Something left to play for
Did you feel slighted by our Steelers missing the playoffs (let’s avoid rubbing salt in the wound by pointing out that they would have mae it if they had manage to beat the lowly raiders, a game which they dominated statistically…erm…oops)? Do you think it just doesn’t feel right not getting to see them in a single post-season game one year after they won the Super Bowl?
Fret not, my friends. And forget not the four Pro Bowlers on the team. This group of underachievers certainly had its standouts, and we get to see them in action one last time before the curtain officially drops on the season.
On offense, Alan Faneca will start at guard and Willie Parker will be the third-string tailback. On the other side of the ball, perennial All-Pros Casey Hampton and Troy Polamalu (or, officially, Troy Polamalu) will take the field first at their respective positions.
It’s no Super Bowl, but at least it’s still Steelers.
