Even with a sprain there is no way he can make cuts. He needs to run ahead of the tackle and avoid being so blatantly targeted a majority of the time. And I am not calling for deceptive trick plays, just some common freakin' sense in calling plays.

PITT 'optimistic' Le'Veon avoided ACL damage (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8390/leveon-bell)

Profootballtalk's Mike Florio reports the Steelers are "optimistic" Le'Veon Bell has avoided ACL damage, and that his injury is limited to his MCL.

Even though it would still be a multi-week injury, that would qualify as the best possible news after Bell got rolled up in ugly fashion Sunday afternoon. Bell will undergo further testing either this evening or tomorrow morning. A season-ending injury still can't be ruled out, but we have legitimate reason for optimism.

Yup.

All the stupid shit that is constantly going wrong gives this season the feeling that it is just not our year. Literally another setback every single week since the start of preseason.

Bell's injury didn't exactly have the look of an ACL, but even if it's the same injury as Ben, for an RB your whole season is going to be fucked up. Maybe you get to come back for 2 or 3 games and feel about 70%, like Troy used to. That's not going to be completely better until sometime in the offseason.

If todays game didn't show the coaches what Archer really is, they will never see it. You don't want to cut him, OK. Put him on the sideline and we have our first chearleader. Just don't let him touch the ball.

The biggest mistake the coaches made was to still be playing for the division, instead of the wild card, and playoffs. Ben should not have come back today, still, no this season is not over.

The season isn't over and we still don't know the exact diagnosis on Le'Veon. However, DeAngelo will be able to handle the load while Le'Veon is out. DeAngelo is a dependable back up who still has some gas left in the tank. He can still make guys miss, can hit a hole using good vision and speed, and is a good runningback in the redzone.

I'm not saying that Bell isn't better than DeAngelo Williams. But, there won't be as much of a drop off as some would think.

Bell was aversging 120 yards from scrimmage.
Williams had 110 yards from scrimmage.

The season is far from over.

String together a few wins here in the next two weeks, head into the bye at 6-4 with sole possession of the wild card spot, then go from there.

D-Lo is no slouch. He's better than half of the starting RBs in the NFL, and he's a BACKUP.
He isn't Le'Veon, that's for sure. However, he can get the job done.

Ben is going to light it up next week against Oakland. He's not the type of QB to have back to back subpar outings. We're playing for our season now. It's do or die.

Williams tore it up in the first two weeks of the season. So let's not panic, YET.

Having said all of this, I don't think we win a playoff game, if we get there. I can see this team still getting to 10-6 and making the postseason. But, I don't think they'll do much after that.

With all of these injuries, we're bound to stay healthy next year, right?!?!?
The deep playoff run is next season. This defense is truly becoming a force. If the offense is healthy next season, with an easier schedule as well, we have a legit shot at a top seed.

Given the fact that our season has been negatively impacted by at least one major injury to at least one key player the past 5 years, we are overdue for a season with no significant injuries, especially with the way key players have been injured at a ridiculous rate this year.

A "known given" huh? If you're going to trot out that sort of lexicon at least be accurate with the usage. :doh:

Here's some real known givens.

There's 8 games left in the season.

The two AFC wild card spots are wide open to this point. A 4-4 record excludes you from neither.

The Steelers passing offense terribly under performed yesterday. Partly because Ben didn't play particularly well after the first series. But also because our wide receivers played poorly.

Our qb is not as bad as he looked yesterday.

Our receivers are capable of much better than they displayed yesterday.

If the last two "known givens" correct themselves in time, given the way the defense has played,given that DeAngelo Williams is a competent back for our offense, we could indeed be a contender before this thing is all through.

Ben was stiff/rusty as hell and look at how little he targeted AB !! Was this do to AB being tightly covered or what ? I dunno. I would like to hear why Ben didn't throw to him.

That 3rd INT by Ben was purely an out of body play by Shawn Williams. That was one of the most spectacular INTs I have ever seen!

Why because he dropped one last week?

He averaged around 20 catches a season, Bell had over 80 alone last season - there is a reason for the difference: Bell has Marshall Faulk-level hands.

DW isn't incapable of catching the ball; he's just no where near as skilled as Bell is at it.

Let me help you out here. A "true contender" means you have plausible chance of beating all other top teams. If you think this team can beat the Denvers and Pats of the league without Bell....well, let's just say we can agree to disagree. Can we somehow just barely make the play offs? I'd say that is possible, but not likely. I don't even think we beat the Raiders this week.

No need to "help me out", I'm a grown man. I don't need condescending phony concern.

If Ben gets his game right our offense is still among the league's best even without Bell. Bryant, Brown, Miller all are good players. If Villenueva grows into the job a bit more the o-line is more than competent. If we can start scoring in the high 20's and above the defense will do enough and we can compete with the teams we have on our schedule.

I don't pretend to know where the season is headed. I could see us winning games, gaining momentum and confidence, and being a tough out in the playoffs. And I can just as well see a total derailment ahead. Our season is currently balanced on the head of a pin.

Anyway bottom line until the final breath is drawn I choose not to declare the body dead.

TeeTee, why do you even post here? Our season is far from over. DW is proving to be the best off season acquisition we made. Ben will bounce back and our WR's will as well. Our Def is playing light years better than anyone of us could have predicted. We have held the top 2 scoring offenses to their lowest point totals this year, we were honestly a rusty Ben pass away from beating one of the contenders. The only team we have left to play in the regular season we probably dont have a chance of beating is the Broncos, and only if their Offense continues to get better (because before last night, they were lucky to be undefeated). Heading into the post season 6-2 or 7-1 will mean we are going in hot and if things are clicking on offense and our def continues to improve week to week we will be that team nobody wants to see. I know the Raiders are playing much better this season, but they still have a young QB and some big holes. They are very beatable, we just have to clean up the mistakes and our stars have to play like stars.

Even if I was in Denver at one of the pot shops there would be no way I could smoke enough grass to contemplate the Steelers being competitive in anything at this point. They play down to the lower teams and simply don't have the health or horses to play with the top teams. That's why they could finish worse than .500.

Another thing for concern: When DW is the steady ball carrier, doesn't he have a history of injuries as well? I have maintained since we picked him up that if Bell is out for any long period, DW will likely also go out with an injury. He runs hard, is tough, but does get dinged.

Yes, technically, it is not over, of course. We have 8 more games to play. But when I say "It's over" I am using that term as in it's over from the perspective of realistically being a contender. We are a long shot as far as that goes. We can't realistically think we are gonna beat NE or Denver at this point. That's all I meant.

And we still have to overcome our coaching. That is a ball and chain. We still are wasting downs with trick plays and Tomlin still just can't make even basic good decisions, on personnel or game-time calls. It's a lot to overcome. Oh, and we are not going to win in Seattle and will drop 2 more between Raiders, Browns twice, Cinci or Ravens or Colts. We got four more losses coming.

It is odd to me, you usually have to like a team to be a fan, but maybe that is just me. I think we could play NE just fine with a healthy Ben, its not like they beat us badly. We had some blown assignments which shouldn't happen again. We were also missing our #1a WR and #1 RB (although DW played well). Our Def is much better now, and more comfortable, so no, they dont really scare me. The only team that scares me is the Broncos, again, only IF their offense has started coming around (we will see in the next couple weeks) because easily have the best Def in the league right now. Even after that, our offense has the capability of playing there Def to a draw. If things start to click, Off, Def and ST start playing like they can, we are absolutely a contender.

Even after that, our offense has the capability of playing there Def to a draw. If things start to click, Off, Def and ST start playing like they can, we are absolutely a contender.

Exactly.

Scobee missed TWO field goals in that Taperiots game. Plus, DHB effed up a touchdown. That is 11 points that the Steelers offense should have had. Add Martavis Bryant, and voila!!! I could see the Steelers putting 39 points up on the Tapes.

Additionally, Pittsburgh's defense is holding offenses to around 17 points. I could see them holding the Taperiots to under 30 points.

AFCCG:
Steelers 39
Taperiots 27

I still say if Ben can get back to being healthy this offense could still be a monster and, a dangerous team in the playoffs. Plus if the defense can play like they did last week who knows anything could happen.

The original ban was only 2 weeks, and as soon as it expired, he came back to post a thread entitled "I was banned..." with the following OP:

And now I ban you.

He was immediately perma-banned at that point.

Heh, it's okay by me to thoroughly discredit his idiot posts in absentia. We inexplicably have a lot of gloomy fans (we're not the Browns guys! 6 rings!), but this was over the top. When a team is good, and has heart, the season is never over until they are eliminated.

You have to admit that it is rare to see the Steelers dominate on all sides of the ball on a consistent basis. They usually manage to do just enough to win. I recall that roller coaster ride in my stomach over the course of games and seasons where you don't know what is going to happen.

I didn't have that feeling in the 1970s. I always knew like a Jedi if they made it to the Super Bowl they would win.

Yep. It was a foregone conclusion for me back then that they weren't going to lose, especially the big games. But then they had 9 future HoFers and a couple of others that should have been HoFers.

However, I WAS nervous pretty late into SB XIV. Ferragamo played much better than I ever expected him to.

Yep. Especially since they got blown out by the Chargers and Bungles that year and had to comeback and go into overtime vs the Stains at Three Rivers. You could see the cracks in the dynasty forming that year.

I was so tense during XIV that when Bradshaw threw the TD to Stallworth, I almost broke my mom's flower vase sitting on the coffee table. :faint::faint::grin::grin:

There is a disruption in the force. Too many early season hurdles and a coach that has problems getting up for bad teams all the time. No margin for error in many years under this coaching staff.

They don't deserve to make the playoffs. If you can't come out and play as if life depended on it in this game, you don't deserve it. The difference was the 3 that Tomlin chose to pass on.

Another year where the Steelers miss out on the playoff spot because of idiot coaching by Mike Dumblin. What should be a 13-2 team right now is instead a 9-6 team on the outside looking in

They would have been stupid to win that game. You don't shoot yourself in the foot unless you are the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jets are easily beatable. They gave that game away to try to keep the Steelers out of the playoffs.

No. Fuck both of those teams. All that does is make it so we technically have an outside chance next week, but we're relying on the idiot Bills to win a meaningless game when their opponents are all fired up, and possibly a bunch of other random shit to happen too. We all know how that story goes.

It's not meaningless to Rex Ryan. Not saying they're going to do it. But you can bet Rex will have his team ready to play? What would be better from Rex's perspective than eliminating the team that fired you the season before.

This. The thing that goes against Rex is that he beat them in New York once this season. You would think...losing at home...may be motivation for a team to go on the road and attempt to avoid the sweep...you would think...

Had this team fired up ready to play, when it was all on the line. Rivalry, playoffs on the line play like week one bullshit, that is the mark if a Tomlin coached team
