Hat trick! Too bad nobody else played along with him.
Agreed!Quote:

He gets the game ball. Secondly if give it to Ben.
He did have a really good game. It was his best game of the year so far.
His best game as a Steeler.Quote:

I can agree with that.Quote:

It had very little to do with desire, It was more to do with the coverage the patriots were playing.Quote:

If your telling me cotchery had that game because he played hard then I ask you what has he been doing during the rest of steelers tenure?Quote:

Damn they should have traded him to the Patriots last week for whatever they could get. :doh: Not saying he's playing poorly, but he's not going to be part of the future, and this team this year is just playing out the string. So what a waste!
It had nothing to do with cotchery playing harder than anyone else, It had to do with coverage he was getting.Quote:

Well I want to see wheaton first, I didn't think he was all that impressive in college (I didn't think sanders was either). Sanders really hasn't been as good as his stats, because he does nothing for most of the game and then late in the game when we are down he piles up some garbage stats.Quote:

He's a nice player to have around.
By the way our top 3 wideouts are way ahead of the pace set by last year's top 3 wr's to this point. Yeah it would be nice to have a big body type with great skills. But all in all the receivers are one of the few assets on this team. Not great, but above average. Certainly not a liability like last year. .

That 2nd down drop when the game was 27-24 was a killer. Tough chance no doubt, but one that should be made.Quote:
