All we needed to bring tonight was the sand wedge. Four chip-shot field goals by Jeff Reed and Connor Hughes later, Coach Tomlin is 2-1.
We started off the game by losing the coin toss. Way to go team captains.
Reed boots an awesome kickoff deep into the end zone. Reed's kickoffs have been sick this year.
Skins Offense comes out looking strong. They hit the tight end of a big play. I remember us having this problem against the Falcons last year...But LaMarr Woodley (Steelers 2007 Rookie of the Year, I'm calling it now) comes up with a huge sack. Great play by LaMarr. For anyone out there with a Porter jersey, don't get rid of it! Slap some duct tape over the name, get a black Sharpie and write WOODLEY on it. You'll be able to keep it for a long time.
Solid play to Hines on first down. Parker goes nowhere. Good look to Heath but it's just short.
Sepulveda kicks the snot out of the ball.
Two humans trying to reenact Sepulveda's Superhuman kick.
Redskins starting Offense comes back out and makes our secondary look like the Maginot Line. 7-0.

-actual transcribed quote from the French Army
Run-Run-Pass and the First Quarter is over.
Sepulveda with another good punt.
Deshea comes up with a huge sack on third down to force a punt.
1st string Offense goes 3-and-out again (not what we want to see out of them) and Sepulveda reverses the field with another great kick.
Haggans and Clark stop this drive with a 3rd down sack, forcing a punt. The Skins only picked up 1 first down on this drive.
Steelers get the ball back with 5:40 left. Ben hits Santonio with two big passes, one on a 3rd and 17 for 30 yards. Reed adds a chip shot as the first half expires. 3-7
Batch comes in, Steelers go run-run-pass and punt.
Steelers get hosed on a 3rd down penalty and the Skins drive stays alive. Eventually, they convert a 48-yard field goal. 10-3.
Homestead Charlie leads the Steelers on a long drive lasting into the 4th quarter hitting Nasty Nate and Carey Davis for a few big plays. Tomlin calls for the wedge again and Reed knocks it through. 10-6.
Colclough comes up with a fumble recovery to get us the ball back.
BSP takes over and leads the team down to the 4 yard line but no money. Connor Hughes chips in to make it 10-9.
William Gay drops a sure INT from the Ageless Wonder but forces a punt.
Gary Russell (who Pomp mistakenly called "Gary Roberts" on the pregame show) owns the next drive but can't cash it in on 3 chances from inside the 3. Ouch. Another chip shot from Hughes makes it 12-10. This might have been the most boring comeback ever.
The Skins get the ball back with a minute and a half left. The Ageless Wonder seems poised to prove he can still play. A 4th and 14 conversion for 26 yards leaves many thinking he can. With the Skins in field goal range, the Zebras bail us out by doling out 15 yards in penalties to the Skins.
The Ageless Wonder is forced to throw and William Gay comes through this time. This kid is going to make the team. Great way to end the game.

In other news around the division, Brady Quinn threw 2 4th quarter TD passes in the Browns 23-20 loss to the Lions. It was also a big night for New Orleans running backs as Deuce McAllister, Reggie Bush and Antonio Pittman all had rushing touchdowns against the Bungles as the Saints rolled 27-19. Cincy added a touchdown in the closing seconds to make this game appear closer than it actually was.
There's still 1 more game to go before any cuts are made, so next week's game should be exciting.
A preemptive strike:
Pretty solid site.
