A Crosby does something amazing, what else is new?

Okay, so we lost. Guess what? We still have more wins this preseason than we did all last preseason. Additionally, it's preseason.

What's to learn from the game?

1. Change-ups on the O-line are bad.

1a. We need A-Fan. Which means we need to sign him. We probably won't, but we should.

2. Aaron Rodgers is still as good as he was in college. Why he hasn't played yet, no one knows.

3. Mason Crosby is solid. He'd be a good pick for a fantasy kicker.

4. Nate Washington, John Kuhn, and Kevan Barlow may be in danger of not making the team.

And here's the recap:

Starting D totally shut down Green Bay's offense. No first downs in the first quarter and a half. Solid performance again. Lamarr Woodley will be starting by Week 7.

O-line breakdowns hindered the first string's performance. Homestead Charlie came in and hit Walter Young for the Steelers only touchdown of the game.


Extra point....what? How did that happen? Coach Tomlin = pissed.

Second Quarter sees a Jeff Reed field goal and a Dave Rayner field goal. 9-3 at the half.

Second half is all Green Bay. BSP plays for basically three quarters and does next to nothing. 10-23 for 99 yards.

Aaron Rodgers owns the Steelers 3rd string D. 10-9. Uh-oh.

D comes up with a stop, but Mason Crosby comes in for the long kick.


Mason may actually be Sid the Kid.

That was pretty much it. Nothing exciting happened in the 4th quarter.

It was good to see Russell and Davis getting some work. The use of Davis at fullback may spell the end for John Kuhn.

Coach Tomlin says: We'll get them next week.

By the way, Cleveland returned a 4th quarter kickoff for their only touchdown of the game to beat the Chiefs.
