Week 11: Oakland Raiders (5-4) at Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3)

• Thinthickbigred

  Huge game ...We got destoyed by New England and it sucked.... Glad Reed is gone I am sick of him missing big kicks for us ..He is salty for not getting a contract and when I read the paper today I was very pleased ...Now about Oakland we gave that game away last year .. Had that pick right in the breadbasket last year and was dropped .....Redemption is needed ..I dont think we can look any worse than what we did last Sunday ...

  Per Pittsburgh radio, Reed's agent said he had several phone calls and two offers, one of them from the Bungals. Reed declined both offers stating he wanted the "weekend off". Unbelievable!

  Thats hilarious. Hope no one signs him.

  Further evidence of what you're getting yourself into when signing this guy...you know, cause the rigors of being an NFL kicker are so strenuous.

  Indeed. Jeff be goin' clubbin' this weekend. TMZ and/or Deadspin needs to be informed to have cameras tracking his every move!
• Non

  

  sounds like Keisel will be out again
  
  he was limited in practice all week
  
  I thought getting him back would be big against the Raiders, who are a good running team, looks like it will again be Eason and Hood at the defensive end spots
• Art Modell

  

  Hood needs to step up. btw I have a feeling Reed will end up with the Jets.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  I just realised that the Raiders have John Henderson, perhaps the GOAT of all time even greater than Bob Wickman + Watson.

  I wish I was John Henderson. He is a true god among men.

  that is awesome.....reminds me of the Alvin Mack/The Program days.
• Non

  

  The Raiders defensive line has been playing outstanding. Seymour, Kelly, and company.
  
  I don't know. I could see the Steelers being a lot more focused and prepared this week but I still think they're going to have some matchup problems.
  
  Raiders have a better defensive line vs. Steelers offensive line and the Raiders should have a chance to run the ball with both Steelers defensive ends out.

  The Steelers really need to make a commitment to the run early in the game this week. Oakland's pass defense is damn good. Their run D....not so good. It goes without saying but if Mendenhall can have some success early in the game......the Steelers can set up the pass....play action.....TD Mike Wallace.

  Heading down again this week. So far 0-2 this year in attending games.
  
  Also, I wore my Hines throwback last week. First time I ever worse a Ward jersey to a game and he got a concussion and his streak of 186 games with a catch ended. So that was my fault.

  Stay home, Non!!!! LOL

  I'm sure you Steeler fans remember Brian St. Pierre. He's starting for Carolina this week.

  I laughed at this, mainly because it is true... (Sheetz goes no further than Zanesville)

  I know the crowd will be down after last week but hey I remember going to games watching Mark Malone and Bubby Brister. This ain't so bad, 6-3 in a tie for first in mid-November.

  I was trying to help the Steelers avoid a loss. You're jinxing them! LOL
• killer_ewok

  

  According to Ed Bouchette.....Darrius Heyward-Bey and Nnamdi Asomugha are both out for Oakland. Keisel out for the Steelers. Polamalu practiced later this week and felt fine.
• outdoorsman

  The refs are out to get the Steelers.

  Wow what a bitch call. You gotta be kidding me.
• killer_ewok
