Steelers win big
September 19th 2011 16:07
A week after Baltimore knocked the Steelers down about 31 pegs on the board, decimated their offense and defense, and took Pittsburgh behind the woodshed like few teams have been able to do in recent years, you knew that yesterday's opponent was going to run into a very angry team. And they did. The Seahawks mounted a terrific goal line stand to stop Pittsburgh's initial offensive drive on the 1. The game went downhill from there. They couldn't run nor could they stop the run well. They couldn't pass nor could they defend it well. They gave up special teams plays. They were as beaten soundly as the Steelers were beaten in the previous week.
But, and everything I've read is saying the same thing, "but it was only the Seahawks." And even Steeler players seemed to be saying the same thing. Here in Pittsburgh we're used to the "taking care of business" line because it's what everyone throws out all the time. Sometimes it's said to downplay the significance of a win. Other times, like yesterday, it's simply...true. There was no glory in earning the season's first win. Seattle was an insect in the Steelers way, and got swatted aside just as easily.
Tougher games and situations await. We will see...
