Who the hell is Bell? Steelers 37 Packers 36

Who the hell is Bell? Steelers 37 Packers 36

Uh Oh! A QB finally finds the Packers weakest link..

Here are some quick thoughts on yesterday’s Steelers / Packers game.

  1. Late hits / hits to the head on Rodgers…where are the flags?
  2. Too many drops by the WR’s in the first half (Driver, Jones, Lee)
  3. Leaving worst player on Defense in single coverage on final play of the game is inexcusable (Bell)
  4. This could’ve easily been a blowout, Steelers up 21-14 driving for TD in third quarter…Packer’s hold them to FG. Packers were facing desparate, super bowl champion on 10 days rest.
  5. Steelers had a definite game plan on offense that other teams have yet to do since the Al Harris injury….Pick on Packer’s worst defenders in pass. 3rd and 4th corners (Bush/Bell), simple crossing routes to TE with AJ Hawk covering.
  6. 2nd to last play with 13 seconds left, Cullen Jenkins could have had game ending sack but somehow he sort of just bounced off of Roth.
  7. Holding penatly on Packers with 35 seconds left stopped clock and nullified sack.
  8. Maybe instead of scoring a TD James Jones should have stepped out of bounds at the 1? This would have given Green Bay the ball at the Steelers 1 yard line, down by 2 with 2 minutes left.
  9. Worst instant replay reviews of the season: Matthews sack/strip and long pass to Holmes in 3rd quarter. The first play would have given Green Bay the ball on the Steelers 20 with the game tied 7-7.
  10. Crosby is done mentally. All his kicks go wide right. Instead of missing a 32 yard field goal, what if the Packers go for it on 4th and 2?
  11. Tonight’s Giants at Redskins game is huge for Green Bay. Giants loss plus Green Bay win over Seattle next week clinch’s playoff spot.

Week 15 Winners

  • Ben Rothlisburger (spelling) – Best game by a QB this year
  • Rodgers – Again, played great with no mistakes
  • Clay Matthews – Other than C Jenkins was one of the only defenders making plays
  • Steve Smith – He owns the Vikings

Week 15 Losers

  • Mason Crosby – What happened to you? I don’t get it.
  • Jarret Bush, Josh Bell – Finally the Packers depth at cornerback was exposed
  • Favre / Chilli – They fell flat and now they have to face an angry Bears team at Soldier Field on Monday night.
