Pittsburgh loses to Oakland!

[dragon1952]

What a freakin' joke! Pittsburgh (my contest pick BTW) holds Oakland to 9 FD's, 98 total yds, 1-11 third down conversions, 2 yd avg gain per play, 6 offensive pts.....runs 21 more plays 70-49 and has the ball for 11 more mins 35:30 to 24:30 and loses 20-13! That's what turnovers will do to you. Rothlisburger had 4 INT's....2 picked off in the end zone, one which was returned for a TD plus another pick that was returned 24 yds for a TD. You read that and figure he had a little post-concussion syndrome but shit, he was 25 out of 37 for 271 freakin' yds! Maybe he just had it on 4 plays

Yeah that game was definitely a shock (to say the least) and the Raiders only had like 50 yards through the air, but I don't place all the blame on Big Ben......like you pointed out, his stats were good if you discount the turnovers, but he had quite a bit of pressure on him the entire game.

What blew me away were all the Pittsburgh fans at the Black Hole today........Wow, how times have changed.........You would have never seen that in years past......They would have clobbered them in the parking lot !!

Ive never been to Oakland but what you said earlier about the fair weather fans taht would make since. I went to the Dallas game two years ago against Pitt and it was packed with Steeler fans. I guess the black and gold are expanding.
