I was watching the game with Son #1 and a friend of his who is a long-time Steeler fan. And by long time I mean about 70 years or so. She commented that the Steelers seem to need a game like the Philly game every now and again to give them a good kick in the backside, and that, all things considered, she was glad it had come early in the season.

I take your point about Sunday’s game. The number of injuries is scary, but they sure won’t be taking anything for granted…

Some teams play well when arrogant. The Seahawks immediately come to mind. But for some reason the Steelers aren’t one of those teams. They seem to need the occasional drubbing/humbling/retooling to bring out their best. Maybe by Steelers, I mean Ben in that sentence. He is sometimes phenomenal, shocks into silence everyone who ever criticized him. And then…What explains that? Is anyone else of his talent as erratic?

I wasn’t at all surprised by the KC game, although it was much better than I’d hoped. (I was also under the impression that their coach was a giant jug of cherry kool-aid. Hmm.) I might be gloomier about the jets (disfunctional team, Steelers riding high), except for all those awful injuries and the fact that Rex isn’t there to work his special magic. And aren’t they wearing the bumblebees? That usually seals the deal.

Finally, yes to all those guys in there getting better or making debuts! How wonderful was that? But I’m really truly bummed out about Shazier. I want him to be great, not hurt.

I wonder if he was nursing the shoulder a little.
