Here&rsquos my Mary Poppins take on the Steelers&rsquo
By Admin
Here’s my assesses take on mary poppins musical conclude the Steelers’ 18-12 defeat against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon:1 Let’s get real here. The Steelers season is over and done with for all intents and purposes So long Buh-bye. Nice knowin' ya.At 6-3, the Steelers trail the Bengals by two games in the AFC North race because they lose the head-to-head tiebreaker. Have you seen the cupcakes on the Bengals schedule? If they don’t finish with a 12-4 record—minimum—then I’ll kiss Chad Ochocinco on the cheek.OK, I won’t kiss Chad Ochocinco on the cheek.The Steelers almost can’t help but win 10 or 11 games, which should be enough for a wild-card invitation, but that won’t cut it this time.
This team isn’t good enough to beat the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots on the road, and that’s probably what it will take to be Super again . What I’m sayin’ is, go ahead and book that Caribbean cruise in mid-January.2 mary poppins disney . What has to peeve off Steelers World as much as the final score was the way its heroes went about their most important game of the year thus far broadway mary poppins . The home team was blah from the get-go, and it makes zero sense given what was at stake here.Where was the fire? The attitude? The intensity?Ryan Clark, Santonio Holmes, Brett Keisel and a couple or three others brought it, as they say Everyone else wimped out pretty much.3 mary poppins song . The key matchup paired Bengals d-coordinator Mike Zimmer against Steelers o-coordinator Bruce Arians, and I don’t have to tell you how that turned out, do I?Zimmer and his bunch had two priorities: First, keep quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the pocket, and second, keep Big Ben in the pocket. Rather than make adjustments, Arians turned and said, “OK, hit me here now!”4.
This season the no-huddle offense has been the Steelers most productive scheme by far, and it was obvious that they needed to change the tempo as early as the second quarter.So where was it, may I ask?The Steelers took a slingshot into the biggest game of the season, not a hammer and drill Mary Poppins .5 . In fairness, Arians is handcuffed by an ordinary o-line that limits the game plan mary poppin . But unless he screamed to personnel chief Kevin Colbert before the draft, “Get me a kick-butt o-lineman, dammit!” I don’t feel sorry for him one bit.6 mary poppins play . What is it that third-round draft pick Kraig Urbik does for a living, anyway?7 mary poppins show . Does anyone do less to get more publicity than Ochocinco these days? Other than Terrell Owens, I mean? Ochostinko finished with two pass receptions—two fewer than his number of illegitimate kids—and I barely recall him being on the field.8. Is it as obvious to you as it is to me that placekicker Jeff Reed is intent to avoid contact because of his free-agent status? His feeble attempt to tackle some rookie named Bernard Scott wasn’t as pathetic as his whiff on Minnesota Vikings rookie Percy Harvin a few weeks ago, but it was darn close.Then there’s safety Troy Polamalu, who refuses to avoid contact at all costs.I hope that I’m wrong here, but I don’t expect Polamalu to play more than another one or two seasons His kamikaze style won’t allow it Plus, the guy has too much mileage on him already.9. Head coach Mike Tomlin wants possible solutions for the pathetic kickoff team, and here’s mine: Kick the ball out of bounds every time.
Better to give the ball to an opponent at its 40-yard line than your 2 1/2-yard line for the extra point, ya think?10 .

The feeling of impending doom hit me pretty early in the Cowboy 17-7 loss at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.Right when Nick Folk missed that 38-yard field goal on the Cowboys' first drive was when I felt the lug nuts start loosening on the wheels.Only when Felix failed to recover that fumble in the fourth quarter did the wheels officially come off.They were clearly beaten, bruised and battered by a Packers team that had its season on the brink.Funny thing was, five minutes after the game, I was over it.The Cowboys got beat by a team that had a better defensive scheme, playing on their field, against a team with their back against the wall.This wasn't the 44-6, heartless, playoffs-on-the-line, rotten egg, the Cowboys laid last year against the Eagles. No, the team, specifically the defense, gave a great effort in shutting down the Packs' aerial attack for most of the afternoon.Like most losses, you can lay blame on a lot of things. The team got some poor performances from a few players. They lost the turnover battle and faced some inexplicably bad refereeing. Sprinkled in a few injuries and the Cowboys' penchant for stupid penalties and you have your classic recipe for a loss.The team didn't fold up though; they simply got beat by the better team, today . I can live with that.Let me point something out to you. No Cowboy team which has won a Super Bowl has ever gone undefeated. Even more clearly, the teams that did win the Super Bowl all had multiple losses during the regular season.1971 - SB VI - (11-3) regular season record 1977 - SB XII - (12-2) 1992 - SB XVII - (13-3) 1993 - SB XVIII - (12-4) 1996 - SB XXX - (12-4)So what is my point? The point is, even these past Super Bowl winners faced defeat on more than one occasion on their way to adding a Lombardi to the trophy case. They all lost games they undoubtedly thought they should have won. They all felt doom, gloom and despair after dropping a game. Every loss is ugly; there is no way to get around it. But, perspective is in order.
