Ladies and Germs, wow…Welcome back to the fire-starter! Hump Day Mix
pleaser/teaser to get the ball rolling, up until the Draft and onto the 2012
season. Thanks for tuning in, as you know you’re master of ceremonies Dub
Sleazy, and 1BlkGldFan are back after a much debated hiatus (Arnie is
sitting out this round due to conflict with his schedule but he is with us in spirit)…we
wanted to bring the love and GREEN BEER!!! back here at BTSC with the star
studded eye-candy and play by play from the Celeb pick’s o’ the week, and
this week joining us is…Chachi and WV (give them a hand). So this being a
prelude of what are things to come…sit back and enjoy the show and as always
thank you Mr. Bean (Prez), BTSC and all of our blog supporters b/c without
your input…there wouldn’t be anything like this…well maybe…lol. Now let’s
get to the HUMP!!!

Here is what were feeling right now...props to my cousin Blake for making this...

Post Steelers Season Depression Disorder (PSSDD) from BPO Films on Vimeo.

What episode during the offseason has ticked you off/made you think/about
the Steeler's way of business?

What Up Yinz? It's Chachi (mom's favorite) back on the keys to wax and
talk poop regarding ball, beers, and bare-naked.

Chachi: First off The Standard is the Standard, 25/8. There is nary a move
The Pittsburgh Steelers make which I contest; they are the most consistent
franchise in the NFL for a reason. We may not like it, but 9 out of 10
times our ire is emotional, and emotions aren't business. That doesn't
erase a person's past accomplishments, but all things end. Yinz Nihilists
must dig me, Stoics too. Hines Ward was a great, and he may have another
year left in him, it's just not here. I'm cool with everything the
organization does. I trust. I never liked The Saints, Williams is an asshole. This is not as bad as Spygate but it's pretty bad. Only sad teams who need motivation (because
they are ass) do stupid shit like this (looking at You Baltimore... tic -
tic -tic - TICAL). If Goodell is truly pissed about this, as it does
compromise the integrity of the game, he will make an example. It'll be
nice to see what it looks like when his gavel breaks somebody else's ass.

Dia Beannaigh an teaghlach O'Ruanaidh agus Dia Beannaigh an Pittsburgh
Steelers
(God Bless the Rooney Family and Gold Bless The Pittsburgh Steelers)

Drink like a Champion, Yinz! Sláinte

1BlkGldFan: I'm not gonna lie. I'm disappointed that Hines was released.
My head knows this move was best for the team overall and quite frankly, I
think I was expecting bigger moves LAST year. Has it made me rethink how
the organization is doing business? No. I admire the FO and Mikey T. for
being able to make the tough decisions and I trust them to always keep the
Steelers Way the top priority. After all, how many franchises have as many
long time players remain like the Steelers do. Not many... It's just going
to take some getting used to when #86 doesn't come out of the tunnel on
opening day.

WV: As I sit here and look at the off-season so far, none of these
decisions really make me question the Steelers' Way because all of these
moves are the Steelers' Way. I mean Franco did play his final year in
Seattle.

DubSleazy: In light of everything going on…I understand that these moves needed to be made. To build upon our tradition, we must infuse the youth and keep building through the draft. We will be facing a similar problem next year when ES and AB are free agents. For the betterment of the franchise and this organization some fat has to be trimmed. I was pissed when we let go of Hines, Farrior, and Smith but it had to be done. Kemo can rot for all I care…within the next 3 years, this will be a non-issue. Kevin Colbert, Khan and Rooney’s know what needs to be done for the success in the on-coming years.

Draft needs. What positions do we need to have players fill in/step up?

Chachi: I like Glenn as much as I like Hightower. I don't think Poe will be
there at 1.24 after his combine numbers. I'm probably wrong. I don't watch
college ball and I didn't watch the Combine. The Steelers have taken only
two Guards in the first round since 1996. Alan Faneca in 1996 and Kendall
Simmons in 2002. With the release of Kemoeatu the Steelers may go after
Glenn is he is still available. The dude is big and nasty. I dig that. If
the Scumbirds nab Hightower I can only hope he too falls down three flights
of stairs like a dumbass and misses his rookie season.
I think Keisel becomes the new Defensive Captain and Foote takes Farrior's
place in the middle. Foote called the plays vs NE while Farrior was out and
did a pretty good job. He's only 33 and has some gas left in the tank.
Hopefully Sylvester steps up and makes some noise this year.

1BlkGldFan: I don't follow college football much so the Combine and the Pro
Day's are really all I have to base my opinion on.. Well that and I rely
heavily on the outstanding contributions of BTSC members and the Mock drafts
(You guys don't even know how much I appreciate those.. Thank you!!)
Obvious needs are the O line and IMHO, another selection for the D line
(Poe, please!). ILB and secondary follow closely. Current players that
need to step it up and come into their own: Worilds, Sylvester, Gilbert.
I'm not saying they had bad years, I would like to see a more polished
version though. My hopes for Willie Gay are exceptionally high. I look for
him to have a great 2012.

WV: As look at needs for the team it all is up the middle. Guards, NT and
ILB. All of these positions either need guys that can come in and start day
one or can provide depth. Guard being where we need immediate upgrades and
NT and ILB where we need a guy to help us build for the future.

DubSleazy: What we need is obvious, o-line, nt, ilb, and cb…I believe we can draft all of our needs, in this draft. Call me crazy but let MW walk…I will explain later…Poe is a stud, so is Hightower and Glenn…if we could possibly acquire at least 2 of them we will set the tone…

Mike Wallace...is he gone? Or does he stay? And what will happen down the
road, if either or happen?

Chachi: I think Wallace stays. Mark Kaboly, who has covered The Pittsburgh
Steelers since 2001, Tweeted on March 5 To me, "Wallace to get a ton of play on RFA market" was absolutely plantedor "pitched" story by someone in Wallace's camp to national guys.
Of course this is speculation, but smart minds in the 412 think that The
Steelers called his 'bluff' by not slapping the franchise tag on him. I
think we will see a hopefully productive Mike Wallace where he belongs in
2012, in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform.

1BlkGldFan: Honestly, I don't see Wallace staying. I don't believe the
Steelers are going to come close to paying him the money he wants. I'd love
to see him long term with the black and gold, but I think it would take some
major convincing to keep him here. Ramifications? Maybe... but my heart
isn't going to be broken and I don't for a second see our "reason we'll win
another Super Bowl" leave with him if he does go. It would be a golden
opportunity for Antonio Brown (who IMHO is a better all around WR than
Wallace, anyway) and Manny Sanders who really seems to want this, badly.
Stay or go... I'm not losing sleep over Wallace.


WV: When it comes to Mike Wallace, I think he stays. Because the only teams
that need a true #1 are either high enough in the draft to trade up and get
one or in the same boat we are in terms of cap situation or are NE who
hordes draft pick like Gollum hordes the Ring.

DubSleazy: MW…let him walk, for this reason. We have 2 receivers in ES and AB who will be free agents next year, take another first rounder which could possibly go to drafting Poe, Glenn, or Hightower. Nabbing 2 like I said would set the tone. Kevin Colbert has a nack for finding talent, i.e. 5th round pick for Holmes…AB. I am pretty sure he can work his magic again.



Big Ben and Todd Haley. Match made in Heaven? Or Hell? Thoughts?

Chachi : Haley is Ben's boss. I'd like to see the leash pulled a little
tighter to get to a place between the starched Cowher/Whisenhunt era and the
Arians 'Hey Ben, here's the keys, do some donuts and take it off some sweet
jumps' era. Haley is a great pick in my opinion. I think we need a little
fire on the sidelines. I'm a Haley guy.

1BlkGldFan: I think they're going to be just fine. Kevin Colbert made a
statement shortly after Todd Haley was hired that in a nutshell (and with
some translation) pretty much said, "We hired Todd Haley to run the Steelers
offense the way we want it to be run, not how he wants it to be run." Before
the end of camp, Ben is going to be a much happier camper with Todd Haley
than he expects to be. I like their chances to make it work.

WV: Big Ben Todd Haley, productive relationship that isn't always the
smoothest ride. But I think both will at least be able to work together
for the good of the team.

DubSleazy: I am for Todd Haley…the Todd Haley from the Zona years, not the KC years…if he can implement that style in which made Warner, Fitz, and the rest of that offense better. I am hoping he can do the same for BB. It will be a change of pace…and this is what we need.

Well…this wraps up yet another HDM morsel…tune in next time…when the Mixery takes over the NFL Draft coverage…BTSC style…until then… Sláinte.

Well ladies and germs the time is upon us…Where boys become men, put up or shut up, this is the Playoffs. And here at BTSC we are taking no prisoners. This week has been very hectic for me I recently got back from Portland/Mt. Hood Oregon snowboarding (sorry guys that I couldn’t meet up with you…) and had to listen to the Brownies game on my Crack-berry podcast. With that said, were keeping it simple this week (at least) with myself, Arn, and 1BlkGldfan, and the celeb pick o’ the week: Seton Hall and Steelers (SHS for short lol. Give him a hand…!). As always we give you what you crave: the breakdowns, the predictions, the eye candy and the summary. We take on the Donkeys this week…let’s do this!!!

LIGHT THE FIRE...

How about those Brownies predictions:

Webslasher81: 13 – 9, really?! I wish we would have just rested Ben and Mendy. But as it goes we didn’t and now BB is haggard and Mendy is on the IR. I really don’t know what to say other than "F******************K", and what the hell was up with Toronto and Cincy just lying down and shitting their beds…Wu-saaaa, ok anyway I guess this is how we like to do it, since we have been doing this all season (i.e. backs up against the wall and such…). I didn’t predict this outcome but it will do, we have a chip on our shoulder, and it will be shown against everybody we face…

PixburghArn: I said it would be a tough game and if they didn't allow a

special teams TD they would win by two TDs, but I really thought they would

for some reason. Anyhow it was tough and we only won by one TD.

1BlkGldfan: I expected a higher scoring game but I'm not disappointed. I'd have rather heard Mendy's name for 100+ yards and not in relation to anything ligament related. I predicted the defense would step it up and they did~ good game by quite a few! Antonio Brown has made an art-form out of using his head to catch passes... that's soooo David Tyree! I expected the refs to call a good game.... yeah, I was wrong.

Seton Hall and Steelers: To be honest I expected a blowout (and not a blown-out knee). I thought we would come out and win by 20 or 30 points but I am still happy just coming away with a W.

Standouts from the Browns game:

Webslasher81: If I had any I thought BB would have a career day, and on defense Ike or Troy would have been the game changer…at least one of my pipe dreams came true while in a Log Cabin up in the mountain’s where they Invented the "Oregon Trail" game…

via s.knewton.com

PixburghArn: I said the running game would be the standout. There were great

positives and low negatives in this department so you have to go with Antonio

Brown as the standout again. On defense I said Big Play Willie Gay would come

up big. While he did well and almost did what I predicted in a Tweet this

week (pick 6), Troy was the man again. My nickname for Troy is now

Nightcrawler. Just when you think your safe, he shows up out of nowhere.

1BlkGldFan: Ryan Clark (sack!) Troy incredible plays as always and nice INT,

too! Timmons did a great job and Willie Gay was solid on his Happy Birthday!

Antonio Brown... you're a baller. Hines Ward gets 1000 and Heeeeeeath setting

records of his own. How fortunate are WE to have seen 1000 catches from our

Hines. He'll always be one of my very favorites. Thanks Hines... I sure

appreciate you.

Seton Hall and Steelers: The standouts from this game had to be Troy Polamalu, Ryan Clark, and Antonio Brown. These three members straight up balled out and were the reasons we won. Also, have to give props to Hines Ward for getting #1000. Who didn't love seeing that smile on his face walking off the field with the ball?

Predictions for the Broncos game:

Webslasher81: Going into this game, w/o Mendy, w/o Clark, with a banged up BB and a banged up O-line this is going to be a fight to the death. Hostile crowd, Tebow, a Monkey riding a dog…(wtf), tough game. But there is one thing the Donkeys don’t have…and that’s ME!, yes BTSC faithful I will be at the game on the SIDELINES wearing a Black and Gold lucha libre mask…look for me to spark our team to victory. Steelers 24 – Donkeys 17.

PixburghArn: I predict an ugly game. Denver will come with some things to

counter the Steelers' aggression. Maybe some gadgets, like new wrinkles to

things you saw all year. Tebow is going to have to make some yards with his

feet. Tight-ends and backs will get a lot of action. The Steelers will get

out to a lead and have long time consuming drives, but I don't see them

running away with this. Denver is the team that is not happy with their play

yet happy they are in the dance. They played horrible last week and they will

be focused this week. The Steelers will have to not give Denver any gifts and

counter any early "flurries". Steelers 24 Broncos 10.

1BlkGldFan: I expect Tebow to get Deebo'ed. It's very simple: The Denver

Broncos will be destroyed within 30 minutes. The last 30 will be for nothing

more than proving a point. I expect a high scoring (Steelers, anyway) affair,

with Pittsburgh putting up 30+ points and the top ranked defense allowing <10.

Bold you say? Damn Skippy! Antonio Brown, Heath, Wallace and Sanders (The

Next Great 88) will be very involved; look for good things from our "young

money crew".

Seton Hall and Steelers: This one is going to be a slaughter. It is basically going to be a home game and I know we will be missing Clark, Mendy, and maybe more but I have complete confidence that Tebow is going to crap his pants at least twice and we win big. I don't think the Tebow's get a TD and I think we win 31 to 3.

Predicted standouts for the Broncos game:

Webslasher81: On Offense I am going with our new RB tandem RedBEAST and Clay, (both RB’s accumulate 100+ yds. And 2 scores.) and on Defense, I am going with The Taz and Diesel tandem, (both bring pain to Tebow, Diesel: 2 sacks, 5 tfl, and one strip sack fumble. Taz: (1 Pick to the HOUSE, 1 ½ sack, 4 tfl.).

PixburghArn: My standout is Heath Miller on offense. If Wallace gets single

coverage at all and Ben can get the ball there he will have big numbers. On

defense, I just feel Big Play Willie Gay gets tested this week and passes with

flying colors.

1BlkGldFan: Ryan Mundy will fill in nicely for Ryan Clark and Troy will play

an exceptionally good game in Clarks' absence. I know #33 had a case of the

butter fingers last week (I still say Gilbert recovered that fumble... but I

won't open up that wound: We won; and Cleveland is, as usual, done.) but

expect Redman to see a lot of balls handed off to him and him not fumbling.

Just a hunch. I think Ben is going to look more like the pre-injury Ben this

week. In fact, I think the game will be so far out of the Broncos reach by

the 4th quarter, we'll be able to see C-Batch.

Seton Hall and Steelers: The standouts for this game are going to be Big Ben, Antonio Brown, and Troy Polamalu. For Ben, he is going to show that he is ready to lead us to another Super Bowl and will put up 320 yards and 3TDs. For Brown, he is going to continue to dominate and catch 7 balls for 104 yards and you might as well throw in a TD for good measure. And for Troy, he is going to take his game to a whole new level, recording a sack, forcing a fumble, picking off two Tebow passes, and recording 10 tackles.

Concerns for the Broncos game:

Webslasher81: The concerns I have is how well Ben plays and how well the O-line plays protecting BB from a stout Donkeys line…This and forever will be the outcome from here on out. A heart attack for me looms above my head like a storm-cloud…

PixburghArn: My only concern is Denver making enough plays and Steelers

missing opportunities. I'm afraid the pressure not getting to Tebow and Tebow

getting lots of running yards. The kind of game like the San Diego AFC

championship in Pittsburgh in 1995.

1BlkGldFan: Injuries and Von Miller. That's it. That rookie is a BEAST.

O-line is going to have to protect Ben with serious determination. The

Broncos aren't a horrible team but match up for match up, they don't have 1/2

the talent the Steelers have. I'm concerned that they may let the Broncos

"hang around" when they should bury them by half time. I'll have none of

that, please. Swift, convincing beat-down of Denver would be nice. "IT'S

PLAYOFF TIME STEELER NATION!!! HERE WE GO!!!!".

Seton Hall and Steelers: I have no concerns. None. What so ever. The Tebow's are the worst playoff team in a long time and we are going to slaughter them. Then we are going to slaughter the Ratbirds. Then the Cheaters. And then the Packers on route to Number 7. Dont fear now boys. Number 7 is only one month away.

Well fellow HUMPERS…this wraps up yet another great HDM mixery. Tune in next week (hopefully), when we have a post wrap up of the Broncos game and of what is to come for the Pittsburgh Steelers, with color commentary from your 3 Amigos, and the celeb pick(s) o’ the week…

Hello Boys and Girls and welcome back to the HUMP! Frustration is what I am feeling right now, the stars were aligned for us to have the Super Bowl run through our house and we blew it (so far). This loss stings me a lot from the commentating all the way down to the transformer blowout to purposely postpone the game twice…With that said, myself, 1BlkGldfan, (Arnie is out this week due to illness, pray for a speedy recovery lol!). with the help of our celeb picks o’ the week: Seton Hall and the Steelers, and ncmt40 (give them a hand!!!) will breakdown the niner’s disaster, as well as give you the lowdown for what we expect to come from the Rams. Plus the ever loving eye candy that you all crave. So swallow that bitter pill, b/c hopefully this will ease some of the pain that has befallen us all at BTSC, enjoy!

How about those 49’ers predictions:

Webslasher81: Steelers 20 – 69’ers 17, not so good…during most of the game I thought I was going to have an aneurism, as well as a heart attack. It is a true fact now, that most of my neighbors hate me from the charade that took place Monday night…

Seton Hall and Steelers - I did not make an official prediction but as early as 24 hours before the Niners game I had a bad feeling about the game. Everything seemed to lineup perfectly for a Steelers loss and it happened. Bad refs. Bad play calling. Tons of injuries. Hostile environment. Even throw in some power outages and you have a recipe for disaster.

1BlkGldfan: Well that clearly sucked. No, wait... that super-sucked. Congrats SF you played your Super Bowl Monday night. I hate you and your raggedy old electrical systems and your whole wheat germ-eating State. You stank. I don't want to talk about it anymore. We did NOT handle our business. Golden opportunity: buh-bye for now.

ncmt40: I did not make a prediction last week, but I would have predicted a victory for last week…

Predictions for the Rams game:

Webslasher81: Normally, one would think this game would be a blowout…but after how our boys played on Monday night, I’m not leaving anything to chance. We win but its ugly…Steelers 17 – Rams 7.

Seton Hall and Steelers - Remember that terrible feeling I just talked about having before the Niners game? Well it is the exact opposite for this game. I think we come out angry and physical and I think our very own James Harrison has a career day. The Rams are awful and we are mad and playing for a division title (remember, the Bengals are going to spank the Ravens in week 17 so all we have to do is win out and we get the division). I will go with a crushing 42 to 7 victory for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1BlkGldfan: Short memory time and time to take some aggression out on the hapless Rams in our Christmas Eve final home game. I see the Steelers being very apologetic to Steeler Nation for a poor performance in SF and smashing the Rams right in the gut. Steelers win big; Rams have a lousy Christmas.

ncmt40: This is a game we should win. I want to say that we come out and prove, once again, that the 49ers game was a fluke and be a dominant force throughout the game. Too many factors make me hesitate to say that definitively--O-line inconsistency, BB's status and BA's play calling at times. But this is a home game and the 5 spot is better than the 6 spot. So, we win 16-9.

Predicted standouts for the Rams game:

Webslasher81: On offense I will go with Rush-Hard, (16 touches 111 yds. 1 td.) and on defense, Deebo will be back and I bet he will be pissed, "HULK SMASH"! God help the Rams and Kellen Clemmens, (3 sacks, 1 fumble recovery 3 tfl.).

via www.riverglassdesigns.com

Seton Hall and Steelers: There are going to be so many standouts in this game. First of all, on offense I will go with Big Ben and Hines Ward. For Ben, 17 for 24 for 278 yards and 3TDs. For Hines, I will give him 4 receptions for 68 yards and 2TDs. On defense, I am going with our superstars, Troy Polamalu and James "Deebo" Harrison as well as Lawrence Timmons. For Troy, I will go with 11 tackles, 3PD, 1INT, 1TD. For Deebo, 6 tackles, 1PD, 3.5 sacks. And last but not least, I think Timmons rebounds from the worst game of his career with a dominate performance. 9 tackles, 1 sack, 1FF.

1BlkGldfan: Heath. Troy. Ryan Clark. Yep, that's about it. Welcome back, Mr. Woodley, I've missed you. Ben, you're a trooper and I'm giving you a pass for the "events" that made this game so nauseating to watch when the offense was on the field. Moving on quickly since this is a game I'd like to forget.... On defense, Ryan Clark has been playing some serious ball~ I look for him to bring his A game again. Troy is due and this might just be his time. Keisel is wrecking people with Ziggy Hood right behind him. I really like how Zig-meister is playing. Keenan Lewis... I see you and I like what I see. Keep it up. On offense, Mendy has a good one here. I wouldn't be surprised to see him over 100 yards. Heath is just money. I'll always be a huge Heath fan (and no... not just because he's the most adorable TE in the NFL) but because he really leaves it all on the field: blocking, catching, being Mr. Dependable. Mike Wallace tears off big numbers in the last home game of the season. His Christmas gift to..... himself. Another standout I'd like to mention before I end this is BTSC and all of Steeler Nation. It's hard to believe that the regular season is soon to end and the playoffs are right around the corner~ wasn't that long ago that we were unsure if we were going to be able to cheer our beloved Steelers this year with the lockout dragging on and on... but it was a GOOD year! We give our blood, sweat and tears to the greatest team in the NFL and I for one, don't regret a single minute of it! Win, lose or tie... black and gold until we die! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays BTSC and all of our Steeler Nation family! Hugs!

ncmt40: I will go with Mendy here. I believe he will step up and shoulder the load to take pressure off of whoever is our QB for this game. He only needs 226 yards for 1,000, and I think he gets more than half of that and a TD in this game.

Concerns for the Rams game:

Webslasher81: Which Ben are we getting this week (Jekyll or Hyde)? Which O-line are we getting this week (Swiss cheese or Sharp cheddar)? That will be the outcome of this game, and further on into the playoffs…

Seton Hall and Steelers: Injuries. There are only so many injuries a team can overcome and here are the ones we have overcome this year so far: Ben, Sanders, Colon, Pouncey, Smith, Hood, Woodley, Harrison, Sepulveda, and Polamalu are just the beginning of them. I could name more but I don't want to bore you. I think we need to get an early lead, and then put some backups in and coast to a victory. Hopefully we are winning by enough where Ben can sit the 4th quarter. But as for the Rams themselves, nothing about them concerns me. They suck in every single way. Their coach is Josh freaking McDaniels.

1BlkGldfan: That we don’t unleash pain on the Rams…L.

ncmt40: This one has me a bit concerned. Not because I think we will lose, but because I am not sure about the QB position. This may be the game to see exactly what we have in Dixon. I can see us starting either Dixon or Batch in this game. We needed BB more for the 49ers, than we do the Rams. Let's give BB a rest this week, then let him play a little against the Browns so he does not start the 1st round of playoffs after being off a week.

Well this wraps up yet another awesome HDM, tune in next week when Arn, 1BlkGldfan, and the celeb picks o’ the week (I will be out on vacation in Portland, Oregon lol.) analyze the last regular season showdown with the Brownies at what might be the beginning of road games to come…

It’s that time of the week Ladies and Gentleman of BTSC, the HUMP MIXERY in all of its majesty! The dynamic duo is back at it again plus with our permanent vixen: 1BlkGldFan. As well as the celeb pick o’ the week: count’em_six (give him a hand!!!). Here with the breakdowns from the Browns game last week as well as giving us their take on 49’ers matchup this Monday, plus the eye candy! So sit back, relax and enjoy the bumpy ride that we have in store for you faithful followers…

How about those Browns predictions:

Webslasher81: Um, well we won and that’s what matter’s I guess. But a piss poor rushing offensive outing against a piss poor run defense, take back those fumbles coughed up by Hines and Heath and this game would have been an ass whooping. I said 34 -3 I was off by a couple of TD’s…d’oh! But I have to say this, BB is a beast! The toughest S.O.B. in the NFL period, and for those who thought he wouldn’t be back in the 3rd quarter (myself included) I picture how the convo went with Tomlin. MT: "Ben are you able to play?" BB: "I dunno my ankle feels like it’s about to explode…" MT: "You do know, that if you don’t come back Charlie Batch will play the rest of the game right?" BB: "I will be out there after the half, let me grab some Advil and some tape, I will be ready to go…".

PixburghArn: I predicted the Browns would try to keep a top on the Steelers offense, making them susceptible to the run. That we would gash them. Well we didn't exactly gash them. We should have the ball more often earlier in the game. Not being able to punch it in inside the 5 on 4 straight runs wasn't very comforting. Anyhow... on defense I said the Steelers would dare the Browns to beat them deep and they did, but the Browns couldn't. My score prediction was 24-10. As I look back It could have been this minus the turnovers. My standouts were Rush Hard and Deebo. I would have to give that to Ben and Willie Gay.

1BlkGldFan: I predicted that the Steelers defense was going to have a big game. They did; just not how I envisioned it. Holding the Browns to 3 points, comingup with INT's (I see you Willie Gay... 2 more of those and I'm going to have to order the 2nd jersey ever made sporting #22) solid tackling (don't get mestarted) and an all around good defensive effort. I thought the offense would put up a few (24 to be exact) more points. Hey, I don't mind being wrong one bit if the end result is the Steelers posting a W. Antonio Brown again showed everyone why if they keep all eyes on Mike Wallace, they'remaking a grave mistake. Ben... you're a man amongst men my dear but, I'm not real pleased with our Red-zone work. More on that later.

count’em_six: Well I didn’t officially go on record with a prediction, but I was not surprised at all to see a close game. A big division win vs Cincy on a short week just spelled let-down. I thought they’d win, but the point differential was about right in my mind. Cleveland does have a very good pass defense. Thought we’d run a bit more though. Oh well….on to this week…Welcome back me!!

Predictions for the 49’ers game:

Webslasher81: This game is going to be a slugfest, the 49’ers are coming off a loss to Steelers West, and the Steelers barely scraped by to beat a hapless Brownies team. I scratch my head and flip a coin. I believe the Steelers win but not by much, Steelers 20 – 49’ers 17.

PixburghArn: I have a twin set of predictions. With Ben: We run a west coast style game-plan early and open it up later. Without Ben: We run the ball a lot and west coast style passing and open up later. So, I'm saying the game-plan is the same. Why? Because Batch and Ben are not mobile at this time for different reasons. If Dixon is in then that could all change. Anyhow Steelers win 25-19.

1BlkGldFan: Well I think my psychic ability is going to need the help of a crystal ball, tarot cards and insider info for this one. I think Ben will start. Should he...that's up for debate. If he does, I expect the O-line to protect him with their very lives (and will take a penalty if getting beat by their manjust so Ben stays clean.) The defense is going to have to put this game ontheir shoulders. I don't know what the lineup is going to look like, but whomever is in there better have the game they've always wanted. I think we're going to need it. I do however; believe the Steelers are going to pull out a win, secure a playoff berth and flip off Roger Goodell when they land back in Pittsburgh. I know I would.

count’em_six: We’re going to come out with a purpose on this one. Injuries to key players (plus you might have heard Harrison is suspended) plus a Ravens loss Sunday night (oh yes I did) and they’ll be fired up and smelling blood. The AFC North division lead will be ripe for the taking. San Fran’s offense will not know what him them and will be lucky to score 10 points. If we hold Gore to under 100 and no TDs (given I have him in fantasy football, you should all rest easy on that one), it’s in the bag. Steelers 27 – 49ers 10.

Predicted standouts for the 49’ers game:

Webslasher81: I will tell you who won’t be a standout, KEMO (yea tubbs, I am talking to you…3 times you get called for 3 "boneheaded" penalties that could of set us up for 1st downs, you need to ride the bench b/c obviously you like to cost the Steelers valuable yardage…Coach Kugler, you need to punish Kemo by feeding him veggies instead of cakes and pies ok?) With that said, I say Antonio "Boss" Brown will highlight the offense this dude is just pain sick nasty, (6 catches 122 yds, 1 td), and on defense I will go with "Can’t see me" the dude has been playing "lights out" coverage all year, (4 tackles 1 pick, 3 tips).

PixburghArn: My offensive standout will be Cotchery. And on defense it will be Timmons. Although I see another game where it's a team effort. Many big plays from various players.

1BlkGldFan: On the offense, look for the whole O-line to play a physical, tough game. They know if Ben is back there, his mobility will be limited and they haveto play this one real serious. I expect Heath to be very active with screen passes coming his way often. Don't be surprised if Hines pulls in a few catches himself. AB and Wallace really need to make the 49'er defensebelieve every ball is coming their way. Sell it boys... open up the middleof the field. Run Mendy Run. ....and hold on to the damn ball. On the defense, the secondary has really been playing as close to lights-out as I think they can. I ain't complaining either! If Gay and Ike want to take turns getting INT's, that'd be ok with me. Ike: it's your turn. Ithink he's going to have a really great game. Don't ask me why, but I thinkFarrior is going to put up some nice numbers for himself

count’em_six: PAIN…

Concerns for the 49’ers game:

Webslasher81: As always, I pinpoint the most of what I see. What I saw last Thursday is that for the most part our line minus a few morons (KEMO), held their own especially when BB came out in the 3rd quarter. The line, and injuries to both BB and Pouncey and stupid mistakes (i.e. not keeping wraps on the ball and coughing it up Ward/Heath), will ultimately be the resolve for the outcome of this game. Mistakes and Injuries, I guess my heart attack rant last week to both Coach T, and Coach Dad didn’t work out so well…If at any time I end up at the hospital b/c of how things are going, I am sending the Steelers FO the medical bills…lol.

PixburghArn: My concerns are first of all QB. Is it Ben, Batch or Dixon? And how will Ben hold up if it's him? How will Batch do since he's not a threat to get free and create plays? If Dixon gets the call, will he be overwhelmed? My only concern on defense is not letting Gore get going.

1BlkGldFan: This whole game concerns me. Not because I think SF is such a little Bay City Roller of a team, I'm concerned for the well-being of the Steelers.The injury bug bites us hard, but with the crew we have, they'll play through anything. My concern mostly lies with Ben. Will he come out if heneeds to? I would hope so... because the man has nothing to prove to anyone when it comes to sheer toughness, determination and what it means to be a leader of a team. Be smart, Ben. Defense, step up your game and put some points on the board. I just don't know if I can handle watching Mendy try and run the ball from the 1 yard line FOUR TIMES and not get it in ever again. My blood pressure meds are just not that good. Stop it.

count’em_six: As previously alluded, Gore (maybe Davis too) is my only concern regarding our opponent. He can be downright sick, but I’m quite familiar with him as I’ve drafted him a few times over the years in fantasy football….and I don’t know why I keep doing it. He’s sick against inferior defenses, but gets stuffed against above average ones. We were gashed a few times early which threw our run def YDS/GM off (and resultant league ranking), but we’ve since worked out a few kinks. I expect him to be held in relative check. Vernon Davis could pose problems, but what we did against NE is encouraging. My greater concern is our injuries. Klompupotamus had a good point in a separate post that if Pouncey can’t go, that puts Kemo-Eat-Ur-Yardage (formerly Kemo-Eat-U) out there. I’m not looking for that. Here’s to Maurkice getting out there. It’s a popular sub-debate on this here blog, but I’d rather our guys get out there and play if they can.

Cheerleaders of the week:

Webslasher81: Well I am glad that the 49’ers got cheerleaders…here is a few that I wouldn’t mind getting cozy with:

Well this wraps up yet another fun filled chapter of the HUMP, please tune in next week faithful followers when we come back home to take on the lowly St. Louis Rams @ the Ketchup Bottle…Enjoy the rest of your week!!!

Well ladies and germs, welcome back to the HUMP! I’m back from sunny California, and let me say I had a hell of a time, but I missed you guys at BTSC and I know Arnie held down the fort and quite well for that matter, that’s why he is my right hand man. Anyway, as much booze that I killed my liver with this past week; I sobered up enough to know that the Steelers are playing like a bat outta hell. This Thursday we take on the Brownies, and to help us in this endeavor breakdown, our celeb pick’s o’ the week consist of: 1BlkGldFan (permanent spot), tannofsteel84, and MDSTEELERSFAN (give them a hand!!!). As well as the Bengals game breakdown…let’s get to it shall we?

Courtesy of 1BlkGldFan: Here is the start up!!! (I'm sorry I couldn't poast your original pic, but I have found one similar. lol.).

via www.pitairport.com

How about those Bengals predictions:

Webslasher81: Although I didn’t make waves for the past 2 weeks, I just knew we would beat them like red-headed step children that they are…(pun intended for Dalton.).

PixburghArn: I said the focus and execution would return. I also said theexecution in the Red-zone would happen. Although I said the Bengals would score late to make it look respectable, I did allude to a run away. This is what it looks like to win all three phases of a game.

1BlkGldFan: Oh what a difference a week makes! I predicted that with the Bengals game, the Steelers would kick into playoff mode. By the looks ofthings this past Sunday, the Steelers thought they should, too. Very good game on all three phases: Antonio Brown was due on special teams. James Harrison is relentless. Rush-hard Mendenhall... keep on truckin! I likedthis game. Very, very much. Lest I forget: Tis the season for miracles. Ike Taylor has 2 INTs in as many games. If that isn't proof enough for you, then you just don't want to believe.

tannofsteel84: I didn't have any HDM predictions but I always thought that the Steelers would come out a lot sharper than they did against KC. There were many concerned after the KC game and to a degree rightfully so. I thought that wallace would get back on track and Saunders would be more involved, baby steps on both accounts. On defense I thought we'd give up some points with Troy being dizzy from last week and not knowing how woodley would play although I expected woodley to show that the hammy is ok, that did not happen.

MDSTEELERSFAN: We won…that is all!

Predictions for the Browns game:

Webslasher81: Boy oh boy, don’t you just love this time of year? I do, I love the fact that winter is here and the playoffs are right around the corner,…The Browns are the Browns and will forever be the suck that they succumb to. Steelers 34 – Turds 7.

PixburghArn: I am going to say that the Browns come out on defense and tryto keep a top on the Steelers offense, leaving them vulnerable to the run.As we saw this week, they are vulnerable. The Steelers will dare Clevelandto beat them deep. They will try to use plays that use Joshua Cribbs & Peyton Hillis to set up each other and to set up plays downfield in thepassing game. In the end the Steelers put up enough. Steelers 24 Browns 10.

1BlkGldFan: Once again my psychic side is speaking and saying the +/-turnover pit we dug for ourself in week one; is gone this week. Don't be surprised if the defense has 2 pick-6's. Ben is still owed a couple of great catches for the foolish, easy ones the receivers dropped this week. Stick 'Um: If you ain't cheatin'; you ain't tryin'. I predict, with every fiber of my black and gold being, the Steelers are going to win very big.

tannofsteel84: I predict another stress free game. Not the blow out we had this game but another dominating performance. The Browns just aren't that good and on the road on a short week that will be obvious. The road teams on the short week this year haven't faired well for the most part. Green Bay and Oakland were the only two road teams to win so far on the short week. Oakland faced an imploding Chargers team and Green Bay faced an imploding Lions team. The Steelers aren't imploding nor is the Browns as capable as the Raiders or Packers. Expect the running game to be dominant and the defense to be smothering. Just like I like them.

MDSTEELERSFAN: Maybe I have been talking too much with Steeler-Fever, but I am feeling confident in the Black & Gold. After what the Dirty Bird’s did over the weekend, I would expect a strong ground assault this week – We will see both Mendenhall and Redman with 100 yard games and maybe even 30 or so from Dwyer. Defense will continue to dominate and the most Cleveland will get on Stat sheet is 7. Troy will finally notch a pick and Clark will perform at leastone ball from hand separation. Due to the extensive running, I do not anticipate a high score Steelers 24 – Browns 7 in a beat down.

Predicted standouts for the Browns game:

Webslasher81: On offense, I’m going with BB. He is the master and commander of O-H-I-O, expect him to have a great day zinging the ball around like Santa loves cookies and milk (17-22 att. 304 yds. 3 tds, 17 yds. Rushing.). On defense, man I have to tell you Deebo is tearing it up, and look for him to have another huge day against another bottom-feeder of the AFC North (8 tackles, 4 tfl, 2 sacks, and a additional strip sack fumble for the yuletide cheer…).

PixburghArn: I am going to say the offensive standout will be Rush Hard. He will get the ball enough get big number and at least 1 touchdown. On defense it will be Deebo again. He always has good games against the Browns.

1BlkGldFan: I didn't get to see the Browns/Ravens game but I watched both ofthe Browns highlights (yeah.. 2 of them) and they are playing some lousyfootball. This should be an exceptionally good time for the entire Steelers defense. Colt McCoy is a pretty decent QB who I expect to be sacked 4+ times this week. Woodley can easily sit this one out; our other LB's got it covered. Once again, I look for a more explosive, less conservative offense. Big game possibilities from Mendy, AB and Wallace. I look for Heath to be a factor, too. On the defense, expect our LB's to apply more pressure. Keisel seems to be getting very involved in the backfield with his friend Ziggy Hood. I don't see that changing this week either. Yes, Virginia we do have a secondary and Ryan Clark will make his star shine. Sacks, INTs and forced fumbles: James Harrison isn't finished wit ya.

tannofsteel84: Standouts for this game on offense, it will be mendy, he will break 100 on this game, I know too easy. I think Ben will stand out again. I think we'll see another no interception game from him and just complete control of the game. On defense, I'm going to go with Worlids. He is starting to get the hang of this here OLB thing and I think we keep woodley out of this game as a precaution. This is his breakout game, 2 sacks, multiple pressures, 8 tackles, 3 TFL (tackles for loss), 1 int, and 2 passes defensed. I will also go with Lewis, I say he'll have 4 passes defensed 1 int and 3 tackles. He'll show that we have plenty of CB depth to contain the packers when we see them in the SB. Bring it Rodgers.

MDSTEELERSFAN: A. Brown is going to continue his winning ways and will carveup the Browns secondary for big chunks. Wallace will likely have tougher sledding being match up against Browns standout Joe Haden. The D will win as a unit withdifferent guys getting to McCoy, expect to see sacks from Keisel, Heyward, Harrison and Worilds. Big Ben will have a masterful performance in distribution, hitting anyone who is open, but the standout for the game will be Mendy with 120 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Concerns for the Browns game:

Webslasher81: I remember a couple of years ago, when we lost to the Brownies on bullshit. And it was on a Thursday night as well…The Steelers need not to play down to a lesser opponent, capitalize on every mistake that is given to them, and put this team to sleep so we have that 10-3 record. The only issue I have at this point from looking back at this season so far is that we let teams hang around when we have a lead, this is a heart attack awaiting to happen for me, and I love my life so please Coach Dad and Coach Tomlin, all I want for Christmas from here on out is a Lombardi I won’t settle for less…

PixburghArn: I know this was years ago, but I still can't get that sorry game the Steelers lost up in Cleveland in arctic conditions. They just ran the ball with Cribbs and pretty much had their way. That was a display of lack of focus if I've ever seen one. I don't want to see that happen again.Besides that, I have too many friends (a cousin included) that are Browns fans. The many Bengals fans that find it amusing to make faces and rude comments because I'm wearing a Steelers jacket, have been put to sleep for the year. I don't want to hear the Browns fans talking now. By the way, the Browns fans are much more knowledgeable and at the least, coherent.

1BlkGldFan: The post game show hadn't even started yet when one of my fellow Steeler Nation brothers said, "Well I hope the Browns game isn't a trap game for us." Fuuuuuuudge. Had to go bringing that up, didn't ya. While Idon't believe this is anywhere near being a trap game, I do hope the Steelers don't pull a Ravens and drop off intensity since it is the Browns.Running off 28 unanswered points in the 2nd quarter is ok... as long as they remember to play all 4 quarters. (Sidenote: A friend of mine is the announcer for the local pro hockey team and occasionally tosses some exceptionally good tickets my way. His wife, who happens to be a Yinzer,reminded me that she can always tell when football fans come to see the hockey games. They're the ones left in the arena waiting for the 4th periodto begin. Yep... I'd have been sitting there.) Play hard, for 60 minutes,please.

tannofsteel84: The only concern I have is the Steelers beating themselves. Turnovers, penalties, not focused - thinking this win will be given to them. That is the only way the Steelers lose Thursday night. There isn't anything the Browns have that concerns me. We are the better team, if we bring our C game we will win, A game we will blow them out.

MDSTEELERSFAN: Of course the 5 game slide is in the memory bank for this game, but that was a different team with different issues. Our current iteration of the Steelers is hitting its stride, not stumbling as that team was. My concern for this game is the same as it has been since 2005 when Jack Lambert and James Harrison’s Kent State Alumn showed on the scene – Joshua Cribbs. Cribbs has made a career out of putting the dagger into the Steelers, but not this time. The Browns will have a tough time generating any offense in this game.

Well faithful followers of the HUMP, this wraps up yet another fun filled EPIC edition, I hope you guys have enjoyed the rants and eye-candy. Tune in next week when we take on yet another Harbaugh bastard…as we head to Candlestick to take on the 49’ers…get ready for THUNDERDOME!!!

Continue reading this post »

 

Welcome back boys and girls to the HDM mixery. First off great win this past week versing the Bengals, very impressed that we have improved out INT ratio to +1 from being -11 the past 9 games. Plus the Ravens lost which is pivotal making us the kings of the hill once again of the AFC North (as a matter of fact the Brownies lost as well, great week for us in general.) Speaking of the Ravens, is it just me or are they only hardwired (i.e. morally driven to beat us w/o any other initiative to beat anybody else) to play us to the bone, and then totally "shit the bed" the next week after they play us? This bye week will be much needed to get the rest of our defense that is hurt back to full force as well as with other players nursing minor injuries to lick their wounds and get ready for next week’s showdown with the Chiefs. As usual myself and Arn are at the helm to bring you what you need. Plus the Celeb pick o’ the week: PCISteeler will be helping us breakdown the Bengals game and what to improve/not improve during our vacation time. Plus bringing you the eye-candy that you have grown quite accustomed to, let’s get to it shall we…

 

How about those predictions from the Bengals game?

Webslasher81: Well I predicted Steelers 31 - Bungels 13, and that didn’t turn out to be…I believe Arnie was really close to the score with a Steelers 27 - Bengals 23 nail biter…Either way I was very happy with the outcome.

 

PixburghArn: I said it would be another nail-biter.  I also said the key is to stop the run and not allow the occasional jump ball to A.J. Green.  Well they stopped the run enough to get favorable 3rd down situations but still allowed a few gashes.  They did allow a jump ball that Troy just watched.  Ben hit just enough passes.  He missed a few open receivers as well but he had just enough. They really didn't play mistake free as I said they would have to, but they won the turnover differential.  The Miller bobble INT was the only mistake in the turnover department.  I said 27-23 and it was 24-17 Another added point: My concerns from last week were AJ Green with big plays and Benson getting over 100 yards.  I said if they do both we lose.  Well I'm glad we didn't have to test that theory.

PCISteeler: I didn’t make a prediction this past week. The only thing I wanted was a bounce back win after that Sunday night loss. Happy with the outcome as well, but why do I have to suffer through a win? Why BA?

 

How did your predicted standouts do for the Bengals game do?

 

Webslasher81: my man AB came through with the quickness on offense, if the rest of the league doesn’t know that this guy is a STUD, then they are sleeping on him which by the way they will find out pretty soon on why he complements MW so well. And he brought a smile to my face. Although Ben get him some touches in the endzone please? B/c that would help me out a lot in 2 of my fantasy leagues in which I drafted him. On defense I had DEEBO, now he didn’t have a bad game per say but he didn’t destroy Dalton like I wished he would have. Those damn "O" linemen just love to put his ass in a headlock when he beats them on the rush…

PixburghArn: I said it would be Sanders on offense.  He did his thing even though he was -100 and no TDs.  There were various offensive standouts at different points of the game.  AB straight beasted the Cincy secondary in on drive.  Ben was on point with the throws as well.  Cotchery made big plays with one TD reception and Mendenhall added two TDs. One of those TDs was a man-sized effort.

 

PCISteeler: If I would have had a standout last week it would have been Brown and Cotchery. With Sanders and Ward out lately, we don’t miss a beat because I believe we have carbon copies of Ward and Manny with Brown and Cotch.

 

How about any team revisions, that needs to be completed both on offense and defense?

 

Webslasher81: One thing that irks the hell outta me is that when we are up on a team, we play soft. We need to put teams away for good to show the rest of the AFC that the defending AFC champs are no slouches. Not to say that any team thinks that way about us, but those awesome analysts (pun intended, sarcasm for the win) seem to always and I mean always find a way to piss me off when they talk about us (Warren Sapp I’m looking at you, ya big oaf, lay off the cheeseburgers and the cakes and pies b/c I know t.v. adds about 15 lbs to your stature but you look downright disgusting in your suit and tie…In which I believe the back stage helpers just paint on your outfit b/c your just too damn heavy to wear anything other than sweats and a moo moo, as well as sweating motor oil and Crisco when the lights are on you for 6 hrs.). 

 

PixburghArn: I just want to see the team healthy. It looks like they haven't yet peaked but they have shown that when they do, they will be a force to be reckoned with.

 

PCISteeler: I hate Sapp. And to know that I told my wife to vote for him on Dancing with the Stars years ago.  Yuck!! I hate how fake he is on air and how he exaggerates his emotions. Everyone on that panel hates him. But on to the question.. The Steelers Offense needs to reassure me that they can move the ball in the Fourth quarter. BA run plays are too predictable. Oh and Ben, please play more like Ben.

 

Who are the team MVP’s of the season so far, both on offense and defense?

 

Webslasher81: As how I see it today, just my opinion: Ben is the OPOY and Troy is the DPOY. (I know, I know DEEBO is back and WOOD before his injury was coming on strong for defense, as well as MW and AB making clutch catches to do what we do best on offense, but this is just opinion based.).

 

 

PixburghArn: I'll say Antonio Brown on offense.  Ben would be a good answer, but Brown affects two phases in a dynamic way.  Ok you just said offense but he's my choice.  On defense I am going to go with Ike Taylor.  I think Ike has earned his pay.  Just my opinion.

 

PCISteeler: OPOTY(so far) would have to be Ben. It starts with him and ends with him. He can have a crappy game, give up some dumb turnovers and have a passer rating the size of Keira Knightley's bust but still win the game. DPOTY(so far) would have to be Woodley.  He signed his extension this offseason and started off kinda slow, but he has exploded. Dude is a beast. The only thing that slowed him down was himself. He will have 3 weeks of rest. I'm excited for his return. Special shout-out goes to Hood and especially Heyward. Our future looks very bright with them commanding the trenches.

 

What concerns/pressing matters do you have this week?

 

Webslasher81: The"O" line, I know I haven’t picked on them for awhile, b/c they were doing great, well as great as what can be done, but to give up 4 sacks (or is it 5?) anyway, that is just too many for the Bengals, yes the Bengals to have…The other issue that I have is that although "Big Play" Willie Gay utterly won that game for us when he caused Dalton’s 2nd pick. But he isn’t on the same level as Ike, can we just rotate Kennan Lewis or Cortez Allen into the lineup in wake of his disastrous play 95% of the time…I’m just saying Coach Dad. I mean I know you know best "Great One" but Gay flat out sucks.

 

PixburghArn: My only real concern is staying healthy.  We need to get all the pieces back and get it rolling.

 

PCISteeler: Let’s lay off my guy Gay here lol. Dude has come through adversity all of his life. He could be worse like Cold and cough. Random factoid: Gay caused Louisville perfect season years ago when he went off-sides. Rutgers was going for the win and Gay went offside. The kick was up and was no good but after the second chance, wouldn't you know, it was good.

 

 

Cheerleader of the week:

 

Webslasher81: Since the "tradition" is putting up cheerleaders of the teams that we are playing this week, this week being the Bye I believe we all get a pass…here are my top 3 from around the league:

Well faithful followers of the HUMP, this wraps up another fun filled edition. Please tune in next week in which Arn will be taking over for me as well as the Celeb pick’s o’ the week in breaking down the matchup @ Arrowhead versing the Chiefs…for which I will be in Cali enjoying a booze-a-thon that will commence for a week, cheers!!!

 

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen of the Hump welcome to: Redemption Phase 1. This loss has outright sickened me, a million different scenarios rushed through my drunken "haze", I sat speechless in front of my t.v. screen in disbelief, "did the defense really let Joe Flacco and the Ratbirds drive 93 yards with only 8 seconds to go on our 25 yd line and let Torrey Smith score a td? The bullshit flags being thrown at inopportune times or not being thrown at all (i.e. Helmet to Helmet from Ray Ray on Hines, bullshit officiating in every essence, I want those refs heads on pikes…etc.) One word: Unbelievable! I can speak for Arn and our celeb pick(s) o’ the week: WV and our very first female contributor: Steelcitysweehteart,  (sorry 6 we will get you in on the KC HDM my bad bro.) when I say this…2 things have to happen, 1. The Ratbirds have to lose 2 games, and 2. we have to WIN outright. And hell, 3. A whole lot of praying has to happen throughout…The eye candy and the breakdowns of the Ravens game including another crucial divisional matchup versing the Bengals this Sunday will commence final note: I’m shouting out MaLoR, I know, I know hear me out though… he is actually cool guy once you get to know him for people who know what I am talking about (i.e. Tann, Arn, etc…), I had a long convo with him on 360 a couple of nights ago and it was legit, he is just misunderstood and he respects the hell out of the Steelers, so he is cool in my book… Look it is what it is, we lost, it hurts, but what do WE do, we dust ourselves off and get ready for next week, (Like Coach Cowher did in the ’05 season, wipe the slate clean and focus on one game at a time)…that’s what we do, we overcome and shine. We always go through the mud, the stink, the shit, and come out smelling like roses, were Blue Collar through and through and we know how to do it best when we have our backs up against the wall. I’m off my soap box now (thank god right lol), the floor is now yours faithful followers have at it…

 

How about those predictions from the Ravens game?

 

Webslasher81: 20-17 we win…23-20 we didn’t win…I’m disgusted…and I hope our boys are as well…

 

PixburghArn: I said 27-20.  That we would go West Coast offense on them with some runs sprinkled in.  Pretty much right except for the outcome.

 

WVPF: I wasn't involved with last week’s HDM, but I still thought we would win a close game because I am a Steelers fan and I expect victory and said victory to be hard on my heart.

 

Steelcitysweetheart: I thought we’d win 21-13, but that was not to be.  Try watching that travesty with two Ravens’ fans…not a good night.

 

 

How did your predicted standouts do for the Ravens game do?

 

Webslasher81: Heath on offense, he had a decent day. And on D Timmons, who also had a decent day…

 

PixburghArn:  Well my offensive standout wasn't playing so maybe we would have won if he played.  Hahaha  My defensive was Clark.  He could have been the difference maker if the NFL allowed you to break up passes anymore.  He also cut his top coverage short on the game winner.  Harrison was probably the real standout.  We could have used Woodley this game for sure.  By the way, what was that in Starks' pocket?  Oh yeah it was Suggs.  Ben made one mistake and was it huge.  Also to be noted the difference between this game and the previous games where we won is the big play on defense to close it out.  That tipped pass by Rice would have been picked by Polamalu in the past.  Those are the plays the defense isn't making.

 

WVPF: If I had picked a guy on offense I would've said AB, simply because I don't think the Ravens secondary is that good. Defense, Troy because he tends to make big plays against the Ravens. 

 

Steelcitysweetheart: Mike Wallace on offense but he did not have the game I had hoped for.  On D, Foote did well on the inside and the stats showed it.  May not have been the best performance, but definitely made his presence known.

 

 

How about the predictions for the Bengals game?

 

Webslasher81: Meat and Potatoes, Meat and Potatoes…I’m sure that you all know that it’s make or break time, and It might be a little too early for Tomlin’s "Unleash Hell" speech, but I think we need it after this past game…I will pray for Andy Dalton’s family after we murder him and expose the Bengals for the frauds that they are…Steelers 31 -  Bungels 13.

 

PixburghArn: This is going to be another nail-biter. The key to this game is going to be stopping the run and not allowing the occasional jump ball to AJ Green.  Pressure and different looks for Dalton will serve us well.  On offense Ben is going to have to just complete passes.  The Titans had guys open all over the field against the Bengals and even had time but Hasselbeck couldn't hit them.  If the Steelers play mistake free they win this game by double digits.  If they play around then they are going to have to survive a flurry near the end of the game.  Steelers make enough plays and persevere.... Steelers 27 Bengals 23.

 

WVPF: Pain. Steelers 34 - Bungals 14

 

Steelcitysweetheart: Tomlin had better not dust off his "Unleash Hell" speech.  That hasn’t worked out so well for us in the past.  I need the team to hunker down, take the extra day to prepare and kick some Bungle ass. I’m looking for a big day on defense.  I give Andy Dalton mad props for getting his team this far, but Steelers will win the day 28-17.

 

 

 

How about the predicted standouts for the Bengals game?

 

Webslasher81: Well since we didn’t throw the "long ball" all game, I’m going with Antonio Brown on offense to shine (5 rec 110 yds. 2 tds), and on defense I’m going with DEEBO, his return was awesome but wasn’t good enough, this game he will be super pissed and show Dalton who his daddy really is…(3 sacks, 5 tfl, one strip sack fumble recovery).

 

PixburghArn:  My standout on offense is Sanders.  The same as last week, 100+ yards and a TD in the red zone. One defense Troy intro’s the Rookie.  Welcome to the NFL Rook....Troy with the pick 6.

 

 

WVPF: Offense I'm taking HEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAATH, because BA seems to have remembered that he does in fact play for us. Defense, I'm taking Keenan Lewis. He seems to be getting it and the receiving core of Cincy isn't that good after AJ Green, solid but nothing spectacular.

 

Steelcitysweetheart: I’m looking at you, Mike Wallace.  You need to step up and fix those numbers from last week. I want to see you break out and expose a Bengals secondary that has faced mediocre receivers at best.  On defense I’m picking Harrison and Keisel to come back with a vengeance.  Harrison did well on Sunday but I think this week he will make Andy Dalton cry.

 

 

 

What concerns do you have this week?

 

Webslasher81: What was up with the "stunt and run" defense coach dad was running? I mean honestly, and Ben, throwing that pick to horseface entirely broke our backs…you’re a vet, you have great downfield vision utilize it…Oh and Bruce Airans I hate you…I just wanted to say that haha!

 

PixburghArn: I will say my concern is AJ Green making big plays and Cedric Benson getting 100 yards.  If both of these happen we lose.

 

WVPF: Same concerns as every week, will the offensive line keep getting better, can we punch it in the endzone when we get in the red zone, can we score more points than the other team. 

 

Steelcitysweetheart: Sir William Gay concerns me to no end.  He showed his weak spots on Sunday and we can’t afford to give anyone space (that’s how you end up with a 93 yard drive and touchdown to win the game…)  I am also a little concerned about Mendenhall.  Cincy shut down CJ 2yrds and he is certainly not of the same caliber so I’m not particularly worried, but it is still in the back of my mind.

Well followers, this wraps up another week of the Hump, tune in next week when we take on…OURSELVES in the "bye" week kickoff lol. As always Arnie, myself, and the celeb pick o’ the week will do our very best with the breakdowns and the eye candy. With this much time needed off to heal our injured players to get into playoff form, b/c the rest of the schedule although looks easy on paper will be no "walk in the park" KC will be up next after the bye as we take them on in Arrowhead, so strap in and get ready for the ride…

 

Hello ladies and germs and welcome back to the HDM brew ha ha!!! This week is a pivotal time for us Steeler folk in the AFC North, as we take on our arch-rival Ravens from Baltimore. Tensions will be higher than ever because this game decide our seed placement for a playoff run as well as who wears the crown as this year's divisional champ.  To help us this week for our celeb pick is: TVsChachi. He is bringing the fire as usual to help out the dynamic duo, breakdown the AWESOME win versing the Patsies last Sunday and the breakdown of our most hated advisory as well as bringing you the EYE-CANDY that you love.Well let's get to it shall we?

 

How about those predictions from the Patriots game?

Webslasher81: I predicted that we would win 24-21,  but.overall what we showed the whole NFL yesterday, the people that doubted us, and the people who still continue to do.that were not old, tired, and worn out. We're here to stay and personally I believe we will be playing hard-nosed in Feb.

PixburghArn: I predicted a shootout.  Ok, someone got shot! I also predicted some turnovers by Brady.  We almost got the tipped pass INT, but we did get the strip fumble. I said they would make just enough plays to pull this out. I was wrong they made more than enough plays to pull this out, but they almost missed enough plays to not win.  I had an 11 point margin.  We won by8.  Not great, but not too shabby.

 

TVsCHACHI: This wasn't last year's STEELER Defense Tom Brady, you smug coiffed douchebag, this is 2011, so walk on back to your sunny estate and suck a weepy flaccid metrosexual boot.  You told your fat & 'roided lineman you "got" the STEELERS game and we watched it come back to bite you on your pasty white ass. 

 

How did you're predicted standouts for The Patriots game do?

Webslasher81: On offense I had Mikey Wallace and although he had decent day the win but a smile on my face, and on defense I had WOOD, and as some people are calling him "the paper tiger" I honestly tell these fair-weather fans on facebook and other media sites to go root for another team.  I believe he brought the lumber yesterday and that hamstring injury that he had will get patched up in time for theRavens game b/c nobody sleeps on that one.

PixburghArn:  I said A. Brown would be the standout and that Heath would do his thing as well.  Though I got their stats wrong, they were standouts. I'll take that.  Ben did very well.  He made one big mistake.  I said it would be hard to choose on defense because of various individual efforts throughout the game.  BINGO.  Though Wood and Ike and take a bow.

 

TVsCHACHI: More F*cking Keisel.  The Beard Disrupts like The Dude Abides.  Lo, the many glorious batted balls from the line - and a beautiful strip which led to a late game Benny Hill-esque scamper - Troy is the only safety in the league.

 

 

How about the predictions for the Ravens game?

 

Webslasher81: Throughout 8 weeks HC Tomlin has been talking about the Ravens and personally couldn't wait to chomp at the bit to take them on again, but this time it's at our house and for the pre-game talk I hope Tomlin just shows the highlights of week one's pounding, Ravens HC Harbaugh running up and down the field like a classless piece of trash that he is, and how they ran up the score on us, all while playing Renegade on repeat.this will fire up our boys and I know coach Dad has something special brewing in the pot for Fluke-o and that "explosive" offense they have (pun intended, sarcasm). We go out like the gladiators we are and leave it on the field, another blood bath is to be upon us.we win! Steelers: 20 - Ratbirds 17.

 

PixburghArn: An ugly game is coming.  The first game of the season was uncharacteristic, even to the point of the gameplan.  Usually Ed Reed doesn't factor into the game.  Look for a continuation of the West Coast offense with some runs sprinkled in.  Jab jab jab, then strike deep. Offense rebounds from that horrible outing the first week and puts up 27. The Ravens offense has mixed success but can't get it done.  Flacco gets picked twice, manage to get 20 points.  You got it..27-20 Steelers.

 

 TVsCHACHI: My Blood Runneth Black with Hate - Week 1 was a Revenge Play more epic than Kill Bill. John Harbaugh all but snuck into the STEELERS locker room and cut the crotch out of their respective pants, like a silly & scorned sad dejected scumbag he was hellbent on victory and humiliation - well suck those dry husks in your lonely dank film-room Harbaugh because you won't see that again.  Act like you been there before... oh wait - You Haven't.  And by the way, this isn't the Week 1 STEELERS Defense but I'm sure that's already on your quarterback's mind (tic-tic-tic Joey) Steelers 27 / Scumrats 16

 

How about the predicted standouts for the Ravens game?

Webslasher81: To quote coach dad "This won't happen again." I'm going with on offense Heath Miller (in which had a break out day against the Patsies and I feel were gonna use him again.) (8 catches 80 yds 1 td). On defense, I got Timmons tearing stuff up (i.e. b/c Wood if he plays will be limited, and hopefully we get Deebo back but who knows.). (6 tackles, 3 tfl, 1 sack, 1 FF).

 

PixburghArn: On offense I'm going to have to go with Sanders.  Sanders tops 100 yards and scores on a possession inside the 10.  On defense Clark. Clark will get one of the picks.  I think special teams will be the difference maker though.

 

TVsCHACHI: On Offense Large Benjamin continues to do what he do: evade fools in pursuit, get the ball into the hands of many money ballers, and not be Joe Flacco (sorry Joe, I stand corrected, you did tell the press you're "Pretty Damn Good").  Defensively we gotta see players step up and fill the big shoes of LaMarr Woodley and James Harrison.  Expect a lot of Troy and a buzzsaw chorus of the collective New Young STEELER Talent - 412 Tical!

 

What concerns do you have this week?

Webslasher81: Although we looked solid both on "O" and "D", BA still has me scratching my head on some of those plays on Sunday, I hope he can get that "stick" out from his ass and let BB do his own damn thing.Air it out to ES, MW, or AB all day.our "Young Money" click is beast and can't be tamed. The run game will hit a speed bump this weekend. But we will gain decent yardage, maintain the clock management like we did against the Patsies, and we should be fine.

PixburghArn: My concern for this week, is Rice.  Boldin not so much, but a slight concern.  But if Rice doesn't get his the Ravens are done.  On defense I'm concerned with Suggs on the outside.  That's about it.  Because if Ben has time the Ravens will pay.

 

TVsCHACHI: Gary Coleman and Horseface.

Well followers if the HUMP! This wraps up yet another fun filled chapter of lore.  Tune in next week as the 2 Rebels w/o a cause plus the celeb pick(s) o' the week breakdown another foe from the AFC North as our beloved Stillers travel to Cinci-nasty to take on the Bengals (viewer discretion is advised!!!).

 

Welcome back to the HDM mixery, faithful followers of the hump! Your 2 Musketeers are still bringing you the "Humping" rants and eye candy that you love with no exception of what’s to come. This week we have a 2 for 1 special celeb pick o’ the week starting with MichaelHewitt99 and our very own "Sauce Boss" Michael Bean, (Give them both a hand!!!) to help us rave from our great victory last week against the Cards and this week’s breakdown of the Patsies from NE. Let’s get to it shall we…*** (pun intended, it’s better than saying FEET 100 times in an interview lol).

 

How about those predictions from the Cardinals game?

Webslasher81: I said 17-13 Steelers would win; I was thinking it was going that way when the Cards scored their 2nd td. Then the flood gates were open and the defense dominated the way that they have been the past 3 weeks…I am happy with the outcome!

PixburghArn:  I predicted special teams would kill the Cardinals.  They didn't KILL them but they didn't help them either. I also predicted The Cardinals defense would make it tough.  Negative. I did  say the Cardinals would score off of turnovers OR second chances from penalties.  Score!  I also said the Steelers would bring this game home with a clean second half (meaning: cutting down on mistakes). Score as well.  Missed on the score though.

 

Michael Hewitt: Forgive me for not being around BTSC the last week or so, have been on holiday! Anyways, I was still keeping an eye on all things NFL, and predicted the Steelers would beat the Cardinals 27-13 as I thought this would be a game where the Steelers would be able to take control early and finally complete the 60 minutes without any heart attacks. Very happy!

Bean: I don't think I went on the record anywhere last week with a prediction, but I'm not surprised that the Steelers played well and won. I am a bit surprised though that the Cardinals didn't play better on either side of the ball. I thought two weeks was plenty of time for Ken Whisenhunt to craft a dangerous game plan, but I was largely unimpressed by how the Cardinals attacked the Steelers in all phases.

 

How did you're predicted standouts for The Cardinals game do?

Webslasher81: on offense I had Hines and he did mediocre b/c of the ankle injury that he sustained took him out the rest of the game, on defense I had Ziggy and he did decent, all in all I am glad that we won. B/c you know how the Steelers play down to a shitty team and play up to a good team.

PixburghArn:  I predicted Brown would come up big on special teams.  It was just another day at the office for him on special teams, but he did come up big on offense.  I said Wallace would have a big 100+ game with one TD. Bingo....ok that wasn't a reach.  I also said it could very easily be Ben as well and Ben delivered.  I said on defense Woodley brings the wood and leaves splinters in Kolbs rear end.  Yeah, he left 2 big splinters in it. Two sacks and 2 points. Also, I was concerned with the O-line's injury situation and that didn't materialize in problems. Neither did my other concern which was Beanie Baby Wells.  He did get hurt though and Stephens-Howling got busy once for a long walk in the park.  Overall though, my concerns were a non factor. I guess that's why we won. 

Michael Hewitt: Errr...I picked a solid game for Mendenhall in the 80-90 yard mark. I thought the cohesion the entire offensive line and running backs showed last week would carry over into Arizona. Unfortunately it didn’t work out that way but hey, as long as you get the W, it doesn’t matter the means.

Bean: Again, not on record, but I thought the Steelers defense might struggle more than they ended up doing against Arizona. 5 sacks, 1 INT and a Safety? Not a bad day at the office. I thought Mike Wallace might make another big play on the fast track at Cardinals Stadium, but who would be so bold as to predict that he'd register the longest passing play in Steelers franchise history? Also liked Heath Miller to make a few plays, but when does he not find a way to have an impact? What's so great about this year's Steelers team is that there are so many guys who standout, not just a small collection of key contributors. That's a wonderful thing of course, but it does make this particular exercise difficult.

 

How about the predictions for the Patriots game?

Webslasher81: You know, I hate to say this but the Pats have our number…every year we have played them in the Brady era except the year we had the hardest schedule and beat both the Eagles and the Pats back to back (BB’s 2nd year) and the year Brady got injured. But we still lost to them in the AFCC, when it mattered most. Every year I hope and pray that when we play them either Woodley or Harrison destroys Brady AND EATS HIS JUGULAR! And this year is no different, I am sick of these blowhards that come out of the wood work to cheer on the Pats and now the Packers. I can’t stop hoping and praying we get this damn "Patriots monkey" OFF OF OUR BACK’S!!! Steelers 24 – Patsies 21.

PixburghArn:  I predict a shootout.  I also predict some uncharacteristic turnovers by Brady.  Tipped pass for an INT and strip fumble.  The Steelers make just enough plays to pull this one out.  Steelers 42 Patriots 31.

Michael Hewitt: No teams’ success annoys me more than the Patriots. Is it bitterness, resentment, jealously? Whatever it is, I can’t stand them. But you have to admit, they once again look to have a good football team. They are also all the more dangerous coming off a close win like last week. Was it a blueprint provided by the Cowboys? Who knows, but the way Big Ben played last week, and the struggles of the New England defense, I like our chances to be in this to win at Heinz. Steelers: 33 Patriots: 30.

Bean: If the Steelers turn the ball over just one time -- and preferably zero -- I think the Steelers will win. The Patriots have won three of the past four against the Steelers, and Tom Brady has lost to Pittsburgh just once in his career. So all signs should be pointing to New England being just fine so long as Brady receives even average pass protection. But I think this is the week that Pittsburgh proves how formidable they really are, even with all the injuries the team is dealing with across the roster. One other thing I'm expecting to see is Dick LeBeau forcing Brady to beat his unit with somebody other than his talented pair of tight ends -- Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. Gronkowski caught all three of Brady's TD receptions in New England's 39-26 win last November. He's a nightmare matchup for any team, but I don't see LeBeau allowing William Gay to be caught in unfavorable matchups with either Gronkowski or Hernandez too often.

 

How about the predicted standouts for the Patriots game?

Webslasher81: Young money shines again this week, "Fast" Mikey Wallace on offense (6 touches 134 yds 2 tds). And on defense I’m bringing the WOOD back, Woodley has been on fire the past 3 games and isn’t gonna let up in the wake of "Deebo’s" injury, (6 tackles 3 tfl, 2 sacks, 1 FF and recovery).

PixburghArn:  A. Brown takes one to the house on special teams.  On offense A. Brown 100+ with 2 TDs.  Heath Miller gets 2 as well.  On defense it will be hard because various individual efforts throughout the game will stand out.

Michael Hewitt: Anyone still bagging Lamarr Woodley now? It certainly looks like he is earning that contract the last few weeks and he is HOT. I don’t want to expect 2 sacks every game, but in this one he should grab at least one with a few big pressures (5 tackles, 2 tfl, 1 sack, multiple pressures). On offense, I like Manny Sanders to have a solid all around game (5 catches, 80 yards, 1 td), but we are going to need the best from Big Ben in this one as well, and I think he is fired up to continue his hot streak, I like him to go for 300+ yards and 2-3 touchdowns.

Bean: On offense, I'll take Emmanuel Sanders. I think the second-year WR will follow up on his best game of the season in Week 7 (5 receptions, 51 yards, 1 TD) with another good game against New England's susceptible defense. I believe Bruce Arians is going to start incorporating Sanders more and more now that defenses have been sufficiently buttered up by Wallace and Antonio Brown. On the other side of the ball, put me down for Lawrence Timmons. The stud inside linebacker continues to play very well most weeks, but surprisingly, he's yet to break through and really affect the outcome of a game with a big sack or turnover. I'm hoping he repeats his 2008 performance against the Pats by once again making a highlight reel play(s).

 

What concerns do you have this week?

Webslasher81: BA is getting on my nerves (one play in particular when on 3rd and 1, 13 seconds to go till halftime w/ one TO remaining we could of went to the end-zone not giving up any yds. But we ran it and lost a yard using our last TO and setting up Swish to kick 3 pt’s to make it a 17-7 game.) Things like this, as well as running it when Mendy doesn’t gain ground in which we should bomb it to AB or MW, as well as screen passes that work 50% of the time.

PixburghArn:  Like I said before last game we played these guys.  I am concerned with the tight-ends for the Pats. I am also concerned with Farrior and Foote having to cover backs out of the backfield. I will throw in the fact that Ben loses focus sometimes against the Pats. 

Michael Hewitt: It’s the Patriots. No matter how good we have looked in recent years, Brady always seems to have our number. Like Slash said, BA needs to have a consistent game. That probably won’t happen so I look to our defense. The Patriots spread us out last season and manhandled us with their rookie tight ends. My big concern is if we go all in to stop Welker that we leave mismatches of LBs on TEs. Our corners have been much improved this season, and we will need that to continue to avoid being shredded by the Pats. I do like our chances this time around

Bean: One big concern I have is Ben Roethlisberger forcing the issue early on in the game. I know Big Ben will want to have a showcase performance against Brady and the Pats, particularly after last year's debacle. Hopefully he just takes what's given to him, picks the appropriate times to take chances down field, and concentrates on getting the ball to his playmakers quickly and in a position where they can make New England's defense look like the B- group that it is.

Well this wraps up yet another epic HDM. Tune in next week chic’s and chumps, as your fearful twosome and the celeb pick o’ the week (TVsChachi) breakdown the "GAME OF THE WEEK" as we take on our hated rivals from Baltimore the Ravens @ the Ketchup bottle.

 

Welcome back to the HDM mixery folks…This week’s rant coming from the best in the biz (Arn and Slasha) should be a rather interesting one. Due to time constraints/miscommunication this edition will be another duo tirade (Sorry MINI/Mechem we will fit you guys in at another date.) Captain’s log; Star Date: 19 Oct 2011: "We have encountered this familiar territory before, the air thick with suck beyond the desert wasteland…Ahh, it smells like Cardinal country…" I am using a fabricated bit from Star Trek, with a twist…We are breaking down the Jags game from last week and what is in store for us when we face the Cards this Sunday, as well as the eye candy you need. Let’s get to it…

 

How about those predictions from the Jaguars game?

 

Webslasher81: I predicted a laugher 31-10 final…what I ended up with was heartburn and a real bad case of acid reflux. Although we won, I personally believe the defense once again saved us from going 3-3.

PixburghArn: I predicted a tough game and that the offense would struggle.  I was right about the second half. I predicted 17-10.  Ok I'm going to accept being right this time.  Though this was more another one of those let's just do enough to win games.

 

How did you're predicted standouts for The Jaguars game do?

Webslasher81: Wallace ended up having a good day, our offense looked great in the 1st half, but didn’t finish strong in the 2nd half and that is what worries me. BB overthrowing receivers has to stop; this game should have been a blow out. On D I had Ike, and although Ike gave up a td, I still think he played productive enough to show that Gabbert was a rookie on the run. The D as a whole got my head nod for stepping up when they did.

PixburghArn: Well I predicted Mendenhall would run like a madman and be the standout.  I would say he was.  I haven't checked his twitter account to see if he was blaming the FBI, but he looked pretty paranoid walking off the field.  What's that you say? He always looks like someone scared him?  You may be right.  On defense I said Heyward.  Yeah I can't get any props on that one, but let me take this moment to give Farrior some props.  Did he take Michael Jackson's Oxygen chamber?  Hee hee Shummonie  By the way I was concerned with Maurice Jones-Drew last week.  He was a problem, but like I said they let the Rook try to beat them.

 

How about the predictions for the Cardinals game?

 

Webslasher81: When playing a team that tries to mirror us, to an extent always has me scratching my head. Are we going to see an offense like we did against the Titans or an offense like we have seen against the Ravens…the same question goes for the D. The emotional rollercoaster the Steelers have had me on so far this year leaves me guessing every week…this week I’m flipping a coin; we win in an ugly slugfest with a desperate Cardinals team trying to do what they can to win (i.e. Colts). Steelers: 17 Cards: 13.

 

PixburghArn: I predict our special teams kill them.  I just feel a good special teams day.  The Cardinals defense will make it tough.  The Cardinals will score off of turnovers or second chances from penalties. Steelers bring this one home playing a clean game in the second half (cutting down on mistakes). Steelers 24 Cardinals 21.

 

 

 

How about the predicted standouts for the Cardinals game?

 

Webslasher81: I’m going out on a limb here, Hines Ward has been clutch in the past few games so I am going with him on offense (4 catches 66 yds 1 td), and on defense, Ziggy Hood will earn his paycheck, (5 tackles 2 tfl 1 sack 1 ff).

 

PixburghArn: Antonio Brown is going to come up big on special teams.  On offense Wallace will have a big day again 100+ and one of the TDs.  It could very easily be Ben though.  On defense Lamar Woodley brings the wood and leaves splinters in Kolb's rear end.

 

 

What concerns do you have this week?

Webslasher81: Since the o-line is stepping up somewhat, I’m lying off their case (other than effin injuries which I am irate about), I’m going with the BA/BB connection. It seems only right to bring this concern up b/c I honestly don’t know how each will fare going into every game. Don’t get me wrong when BB is up he is skyrockets in flight, but when he is down I blame BA and his bone-headed play calling…once again I’m at a crossroads. We need to get our shit together before our 2 biggest tests smack us in the face week(s) 8 and 9.

PixburghArn:  I'm concerned about the injuries on the O-line.  I'm also concerned that we may not take Beanie Wells very seriously.  He can cause some troubles.  I doubt he will but the possibility is definitely there.

Well this wraps up yet another edition of the HDM we hope you have enjoyed. Tune in next week when the Patsies come to the Ketchup Bottle, plus a special cameo appearance from the "SAUCE BOSS" himself, Mike Bean…

 

 

Welcome back Boys and Ghouls to the HDM mixery!!! With your faithful fearful twosome at the helm PixburghArn (a.k.a. Arnie) and your DJ, Dub Sleazy Ocho Uno keeping it hot on the one’s and two’s. This week’s celeb blogger 2 for 1 is:  Seton Hall and Steelers  and TVsCHACHI  give them a hand! With there help we will be breaking down the huge win against the Titans, and onto the present matchup against those Jacksonville Kitty-Cats! Plus the ever so lovely eye candy (boat loads) that gets each and every one of us out of bed on this great Wednesday…now let’s get to the HUMP!

 

How about those predictions from the Titans game?

 

Webslasher81: Very, very impressed…my prediction was Steelers 13-9 a tough grimy win. I was actually happy that BB had time to throw the ball and was only sacked ONCE!!!

 

PixburghArn: I said this game would be a win and everyone would still be down on them.  Well, I didn't really mean everyone, but yeah. What the heck I was only right about the win.

 

Seton Hall and Steelers: I predicted that we would win 27-10 and that CJ would have one big TD run but otherwise be shut down.  

 

TVsCHACHI: What up Yinz? Pleasure to be on the Bus.  I didn't make any predictions last week; however I'm terrible with numbers, but great with faces. 

 

How did you're predicted standouts for The Titans game do?

 

Webslasher81: I predicted that the whole team would stand out…and for a reason, it seemed that they were having fun out there like the Steelers of old, I was happy with the outcome.

 

PixburghArn: I said Brown on offense.  I was also thinking special teams, but on offense he wasn't the real standout.  I'd say I give it to Ben or even give Ward some on this one.  Just because.  The way he came out stood out.  On defense, I said Timmons.  I guess I figured if I say Timmons every week I'll be right at least once.  Saying Troy is too easy right now. 

 

Seton Hall and Steelers: On offense I said I said Ben would have 305 yards and 2TD. I also said Wallace would have 8 receptions for 137 yards and 1TD.  On defense I said Troy would have 7 tackles and and 1FF while Timmons would have 6 tackles, 2 sacks, and 1INT. Troy had a good day but Timmons did not. 

 

TVsCHACHI: For me, Keisel back in the mix was key, he is easily the best and most consistent DLineman out there and he makes those around him better.  With 99 we saw plays from Timmons, Hood, Heyward, and most importantly, LaMarr Woodley.  And Troy is the best Safety in the game.

 

 

How about the predictions for the Jaguars game?

 

Webslasher81: The Jags-offs don’t have the manpower to muscle around the Steelers

The Steelers, win in a laugher…31-10.

 

PixburghArn: I don't like this game.  Jags always play us tough.  Offense struggles again 17-10.

 

Seton Hall and Steelers: I think we win this one easy. The Jags only have one good player and if we shut down MJD it will be easy. I say 34-7 and its not even that close. 

 

 

TVsCHACHI: Dig it Yinz, Week 4 was an awakening.  It was very much a statement game.  The Defense is pissed and the Offense has the best lineup of skill talent since the 1970s, couple these factors and we have the potential for a Fun-Fest.  Steelers 31 Jags 3

 

 

How about the predicted standouts for the Jaguars game?

 

Webslasher81: On offense I got Mike Wallace…the dude is just plain sick nasty, the Jags "D" won’t be able to contain him. (5 touches 134 yds. 2 td’s), and on defense I got Ike Taylor, for some reason QB’s respect him out of fear by not throwing the ball in his direction, which in this case Gabbert being a bone-headed rookie will…(1 tfl, 1 pick.) It’s about time that "Can’t see me!!!" is getting the respect he deserves…

PixburghArn: I'm going to say Mendenhall is the standout.  He's going to be ticked off and run like a madman.  Then he's going to blame his struggles on the FBI.  On defense I think it will be Heyward.  Heyward gets his in this game.  Nice stat line and plenty of notice.  In Gabbert's face and pushing the line.

Seton Hall and Steelers: For offense I am going with Mike Wallace. The Jags dont have enough speed to cover him. I say 6 receptions, 129 yards, 2TDs. For defense, I say Troy Polamalu. He own rookie QBs and this will be no different. 5 tackles, 1 sack, 1FF, 1INT, and 3PD.  

TVsCHACHI: On Defense we will see more of Woodley, I expect another Sack or Two along with multiple hurries which lead to a pick by Troy.  On Offense, more underneath stuff to Heath and Hines which sets up the homerun to Wallace later in the game.  Hines gets another TD and shakes that ass.

 

What concerns do you have this week?

Webslasher81: The same concerns I have every week…they won’t change unless they start a trend of success.

PixburghArn: First I want to start off by saying, I told you the line would have a good game.  Go back and look at the last week's HDM.  Now my concern for this week is That little bowling ball with the number 32 on it.  You can't let him get off.  Let the rookie beat you.

Seton Hall and Steelers: My concern for this game is Maurice Jones Drew. I think he has the potential to have a few big runs but we should have seven in the box and limit him to under 100 yards. Also, another concern is our Special Teams blocking on punts and FGs. It is becoming a problem. 

TVsCHACHI: I second Slasher; we aren't out of the woods yet.  Having said that, I don't have too many concerns about this particular game, we're at home against a rook wet-behind-the-ear Gabbart etceteras.  My concerns are with OLine play on the road in the oft-mentioned 'hostile enviroment', but that is another story for another day. Go Steelers.

Well this wraps up another classic HDM. Tune in next week faithful followers of the HUMP, as the 2 Musketeers and the celeb pick o’ the week, break down the Steelers West a.k.a. the Cards, when we go take ‘em on in that crazy Arizona heat!

 

Ladies and germs welcome back to the HDM, if you don’t know what Jack Daniels custom sauce is other than paying homage to Tennessee’s fine whiskey, then I expect most of you to you-tube "Epic Meal Time" it will change the way you eat forever…with that being said. Arn and I will be doing the evaluation of the Texans game and line up for the Titans game solo this week due to time constraints. But don’t fret dear followers of the hump, we still have the things you want and need to get you through the middle of the week. Frustration is what has been brewing up the past few weeks and it’s near the peak…let’s get to it!!!

 

Webslasher81: EDITOR’S NOTE: Is it just me or has there been a trend with Steelers teams lying down after they play in a super bowl (win/lose). I just don’t understand the concept of how after reaching the pinnacle one year and winning/losing, the focus is basically "we just don’t care?" attitude the next year with the subpar playing. Saying and doing are two different things, a lot has been "said", but the "doing" part has been practically non-existent. What is motivation to you? I know that if I had an "ounce" of talent that our players have I would give it my all…where’s the fire, the brimstone, the emptiness in the stomach that can only be filled by another Lombardi? I leave it to you faithful followers to give me an idea…For which I have none, I am not writing off the Steelers, b/c I know we can turn it around. But this has to stop…Because: WE ARE THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!! And losing is not an option. Anybody see Mechem? I need some intense hate right now…lol.

 

PixburghArn: EDITOR’S NOTE 2:  Right now this thing is getting to a critical point.  The team has not jelled and they are not crisp.  It seems almost as if they are not preparing mentally.  It's almost like they are thinking too much and not reacting enough.  If you don't have the game in your head already you won't play it on the field.  I'm sure somebody just felt what I said.  If you've played any level of sports you know what it's like to play the game as opposed to the game playing you.  The difference between executing on the field from what you've programmed instead of figuring it all out on the fly.  Come on.  Hear what I'm saying. Now why do I think it's getting to critical?  Because you can't just turn this on and the further you get in the season the harder it is to win the close ones.  If you work through the struggles in the beginning and stay close then you don't need all the breaks at the end of the season.  If you get in a hole then you have no choice but to run the table.  Sure you want to peak going into the playoffs and sometimes the playoff type games late in the year get you prepared going in, but you can't depend on that because you can peak, yet someone get a fluke win and knock you out. 

 

How about those predictions from the Texans game?

 

Webslasher81:  I predicted that the Steelers would win 20-17. It seemed that it would be going that way since we controlled most of the second half, but alas it wasn’t so…and my TV felt the wrath of my frustration…

PixburghArn:  I predicted that they would play inspired but it would not be enough.  I think I was right.  Now if you looked at some aspects of the game you could disagree.

 

How did you're predicted standouts for The Texans game do?

 

Webslasher81: The "young money" crew was on point (whenever BB had time to throw which has been almost never in the first 4 games.) and Troy looked pretty pissed throughout the entire 2nd half and did what he could to make things right.

PixburghArn: I said Antonio Brown on offense....I guess I could be right-ish.  What's not to love about this guy?  I know you'll tell me.  On defense I whiffed....Timmons.  By the way, anyone else want to defend Mendenhall's style against the defenses we are facing?  How about someone pull out some high school video, I'm just kidding don't take it personal.

 

How about the predictions for the Titans game?

 

Webslasher81: I predict that the offensive line will still struggle and whomever is behind them (if BB doesn’t play) will get decimated, but we win I don’t know how but we do, b/c Hasselback isn’t the "savior" the Titans think he is…Steelers  13 – Titans 9

PixburghArn:  I predict that this team will scrap this one out.  They will go back to the old win ugly days.  This will be a game that we win and everyone will still be down on them.  20-13 Steelers.

 

How about the predicted standouts for the Titans game?

 

Webslasher81: The standouts won’t be professed by an individual person; rather the whole team will scrape out a win gritty, dirty, and ugly. Just the way we like it…

PixburghArn: I'm pretty much going along with DJ Dub Sleezy Ocho Uno on this one.  But I will name a couple of players.  Antonio Brown again…I think Brown gets both TDs in this game.  Maybe even one on special teams, On defense Timmons takes on a new role, comes out and cranks up the sacks.

 

What concerns do you have this week?

 

Webslasher81: Bruce Arians…can somebody please give him the pink slip. I no longer will tax the o-line for their discrepancies b/c it’s like beating a dead horse and Sean Kugler is doing his best. But anytime on 3rd down you believe in your right mind a screen play will work, it won’t. It blows my mind apart why this guy is still our OC…

PixburghArn:  My concern is Johnson screwing the defense.  I am going to say the line has a good game.  Not a great game, not even a really good game, but a good game.  I am concerned that the defense may be on the field too much and it will cost them the game.  Also translated, the offense won't score enough.

Well this wraps up another feisty, frustrated, and fruitiful Hump Day Mixer. Tune in next week when Arn, myself, and the celeb pick o’ the week breakdown the Kittens from Jacksonville when we square off the tail end of the AFC South at the Ketchup Bottle…

 

Hello once again boys and girls to the star studded Hump Day Mixer. Arn is back from a crazy time in Detroit, and for this week’s chapter were taking on the other team from Texas not named Dallas…Houston. We also brought back for the celeb pick PCISteeler (Since his birthday was yesterday and he is my brudda from another mudda, I wanted to give him another crack at the HUMP. Lol.) Give him a hand!!! Now to the breakdown of the week and the lovely eye-candy enjoy faithful followers like we know you will…

 

How about those predictions from the Colts game?

Webslasher81: Yeah not the way I wanted it to turn out (Steelers 31-10) but a win is a win no matter how ugly the outcome.

PixburghArn: I predicted that we would win. Ok what do I win?  Seriously though, I don't know what I would have predicted.  I was in Detroit thinking I was in Saudi Arabia.....

 PCISteeler: I predicted a blowout and was I wrong. Credit to the Colts defense for keeping them in the game. But style points do not matter, and we won the game, so on to the next one...Houston.

How did you're predicted standouts for The Colts game do?

Webslasher81: Both Rush-Hard and Wood, had mediocre games. The offense had sparks (minus the setbacks of the O-Line), The defense looked like the defense of old, (which saved our asses multiple times). Deebo's strip sack fumble into the arms of Taz was amazing. It still behooves me how we only have 1 turnover in the past 3 games.

PixburghArn:  I was going to predict Wallace on Offense and Deebo on defense.  Wallace was a huge bright spot and Deebo could make a case though I would lean toward Troy.

 PCISteeler: My standout was Troy. He reminds me of a player in Madden in easy. When you can have a defensive player with speed and you can put him on the edge and blitz all day. You are either going to get a sack or a TFL. He is back people!

How about the predictions for the Texans game?

Webslasher81: Tough game ahead, again on the road. I believe we will shine, it won't be pretty (like Brady/Beiber's hair) but we will get the job done.Steelers 20 - Steers: 17.

PixburghArn:  I am going to do something I almost never do.  I am going to say we play inspired but it's not enough.  I won't give any score because I can't bring myself to do that, but you know what I'm sayin.....

 PCISteeler: Very tough game. Houston seems to be everyone's darling team. We win, Steelers 26 - Houston 24

How about the predicted standouts for the Texans game?

Webslasher81: Polamalu was on fire, and I don't expect him to let up I have him on "D" (1 sack, 1 pick, 7 TFL), and on "O" The entire "Young Money" crew will be on point. Wallace for his 4th 100+ yard game and 1 TD.

PixburghArn:  I am going to say that the standout on offense will be Antonio Brown.  Even with Wallace going over 100 yards again (another prediction of mine) Brown will be the real standout making huge plays.  On defense I am going to say this is the week Timmons makes big plays....though I predict Farrior/Foote will get plenty of chances. But will they seize it?  That's the question.

 PCISteeler: Timmons. He had a hot start last year. Our defense needs him to catch fire. Troy is back, Harrison is slowly but at right timing gettin hot and Ike is shutting it down. We are going to need Timmons in the next weeks as we will be going against some talented TE's. On Offense i believe its Ben. Throw the ball out please. We would like to see at least 5 more years of you playing.

What concerns do you have this week?

Webslasher81: As always the O-line and the secondary.

PixburghArn:  I could stick this one on the O-line again, but I think they will be better than last week.  My concerns are Andre Johnson and the Texans offense.  The offense should be able to eat.  I just hope they don't use butter...if you know what I mean.

  PCISteeler: As stated the OLine. And Mendenhall. I want to see him hit the hole harder (TWSS)!

Cheerleader of the week:

Webslasher81: Sticking to the old ways of how Arnie likes it.(using cheerleaders from the teams were playing, lol.) I present to you, my future wife: Erica.

Well ladies and gents this wraps up another tasty morsel of the HDM. Tune in for next week’s tirade when we take on the Titans, at the Ketchup Bottle…

 

Hello once again boys and girls from the Dungeon of the NFL offices (reference to Roger Goodell putting myself and Arn here lol j/k.). Arn is currently out of office/town, and I have had WV fill in for him in his absence (for which I know he has done awesome before on the Ravens write-up so I had him come back for more.). This week we cover the "Ponies" and bring to our HDM faithful lovelier eye candy. Our celebrity writer of the week is known to many as Johnny_S but since I joined I have dubbed him Johnny "Ringo". Give him a hand!!! Now let’s get to the HUMP!

How about those predictions from the Seahawks game?

 

Webslasher81: As I stated I said it would be a blow out 28 - 3 Steelers, and

the Steelers didn't disappoint me, 24 - 0, I will take that score any day of

the week.

 

Johnny_S: My guess was 24-16.  I got out score write, but I was way off on

their score.  Please don't tell Deebo.  I like my life.  I like living.

 

WVPiratesfan: I did not give our defense enough credit. I was thinking it was going to be 35-3, and then they went and pitched a shutout.

 

How did you're predicted standouts for the Seahawks game do?

 

Webslasher81: I predicted that Mike Tomlin would gear our boys up to take

down the opposition, and I believe his tactics haven't deterred from my

prediction.

 

Johnny_S: I didn't predict any.  I would have gone with Wallace though.  Kid

is a beast and I don't see him letting up any time soon.  Teams are so

worried about him getting behind the defense that he is eating them up on

short comeback routes.  He should have been around 160+ if he had not gotten

PI'd on that one series.

 

WVPF: I didn't pick anyone since I wasn't involved last week. But I think if I had it would've been Ben. I don't know what it is going to take to get refs to flag defenders diving at his legs but it is getting to be absurd at this point.

 

How about the predictions for the Colts game?

 

Webslasher81: Let's see. The Colt's are Manning-less once again this week,

their offense is quite sorry. Their defense isn't much to brag about either.

The critics still won't be shut up until we beat Houston next week, I'm

going out on a limb here, Steelers: 31 - Colts: 10.

 

Johnny_S: Complete and utter domination.  This one could be really

embarrassing for the Colts.  Their OT situation is awful and our pass rush

will have a big day.  I'm looking at 28 – 6 Steelers.

 

WVPF: Peyton Manning-less colts aren't going to know what hit them. 31-6

 

Who is going to be the predicted standouts for the Colts game?

 

Webslasher81: I will say that on offense that Rush-Hard has a big day (18

touches 113 yds, and 2 td's). On defense Woodley will bring the lumber, (7

tackles, 3 TFL, and 2 sacks).

 

Johnny_S: Expect big days from Woodley and Harrison.  I wouldn't be shocked

if they had 2 sacks a piece.  Also, I like Wallace to have another hundo and

a TD.  Ben will be methodical and precise but not have flashy numbers.

 

WVPF: Standouts in this game. I can't pick just one on both sides of the ball, but I shall go with Marcus Gilbert passing his first real test against an actual DE in Robert Mathis. On the defensive side of the ball, pick someone and Kerry Collins will make them look good this week.

 

What concerns do you have this week?

 

Webslasher81: The same concerns I have every week so far, the secondary and

the o-line. These won't change unless the proper adjustments are made

accordingly.

 

Johnny_S: Their pass rush against our rookie RT.   Gilbert gave up a sack

and a pressure last week, but faces a much better rusher in Robert Mathis

this week.  Mathis is about the only player that hasn't been awful on the

Colts team, defensively.

 

WVPF: The refs if they refuse to call defenders lunging at Ben knee's Tomlin may be giving them an ear-full and then some when he gets a chance. On defense, it has to be Kerry Collins well being, this offense is lost with Peyton calling the plays and then add to the equation coach Dad's blitzes coming from everywhere, this could end poorly for Mr. Collins.

 

Cheerleader of the week:

 

Webslasher81: So much eye candy, so little time. This week's cheerleader

comes from the Mile High State, give her a salute meet: Whitney

Well ladies and germs this wraps up another crazy, yet fun HDM edition. I hope you have all enjoyed, tune in next week to find out how Arn, myself, and the celeb pick breakdown those upstart Texans when we take them on in their house @ Reliant Stadium.

 Well boys and girls, I know I can speak for our HDM faithful when I say that even though we lost to the Ravens on "jaw gaping" craziness, I tip my hat to them in their win (I’m looking at you Malor…lol.) when I say this. For which a rivalry isn’t a rivalry w/o knowing when to be grateful when you win, and humble when you lose. Now that I’m off the "soap box" This week’s HDM is brought to you by myself (DJ-Dub-Sleazy), and the infamous Czar of Mad Dog 20/20 selections Arn. This week’s breakdown is about the Seattle Seahawks and how to overcome what went wrong in last week’s loss (and of course the eye candy d’oh!). As well as the HDM celebrity writer(s) of the week: PCIsteeler, and Mr. MaLoR (Different viewpoint).  They are on the chopping block, give them a hand!!! Once again I would like to thank Mr. Bean for giving us the opportunity to have this poast trudging along for its 2nd season and the BTSC faithful followers in which we have all the love in the world for…enjoy!

How about those predictions from the Ravens game?

Webslasher81: Not even close, I predicted that it would be a tight game 13-10 Steelers win. Thanks to 7 turnovers I was sorely mistaken…It makes me a little sick even writing about this right now.

PixburghArn:  Don't even ask.  Oh wait you did.  Next question…

PCISteeler: I predicted a defensive game. 1 defense showed up and it wasnt ours.

Mr MaLoR: My prediction was actually only off by a total of 6 points. All throughout the week prior to Sunday, I was telling people Baltimore would win 38-10. Not sure why I was expecting a blowout, but my hunch was obviously correct "My other ball finally dropped.".

 How did you’re predicted standouts for The Ravens game do?

Webslasher81: I predicted that Wallace on offense and Woodley on defense would shine…yeah well, (sigh) Wallace had a mediocre day and so did Woodley. Why am I so aggravated writing right now…maybe because everybody in my work space has talked smack to me up until this point.

PixburghArn: I said Hines Ward.  He did "some things" but hey I give it to you. I think Wallace was a standout on offense.  I said Timmons on defense. Though Ike was the true standout, Timmons had a few more ups than downs in my opinion. 

PCIsteeler:  My standouts were Wallace and Ward with 1 TD catch each. Troy was going to be my defensive star.  Our team played uninspired so it’s hard to tell who the standout in the game was. I'll give to Sanders for the TD reception.

Mr MaLoR: Flacco, Leach and Suggs all lived up to how I believed they would perform. Joe was perfect, could not have asked for more. Leach was everything I expected, it was nice to see some of your players curl up into a ball instead of taking on his blocks. And Suggs, don't even need to explain him. He is the best OLB in this division now and Sunday proved that. As Suggs stated, "Ben's sweet buttocks is his."

How about the predictions from the Seahawks game?

Webslasher81: 2 words: "Blow out"…Steelers 28 – Seagullz 3.

PixburghArn:  I predict a close game. Steelers 35 - Seahawks 24.  Ha ha, yeah...That’s close.

PCIsteeler: I believe this game will be entertaining. I dont want to take away anything from the Seahawks. They are professional football players, and anything can happen any given sunday. But the Steelers are obviously the more experienced team, and I hate it for them that they have to play us the week after the Ravens. Steelers 42- Seahawks 17

Mr MaLoR: This will be the "This game the Steelers won't get beat like I beat meat after Sunday's game."  revenge game. Steelers 31 - Seamonkeys 6. Just don't run up the score and be classless like the Ravens, being up 22 points with nearly 30 minutes left to play is enough room to start kneeling the ball like Baltimore should have on Sunday.

Who is going to be the predicted standouts for The Seahawks game?

Webslasher81: I’m going with Mike Tomlin, putting a fire underneath the Steelers asses to come out and destroy every player they see not wearing Black and Gold.  I’m picking him for both offense and defense.

PixburghArn:  My standout is going to be Troy.  I think he refocuses and comes out with a big game.  On offense I think Mendenhall gets his. 

PCIsteeler: Since Slasher said Mike Tomlin I will go with Coach Dad. I wouldnt want to be in the film room this week with him, actually I would. The defense will NOT underpreform again this year. I would like to see our air assault get off the ground this week too.

Mr MaLoR: Wallace will shred their secondary for 163 yards. Mendenhall has 125 yards and 2 TD's (have him on 2 of 5 fantasy teams because Ravens fans refuse to take him before the first 10 picks) and Timmons shows why I believe he is the 2nd best, but "honestly the best ILB"  in the game.  

 What concerns do you have this week?

Webslasher81: B-Mac and Gay are (fill in the blank)…Mr. Rooney please inform Mr. Tomlin not to start either of them, get the rookies and K. Lewis some face time. Since the injury to Colon, (which already makes a dismal o-line even worse…) I expect a little bit of the same with "gelling" issues that plagued the o-line last week in Baltimore.  My other concern is Ben, Ben…please don’t force anymore throw’s or get rushed to do something drastic, take a sack… or throw the dang ball away.

PixburghArn:  Well first of all, I want to remind you that my concerns fromlast week were legitimate: Turnovers and line play.  This week my concernsare letting the Seahawks stay in the game.  We need to make them onedimensional quickly.  

PCIsteeler:  I will be beating a dead horse if I say Willie Gay, so for worldtrip's sake I won't. My concern is our linebacking corps. Can they hold up in this heat. I am not a big fan of replacing Farrior with Foote. I want to see more of Sylvester, Carter and Worilds. 

Mr MaLoR:  I have 2 concerns one is: That you get back to Steelers football and overtake us making us have to beat you twice in your stadium to get to the Super Bowl.And the other concern…the real truth, is:"I didn't have any standouts predicted because I was scared."

 

Cheerleader of the week:

Well my friends this wraps up another crazy HDM, tune in next week when we have yet another celebrity standout that helps myself and Arnie with eye candy and the breakdown of the regular season week: 3, when we take on the Indy Colts Sunday night @ Lucas Oil Field…

via 1.bp.blogspot.com

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the time is now! I am proud to present to you the first official HDM of the season 2011- 2.0. This year expect a twist, celebrity writers (i.e. PCI, Chachi, WV, 6, Johnny Ringo, Steel Spike Arn’s "challenge winner" and Mini just to name a few) will join Arn and I to give you the lowdown of what to come each week, as well as give you the eye candy that you expect... Our first celeb on the chopping block is WV, give him a hand!!! Enjoy our faithful followers of BTSC and as always we thank you for your continued support.

Webslasher81: Well this has been a rather boring off season for me to say the least, I have been in NFL "limbo" as you might call it waiting to get my fix for fall weather and the quest for 7, and getting rid of a almost disastrous summer (i.e. NFL lockout), now that the SB hangover is done I want redemption. Since as you all know revenge is a dish better to be served cold.

PixburghArn: I'm still in a funk. My car broke down so I couldn't do any Driveby’s. I think the guns are getting rusty. We have to make sure we get Steel Spike in. he won my challenge I had during the long drawn out off season. We actually have official spokes models of BTSC now. Our BTSC Official Lady of Science Fiction is Kate Beckinsale. She won in a landslide. Our Official Lady of Comedy is Mila Kunis. She was behind Stacey Dash until she promised to date a Marine and got sympathy votes. Therefore, you heard it here first. Stacey Dash is PixburghArn's Official Spokeswoman. When I go on Driveby’s she packs the trunk.

WVPiratesFan: This is first summer in quite some time that didn't drag on for me, I chaulk this up to the Pirates return to respectability. Now that it's football season and the NHL getting ready to start back up I'm ready for it to winter.

How about the predictions from the Ravens game?

Webslasher81: Well first and foremost this game is going to be brutal. For the first game of the season it’s going to be a hellacious bloodbath. The road to the Super-bowl begins now, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Since the inception of the Ravens, versing the Steelers this has been the most intense and the best rivalry in football. Classic smash mouth tendencies to set the tone of the 2011 season, I believe as always the this will be a defensive battle...casualties will be all over the field of glory, I call it as I see it. Steelers 13 – Ravens 10.

PixburghArn: You know....I hate this game being so early in the season. I also hate the Ravens. But I don't hate to say that we win this game on a controversial call in the 4th quarter. Both defense have lapses. The Steelers early and the Ravens in the second half. A crucial turnover in Steelers territory ends any real threat the Ravens have in the second half and the Steelers hold on to win 23-16.

WVPiratesfan: After seeing the last Ravens-Steelers match up in person I came away with one thing. Joe Flacco for some reason is afraid to stretch the Steelers defense, but instead opts to check it down to Ray Rice, his FB or a TE out in the flat. This prompted me to nickname him Capt. Checkdown. This time around I expect more of the same and Ben continuing to torch the Ravens secondary. Steelers 21 Ravens 10

Who is going to be the predicted standouts for The Ravens game?

Webslasher81: The instruments of demise for the Ravens will still continue, crucial turnovers at the games most pivotal points will put to rest at least for the first outing. On Offense: watch for Mike "Flash" Wallace to explode all over the Ravens secondary (6 grabs 118 yds. 1 TD) and on Defense: Woodley will shine, (12 tackles, 3 TFL, 2 sacks).

PixburghArn: On offense my standout is Hines Ward. A late Touchdown from Ward seals the deal. Ward 4 catches for 95 yards and 1 TD. On defense my standout is Lawrence Timmons. Lawrence Timmons with 3 PD, 1 sack and an INT.

WVPiratesfan: My standout on defense for this game is going to be one Lawerence Timmons. Due to Flacco propensity to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible so Woodley or Harrison don't break him in half, LT is going to have plenty of chances to make big plays to turn those short throws into short completions. On the offensive side of the ball I'm taking Antonio "Dahn Tahn" Brown, I'm not sure who the Ravens nickle corner is but Dahn Tahn is going to be making him look foolish all day

remove the snow and imagine it's in M&T Bank Stadium.

What concerns do you have this week?

Webslasher81: As always, I believe the secondary (i.e. McFadden and Gay) will give up chunks of yards, giving in for Tomlin to pull necessities and bring in K. Lewis to make the proper adjustments. As well as the O-line, listen we know the Ravens, and we know how they love to try and fluster BB. Pouncey and co. Will have to make time for BB to move the ball around effectively, w/o him getting destroyed, (i.e. reference to Ngata breaking BB’s nose etc...).

PixburghArn: Turnovers concern me. The main source being fumbles. I mean fumbles from anyone. I'm not basing this on precedence or anything but just a feeling I have. As always I'm concerned on how well these guys are going to protect Ben. I don't want to see the ball on the ground or a bloody Big Ben. I'm also worried Flacco might cause rug burn from those eyebrows when someone sacks him.

WVPiratesfan: Has to be the offensive line. Terrell Suggs has made Jon Scott look like a revolving door everytime he has been matched up against him. I don't really have any concerns about the defense orther than if Joe Flacco will get his unibrow knocked off finally.

Cheerleader of the week:

Webslasher81: I don’t know if she is actually a NFL cheerleader but she and her friend are sure nice to look at...

Well folks it’s that time again…you guessed it the HDM mixery, with your hosts Arn and Slash…I hope everybody’s pro-bowl week went well. This week’s edition we will the dynamic duo will be tee’ing off on the "Cheese heads" of Green Bay…To all the faithful followers at BTSC that has been with us since the beginning of this mix I commend you all…let’s get to the showdown in the big "D"!

 

PixburghArn:  Well that was a long week.  Looks like an ice storm is going to mess this week up.  The Bengal fans in the area continue to talk crap about what’s going to happen.  I tell them, life must suck for you to go through this cycle: Talk crap in April about your draft, talk crap in July about how awesome your team is going to be, talk crap after your first win, talk crap about other teams that are going to the playoffs and you’re not, talk crap about what could have been,  talk crap about next year."  Anyhow this isn’t about them.

 Webslasher81: I agree Arnie…a long week indeed…depending on the weather I will be heading down to Dallas tomorrow night, then it will be a booze filled festival that will put me back some years and put my liver into a coma…lol. Anywho, your getting the lowdown from the Bungels, I am getting it here from the Donkey fans! All I say everyday when they start up with their hater-ade, is wow you went from boy wonder McDaniels to John Fox…you guys must really love the basement…that tends to shut them up for at least an hour or so…

Predictions for the Super Bowl:

 

PixburghArn:  Well first off I predicted right last week that there would be much Super Bowl coverage.  Ha!  For the Super Bowl, I predict the Steelers try to get some favorable one on one matchups with the young bucks on a nickel or corner.  Hines and Heath should have plenty of opportunities.  The Steelers will try a max protect play action deep throw early.  On defense the Steelers will mix pressure on the edges and blitzes in the middle with outside linebackers dropping into slant zones making Rogers have to think and hold the ball longer.  This should make for some turnover opportunities.  Final score 33-27 Steelers.

Webslasher81: Something about this Super Bowl makes me think this is going to be an EPIC win for us. I’ll admit and say that their defense is tough, but our defense is seasoned, their defense is young or younger, but our defense has been to this dance twice already…we know what is at stake here. Our vets will fluster Rodgers, stomp out the run game and make GB one dimensional. We take # 7 with the score, Steelers 28 – Cheese fudgers 23.

Standouts for the Super Bowl:

 

PixburghArn:  First off my standout for the last week was Pouncey.  Ha! I just hate the news it brought though.  My predicted standouts for the Super Bowl are as follows.  On offense, Ben will get his due.  Ben will win this not by just shear stats, but by the big plays he generates in this game. He will be Super Bowl MVP.  On defense the player of the game will be James Harrison.  Deebo will come up with 2 sacks an INT and a forced fumble.  I had a vision of Troy Polamalu being the defensive standout and Super Bowl MVP, but I am going with what I was thinking since the day after the AFC Championship.

 Webslasher81: I believe the standout on offense will be Mike Wallace, "Flash" will have a big day 7 rec 144 yds 2 tds. Big enough for him to take home MVP honors, I know BB will have a better game than he did against the Jets, but Wallace will shine. On "D" I’m going with the "Wolverine" to take the cake and smash Rodgers, 5 tfl 2 sacks, 1 fumble, 2 passes deflected.

Cheerleader hostesses of the week:

 

PixburghArn:  I am choosing my hostesses by taking them from the Super Bowls we have won.  First on my list is this lovely lady from the Minnesota Vikings.  This was the first Super Bowl we won.  Don’t be fooled.  That’s not a flag it’s a terrible towel.  J

 International hostess:

 

PixburghArn: She’s national and not international. But since we are going all the way to North Texas hoping to get crowned, I am please to present to you a beauty that was crowned in the same state.  The lovely Miss Texas from 2009 Brooke Daniels.  Yeeeeehaaaawww!

 

 

Webslasher81: You’re going national Arnie…so will I, meet Ms. Pennsylvania… "Black and Gold’s" very own…the scrumptious Alexis Lauren.

 

 

 

Well that’s it kids…the last HDM football edition until the draft in April…hopefully Arn, 6, and I have entertained you with our ESPNage…don’t fret faithful followers of the hump, we will be back next week for our very own non-football but will be football related HDM…have fun at the parties this Sunday and LET’S GOOOOOO STEELERS!!! Bring home the Lombardi!!!

 

Well it’s that favorite time of the week…Ladies and Gents, "Hump Day"! As always faithful followers of the HDM mixery, Arnie slamma jamma and yours truly DJ Dub Sleazy give you what you want…the breakdown of the little green monsters, the eye candy and what to look forward to for this week’s media "Dog and Pony" show…now let’s get to the jump shall we?

 

PixburghArn:  Man did I sleep well last night.  After I could calm down enough to go to sleep of course.  It’s almost surreal that we are in the big game again.  I guess it’s sort of because of the way the season started.  Anyhow, it won’t be a rough 2 weeks for me because I’m going to be busy.  It’s great to be here again and beat such a mouthy opponent.

Webslasher81: Give me a minute…this is all I need…I would first like to start off by saying that I didn’t spend watching the AFCC in the bar…I had and still have a cold/and a upper respiratory infection, I spent about 80% of the game in a Nyquil self induced coma…lapsing in and out of consciousness. From what I did see the final 20% was pure hallucination or was it? Were back in the big dance and I love every minute of it…is it just me or did the NFL cheapen the AFCC trophy? I don’t care I guess…but all I want is that damn Lombardi.

 

How about those predictions from the AFC Championship game?

 

PixburghArn: Ok I predicted the Jets would try to run the ball all day even if not successful.  They did.  I said they would try to loosen the defense up by throwing deep to Edwards.  They did.  Then again these are really no brainers if you pay any attention to the Jets.  I said the offense would be wide open and that Miller and the speed would be too much for the Jets.  Turns out Rush-Hard was too much for them.  I also said it wouldn’t be close in the end.  I still feel it shouldn’t have been but hey what can I say?  I said it would be 31-10.  For a long time in this game, this is where it was headed.

 Webslasher81: I predicted that the game would be a blowout 20-7, it was, up until the end of the 3rd quarter when the J-E-T-S decided to try and "man" up. Mixed in we played a little "softer" on defense knowing we had the game wrapped up, I didn’t like that. (I saw the replay coverage ala Hulu while at home today.) For one reason only if we have a lead like this against Green Bay we need to hit them harder and deeper where it hurts so that we don’t have another scare like we did in SB XLIII (not to say I was scared we had plenty of time on the clock and pulled it out in the end, you know what I mean though guys lol!). I said BB would have a big game and the "D" would step up, numbers don’t lie…were a whole different breed when it comes to the playoffs…and I love every minute of it. I feel Coach Dad will have something worked up for the Packers when it’s all said and done…

Predictions for this week?

 

PixburghArn: I predict lots of Super Bowl coverage for the Steelers.

Webslasher81: I predict that as well Arnie, also how the media will try and play the suck up role to BB and his off the field b/s. I also predict that the AFC will beat the NFC 20-19 not that it really matters…Side note: another prediction, I feel that Mendy will be "humping" his way onto the dance floor this whole week (minus the booze) at the Dallas night clubs lol! (Thanks Arn for the video…I laughed so hard…b/c I missed it the first time…I literally coughed up a lung!)

What about those predicted standouts from last week?

 

PixburghArn: I said Farrior would come up big.  I don’t know if you could say he was a standout, but he did have some big plays and hits. My other standout wasn’t close.  I said Sanders would come up big.  If Ben throws the ball a little further and less to the middle of the field, I would have something to stand on.  Rush-Hard was the man by far though.

Webslasher81: I said that Taz and Wood would combo sack Sancheez’s lunch, and although they didn’t do as I predicted (as much stats guys lol!), I feel that they and the rest of the "D" played a awesome game. I also said that BB would be a stud against the J-E-R-K-S, well although he threw two picks, I was one yard off from his rushing total. The stats were quite underestimating when it came to QB rating (what was it like 33 or 35%) BB was BB "clutch’ as usual, and I would expect nothing less of the big man that I am always proud to call my QB.

Predicted Standouts for this week?

 

PixburghArn:  Pouncey will be the standout.  Everyone is going to be wondering what’s going on with him. 

Webslasher81: I agree Arn, but then again I don’t question this kid’s toughness he will take a few pointers out of Hines’s playbook and make a speedy recovery… 

Random Thoughts: 

PixburghArn: I said this before but I want to remind you all.  For Christmas I got a $50 Dick’s Sporting Goods gift certificate.  The last time I got one of those was Christmas 2008.  When I got it I immediately said I am going to save this to buy a Super Bowl Champs shirt and hat.  I was tempted to buy things in the meantime.  I almost bought an AFC Champions hat with it, but I held out.  Back to this Christmas.  When I opened the card and saw it I said we are going to win the Super Bowl.  I am going to use this for the shirt and hat again.  It’s still in my wallet and I’m not buying an AFC Champions hat with it.

Webslasher81: That’s awesome Arn! I think Keisel’s beard has a can of Chuck Norris whoop-ass ready to pop off against the Packers. That beard is beautiful…I wish I could grow one…I would pay $100.00 dollars to have a lock sent to me so I can make a sweet necklace out of it! Mr. Bean can we please start up a Keisel beard "Locks that Rocks" donation fund for BTSC? Lol.

Cheerleaders of the week:

 

PixburghArn:  I always give my friends from the redskins a shout when I can.  So I give you my girl Anna.

And I want to give a shout out to the squad I’ve grown to love almost as much as the Skins’ squad. Don’t know her name but she has a nice smile.

Webslasher81: You get me everytime Arn…you got that "Swag" my man…well since Arnie gave you 2, I’ll give you 2…I’m a sucker for those girls down in FLA. Here once again is Tampa Bay’s very own…Lisa, Ashlee, and Nikki…a lovely trifecta.

And, here is one more from Miami…meet, Kristi…

International hostess of the week:

 

PixburghArn:  I am truly international.  Y’all need to recognize.  Back in my very early drinking days I used to drink a girly drink called "Singapore Sling".  Now let me introduce my lovely girlie Pilar Arlando from Singapore.

Webslasher81: Arn once again you are a master of the craft…amazing! Well I’m off to Greece…here is the lovely…Miss Greece Ria Antoniou.

via www.enimerosi24.gr

Well kids this wraps up another HDM hizzy house mix…I hope you all have enjoyed, stay tuned faithful followers of the Hump, when Arn, myself and 6 (in spirit…get back to us brudda!) Break down our stairway to "7" mix against the Packers of Green Bay…

 

Hello again ladies and gentlemen, for another round of the Hump Day Mixery. I am glad faithful followers of the hump that we ended the Ravens hopes as I knew we would. Of course your favorite dynamic duo Arn and I, Websleazy (and 6 in spirit…I already dumped a 40 oz for ya brudda! Lol.) will be breaking down our latest win against "The Wire" and onto our upcoming round 2 match in the AFCC with Jabba’s J-E-T-S. Let’s all fly to Dallas together friends…lift off for the dish served cold in 3…2…1…jump!

 

PixburghArn:  I’m glad I decided to go.  If I would have sold those tickets I would have been really mad.  The boys redeemed themselves from my last disappointing trip to see them lose to these stinkin ratbirds.  Now I am awaiting word as to whether I’m going to have tickets for the AFC Championship.

 Webslasher81: I spent my divisional round of glory at a local pub with the "Dude" called the Triple Nickel. It was a great night to say the least, the place was jammed packed, and the nectar of the Gods was flowing like Niagra. It was a great day to be a Steeler fan.

How about those predictions from the Ravens game?

 

PixburghArn: I predicted this would be a tough game and that the young bucks would have a coming out.  I said that Brown and Sanders would make key plays.  Hmmm did I get that right?  I said they would get Wallace or Sanders one on one with a CB and test them deep a few times.  I also said the crafty veteran would find a way to make a huge play.  I said a late mistake would let the Steelers ice the game late with a fieldgoal.  Well there were some mistakes late and that missed field goal killed my spread of 10 (27-17) but hey I was close in a way…..

 Webslasher81: I can say in the least that I am no swami, Arn showed me up this week with dire fashion. I said it was going to be a close game and it was…just not the score I predicted. I predicted Wallace deep for our first score and the rest of the points coming off of Swish’s toes, (13-9) I was waaaaaaay off, but you guys still love me right? Lol. I also predicted "Can’t see me" would come down with the crucial pick to seal the deal…damn I’m striking out like ‘ol Casey at bat haha. (Groan) All that matters is that we won, and the way we won speaks volumes of those boys we picked in the 3rd and 6th rounds respectively.

 

What are your predictions for the Jets game?

 

PixburghArn:  I predict the Jets try to run the ball even though we are stout against the run.  They will try to get Edwards deep on us a few times to loosen the defense up.  Steelers defense will give up one touchdown and maybe a field-goal.  Steelers offense will be wide open.  The addition of Heath Miller and the combination of speed will be too much for the Jets safeties.  The young bucks come up big again.  Add on touchdowns again from the veterans Miller and Ward and it’s not close in the end.  Steelers 31 Jets 10.

Webslasher81: Awesome Arnie as usual with the score and the prediction…When we played the J-E-R-K-S the first time we gave up 7 within the first minute of the game…the rest as you can say is history. I honestly feel bad for this little green monsters I do, were hungrier, nastier, and better looking. (Lol!) Our special teams will be a lot better this game, Coach "Dad" puts a stamp on Sanchez, we rub them out completely…BB knows how to win the big games in the spotlight…Steelers 20 J-E-R-K-S 7. Oh yeah we got Taz and H-E-A-T-H back, no contest…

 

What about those standouts from last week?

 

PixburghArn: I said Timmons would be the man with his coverage on Rice and Heap underneath.  For the most part Timmons was a Rice killa.  He played another solid game patrolling the line of scrimmage from sideline to sideline.  He once again led the team in tackles, but Deebo and Clark were the splash players so they stood out more.  On offense I said Ben would be the man getting every eligible receiver involved.  Well not quite, but I did say he would throw two TD passes, one to Hines and another to one of the young bucks.  The other was to Miller, but Brown almost had one. 

 Webslasher81: I said BB to Wallace only td of the day for both parties…(burn), I said Ike makes the crucial pick…(Burn again), I also said a close(er) physical game than what the score said (triple burn). I need to lay off the sauce for a bit, lol.

Who are your predicted standouts for this game?

 

PixburghArn:  I’m going to say Farrior comes up big in this game on defense.  Don’t ask me why it’s just a gut feeling.  I think he’ll make a play in this game that is huge.  On offense Sanders will get due.  Sanders will have over 100 yards and a TD.   

 Webslasher81: On "D" I am saying the "Taz and Wolverine" combo eat Sanchez’s lunch, (Wood: 5 tfl, 1 fumble, 2 sacks) and (Taz: 2 picks, 1 sack with his hair, and 1 pick 6 from one of the 2 picks I have mentioned.). On "O" BB lights it up (20-27 303 yds. 2 tds 4 rushes 22 yds.).

 

Random Thoughts:

 

PixburghArn: I have to give a shout out to SteelChamps!!  He called it.  He took the Jets and Steelers with the spread and started looking for AFC Championship tickets on Friday.  I said he was crazy, but obviously he knew.  Great job SteelChamps!!

 Webslasher81: When speaking of shout outs Arnie, I have to give a shout-out to my buddy Joe for tagging along with me to the Trip Nick, He was the only Packer fan in the bar cheering right with us all throughout the game…maybe he knows something that were all expecting eh!?

 

Cheerleader of the week:

 

PixburghArn: For our flight this week I have a lovely crew to make you feel at home.  Please remember your seat and be used as a flotation device.

 

Webslasher81: Wow! You know what…I might find this an interesting fact but, I believe the Jets are the only team in the championship games that have cheerleaders…holy schnikes! Well since the Jets have been taken over by Arn, I am choosing to go to Tampa, I don’t know what it is but…FLA has tons of prospects…Hello Rachel nice to meet ya!

"Big Ben at Quarterback"

The outlook suddenly dimmed for the Pittsburgh eleven that day;
The relentless Ravens lead by four, with two minutes left to play,
When Mendenhall took a dive on first down, and on second Big Ben threw it away,
A sickly silence fell upon the yellow towel wavers that day.

No one budged an inch from their seat.
Not one dared to think or admit defeat;
They thought, if only Big Ben could get us back on track -We'd put up even money, right now, with him our Quarterback!

But Koch had pinned the Steeler's in some mighty deep doo-doo,
It was third and long, but Big Ben wasn't quite through.
He found his TE Miller and then hit the new kid Wallace,
The former was a tank and the latter fast and polished;
So soon that stricken multitude from their grim melancholy sprung,
For it seemed this moment, the Ravens were on the run.

But then Ray Lewis unleashed a shot to the wonderment of all,
That separated much loved Hines Ward from his helmet and the ball;
And when the dust had lifted, and the men saw what had occurred,
There was big old Pouncey laying on the ball.

Then from 50,000 throats and more there rose a lusty yell;
It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell;
It knocked upon the mountains and recoiled back down their spine,
For Big Ben, yes Big Ben, was advancing straight toward the goal line.

There was ease in Big Ben's manner as he stepped into his place;
There was pride in Big Ben's bearing and his smiling, homely face.
And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly scratched his crack,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Big Ben at Quarterback!

Ten thousand eyes were on him as he got knocked into the dirt;
Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped blood on his shirt.
Then while Mendenhall lay panting on the frozen ground,
Defiance gleamed in Big Ben's eye, his face a scowling frown.

And now the leather-covered oval came hurtling through the air,
And Ward ran watching it hang in haughty grandeur there.
Close by Chris Carr tipped the ball over Ward's head-
"That's interference," cried Roethlisberg.
"Incomplete" the official said.

From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar,
Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore.
"Kill him! Kill the referee!" shouted someone on the stand;
And it's likely they'd have done it had not Mike Tomlin raised his hand.

With a smile of home town charity- Coach Tomlin's visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on;
He signaled to the officials, and once more the "pigskin" flew;
But Hines Ward got tackled by Webb and Landry,
inside the Raven's two.

"Cheers" cried the maddened thousands,
and echo answered Cheers;
But one scornful look from Lewis and Ngata and the audience was awed.
They saw Ray's face grow stern and cold, they saw Sugg's muscles strain,
And they knew that the Raven's D wouldn't let that ball go in.

The sneer is gone from Big Ben's lip, his face is a laughing image;
He calls with cruel voice his cadence at the line of scrimmage.
And now he takes the snap, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the speed of Emmanuel Sanders flow.

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere a wedding reception;
But there is no joy in Baltimore — Big Ben just threw a td redemption.

 

Hello, Hello, Hello again faithful BTSC followers of the Hump mixery! Last week’s wildcard matchup’s raised a few eyebrows…(at least mine…the Jets…THE SEAHAWKS!!!), well I guess that’s what puts WILD in the wildcard matchups, as usual The God’s of Olympus (Arn and yours truly, while 6 is with us in spirit.) give you the lowdown on who were facing…and as fate would have it, like no other way in the world we turned the Ravens card. Round 3 of defensive juggernauts, our team vs. the DelMarVa Shorebirds (pun!). Let’s get to the hump…

 

PixburghArn:  I'm sitting here contemplating a trip to Heinz for the game Saturday.  Do I have tickets?  Yes I do.  I had four but I sold two of them.  I was thinking of selling the other two and staying home.  Why?  Because they lost to the Ravens when I went for the week 4 match, I would however like to go back to the scene of the crime and give the boys a chance to redeem themselves.  They owe me one!  I still may not go…..

 Webslasher81: You know speaking of losses, a couple of months ago I bit off more than I could chew. I jinxed myself I said before the Steelers/Jets game I was 5-0 @ Heinz. I had one of my good friends TJ fly in from Raleigh to come to the game with me, We have had a great track record since I moved to NC in 2005, we won 2 super-bowls in that timeframe up until I left out to Colorado, 4 games into this regular season. The weekend was great, the game was a nail-biter all the way to the last minute. If there is anything I want more right now is that 7th Lombardi gracing the Great Hall in the Burgh.

What are your predictions for this game?

 

PixburghArn:  I predict that it will be a tough game (duh).  This is a coming out for the young bucks.  Brown and Sanders will make key plays.  Baltimore will pay special attention to Ward and Wallace and this will open things up for them.   They will try to get Wallace or Sanders one on one with a CB and test Baltimore deep a few times.  Ward, the crafty veteran will find a way to make a huge play.  A late mistake will allow the Steelers to ice the game with a late field-goal. Steelers 27-17.

 Webslasher81: Looking at since the inception of the Ravens and Steelers rivalry that started many moons ago, I can say this…this will be an all out war once again. We win this game off of Swishes toes…Steelers 13 Ravens 9.

Who are your standouts in this game?

 

PixburghArn: The obvious choice on defense would be Troy, but I am going to say that Timmons will be the man.  His coverage on Rice and/or Heap will be crucial.  On offense the standout will be Ben.  Ben will get everyone involved and have completions to every eligible receiver that sees playing time.  He will have two TD passes one to Hines and the other to either Wallace or Sanders.

 Webslasher81: There are times were I swung and missed on standouts, but if there is anything that I am standing my ground on is this. BB will throw a bomb to Wallace to bust it wide open, and the defender getting burnt will be Reed and or Carr. The defense will carry us the rest of the way. The "Wolverine" will come up big for us in the trenches, and a crucial INT will set the tone to set the sails to the AFCC from none other than…Ike Taylor, yea I said it…Ike will come down with a crucial pick that will win the game for us. Troy will be Troy we know this…his playmaking abilities with set up that game winning pick for Ike to take us to the land of AFC milk and honey.

Cheerleader of the week:

 

PixburghArn:  As I said about midyear I will keep in PG-13.  Slash you can have at it.  If the links don’t work let me know.  Don’t put booty pics up in place of them like last week.  Doh!  Anyhow I have chosen a few hostesses from the Ravens cheerleaders. 

 

First:  They want to show you their flying skills.  Check out the airtime on these birdies!

Next:  Good thing you got a picture kid.  Because women won’t flock to you like this when the cute chubbiness goes away.

Webslasher81: ARN! Lol. I’m sorry brudda…I will console with you for further HDM’s from now on when it comes to your pics not posting. I will let you know beforehand, and you send me your eye candy. Now that since Arn has taken care of the Ravens side of the house, I will turn your attention to those lovely J-E-T-S cheerleaders…meet, Meredith and her cheerleading sidekicks…Lora and Amy!

International hostess of the week:

 

PixburghArn:  I think I’m going to take a trip to Asia and visit Bangkok.  My sweet hostess is the lovely miss Fonthip Watcharatraku.  If you had a blind date with her, you would probably balk at that name.  You would be greatly disappointed in the end.

 

via beautybodybrain.com

 Webslasher81: Asia…ahh what a beautiful area Arnie, I commend you as always…My latest trip took me deep into mid-Europe and where I landed was Warsaw, Poland. Meet the scrumptious…Joanna Krupa.

via static.igossip.com

Well this wraps up another edition of the HDM mixery BTCS’ers, I hope you all have gotten your fill…tune in next week. But for now, LET'S GET READY FOR SATURDAY!!!

Hello again faith followers of the Hump Day mixery! What a week...I am glad that you all are here for the "Master of Ceremonies" Arnie, and your favorite DJ Dub Sleazy, to break down last week’s matchup with the pitiful Brownies, as well as serve you our favorite dish from the kitchen next to Chachi! (Chef extraordinaire), the cheerleaders and international hotties that stole both of our hearts…Get ready for the hump b/c the breaks are gone…let’s get to it shall we?

PixburghArn: Once again my heart was treated to a easy viewing game. I felt so relaxed that I fell asleep during the game.  Well this weekend will be easy on the heart too.   I get to scout our next opponent.

 Webslasher81: Again I agree with ya Arnie 110%, seeing the Man-genius literally cry after the game knowing he sealed his fate with the future coaching in Brown town…brought a big smile to my face, that as well as my 3 cases of Yeungling my dad sent me as a late Crimbus gift.

How about those predictions from the Browns game?

 

PixburghArn:  Well I said Ben would be hitting mid-ranged passes and have a couple of big plays to open the run up.  I got the first part right, but they didn’t run it once they softened them up.  They didn’t run out the clock either.  They treated it like a preseason game and let the backups play balls outs.  My predicted score was going to be 33-10 or 31-10.  I entered it into the prediction poast but didn’t get it in here.  Oh well.

 Webslasher81: D’oh! Once again Arnie I failed ya…I believe I predicted a 28-10 score, but that was way off, Rush-hard had a hell of game rumbling and stumbling the way he did across the goal line. Yeah, yeah B-Mac was my wildcard and he did decent, and he pulled his groin (groan)…oh well, we got the bye and our team needed it…we will be revving the engine towards whomever we vs. after the wild card showdown.

 What are your predictions for this week?

PixburghArn:  I guarantee we don’t lose this week and we rest out starters. 

Webslasher81: I guarantee the whole team is partying like rockstars…and SCORE! Lol.

How about those predicted standouts from the Browns game?

PixburghArn: I said Big Ben on offense.  I said his stat line would read (256 yds. 3 TDs) and he was (280 yds. 2 TD)  ARE took one from him.  Can Ben get an assist?  On defense I said Deebo with 2 FF, 2 sacks and 2 tackles for loss.  Let’s just say I missed.

Webslasher81: I said Rush-hard…um he kicked tail…(23 carries 142 yds. And 2 tds) (Side note I’m not really a stat guy I guess lol…Ringo throw me a bone!). and B-MAC on "D" (1 pick 2 sacks) yeah that didn’t happen…WTF was I thinking…hmm…oh yeah, hangovers are an amazing thing!

How did those concerns you had pan out in this game?

 

PixburghArn: Well Josh Cribbs was taken care of by minimizing his opportunities and Colt McCoy, while making some plays with his feet and engineering a drive on our backups, didn’t have much opportunity to hurt our defense.  Also there weren’t any mistakes for the Browns to capitalize on.  Good game by the boys.  Way to go into the playoffs focused.

 Webslasher81: Yeah I said McCoy and Cribbs might throw some scares in there…well we bottled that up something sweeter than you…

Random Notes:

PixburghArn: I really don’t know what to do with myself.  No game this weekend.  I think I want to go see the Spurs play the Pacers in Indy.  Anyone want to go?

Webslasher81: (Raising his hand…) pick me Arn, pick me!!! Haha! I wish…I will be spending the weekend working on my sweet bo-staff skills…yeah there ya go, it rolls right off the tounge!

Cheerleaders/Hostesses of the week:

PixburghArn: I have decided I will choose my cheerleader hostess of the week by the teams I think will win this week. When you have a lovely bird like this one, you must tweet her well.  Ah… tweet, tweet, tweet. Philly in the house.

via insidetheiggles.com

PixburghArn: The Saints have such heavenly bodies.  Am I seeing double? 

via www.maddenbible.com

PixburghArn: I was told Belinda could sing.  I saw her picture and believed right away.  I visited the Chiefs to meet here and ask, "Do you have a sound you can sing with my name in it?  If not I can teach you one."

via cjonline.com

PixburghArn: Does anyone from Florida State play on the Colts?  Because I have a couple of stand-ins for the Colts.

via football-preview.com

 

PixburghArn: On the international front.  My hostess comes from Libya.  Ii think you’ve had enough eye candy today.  I am a fan of beautiful women no matter what they are wearing.  Besides my friend here is very friendly.

via cdn.femagination.com

 Webslasher81: Now I’m not one to talk up a big game when it comes to hotties from both the international realm and cheerleading realm, but it looks like Arn has done his homework…I am always in awe of the beauties that you bestow my man…once again I have to pick my game up…this week’s cheerleaders are coming from 4 areas, I like to hit off first with the AFC then switch off to the NFC…behold the beauty of the # 1 seeded and hated Patriots…Quinn Kingston.

via bittenandbound.com

Webslasher81: Now let me switch to the # 5 seeded Ravens…they have some lookers…here is one of my favorite of the bunch…Lindi.

Webslasher81: Why would I stop there…I am now going to switch over to the NFC, where the # 1 seeded Falcons have made a name for themselves in cheerleaders, HOTlanta I say yes! Say hello to…Krysta.

Webslasher81: Lastly but not least…I’m heading to eastern PA, the # 3 Eagles have some firecrackers to keep their fans entertained…here is the lovely,  Karen!

Webslasher81: Now I am turning my attention to the international side of the house…in my latest globetrotting adventure I stopped off in Israel…meet my future ex-wife…and Israeli Defense Forces hottie…Gal!

Well that wraps up another BTCS males and females, I hope you have enjoyed the input and tune in next week when Arn and I break down the wildcard winners and losers, and our future foe at the Ketchup bottle…and as always… "Stay thirsty my friends!" –Redman  

 

Welcome back dudes and dudettes, for the final regular season chapter of the HDM mixery. My fellow BTSC’ers I am late on this HDM but for good reason…driving back through a blizzard last night from Nebraska and into Colorado wore me out (TWSS lol.). In this Epic Thursday edition Arn and I mix master Slash, tackle last week’s trampling of the southern cats, and give you insight on what is going to happen to the Brownies from Le Dawg Pound. I hope all of our followers here at BTSC had awesome festivities, and are gearing up for the New Years…now let’s get to the hump!

 

PixburghArn:  This game was just what I needed.  I needed a game that I can watch without being overly stressed.  I eat a little too much pork around Christmas and New Year.  I just don't like that combination; stress and pork.  Anyhow, I was a little concerned that it could have been a trap game, with a division rival coming up next.

Webslasher81: I can agree with Arnie on this one…this game was a stress reliever; it was like playing a high school JV team and loved every minute of it. I got drunk during this game, nothing new other than talking to PCI, "The Dude", 6, and Arn through texts…always a pleasure fellas!

How about the prediction from the Panther's game?

PixburghArn: I predicted that the Panthers would try to run the ball (no brainer) and try to hit big plays deep.  Well the INT by McFadden may have made then cool down on the big plays, but they did try.  I said they would be 100% in the Redzone and win by double digits.  I guess one out of two isn't bad in this case.

Webslasher81: I said Mike Wallace would have a big game 3 (td’s), although 1/3 of this is true, I didn’t hit the nail on the head other than the score I was off by one point. The Steelers won 27-3, I predicted 28-3 very close…please my fellow BTSC’ers if your reading this, don’t call my psychic hotline for advice…lol!

What are your predictions in the Browns game?

PixburghArn:  I predict that Ben will hit on midrange passes and open up the run game.  Then he will hit a couple of big plays.  In the end the Steelers will be running the ball to kill the clock.  Special Teams will keep the browns in it early but too much Ben will be the end of story.

Webslasher81: The Browns know they want to be the sore thumb; they want to ruin the party. It is going to be a closer game than you think. I believe Rush-hard has a spectacular day (23 carries 142 yds 2 tds.). The 2nd seed will be ours by the end of the day…Steelers 24 – Brownies 10.

How about those predicted standouts from the Panthers game?

PixburghArn: I said it would be Rush-hard on offense.  Can't say he stood out more than Wallace or Ben.  On defense I said it would be Deebo.  I would be willing to give that to Farrior.  Maybe even (gulp) Mundy.

Webslasher81: I said it would be Wallace, he didn’t do too bad of a job did he guys? Heh heh. And I believe I said Woodley on "D". Although he didn’t play a bad game I can also agree with Arn’s above statement.

What are your standouts for the Browns game?

PixburghArn:  It will be Big Ben on offense.  (256 yds. 3 TDs)  On defense it will be Deebo.  Deebo will have 2 FF and 2 sacks.  He will also have 2 tackles for loss.

Slash didn't poast our concerns for the last week so I can't speak on those.

Webslasher81: Rush-hard all day…(23-142-2). On "D" ah hell…I say B-MAC, (1 pick 2 sacks). Sorry Arn about the concerns notion…I was er…pressed for time lol.

What about the concerns for the browns week?

PixburghArn:  I am concerned that Cribbs will do the thing he does to us especially in games in Cleveland.  I am also concerned that Colt McCoy could scramble and make plays.  Just enough plays.  All of this combined adds up to my biggest concern.  The Browns could capitalize on our mistakes and stay close enough to pull one out.  

Webslasher81: I can agree with Arn, Cribbs is a beast on special teams. Colt McCoy has come into his own and since his last outing against us has fared quite well for a typical Browns QB. He has put up decent numbers in his rookie campaign. He gives me small goose bumps but none that would wake me into the night.

Cheerleader/International Hotties of the week:

PixburghArn: Since the Browns don't have cheerleaders I am just going to just choose a team and pick a hostess from there.  Wow, I say someone I liked and she just so happens to not be a pro yet.  She's got all the tools and she's number one on my draft board. I don't know her name but I know where to find her.  Please welcome my lovely hostess from UCLA.  And give her friends a hand as well.  

 Webslasher81: I can agree with you on this Arn  she is quite the looker…haha once again you put it to the test and for good reason my friend…I am going outside the bounds and am traveling down to Seminole Country meet…my trifecta! (Side note...who wants to roadtrip it with me to FLA.? lol.)

 

 

PixburghArn: I realized while I was cruising Africa that I missed the link from the Caribbean to Africa.  It's Cuba.  Cuba is an island of mostly mulattos.  They have strong African roots.  If you look at what’s in the trunk you can see there is still the African signature.  Meet my two Cuban beauties.  By the way fellas, they are mail-order brides.  HA!  I crack myself up.

Well Boys and girls…this wraps up the HDM regular season…I hope you have enjoyed Arn, 6’s, and I’s antics, and lovely eye candy! (Arn for some reason your pics wouldn't come up so I helped you out this week bro...) Tune in next week for the HDM Playoff Bye Week edition, as well as who we might be facing in 2 weeks. Have a happy NEW YEARS my friends…

Continue reading this post »

 

Welcome once again to the HDM ladies and Gents, 6 is side tracked this week and that’s alright b/c Arnie and you buddy Sleazy Slash is all over the case. We are going to break down the Jets game and what type of time bomb we dealt with there as well as tackling the lowly Black Cats from the NFC South…The Panthers. I am very disappointed, I’m sure as you all are here. Let's try and be as festive as we can, we did clinch a spot in the playoff's right??? Our faithful followers at BTSC let’s get to the jump shall we?

 

PixburghArn: The game wrecked my evening, but I later felt better when I heard we are in the playoffs.  My thoughts went immediately to Troy.

Let's

let him get 100% if possible.  As a matter of fact Let Heath get better too.

Sorry I didn't make it to the game Slash.  Ticket problems.

 

Webslasher81: I was at the game, I didn’t get up with 6 or Arn, b/c I was already hammered and couldn’t work my damn phone, (I did text him and talk to Arn both before I got plastered so that’s a plus I guess…lol sorry guys there will always be next year!) and felt it during the 3rd quarter while I took off my coat, hoodie, and my thermal, I now have a cold b/c of it…as well as a sore throat. This game made me sick…with the play calls to the missed fouls, the whole game stunk up the air! Arn don’t worry about it bro, it happens…lol.

 

How about the predictions from the Jets game?

 

PixburghArn: I predicted an ugly game.  There were no turnovers though.

I

said a few extra kicks would be the difference, but it was a kick return that was the difference.  That's all I have to say about that.

 

Webslasher81: I said that we would stomp ‘em (31-10), well that didn’t quite happen in any aspect, I was disgusted with our special teams (giving up that open td) and our "O" making some suspect calls, (run in the endzone), Get rid of Matt Speath…this guy couldn’t catch a cold. And the f’in ref’s with blatant holding calls to multiple pass interference plays, this game should have been a walkthrough, I DEMAND the resignation of Roger Goodell and the ref’s period. The whole game was like we were in slow motion…and the ref’s were the damn quicksand. That Rex Ryan team is garbage…they should of never of been spotted 9 points from us. I was so pissed by the end of the game…I didn’t talk the whole night afterwards and drank half a bottle of Nyquil to go to sleep and get rid of my nightmares.

 

How about predictions for the Panthers game?

 

PixburghArn:  I predict that the Panthers will try to run the ball.

They

will mix the run with attempts at big pass plays.  The Steelers will be 100% for TDs in the Redzone and win by double digits.  30-17.

 

Webslasher81: Were coming out pissed, Were ripping the Panthers a new one…28-3.

 

How about those standouts for last week?

 

PixburghArn: Slash forgot to post them.  hahaha  Hmmm maybe I didn't provide any.

 

Webslasher81: My bad brudda I dropped the ball haha sorry. I forget mine, but I will tell you what from what I seen we did stop Holmes and Sanchez enough but not execute. Oh and this message goes out to you Smoke-a-tonio: Your such a big man, taunting the fans right after the game like you caught the game winner in the endzone…Ike shut you down, you’re sorry as hell and we don’t want you back you piece of garbage, if I was with 6, we would of rushed the field and made you eat turf…we would have been locked up then, but it would have been worth it. You have a bone to pick with the Rooney’s like 6 said take it up with them, not with the fans, b/c we had your back…but now if and when you do come back to Heinz Field expect a warm welcome compliments of eggs and raw hamburger meat…

 

Predicted Standouts for the Panthers game?

 

PixburghArn: I predict that Rush-hard will be the standout on offense.

125

yards and 2 TDs.  On defense the standout will be Deebo.  Deebo comes back with a vengeance.  5 tackles, 1 sack, FF and INT.

 

Webslasher81: Mike Wallace will steal the show…3 bombs to him for 3 tds, ends up the day with 10 touches 137 yds. and 3 tds. On "D" Woodley comes out and gets 3 tfl 2 sacks, and 1 fumble.

 

What about those concerns you had for the Jets game?

 

PixburghArn:  None of my concerns hurt us.  Sanchez didn't have a great game, Santonio didn't smell the endzone and our ground game wasn't stopped....wellll it was stopped from within, if you know what I mean.

 

Webslasher81: Our "O" line, (but they did pretty well holding up on their own, kudos!). Sanchez, Holmes, and Revis (these 3 didn’t impress me at all, the Jets are like the Yankees of the NFL, going out and buying all the "top" prospects. They were shut down this game…we beat ourselves with help from the refs thoise bastards!). I also believe that I can speak for Arn, that we have no concerns for the Panther’s game b/c this should feel like a scrimmage for us…we win out we get the no. 2 seed boys and girls, it’s that simple…lol.

 

Cheerleader hostess of the week:

 

PixburghArn: Since we pretty much exhausted the Panther Cheerleader pictures during the preseason game, I decided to let this young later accompany me on the Hump Day.  I don't think she is a cheerleader but she looks the part and she's flexible.  Email me and I'll tell you how much.  I'm just kidding folks.

International hostess of the week:

 

PixburghArn: I stepped over to Asia for a moment and found this beauty.

She

said she was from Japan.  I told her she inspires me to show her my Samurai sword skills.  She was so impressed I talked her into hosting this week.

Japan brings you some of the best built electronic gadgets, but none of them comes close to the well built Riyo.  Ochiwa my little dumpling.

Webslasher81: Haha Arnie, you kill me…lol. She is quite the spicy tuna roll…I must say, but I ventured off to Russia this week while thinking of the holidays…hopefully this hot potato can keep me warm at night here is…Maria Verchenova.

Random thoughts:

 

PixburghArn: I like the fact that we are in the playoffs yet we still have some work to do to get a bye.  That means guys that MUST rest can, and we are still playing meaningful games to get some kinks worked out.

 

Webslasher81: I like to say that even though we lost this game…we can still get the no. 2 seed if we win out and I like our chances…I am happy that were in the playoffs but to lose the way we did is unacceptable, hopefully we can get well rested and that bye that we deserve.

 

Well this wraps up another HDM, don’t fret though my faithful followers at BTSC we will be back next week (in addition to 6), to have us wrap up our regular season mix off, when we go up against the "Dawg Pound". In Cleveland…have a happy holiday my friends, and have fun!

 

 

 

Well hello there Boys and Ghouls...welcome back for another weekly dose of the HDM. This week's poast will only feature Arn and I Dj Webbzy Slash, Count'em is currently M.I.A. (probably for a good reason! We love ya buddy!!!), and I am sure that he will be back next week from our BTSC tailgater ready and roaring to go...now pressing on, Arn and I will be discussing the battle with the Kitty Kats, as well as giving our "awesome knowledge" about the game of the week with Gang Green, as always my friends at BTSC I hope you enjoy...now lets get to the jump shall we?

PixburghArn:  Well the snow came and made it quite a relaxing Sunday.  Though  I missed part of the first quarter, all activities were cancelled for the night. That means I got into some shorts and relaxed in front of my LCD with the remote.  I knew that I could sit there all night and veg without being bothered.  I would not however be able to rest if we lost to the dang Bengals.  Thank you defense.

 Webslasher81: Ugh! I was hung-over from the night before but god bless NFL Sunday Ticket!!! I got to watch the game while receiving the random banter and texts from my insider PCI (thanks brudda!) I couldn’t get up with the "Dude" this weekend b/c he was also in bad shape as well lol. But I did get the game on after M. F’ing Sandy the Directv lady…sorry Sandy. If we would of lost to the Bungels I would have been sick and my co-workers would of let me feel the thunder that Monday morning ouch!

How about the predictions from the Bengals game?

 

PixburghArn:  I gave the offense too much credit.  I said Rush-Hard would have two big TDs.  I’m surprised no one commented on that.  Anyhow the young bucks didn’t really emerge as I said, but Brown did do some good things.  The comeback never materialized just as Count’em said, but turnovers did kill them.  I missed badly this week.

 Webslasher81: As did I…our "O" showed some sparks but nothing special other than T.O.P. Although somebody owes me a beer at the BTSC tailgater for predicting Troy picking off Palmer TWICE hahaha! I was ok with the turnout…I missed badly with BB and Rush-hard, but, the "D" saved my tail lol.

How about the predictions for the Jets game?

 

PixburghArn:  I predict an ugly game.  The winning TD may be thrown by a back or a WR in this game. Neither team will be able to run and though there will be some plays made in the passing game, turnovers through the air will stall drives on both side.  In the end a few extra kicks for one side will be the difference.  Steelers 16 Jets 10.

 Webslasher81: Although I commend you Arnie…I disagree, The Jets are showing the NFL that they are frauds, and they will succumb to their fate once again this week. The "D" will fluster Sanchise so bad that they will bench him for Mark Brunell…we win in a rout 20-3.

How about those predicted standouts for The Bengals game?

 

PixburghArn: Once again I missed.  I would say Ben was the man on offense.  I said Rush-Hard would be.  On defense it was Troy and Woodley.  I give Troy the edge because of the timely pick6.  Wood almost has the stat-line I predicted for Deebo.

 Webslasher81: I swung and missed to Arn, only on the "O". But I came up big with that prediction of the "Tasmanian Devil" picking Palmer twice before it was all said and done.

How did those concerns from last week play out this week?

 

PixburghArn: I was concerned with T.O. and them targeting B-MAC.  They did well on both parts.  On offense I was afraid of pressure getting to Ben.  Though they got some pressure Ben shook it off for the most part and got the job done.

 Webslasher81: The "O-line" was my biggest concern, they did what they had to do I guess with the patchwork that we have…What I was really disappointed about was those damn holding calls and that blatant face mask for no flag to BB.

Concerns for this week?

 

PixburghArn:  I am concerned that Sanchez will wake up and have a big game.  He gets those lucky drives when they most need them.  I don’t want to see Holmes in the endzone with the game winner.  I am also concerned that our ground game won’t get started and we’ll have to pass against the Jets DBs.

 Webslasher81: The 3 concerns I have are Holmes, Sanchez and Revis…we must contain the both of them to win the game. I would be sick if Holmes caught the game winner as well Arnie…oh one more, I almost forgot: our "O-line" again (groan) lol.

Well this wraps up another HDM mixery, I hope you all enjoyed the insight as well as the yummy eyecandy...tune in next week when we write up another Brewhaha...from the tailgater to next week's foe from the NFC south the hapless Carolina Panthers...Happy Holidays everybody!!!

via soccerlens.com

Well...well Princes and Princesses thanks for tuning in for another weekly hump edition from your favorite squires with the fire...Arnie, "The Wizard", and your favorite webslinger...this week's blast off is still ringing though the halls of greatness, as the trifecta break down our blood bath from last week with the Ravens as well as taking on another foe from the AFC North in the Cincy kitty cats...I hope as always fellow BTCS'ers, you enjoy our epic climb towards the peak of the season...we (i can honestly speak for the 3 of us here lol.) are grateful for your support...now let's get to the mix and the savory eye candy!

PixburghArn:  Dude this was a trying weekend.  If the Steelers would have lost I would have called off because I was already stressed beyond belief.  Let me just say, "The Steelers saved me from a bad morning."  The Ravens and their fans can say all they want about the game being given away and all, but the best team won.   Something I realized, I don’t remember seeing Ed Reed in the game.  Well it’s Bengal week.  While most Bengals fans annoy me, I have a couple that talk smack even after they lose.  Guess what.  They are already starting up for this week.

count’em_six:  What a game.  I don’t think I appreciate Big Ben as much as I should.  Did anyone worry for one second that he’d come out of the game because of the broken nose?  I sure as hell didn’t.  I would have understood, but I wasn’t surprised one bit.  I also never felt that we were going to lose.  The score was close enough and in the back of my mind I’m assuming that Ben will lead us down the field one more time.  The dude may not put up the flashy numbers, but my God he can win some games.  I don’t hear any haters running Ben out of town anymore…interesting.  Haven’t heard them in a while actually.

 

Webslasher81: I actually thought I was going to have a coronary…went through my mind when the score was 10-6 and the Steelers were driving. Then I thought…"Here we go again…groan." Just Like Arnie and "The Wizard" have stated if the Steelers would of lost this game it would have been a bad week for me in the Springs…I was watching the game at the confines of a well know "Patriots" bar here in the springs called "The Fox and Hound" how fitting for a name…With my buddy Johnny "The Dude" Brewer (always a pleasure my friend, I hope that "Steeler Nation" lucha libre mask I gave you comes to good use haha!) makes, it was an epic game on all scales and how Ben made that last drive count as well as Taz force sacking/fumbling Fluke-o…the football gods all came to enjoy the show. I am very grateful that we are now the kings of the hill once again.

How about the predictions from the Ravens game?

PixburghArn:  I said the key to the game would be pressure.  I said Ben would have enough available to score if he had a little time.  For the most part that was true.  He found away to move the ball and get those two field goals.  This kept the game within a TD for the win.  I also said if Flacco is pressured he will turn the ball over.  Pressure at the end of the game and the turnover happens.  I also said the Steelers would be the first to score a TD on the Ravens this year on a drive starting in their territory.  Not that it makes a difference but I forgot to add after a turnover.  The way I wrote it made it sound like after a return, but the Steelers are the first to score a TD on the Ravens this year on a drive starting in their territory after a turnover.  I got the spread right, but the score was a little high and there were no big returns for us in the game.

count’em_six:  How ironic I predicted a penalty laden game, when in reality it was just the opposite.  Our QB gets his nose broken by a blow to the face and our TE (while truly defenseless) was lit up, yet no penalty on either.  Can some explain that to me?  It was effing infuriating.  I predicted 5 sacks, and there were 4.  I also predicted a pick to Troy , but the FF was just as nice.  My man is back!!  Maybe LeBeau has been using him differently until now because his Achilles was still bothering him.  Who knows?  Loved seeing him at the LOS.  Keep it coming.  I don’t remember Harbaugh crying a lot, but I’m sure he was still wetting his pants…the cameras just didn’t pick it up.  Anyway, got the Ravens score right with 10, but thought we’d put up a bit more than 13…predicted 24.

Webslasher81: "Team effort" that’s what I predicted…and the pieces of the puzzle all came together at the right times…once again we played 2 teams for the third straight week in a row and this is becoming an annoying trend…I am going to make a side poast on this subject into petitioning Roger Goof-dell to resign right after the season/playoffs/Super Bowl comes to a close. Who’s with me?

What are your predictions for the Bengals game?

PixburghArn:  Wallace will have 100+ yards, but Rush-hard will have 2 big TDs.  The passing game will get some chunks on early downs, but the running game will set the tempo.  In the second half you’ll see the emergence of the young bucks (Brown and Sanders) again.   One of them will add a TD.  Turnovers will kills the Bengals and time will run out on a late come back for them.  Steelers 31-24.

count’em_six:  The Bengals offense is ranked 22nd in the league in total yards/game.  Couple that with playing at Heinz and we’re looking at a shutout.  Palmer will most definitely throw 1 or 2 picks and the defense will get on the board in this one.  This game will not even be close.  We are not looking at last year’s team ladies and gentlemen.  We’re winning games we should be this go ‘round.  Oh and the Bengals defense is ranked 20th in yards allowed.  We’re putting up 28 and Suisham will have yet to kick a FG at Heinz.  No late comeback this week, Arn.  28-0.

Webslasher81: As bruised and battered as we are, coming away with a "W" from the Ratbirds game…I feel very confident that BB will come out pissed with his "two-facedesque" persona, (20-25 attempts, 217 yards 3 tds.) Troy P. WILL pick off Palmer 2 times this game…we steamroll the hapless Bungels 31-10. Side note: Marvin Lewis will be fired after we tromp them again for the 2nd time this year.

How about those standout predictions?

PixburghArn:  I said Sanders would have a big game and we would have if he would have gotten up and gone in to the endzone.  I said 4 catches and 1 TD, but he had 3 for 49.  They were big catches.  None were bigger than the 28 yarder to the 2 yardline.  I did however say that Ben would be the standout.  I would have to say he was.  He was a warrior Sunday and I give him the honor for that.  He fought hard and made crucial plays in the pinch.  He also threw a horrible pass into triple coverage on 2nd down, but I forgive him.  I said Timmons on defense, but it was Troy .  Can’t win them all.

 count’em_six:  I predicted Ward to step up this week (as he normally does in big games), but my man disappointed with 1 catch for 13 yards…and a key drop.  S’all good Hines, you’ll come back this week.  I ain’t mad atcha.  I also said Heath would have a serviceable game with 50+ yards, but he only had 1 catch as well.  May or may not have contributed more if that hit never happened.  Imagine that…2 catches between Ward and Miller and we still win the game.  That’s a testament to our D obviously (keeping the score low), but also to other folks getting involved on O.  Does anyone seriously miss Holmes?  If so, please state your case.  Notice how even while the Jets were getting bent over last night, he still took the time to beat his chest on first downs.  Nope, don’t miss him.  I predicted Harrison to stand out on D, but it was most definitely Troy that took the prize in that department.  Thought Silverback would record a sack, but no such luck.  Certainly not a DPOW, but he did get a hit on Dork…which was nice.

Webslasher81: Once again I predicted…the "Team" would rise to the occasion on a couple of big plays and to say that I didn’t predict this correctly would be a slap in the face. Lol. From Troy’s death defying play, BB’s unnerving will to play though pain, to sheer raw power of Redman rumbling, stumbling and bumbling into the enzone…speaks volumes of this team.

How about the standouts for the Bengals game this week?

PixburghArn:  Rush-hard will be the man on offense with 100+ yards and 2 TDs.  On defense James Harrison’s stat lien will look something like this, 2 sacks, FF, INT and 2 PD.

count’em_six:  We’re definitely going to be sustaining drives with our run game this week.  That’s not to say Ben won’t get his numbers.  Give the offensive game ball to Wallace for 125 yards and 2 TDs on 6 catches.  Defensive game ball goes to Keisel.  Having come back from hamstring injuries, that first time back out on the field is always relatively tentative.  You don’t quite trust your body yet.  Well now he knows his wheel is good to go.  We’re gonna see the bow and arrow this week folks.  Book it.

Webslasher81: BB tears up the show, (20-25 attempts, 217 yards 3 tds.). Troy P. let’s his hair fly 2 picks 2 sacks…and a whole lot of head and shoulders for the losers…haha!

What are your concerns for this week?

PixburghArn:  I am concerned that the Bengals may target B-Mac.  B-Mac can hold his own if he doesn’t try to do too much, but the thought of him peaking in the backfield when T.O. is streaking down the sideline concerns me.  I’m also concerned about what the line is going to look like, because Bengals have been able to pressure Ben the last two years.

count’em_six:  Oddly enough, I’m not worried about our secondary this week.  Our front 7 will take pressure off.  I think McFadden (hopefully) learned his lesson on looking off receivers.  He’ll be ok.  TO will put up decent numbers and Chad Johnson will be mostly silent.  My concern once again is injuries.  At what point does it stop?  Every damn game someone goes down.  I know that’s part of it, but it’s excessive this year.  Now our punter…really?  This week the water boy goes down with a torn ACL, MCL and PCL.  That’ll teach him to jump over the bench to service Casey Hampton.  Tee’d that one up for you people…

Webslasher81: The "O" line…and if H-E-A-T-H can play. God I hope he does…those damn refs should rot in hell for not throwing that flag after that hit, as well as the bat to the face from Nagata to BB.

Cheerleader hostess of the week:

PixburghArn:  I want you all to meet Jenni, a young lady that is near and dear to my heart.  I actually got to spend a little time with her.  She told me if I had any other friends that were Steeler fans I could give them her number.  It’s 867-5309.

count’em_six:  This is Tiffany.  Not the 80’s/early 90’s pop star (not hatin’).  She was my maid before I got her the job with the Bengals.  Always insisted on wearing the bikini and heels.  I pleaded with her to stop, but to no avail.  She gave me that pic as a thank you for hooking her up.  Silly girl…

 Well...fellow humpers, this wraps up another week...of the HDM mixery, I hope all of you enjoyed the show, tune in next week when you get an insiders report from us 3 (b/c we will be at the game lol.) HDM's very own tailgater mixoff when we take on Jabba the Hutt's "Gang Green", at the Ketchup bottle.

 

Well...well...Men and women, it's time for another HDM with yours truely Arn, 6, and me Slash. We have been spinning webs as the "trifecta" have finally been brought together again, we are going to possibly "shock and awe" the faithful followers here at BTSC with the notes from last week's scare from the Toronto Buffaloes, as well as insight on the most "heated" rivalry in the NFL today, as we take on the Ratbirds in "WIRE Stadium"...the homeland of Edgar Allen Poe. I Hope you all enjoy, and yes this also means you MaLoR!

Your thoughts on last weeks game?

PixburghArn:  Man I hate games like last week's game.  Ok, I hate losses
a whole lot more.  Man, I'm too young to be putting my ticker through
this. All that said, the Bills need someone that knows the Heimlich
maneuver.  Well now it's on to Baltimore.  With the health of our line
and B-Mac, I'm not feeling too confident.

count'em_six:  Agreed Arn.  And we can expect a similar game with the
Ravens this Sunday.  I can't believe how much our team has been
penalized in the last two weeks.  10 for 107 yds against the Bills and
14 for 163 yds against the Raiders.  24 penalties for 270 yards in 2
games.  That's almost 3 entire football fields!!  It's outrageous.  I
want to start seeing MT flip out on the refs.  I don't want to see him
clapping anymore with that determined look.  I love that he's a cool
head, but every once in a while I need to see him freak the f out.  The
Ravens game might just be when we see it.

Webslasher81:I agree with you guys 110% but…Do you know what’s even worse…spending the ENTIRE time getting texts from PCI while on the road, driving back to Colorado Springs. Going from knowing we have a 13-0 lead by halftime to read texts and calls (via PCI, thanks by the way brudda!) saying that it was tied up 13-13, then going into OT @ 16-16, and winning it by a field goal "skippy" would of biffed 19-16. I thought my life flashed and slashed (pun!) before my eyes WOW! (i.e thanksgiving vacation in Nebraska with family.)



How about those predictions from the Bills game?

PixburghArn:  I predicted the Steelers would have a hard time stopping
the Bills in the second half and would get scoring opportunities because
of pass interference calls, but mistakes would kill them.  Also I said
the Steelers would be able to run at will because of precision passing.
Let's see, all of that was right, even though a blind man could see that
coming.  I missed by a longshot on the score.  While the Bills made huge
mistakes, we could have had more points if we didn't trip over our
collective dick while going in for a score. No LeBeau wasn't on the
field.  It's a figure of speech.

count'em_six:  Didn't make any.  Been relatively MIA the last couple
weeks.  Work has been nuts.  I'll leave it at that for fear of the
outside chance someone I work with might be reading this blog.

Webslasher81: I predicted that the Steelers were gonna stomp the Bills 31-17…well…that didn’t quite happen, if it wasn’t for the "D’s" major step up (Troy’s pick, that dropped TD catch by "The Joker"…etc.)the game would have been sealed and we would have been 7-4, thank or lucky stars that Sushiam dropped those 4 fg’s. I didn’t know that we would be playing two teams the past 2 weeks (Raiders/Bills respectively and Roger Goodell’s cronies).


What is your prediction for the Ravens game?

PixburghArn: I think the difference in this game will be pressure.  If
the line can give Ben time then there will be enough available to Ben to
keep drives alive and score.  If Flacco gets pressure he will turn the
ball over.  We need Bret Keisel back on the field.  I'm going to also
say that a big return by either Brown or Sanders will bring momentum and
the Steelers will be the first team to score a TD on a possession
starting on the Baltimore side of the 50.  Final score Steelers 20
Ravens 17.

count'em_six:  Another penalty laden, heart-attack-waiting-to-happen
game.  Flacco The Dork will be on his ass at least 5 times and will
throw a pick to Troy.  Meanwhile, Harrison will be blocking the same way
he did against the radiers, but insert Flacco for Bush.  Harbaugh will
be crying to the officials all the way to the last second of the game.
We win this game and leave carnage in our path.  Steelers 24 Ravens 10
(but closer than the score indicates).

Webslasher81: I have to say this is going to be an "all out war" blood and guts will be all over the field after it’s said and done… A crucial flag from Goodell’s cronies will ultimately decide this game. Steelers 17 – Ravens 14…there is also going to be massive fines from both sides I can smell it.



How about those standout predictions?

PixburghArn: Well, Rush-Hard was one of the standouts.  He didn't get
175 yards and 3 TDs.  He had 151 and 1 TD.  A penalty kept him from
getting close to my prediction of yards and maybe would have led to
another TD for him.  Oh well.  I did call a big INT for Ike or Troy that
would change the momentum.  Ike almost had one (never said that before)
and Troy almost had two.  But the one Troy did get was HUGE.  Willie was
also Huge (TWSS) on that play.

count'em_six:  Again, didn't make any.  Will have something here next
week obviously...

Webslasher81: I predicted that Mendy would have 2 tds 126 yds. Again I was wrong, Wallace was even more silent than usual although he came up with "clutch catches…I predicted that he would light up the scoreboard with 167 yds catching and 2 tds. And Woodley would standout above the rest of the "D" although he played well, not up to my stats though, 13 tackles, 4 tlf, and 3 sacks. Oh well such is life eh…? Lol.


Standouts for the Ravens game?

PixburghArn: On offense I think Sanders has a big game.  His stat sheet
won't tell the whole story but 50+ yards on 4 catches and a TD.  But the
standout will be Ben.  His big plays will overshadow any mistakes.  On
defense Lawrence Timmons gets a pick and makes plays all day.  He will
lead the team in tackles and add in a sack.

count'em_six:  Can always count on Ward in these games to step up.  I'm
thinking 80+ yards and a TD.  The Ratbirds will be too worried about
Wallace and leave Ward open a few times.  I think Heath will have a
serviceable game as well - 50+ yards.  Defense is going to be Harrison.
My man is going to step up even bigger and have a defensive player of
the week type game.  2 FF's, 2 sacks and a FR...and laying Flacco out a
few times in the process.

Webslasher81: I predict that this game will be won by a "whole team" effort. Year in and year out the Ravens games are always tough and physical, with a lot of bangs and bruises along the way. This game decides our "Destiny", whichever road we decide to cross hopefully it leads to that stairway to 7.


How did those concerns from Bills week figure into the game?

PixburghArn: Scrambling wasn't the problem, but Fitzpatrick making plays
was.  I guess I was right in a way.  My concern was Fitzpatrick.  I
wonder if the Bengals wish they had him instead of Palmer?

count'em_six:  Though I didn't contribute to this last week, I was
worried about Buffalo sneaking up on us...call it a trap game if you
will.  They've been playing very well as of late, and quite honestly a
lot of people were looking passed this game.  Glad we didn't.

Webslasher81: Arn is right Fitz was a nightmare…I have to agree on that. As well as our "O-line", with all of the injuries we have sustained, I hope to God we can get healthy as our season is spiraling towards the playoffs.

Cheerleaders and International hostesses of the week:

PixburghArn:  I met up with this lovely lady before a game last year and
she said set up a date.  I said "tonight."  So she said, "Oh, I'd better
start warming up."  That was right before they shot this picture. The
link says she's a Colts cheerleader, but she's a Raven.  Trust me on
that.

count'em_six:  Here's an ex-girlfriend of mine.  She was too clingy so I
broke up with her.  Plus, she wanted nothing from me but sex.  A guy has
feelings too you know:

PixburghArn: My international beauty, as promised, is from the
Caribbean.  I am going to be leaving Latin America starting next week.
I have my eyes set on Africa.  There are a few countries in Africa that
I have a fondness for.  When I show you my hostesses you'll see why.
Now, meet Yendi from Jamaica.  She very modest as you can see by her
photo.  If I would give you a frontal shot of her then you'd have to go
see a doctor after about 3 hours.

count'em_six:  This one won't stop calling me.  I've changed my number
twice and she still finds me.  I'm constantly deleting racy pictures she
sends me and postings on my facebook page.  Can someone please get her
off me?
