Bill, I'll be interested to read your take on Bell's game. But, from my perspective, he had another solid game. The one sack he may have missed an assignment? He took the outside rusher and Harrison(?) stunted inside to get the sack. Again, not sure that's a miss on Bell, but other than that one play he seemed pretty solid. At this point in the season, I'd say the line is steadily improving. I think they still need to work on their communication. But, all in all, they're looking like an improving unit each week.

Maybe I missed the proper thread for this... but congrats on the promotion to Moderator! Just remember with great power comes great perks and people kissin your to keep from being banned for life.

It'll be interesting to see how the team responds to this tough loss next week. Both Fitz and Stevie sounded as depressed and upset, respectively, as I've ever seen in a post game press conference. Maybe I'm just so used to the "we'll look at the tape" answers, but this loss seems to have really hit the players hard. It's nice to think the losses hurt the players as much as it does us fans. I just hope they can use all these close losses to finally turn the corner and win more of these kinds of games. Because it sucks to always be so close... yet so far away.

Easily the most uninspired half of football since week 2. I don't mind being down by 13 so much as I just hate the seemingly slackass play. There's no hustle, no hitting, no emotion, no nothing out there. Just some guys jogging around. You'd like to think that a young team would want to at least attempt to give the Steelers a knock in the jaw. But, we got nothing.

I wouldn't pay a dime for it.

Why are all the defensive backs just standing around when the WR catches the ball? Do they not even try to break the pass up anymore?

This is when Fitz's accuracy kills us. Today's he's got to be perfect because they're getting so few chances with the ball. Thos couple of poorly thrown balls are the difference between keeping the offense on the field and, now Moorman punting.

Little Stevie with 2 drops. He needs to catch those. We absolutely need some offense on this drive.

Kyle Williams for Pro Bowl.

Lost and with lead in their pockets. How can men move so slow and still be considered "playing"?

I figured we'd get beat.. but damn this is bad. Ftiz and company need to go over to the fieldhouse to stay loose. It's looking like they won't see the field again till the 3rd quarter.

3 and out again. At least we finally broke the 2 minute TOP barrier.

I guess 10-0 is better than 14-0

Wow. Now that's a bad stat!

Nice play by Kyle! But what's the time of possession for the 1st quarter - it seems like 14mins for Pitt and a minute or less for the Bills.

how can they let them convert 3rd and 10 on a near sack and dump off. horrible.

I really dislike the empty backfield, all pass offense. Now the defense is right back out there.

Time for Fitz's beard to even the score!

Absolutely no ability to stop someone running the ball. None.

If we had a defense, we'd have a decent team.

what am I missing?

Was there ever a doubt? Being his second offense, I'm a little surprised it's not more.

Actually, WTC 4, 5, and 6 were all damaged quite severely. #5 mostly on the south facing side away from #7. #6 had a hole in the middle of the building and severe damage extending to the north towards #7. #7 was completely collapsed. It's completely plausible that parts of WTC #1 fell on #6 and into #7 causing the collapse. I'm not a structural engineer nor am I an expert in falling buildingolgy; but many of the buildings around the site were structurally unstable and on the verge of collapse (1Liberty Plaza, for example). On the surface, they appeared to receive minimal damage; yet it took several weeks to confirm they wouldn't fall as well. Perhaps #7 was built poorly. Perhaps debris fell more directly on it than it would appear. Perhaps NYC OEM blew it up because they really wanted a new office. Perhaps there's no real mystery at all. But, I guess it's fun to postulate.

Nice! Thanks. I love this guy more with each interview. Asked about the Why So Serious and possible fine: I didn't know I could get fined for it. But, if I do I guess I'll be alright with it. Of course, I'd be happy to not get fined too. ... I'm just a kid out here playing a game I love, trying to bring some energy to the city. Asked to comment on Fitz: Ryan Fitzpatrick is a nerd. Since when have you even known of a nerd to be a failure. He's a gamer, man. Takes more flack for his wife beater and tells Irvin: "Hey Mike, Why so serious?" Dude's got a great attitude.

Isn't that exactly what was said just prior to the Ravens game? I seem to recall him having a pretty decent game against one of the premier defenses in the league that day. I guess we forget all about that now? So, what will be the excuse if Fitz plays another solid game against the Steelers, but we lose because the defense lets them score 30+ points? You're pinning your assessment of Fitz on 1 game; however, most others advocating for Fitz are looking at the sum of all his games this season. Every QB and team has bad games. One bad game does not make the season. So, regardless of how Fitz looks against the Steelers, how can you so easily discount his performance against the Ravens? The reality is... Fitz is putting together one of the best seasons we've seen from a QB in the last decade. That's hard to dismiss.
