You're post about Hines Ward is completely wrong bud.. Yes, all of Hines's big hits come on 'crack-back' blocks, but he blocks every single run play. 98% of his blocking is done straight up. The only blocks that everyone notices are the big hits. Those are the only blocks that make ESPN and other highlight shows. Quit listening to the whiners like Terrell Suggs, and watch Hines Ward throughout a game and you'll find out that he's far from being a dirty player.

And quit with the excuses.. You have a rookie quarterback: The Steelers went 15-1 in Ben Roethlisberger's rookie season.. He started every game after Tommy Maddox got hurt in the season opener that year. You had 3 top defensive guys out: Casey Hampton(Pro Bowler) and Brett Keisel were both out (That's 2/3 of their starting D-line.) Deashea Townsend was out(starting corner.) Willie Parker (Pro Bowl RB) and Rashard Mendenhall was hurt in that game. Pittsburgh beat Baltimore with a 3rd string running back. So please stop with the excuses.. Pittsburgh won the game, whether or not "Baltimore dominated for 3qtrs." Baltimore's good.. The Steelers are better.. Can't wait for the next game.
