    thanks for the info on Big Bens foundation. didnt know about it. thats the kind of thing that the commentators should mention during games rather than tell us blue collar guys ( starving artist) how many millions they make. Its nice to see that some of them do have and support great causes..

    wish I, as a Pennsylvanian who lives just 8 hours away from hines field could have seen the great game yesterday on tv. but our stupid local channels only offered stupid patriots game and the falcons match up.

    this comment makes me wonder if you are really a Steeler fan or just a troll trying to stir the pot

    Man I can't believe they let you play with them. I always thought they were really militant with them and wouldn't let you pet them and stuff like that. I know when Seal Team 6 killed bin laden they took some hardcore dogs with them and when president Obama met with Seal Team 6 the dog was actually present and even HE wasn't allowed to pet it.

    Welcome to the board and out of curiosity are you a comic book fan and do you do your own stuff? Ever do any cons? Have a site where I can check your stuff out?

    Played with them like crazy...at the local park, at the training facility. It was pretty awesome. They were really playful, but could take a grown man down in a matter of seconds on command. They definitely weren't Seal dogs, though.

    Yeah Seal dogs are hardcore. There was a rumor that the Seal Team 6 dogs had metal coated teeth but who knows. Surely that's not true. I'll tell you this though. Vick wouldn't have treated THOSE dogs the way he treated the others.

    Hmm, not sure I was understood. I only want to see him in a mop up role because that means they have a big lead and Ben comes out because his job is done.

    BUMP!

    Soo, will Bell and D-Will run the ball down the Ravens' throat on Thursday, or will Haley be able to dial up some nice plays for Vick?

    I think we need to try both. For Vick, we're going to need to draw up a lot of plays designed to get him out on the edge. He's not what he was, but he can still be dangerous rolling out, especially with our weapons. Also, when Bryant gets back I expect them to have good chemistry on deep balls. Vick can still sling the ball deep with the best of them.

    Deangelo had ONE carry today. I doubt he gets 2 on Thursday night.

    Not sure about the Landry part but first part is unfortunately ALWAYS been the case no matter who we are lining up in the backfield. Cincy had 60-70 yds total rushing today but AJ Green lit them up for well over 200 yds. Deep stuff should work in tandem with short stuff over middle to Heath and screens to Bell........but then again, Ben can't do it from the sideline on crutches. :worried:

    He has a cannon but thats about as far as any comparison to the best of them goes.

    Well at least we have four fast WRs and 5 when Bryant comes back. We are definitely going to have to go vertical.

    I think you guys are in for a rude awakening with Vick. Just because you can throw it deep doesn't mean you can hit the mark. Theres a reason he has a dismal QBR since 2011.

    I'd rather have a game manager right now, Vick is a guy that likes to make plays, he'll force things, he'll want to run, it's not going to be pretty with him in there.

    The talent around him will help but our defense better continue to impress.

    The only reason this ******* is even in the NFL still is because he's Tomlin's boy. He'd be unemployed right not had it not been for Tomlin. He's garbage as a QB and garbage as a human.

    He can still throw the 9 route well. I remember that first preseason play when he slung it down to Bryant pretty well given that he had just joined the team and rejoined the league. By no means am I saying he's a good QB at this point. However, he can get the ball deep with the kind of depth and arc that deep threats like Bryant like. We need to do that frequently so that the underneath routes are open enough for his crappy short accuracy, because he's not fitting anything underneath into the windows that Ben can.
