Hi Rebecca. Mainly I am commenting to let you know the Read More button is back for me. As for the article I am probably the only person who thought Andrew Luck was an average QB coming into the league and through his first few seasons. Though I think more are starting to catch on to how average he is now that his play has fallen off. I have another name for Andrew’s last name and it rhymes with Luck and starts with an S.

Go Steelers!

I was originally hoping Luck would play so I could see him in person. Now I wish he was playing because Hasselbeck is better. Never thought I would say that…..

Agree. I was listening to Tunch Ilkin talk about the offensive line yesterday, and he thinks they are just bad, including Castonzo who they paid the big bucks for in free agency IIRC. I found myself thinking about this today in re the secondary – would we rather the Steelers had spent big money and high draft picks on the secondary or the offensive (and defensive) lines? I would pony up for the offensive line every time. Look what’s happened to Luck without a good one… Having said this, the Colts’ line probably won’t give up a single sack or pressure on Sunday – that’s how these things seem to go. But if they don’t it will be a very long day for the Steelers…

Since his first season, I have been hearing people talk about the physical beating Luck was taking. Apparently it was true and he has been paying the price this season. He needs to get healthy and then he needs the equivalents of Mike Munchak and Todd Haley on his side (assuming there is another pair like those two) to protect him and to show him how to protect himself.

The Steelers need to win this and at least 4 of their next 5 if they are going to the playoffs and we still have Cincy and Denver ahead of us. They can’t afford to stumble against the Colts.

Aside from TY Hilton, who is hurt (and killing my fantasy team), there aren’t many deep threats on the Colts and Hasselbeck isn’t going to launch it deep with regularity…so that may help mask some of the Steelers defensive issues.

Andrew Luck still remains more hype than substance and Hasselbeck is a definitely improvement this year. If the front 7 can’t get to Hasselbeck, there may well be trouble.

There’s not much to say. We’re at home, favored by 7. We need to win 4 out of 5. This is a must win game. I’m nervously confident. Our secondary scares the bejibbers out of me.
