******official Pittsburgh Steelers Thread******

Is Willie Parker going to ready for the season? He's my #1 RB in the FCP dynasty league.

I haven't really heard anything since late last week. He was out of 1 day practice and they said it was to rest him. He was out the next day and was seen with the trainer and a bag of ice on his knee.I'll keep you updated as I hear anything.

Friday's Steelers Notebook...Running back Willie Parker had his left knee heavily bandaged with ice as he walked off the practice field yesterday morning and said he would not play in Sunday's Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. Parker said he did not know when he would return to practice, but indicated the injury was nothing serious.

Today's Notebook...."It's just inflammation of the knee -- it usually takes 10-14 days," Tomlin said yesterday about Parker, who missed the first preseason game Sunday. "We're about 11 to 12 days into it now. So it's coming toward the end. We'll see where that is, but we'll continue to monitor that day to day."

34-7 Total domination. 206 rushing yards5 forced turnoversRoethlisberger 4TDThat's what you're supposed to do to bad teams. Home opener against Buffalo next week. Should be a defensive slug fest and the Bills need a win, but fuck 'em I can't the Steelers losing this game.

well i know the browns really really suck - the steelers are still sort of a question mark - me and friends would win when the other team gives you your first possession of the season on their own ten yard line

Tis true Mr. Crime. The offensive line struggled last year and Willie Parker fumbled way too much (he did again today). However we couldn't beat the bad teams last year, see Oakland. Layin it on the shitty Browns is definitely nothing to brag about, but it is a step in the right direction.

Another easy win.Parker ran for 126 and a 5.5 avg with no fumbles. Ben threw for 242 with a TD and a pick.The Bills offense looked terrible.I'm not sure how I feel about this team. A 2-0 start is never a bad thing, but they have yet to be tested and won't be till October.San Fran comes to town next week and I hope they get get annihilated. I despise the 49ers.

[GeneralGeeWhiz 0]

It's on bishes! Goooooo 49ers next week! Alex Smith and our dumb ass offensive cord better do better or it's gonna be ugly.

[Miguel McHarris 0]

Alex Smith is in for a long day.

I bet Steelers fans are completely happy that all the attention is being paid to NE and Indy while they just grind along getting wins.

We are looking good. We need to get a few more wins before we start playing real good teams though. Wiz circled Pittsburgh on the schedule the day they came out. He wants us baddddddddddd.

You know it. Under the radar and 3-0.

This is gonna a tough one. Road game out west and opposing coaching staff that knows your team well.

Arizonas D-Line played SICK good. Willie couldnt do sh.it and Ben made some bad throws. I dont undertand why Arias quit throwing the ball in the second half, Ben was beating them in the air.

[fryer98 30]

Good week for the bye for the beat up team.Bad for me. I missed the last 3 being out of the country and now 4 straight wks without the Steelers!

I thought you took your Steely McBeam plush doll to cuddle with while you were in France.

Not quite, it's life size so I would have had to get him his own ticket. I did get my Steelers hat stolen. I'm NOT happy about that. I thought my terrible towel was in there too, but I found it unpacking last night.

[dEv~ 19]

I think we're gonna look back at that 'Zona game and be happy they lost it. The steelers were able to coast against some pretty bad teams in the first 3 weeks and the Cardinals got their attention. Losing a non-conference game doesn't bother me all that much and they showed up to play Seattle as a new team.This bye week couldn't come at a better time as Hines, Troy, Casey, and Santonio could use the time to heal up before they face the Broncos, Bengals, and Ravens.
