Week 10, Manning & the Colts come to the Steel city

After the 1^st half of the season, other than injuries – the men of Steel can’t complain.

6 – 2 & in 1^st place, not a bad place/position to be in.

Last week, the Steelers thoroughly crushed the Washington Redskins in the Monday night game by a score of 23-6. Unfortunately QB Big Ben Roethlisberger re-injured his shoulder & had to sit the 2^nd half, fortunately backup Byron Leftwich came thru & produced great 2^nd half play that sealed the Skins chances of winning.

Week 10, the Indianapolis Colts travel to the steel city to face the Steelers. For Indy they have to win to keep the Titans in reach for their slim chances of winning their division. This year’s Indianapolis Colts are not the Colts we used to know, they are no longer as explosive as they used to be – sure they got plenty of stars (but in name only). QB Peyton Manning is having his worst year since he was a rook, star wide out Marvin Harrison has slowed down 2-3 steps & isn’t as imposing as in the past, Joseph Addai & Dallas Clark have missed some games due to injury & have not been stellar. Their lone star that has been producing like in the past is wide receiver Reggie Wayne.

Steeler stars Big Ben & Willie Parker might not play – but I think, their replacements that’ve shown to play well in the past as their understudy’s shouldn’t disappoint. They are Byron Leftwich & Mewelde Moore. I’m inclined to think even with out their 2 best players out due to injuries, the Steelers can still beat this older & not as offensive juggernaut of Colts. Steelers win & move to take a strangle hold on their Division with a 7-2 record.

Almost the entire Indy Colts offensive side of the ball has had a disappointing season, except (above) Wide out Reggie Wayne who is playing great & might make yet another Pro Bowl team this year.
