Ain’t that the truth! I’ve been losing my grip for sometime now, or at least so my children tell me : )

Yep! I think a lot of us can relate to that

It may have been age. A lot of us lose our grip as we get older as well.

Yeah, that was a killer, although it seems fair to assume it was a pump fake gone bad. It was pretty foggy in Seattle and maybe the additional humidity made him lose his grip…

That shot put by Ben was was a real bummer and a game changer. Steelers were up 21-14 at the time with about 3 minutes left in the 3rd. They were moving the ball nicely and approaching mid field. If we score there we go up by 2 scores and have the momentum going into the 4th Q. The next play Graham pulls one out of his butt at the one yard line and they score a TD………ugh!

Well, it did. And Baldwin, to be fair, isn’t some scrub. He’s Football Outsiders’ No. 6 wideout. I’m definitely with you, though, in that I hope not to see such a thing again this season.

Baldwin for 80. I just… can’t happen.

Excellent point about the front seven. I think it is the usual thing – a QB who can get the ball out really quickly means it’s hard to get enough pressure. I’m guessing in the case of Seattle, though, the problem was that they had to be so careful to keep contain on Wilson that it stymied their usual style of pass rush, because they had to be so careful not to get upfield of Wilson or leave a big gap. It’s not likely to be a problem with Hasselbeck…

The Steelers secondary doesn’t seem to be a problem when the front seven have a great game. Were the secondary that bad or was the front seven less than stellar (I really think they need to be stellar to carry the secondary at this point). I didn’t look for it at the time and I have since deleted the game from my pvr but I wonder what Seattle did to reduce the success of our front seven.

Before I forget, you may have used it before but I loved the use of harmaria (aka hamaria if I am not mistaken). It is good to learn unexpected things as we learn those things we expect to learn.
