They just haven't looked that good this season. Something is off. It might be wise to work on that kickoff coverage.
11/17/2009	6	6
The champs have a wild-card look about them after being swept by the Bengals. That's OK. They won a Super Bowl a few years back taking that route.
11/10/2009	6	7
Don't look now, but here come the champs. They have a huge rematch with the Bengals this week in Pittsburgh. They had better win, or risk going the wild-card route.
11/03/2009	7	7
They can show they are back with a road victory at Denver. The bye week gives them a little edge heading into that one, although Denver will be angry coming off its first loss.
10/27/2009	7	9
The defense played its best game against Minnesota, which is a good sign heading to the bye. They get Denver coming out of it, which will be tough.
10/20/2009	9	11
The best thing to come out of the Cleveland game is that the defense played a lot better. It will be a unit that gets a tough test against Adrian Peterson and Brett Favre on Sunday.
10/13/2009	11	13
The pass rush finally showed up Sunday against the Lions, but that defense still isn't all the way back. The return of Troy Polamalu is badly needed.
10/06/2009	13	13
They played well against San Diego, but there are still some issues that need to be worked out, mostly pressure from their outside rushers. Where is it?
09/29/2009	13	9
Their defense is letting them down late in games. They miss Troy Polamalu in a big way, especially in the fourth quarter. The good thing is the running game showed some life in Cincinnati.
09/22/2009	9	2
At some point, they need to get the running game going. Ben Roethlisberger is taking too many big hits. It's a huge game this week at Cincinnati. Do the champs fall to 1-2?

Dixon

I personally am very excited to see what Dixon can do if Big Ben is unable to go. He can throw and is fast, which could provide for lots of excitement and issues for the Ravens D. I would expe ...(more)

Troy Polamalu is the Steeler MVP

He is more than just the heart and soul of the Defense but he is this teams MVP hands down. Just look at the Evidence in games where he has played or at least played close to half of the game ...(more)
