Deliverance's Week 11 Power Rankings

[ham55]

El tore up the Big10 when he played, running and passing the ball. Problem was he didn't have a defense that could stop Cambria Heights. Tommy Maddox should just decide to retire this week and let El QB this week vs. the Ravens. I think he'd have a field day vs. them.

Randle El would be tough at QB with a little more experience. They aren't just going to throw him in there against a Ravens defense, though. I think Big Ben will come out and play this week. I'd be very surprised to see Maddox out there. The Steelers don't want to lose another one just because of their backup QB.

Maddox is starting. sonuvabitch. I'm glad i'll be at work, I won't have to watch that terrible display.

It was a terrible display today, Ham. The Steelers looked bad all around today. What was up with Ward kicking that ball? Did he think if he kicked it he was going to be able to catch it? Tommy was running for his life the whole game. It was ugly.

The D didn't play bad(held them to 13 in regulation, should be enough to win EVERY game, no matter who you play, and vastly improved from thier 19 the gave up on Monday night 3 weeks ago). Tommy Maddox didn't have time to throw, and when he did, he'd underthrow a wide open Hines Wards for what should have been at T.D. My early prediction for next weeks Monday night game; Colts 45 Steelers 20.

My question about this game is why did Hines kick the ball. I know they said it was inadvertent. However, a good WR's mentality is to catch the ball at all costs. It cost them the game, though. They were driving and Hines kicked that ball on purpose. He wanted to catch it and make those amazing catches that he normally makes. It cost the Steelers dearly. It cost them the game.

Don't forget about Jacksonville. They have a favorable schedule and could gain more momentum going into the playoffs.
