money!
Been a lot of talk about if the fans have been too hard on him.

Good run defender.
