Week 8: Pittsburgh Steelers (2-4) @ Oakland Raiders (2-4)

Wow...

Two chip shot misses, this one after a 16 play drive? Someone tell them the OSU vs Penn State game was yesterday.

[tripwire]

Strange things happen when Pitt travels there. Someone wearing a Suisham Halloween costume is kicking for the Steelers.

Only against the Raiders would our to that point perfect kicker miss a 34 yard field goal. Only against the Raiders does a punt get blocked deep in our side of the field. Only against the Raiders would that illegal touch where Blake's finger barely grazes the ball before the Steelers recover the ball happen. Such bizarre things happen in Steelers/Raiders games recently. Pryor, other than the first INT, has looked really impressive. He's moved around really well in the pocket, made some really nice throws and had some nice runs. McFadden has looked good. The Raiders defensive front is absolutely dominating the Steelers offensive line. Ben is getting hands in his face seemingly on every throw and the Steelers offense has absolutely no rhythm. Need to work in the run somehow. The Steelers will probably make a push and make this close but it'll be too late and the Raiders will seal it near the end.

They came out flat as flat could be. From getting totally fooled on a routine wild cat play, to having a punt blocked. Even with the six points added from Sushi, they're still two scores down. It's a let down of a game after a huge win vs the Ravens last week, and having to head to NE next week.

As if it couldnt get any worse


@BobLabriola: David DeCastro has an injury to his right ankle for @Steelers. His return is questionable.

Suisham impostor will be the difference. That timeout Ben took with under 2 mins was inexcusable.

A win's a win I guess. Other than the long TD run Pryor and the offense didn't look good at all. Defense strong once again though.
