Steelers Vs Bears GDT September 22 2013 Heinz Field

How the hell was this team in the super Bowl 2 years ago

They had good players, who all got old. It takes time to replace that many key guys at once, and it doesn't help when two young talented players are allowed to walk and replaced by William Gay and Plaxico Burress.

Man, what a terrible team.

Pretty much this. On top of that, questionable drafts, along with the refusal to build from the outside (something that worked for 30+ years, but hasn't recently), and I think Art the Second trying to protect his QB instead of letting him play also play a factor.

starting with that 2008 draft, by and large the draft picks have stunk. 2010 has a glimmer of hope w/ Pouncey, Sanders, and Brown, but even then, those guys have been hurt and or underwhelming or both. No one is left on the team from 2008. Ziggy Hood is the only guy left from 2009.

It's like a pitt recruiting class, minus the coaching turmoil excuse.

what about limas sweed?

[ulf]

I think if the steelers win the turnover battle each game they're 3-0. However they can't hold onto the sang ball, so they are 0-3. Can't keep coughing it up in the red zone when the offense is mediocre to begin with.

[the wicked child]

what about limas sweed?

What is an incredibly poor jersey decision by LITT?

[Letang Is The Truth]

never.

this gentleman decided to search limas sweed on lgp.com and came across this nugget of gold from tha ulfster in the 2008 draft thread:

Limas Sweed...please.
I first wanted a OL...but after some thought, after the first few, there will be the same quality on the line in later rounds.
Limas Sweed would be great, and the Steelers will once again have the best WR corps in the league, just like the old days of Plax/Ward/Ranndle El.

[shmenguin]

ben can't handle pressure anymore. he's not on the flacco-kolb pansy scale, but he protects himself more than he ever did before last year's injury. he's not technically good enough to do this - especially behind this offensive line. i've always been an advocate of his, but if this is his approach from now on, it would be best to finish the season in good draft position and start over next year with a new QB. of course this is without me knowing anything about next year's QB crop.

dudes - we have landry jones.

Checked to see what I wrote about Sweed:

I think a Sweed/Hines/Holmes/Nate WR corps looks pretty good, especially with Heath Miller. It's possible that having a better WR will force teams to back off the blitz and help the OL.

They won a Super Bowl with that WR corps. I'm claiming victory on that prediction.

[Dickie Dunn]

There's not a single person in this world that didn't think Sweed was an amazing pick in the second round. Everyone under the sun loved the Mendenhall and Sweed picks.

[KennyTheKangaroo]

yes in all seriousness, there were a lot of mock drafts on this here board that had sweed going in the first round

I would play that gif on repeat in the locker room til the end of time.

[Letang Is The Truth]

[bhaw]

I asked last night but got no answer... who the hell is Golden?

[shafnutz05]

Undrafted safety

[Grunthy]

All I know is that if that was Ryan Clark, both Cutler and Clark would have been knocked out of the game. Just like what happened with the McGahee hit.
