Steelers safety Troy Polamalu has two interceptions this season.



It is difficult to tell which has been more painful for Patriots* wide receiver Wes Welker.

Are his receiving numbers down this year because his left knee, the one he blew out last season in Houston's Reliant Stadium, is still causing him periods of uncertainty when he tries to plant, cut and pile up his customary yards-after-catch?

Or is it that, with the departure of Randy Moss, there is less room to operate in the secondary because opposing teams no longer fear the deep ball?..........

Weird; they have an analysis in that article for how to win last week's game against Cincy.

The Steelers might not have to worry about preventing the deep throw to Moss anymore. But they will need to worry about Brady surgically picking apart a secondary that has allowed 60 of their NFL-low 123 points in the fourth quarter.


Wow. Half the points we've allowed all season have come in the 4th quarter. Now that needs to be fixed if we want to keep winning down the road!

Im mostly worried about the short under throws to Welker who will tear us apart and on the screens as well.

Yep...that means we have three quarters to score about 40 points to keep us ahead at the end of the 4th quarter..........
