Tomlin Wont' Give the Cards' Defense their Due

[DKCards]

from the article : "Nine of the Steelers' 11 penalties came before or after the snap, and four of those were committed by offensive linemen. "

I wonder when the other two happened............

Let's not forget that if Boldin was playing, this game may have not been even close.

Our front seven manhandled their O-line. End of story.

in some more hard hitting analysis, Tomlin noted that the Cardinals only scored on three of their plays --- in all the other plays, the Steelers shut them out. "For like 60 plays, all they did was move the ball maybe 5 yards a play -- like who cares, ya know? -- but it was those three plays where we thought it was a tv timeout or something where they got the ball into the endzone. We eliminate just those three plays, we win easy as pie"

Tomlin was too busy reading his own 'undefeated press' to actually prepare for the Cards. He thought it was an easy win.

He had a team one year away from a Super Bowl victory; Whisenhunt had a team 10 years away from its last playoff game. Who's the better coach? Let's wait till after the season to decide.

Forgetting for a moment, the veracity of Tomlin's statements - to me, his comments, as reported here, reflected a lack of class.

Tomlin gave credit to the Cards in his postgame blahblahblah.

Wade Phillips is by far the leader for coach of the year. Cardinals would have to get 10 wins for Whiz to get it IMO.

Tomlin gave credit to the Cards in his postgame blahblahblah.

until the local Pittsburgh press starting ragging on him. And his linemen were scoffing at the idea that the lowly Cardinals beat them up.

Yet, right guard Kendall Simmons bristled at the suggestion that he and his teammates on the offensive line were simply beaten up front.


"I'm not ever going to say somebody was more physical than us, unless it was true," Simmons said, "and I don't feel that way."

Don't feel so bad, guys, a lot of teams are going to be shocked when that clock says zero. You just had the privilege of being among the first.

Let's not forget that if Boldin was playing, this game may have not been even close.

...and if Ward was playing for Pitt, and the Cards were without Boldin, you could say the same thing for them.

And they will, mr. 7-9.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I'm a 7-9er too. Can't wait to be wrong.

 

[Mulli]

I have always thought nothing would be finer than to be a 7-9er.

 

[D-Dogg]

I'm a 7-9er too. Can't wait to be wrong.

I was an 8-8 to 9-7er.

But I didn't think we'd see this team playing this solid of ball, this soon. They *can* win 10 games...their schedule is becoming easier by the day...

Oh man, that is nice and all, but a loss on sunday to the wahms makes the schedule much tougher.

:mullit:



I, for one, am assuming we are done with the SOC and that strange thing we are about to blow right through on Sunday is that elusive corner.

Don't do that yet. You will be sorry.

 

[D-Dogg]

Don't do that yet. You will be sorry.

I won't be...I can promise you.

All that is left is the waiting for us to win to prove it, but all the information and data is there.

We've NEVER played this well. Ever. EVER. In 98 when we went to the playoffs, we assed our way into it and never looked like we belonged there until we surprisingly beat the cowboys. In 2002 we started 4-2 but it was a complete mirage and we barely won ugly games (9-6 cowboys game in OT because they missed an EP?).

This team, despite having an almost rookie QB struggling on offense is bringing the funk to some of the best teams in the league.

So, while they have yet to pass the final test and beat the rams on the road like they should (and not get thumped like the SOC would) they have soared through all the pre-tests with flying colors.

We have been physically dominating each team we've played...I don't know if we've ever done that.

WHEN we beat the Rams on Sunday, the ten win talk will officially begin. When we THUMP the Panthers in front of a wild home crowd the following week, the ER will be swollen with people ODing on KoolAid.

not listening. not listening. lahlahlah.

Must..not...drink....

 

[abomb]

I'm not getting excited until @STL, vsCAR and @WAS are in the books, heading into the bye.

You almost got one of these Thought you were going to say 49er.

If we do win next Sunday, the 10 win talk will start. Who would have thought at the beginning of the year, that the Cards, Lions, and the Packers would have a shot at 10 wins?
