Game 11 : Steelers @ Chiefs : 11.27.11 : Game Thread!

Hopefully the O gets it worked out. From watching the game the offense was moving the ball, there was just too many dropped balls. And way too many holding penalties. It was like every time they moved the ball a chunk, a holding penalty was called. Though from what I saw, those holding penalties were ticky tacky.

A plus is that the secondary is coming around.

End Game 13-9

Ugly win.

Yup....

[Kipper]

UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY. And did I forget to mention UGLY. But I will take that win. This offense has got to get the kinks worked out. Or Cinci next week is gonna be even worse. But I can sleep peacefully tonight lol

The Bengals stink. We'll play better against a divisional opponent. We should've killed the Bengals in our first meeting. The score was closer than the beating we gave them. They aren't any better now than they were then and if anything I think that they are worse.

13-9 FT! These "ugly" wins are getting ridiculous. One of these games will end up biting us in the *** if we don't get serious about treating the stretch run with some urgency. Needs to start next week. Cincy is dangerous at this point!

the thing is...we aren't losing the ugly games. That is very important. We've lost them in the past. Baltimore has lost them this year. New England has. the Steelers aren't. They might be ugly but we're winning and beating the teams that we should be beating. Our 3 loses are against first place teams

True but the Steelers always have to make games close. Thats what I'm worried about.

Yeah and we should be used to this as Steelers fans. They are the kings of ugly games. We have won ugly super bowls. I don't care as long as we win.

I agree, but you know what? We are still winning regardless however ugly it may be... This isn't collegiate football where style points count.... A win is a win is a win... All that matters is a "W" in the correct column.

I agree that we need to get our "ducks in order".... Yes, one of these games could bite us in the *** if we're not careful, and Cincinnati is primed to do so next week... I guess we'll see soon enough.

Please go back and look at the history with us and the Bengals.... Deeper than the last couple of years.... Even when they only win a few games, they split with us, I think......

they do make them close and this Bengals game will be closer than it should be... but like i was saying in my reply to Hoppy... we're winning these close type games (not against Baltimore) but against everyone else. So I'm confident right now I guess.

Great... You pulled up the same stats that I would have..... recently (not deeper)

You and I know what the most recent history is.... You laugh at them as an opponent, but when you do that, they'll bite you in the ***....

I guess I'm not as solid confident.
