1)The Good-Did the Steelers win or did the Jagoffs lose? It still goes in the win column. Good thing for the Steelers that Jags' rookie QB Blake Bortles telegraphed his throw right into the arms of CB Brice McCain. With the Steelers clinging to a 10-9 lead, McCain took it to the house. Right place, right time for McCain. That's a good thing.
2)The Bad-The Jagoffs are now 0-5 and the Steelers faced a team with a rookie QB and 2 rookie WRs. Why did they escape with just a 17-9 win? Do the Steelers truly play down to their level of competition or are they just plain bad?
3)The Ugly-I hate to beat a dead horse so we'll lay off the 7 penalties for 50 yards and, instead, concentrate on one of the often penalized, S Troy Polamalu. For the second week in a row, Troy tried to time his jump with the opponent's snap and ended up taking a penalty. This week it came on a play where Jacksonville needed to spike the ball to stop the clock late in the first half. I worry that Troy is losing it. He never used to make miscues such as these and now he's done it 2 games in a row. He's a veteran on this team and needs to lead by example. Committing hare-brained penalties such as these is not the way to do it. Please Troy, don't make me reprimand you again.
The Steelers gained a little bit of ground in the standings as the Bungles lost but are still in first place at 3-1. The Steelers are tied with the Baltimorons at 3-2. Watch out for the Clowns, they won a close one and stand 2-2 as we go to the Mistake by the Lake next week.
Big division game coming up. The Steelers can't afford to let the Clowns slip from their grasp like they almost did in week 1. Enjoy the win and get back to work. Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
