Monday Football Recap

Steelers football:

•  First week of the "we will suspend you if we deem it an illegal hit", and despite James Harrison's whining about quitting, the Steelers defense came out to play, albeit a tad more timid.  The way I see things is that players now have to hit lower to make a tackle and this just puts legs, knees, and ankles at risk.  Which is better?  As one announcer pointed out, the legs are the players livelihood.  But once retirement comes I'd assume you would want your mind.  Yet these men know what they are getting into....
• Ben was certainly more rusty this week then last so I hope he spends the week getting his head back into the game before we meet with the Saints.
• And the offensive line was as rusty as the quarterback so I hope they get with Ben and together work things out.
• We won the game on a call.  Right or wrong call it wasn't the way I want to win a game.  Winners can't afford to get lazy.

Other:

• Buffalo played a great game of football Sunday until it came time to put it all away. A stripped ball and a boo hoo penalty didn't help my Steelers nor did it help the winless Bills.
• Favre admits to making phone calls to a Jets employee?  Still not seeing how this is the NFL's business.  Move on....But I do recommend checking out the SNL Wrangler Open Fly Jeans commercial. 
• Watched the instructional video sent to all players and teams regarding the new way to hit and to not hit.  Think the NFL has opened up a huge can of worms, and while I figured the big wigs would be very busy today reviewing games it seems the players responded and behaved.  Think this will be an item on the list when it comes time to vote on whether or not to strike next season?
• Go Josh Freeman! Another Buccaneer fourth quarter comeback and another game with no interceptions.  Might just be the rookie is becoming a veteran!
