    I know that Suisham has kicked well on field goal attempts this preseason, but have you noticed we have had no touchbacks this game on EVERY kickoff we have had? This really bothers me.... In the preseason, he had touchbacks, then he wins the job and not one kick has been a touchback since.... I am just sayin'

    After the Steelers went up 14 - 7 against the Bills. Suisham then pert near kicks it out of bounds but barely made the endzone where the returner had no chance. Result 20 yard line instead of the 40. That really bothered me as they could have still threw a hail mary but instead took a knee.

    THAT PLAY ALONE DESERVED ANOTHER CHANCE FOR HRAPMAN.

    I wish him the best of luck but Suisham still makes me jitter. I hope he does well, really really well in Heinz Field.

    Somehow I know that when the wind is blowing in November the ball will be spotted at the 40.

    Man, everyone knows that Hrapman should have won the job. His kickoffs are definently longer. Suisham is a big question mark all the time. We don't know what we are gooing to get from him. After what happened in the Carolina game with Suisham kickoffs, they should know they made a mistake by letting Hrapman go.

    Hopefully they will have a change of heart and call Hrapman back and cut Suisham. If it doesn't work out with Hrapman, then call Suisham back because he will always be available cause no other team will want him!

    I'm I the only one that saw Suisham kick a 56 yarder last night that put 3 points on the board? Worry more about making field goals, than touchbacks. I know field postion is important but points are more important.

    You must have been the only one who saw it because he only kicked one field goal, and it was a 49 yarder in the open end of the stadium!

    Sorry 49 yard Field Goal. But in the open end that is still impressive. But I still think everyone is making too big a deal about the kicker. Let's wait till he blows it on the final kick of the game and misses. Then we can jump all over him.

    Won't happen, because Tomlin doesn't trust him on the long ones to win a game. If it's more than a chip shot at the end, he'll go with the Hail Mary over the long field goal.
