No, the offense did look great, I meant the defense. Last year they were so damn fast on that side of the ball. Remember that game last year against the Pats? Monday night, I think... They flew to the ball, making plays, hitting hard and taking down receivers as soon as the ball got to their hands. I was super impressed. Their performance Saturday was a far cry from the way the team played last year. It's frustrating, even to me, because I'd rather watch that team go into Chicago and battle the Bears than see Seattle get their asses kicked.
As for Roethlisberger, maybe I should let it go but where there's smoke there's fire and being accused of these type of actions twice tells me there is at least some merit to the claims.
Once again, Ed Reed has a brother who looks to be dead. The team simply gave Reed's family a game ball. This has nothing to do with condoning any of Reed's brothers actions, instead it is meant to only support the family in this time of grief. You seem to take exception with this. Why? Your point about impressionable youth doesn't resonate with me whatsoever. It's the responsibility of parents to raise their children to know that sports figures can be admired for their athletic prowess and not for their private lives. Anyway, I don't see any point to further debate because you appear to be seeing this through black and gold colored glasses.... and I need to go take a crap.
