highlighted from their article is what I consider significant losses

...and add Antonio and DeAngelo in the most inopportune time.

So sure Bryant is a season scratch due to suspension, but I believe as do many others that the Steelers have the talent to reach the big dance and win it. But IMO we need a healthy Ben/Brown/ and Bell to bring that talent/performance edge come years end. Every year teams have to overcome injuries, and the Steelers no doubt will still have their share. But to make it to the big dance, I think the big three has to remain fairly healthy all year, especially the latter part of the season into the playoffs. I think that has been the Steelers biggest downfall, not just injuries but injuries when it matters the most.

Was Baltimore #1? I know Green Bay had a ton of injuries as well.

Article said rats and Giants had more, wouldn't shock me if the rats were number one.

Harbaugh is a stupid coach who cant hire decent trainers to keep his guys from getting hurt?

As much as the media gave the injury of cheatriot players, I would have thought they were 1 through 27 on the list. I knew we had a lot of QUALITY players go down and yet somewhere along the lines, they stayed coached up !!!!!




Salute the nation

Yeah I was debating that, I was on the fence.

Kicking game after Suish went down was rocky then solidified. And I wasn't sure if Grad at this stage in his career was really a upgrade over anything the Steelers had at the backup position...

Grad is a smarter player than both Vick and Landry, IMO.
