McAlister gets cut

Chis McAlister hardly played at all this year with an injured knee that put him on the IR list early in the season. But even with the injured knee there were rumors that he had recovered & there were other reasons (maybe Harbaugh related) that he wasn't on the field. McAlister has been a great asset to the team & the first of the defense roster casualties. The only person from the last season that had played cornerback as well as McAlister was either Samari Rolle or Jim Leonhard (although he was technically a safety). Corey Ivy & Fabian Washington were constantly being beat by WRs last season & their coverage was sub par at best. These guys need to step up their game if were going to keep our Defense reputation or else we need to look for someone in the draft.

Final Game Concludes a great season

Well, our seasons finally been put to an end. I'm still agonizing over this loss not only was it the end of our season but it was our 3rd loss to the Steelers which was the final nail on the coffin. I feel like this season was reminiscent of our 2000 season when we won the Superbowl. Our defense was playing like they were just drafted & our offense was giving the defense hope by doing better than anyone expected. This game was not the worst we've played but we needed to play 110% & we slipped up a couple times which no one can afford to do in a championship game. I feel the offense started to panic when Flacco threw a horrible pass which Polamalu picked off for a TD. This was the extra twist of the knife already in our hearts. Then with minutes remaining things got even worse when McGahee took a helmet to helmet hit & was knocked unconscious. Later that evening it was announced that he fully recovered & discharged from the hospital but it was a scare when he was not moving & on the gurney.
This season was great but I feel like it was one of our last chances to get another ring. Also, our story would have been so great with a rookie QB & rookie head coach going to the superbowl when no one expected them to accomplish anything. Now we are looking at a huge turnover of coaching & possibly players. Our defensive coordinator Rex Ryan announced his acceptance to be the Jets head coach (only 1hr after our loss WTF). Almost all our best defenders up as free agents: Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, Bart Scott, center Jason Brown, Jim Leonhard, Lorenzo Neal, & Matt Stover. Many of these players have said they would love to come back, but I'm positive several franchises would love to pay to aquire them as well. Most of these defenders are getting older & have several injuries so I'm sure retirement is also a possibility. The fact is next year we will be lucky to see what we have seen this year & I only hope we can keep our trademark defensive. For now I'm going to have to root for Warner & Fitzgerald to get the teams first Superbowl championship because the Steelers definitely deserve to loose.

ROBBED AGAIN!

Is this the NBA? Obviously it is because the ref's are being payed off. The only "TD" was visibly inconclusive & I feel like they gave it to the Steelers without hesitation. Also they gave them that 1st down when they moved the ball like 3 yards forward. Walt Coleman was the ref who overturned the call to be a TD, I think its time for him to retire. Great job giving the Steelers their first win at our stadium in 6 years you ASSHOLE! Mike Tomlin you aren't the best team in this division you just got a ref that gave the game to you. You made 1 drive the whole game & you got lucky. We'll see how you guys do against Tennessee next week you cocky SOB's.

Week 14 Deadskins still suck

An amazing win on primetime, last Sunday. Sorry to disappoint the lower part of the state, but your Deadskins are no match for the real MD team. Another defensive game 2 sacks, 2 INT, Fumble recovery, & a TD. I'm little pissed about our offense. Flaccos 1 INT, but more importantly can someone keep McGahee off the field! I feel like his injury has never fully been recovered & his performance compared to McClain & Rice is sub par. He dropped a perfect carry but then luckily, for him, he kicked it out of bounds before it was a turnover. He can never find a hole when he drives up the middle anymore. I think hes been done for this season before it started. He was a huge force last season but hasn't been living up to his worth this one. Also, on his player stats (when they say their name & college) he is the only cocky guy that says Willis McGahee "you already know". WTF no no no you are not that good to be saying that kind of stuck up shit. You aren't that good & you're not TO. Don't start carrying a sharpie in your sock you haven't scored a TD since week 10 against Houston. Besides this next Sunday is huge. We beat those bastards we'll be tied for first in our division, but more importantly we'll beat the steelers. We're ranked 6th overall, we're doing good, lets keep this up & get another W on the board.

Season 2008: Week 12 vs. Eagles

We're already into Week 12 & we face McNabb and Westbrook this week. I feel after last week's performance against the Giants we're pissed off (at least I know I am). 207 rushed yards allowed, Brandon Jacobs best rushing ever. WTH! Well this week we're at home, McNabb is easily sacked & we are not gonna have a rerun of last weeks performance. I want at least 1 of each of the following from the defense next week: Sack, Safety, Interception, Fumble Recovery, TD & I want the Eagles to be held under 7 points. Is that too much to ask for from a team who already has 20 sacks, 2 safteys, & 15 interceptions. Come on secondary get pumped up! Reed & Leonard step it up! Let's get this W. Steelers are definitely going to kill the Browns (unless there's some kind of divine intervention) this week so we gotta stay on their toes with a win. Week 13 Steelers face the Patriots @ NE. They loose that & we're tied again! LET'S GO TEAM!
