50-YARD LINE

Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit, spit, spit, if you ain't a Steelers fan you ain't......Your Pittsburgh Steelers look to keep their playoff hopes alive and get back in the win column today in Maryland against the Baltimorons. Keys to today's game. 1)Last gasp for Charlie? Charlie Batch is under center again and looking for redemption after last week's game against the Clowns. Charlie realizes his days are numbered, especially with Ben getting healthier by the day, and wants to go out on a winning note. BIG key to the game. NO turnovers. Charlie got another week of work in with the offense and needs to get the ball to his receivers. Meanwhile, the running backs can help by holding onto the ball. Keep it high and tight, guys! 2)The Baltimorons are riding a 4 game winning streak and 16 straight wins at home. The last time the Baltimorons lost at home was on 12/5/10 to the Steelers. It would be great to have a flashback to that game today. The Steelers need to help out rookie Kelvin Beachum at right tackle by keeping DE Paul Kruger out of Charlie's face. We don't want Paul Kruger to turn into Freddy Kruger for the offense. Keep Charlie clean! 3)The Steelers need to turn things around in the turnover battle. The D has looked stellar, of late, but need to make some plays. Keep that ball away from the Baltimorons. Hit 'em early, hit 'em often, hit 'em HARD! And don't forget to score early, score often, score BIG! Here we go Steelers, here we go!!!!!!
