Steelers’ Polamalu wearing heavy brace
PITTSBURGH (AP)—Steelers safety Troy Polamalu(notes) wore a heavy brace on his reinjured left knee while watching practice Wednesday and did not take part in any drills.
Polamalu limped off the field about 30 minutes before practice ended and did not answer questions. He is all but certain to miss Sunday’s game at Kansas City, and he might not be ready for Baltimore on Nov. 29.
Polamalu injured a knee ligament while tackling Cincinnati’s Cedric Benson(notes) on Sunday. He missed four games after hurting a different ligament during Pittsburgh’s opener.
If he starts in Kansas City, backup Tyrone Carter(notes) would be in the lineup for the sixth time, compared to five starts for Polamalu. Carter also started once for safety Ryan Clark(notes).
Polamalu was injured in the first half of two of those five starts.

I totally agree! In the last seven games, the two games I question is with Baltmore, But the way Baltmore played Cleveland, that's also questionable. On any given Sunday, any team can win! Save
him for both Baltmore. But that is totally up to the medical staff &Troy, but Tomlin has the last say, just like he did with Clark in Denver.

Our offense needs to regain its composure, make more in its running attack with Mendelhall and we are going to cruise until Troy is back for us to pilage in the playoffs!
GO STEELERS!!

First of all, If you had read any of blogs, I was having a debate with Brian J. Second of all, yes Scott did run it back, but then the bungles had a botch field goal! That was the decisive play of the game.
And third of all, I do know a little about football! I played for Joe Pa in the late seventies. So why dont you go find yourself a lady of the field. Just remember, Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...means NO!

It's going to be alright. The nice men is the white suits will help you back to your padded room because the doctor needs to change your meds.
The Bengals' SuperBowl is over. They beat the Steelers twice in the same year. Get your mom to bronze the calender for you! It is special--just like you JP--your gonna like your new pills. They are strong enough for a horse because they were made for horses.
Don't ckoke on it!
When you come to, the Bengals could be 7-3 since they might have lost to the Raiders!!

Take a pill. The Bengals have played well so far this year, but this is the NFL and November football is different than football in September and October. December is even worse because the ground is less forgiving.
You still do not know how the LJ factor will play out. It does not take much to disrupt the chemistry of a team. AND YES, THE BENGALS HAVE PLAYED AS A TEAM FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON. The games have to be played to know what happens in the second half of the season, but the Bengals did start the second half right with a win. It does not mean that they can't drop the next seven since the high point of their season is over.
