That was a fun way to put a Patriots’ loss in the rear-view mirror.
Pittsburgh completely dominated the Raiders, and if it hadn’t been for the officials’ flag-happy tendencies, we may have seen a blowout of historic proportions.
We’ll have more analysis of the game on the podcast, but here are some thoughts during the game.
(You can read Ryan’s thoughts from the game here (http://www.steelerslounge.com/2010/11/steelers-overcome-penalties-whip-raiders-353/).)
It’s nice to see the Steelers’ coaching staff respond to the problems we all saw in the loss to the Patriots. You read here (http://www.steelerslounge.com/2010/11/analyzing-offensive-line-trai-essex-weakest-link/) how Trai Essex was the player who has serious problems in the running game — Pittsburgh replaced him with Ramon Foster.
There’s been a general consensus that the wide receivers for the Steelers have lacked enough quickness and explosiveness to make secondaries sweat — so Pittsburgh activated Anthony Brown and Emmanuel Sanders in the same week and played both of them in four wide receiver formations. It’s great to see guys who can get open against solid corners.............
