Golly what will they come up with next?

I know, stopping the other team from scoring will help us win as well!

What......40% of the Steelers starting O line were undrafted free agents and there is concern about pass protection and running game?? Same old story for the last 5 seasons.

IN OTHER NEWS.......THERE IS UNREST IN THE MIDDLE EAST. and in weather...periods of daily sunlight, followed by 100% chance of darkness in the evening.

Stay classy Squirrel Hill.:pop2:
