Let the 2009 Season begin! Week 1 around the league gameday thread

Good grief -- Roethlisberger couldn't throw an incompletion if he wanted to.

Like was said earlier, I hope JC is taking notes. I expect a lot from JC and this is his week to make a statement!

Steelers could not run the ball at all.

The no-huddle was a great move--really took the wind out of the Tenn D.

Yeah, but who wore Tennessee down if not the Pittsburgh OL?

That Ben Roethlisberger is a top 6-8 QB in the NFL. We didn't see that guy for a majority of last season and you can probably put that on the OL.

Ben also broke a few hand tackles, used his pump fake to control the Dlines rush (to a small degree). He looked very impressive controlling the offense.

I think it's clear that they miss Haynesworth.

The crazy thing is, that a very likely scenario is that one of these teams is a playoff team and one is not. And if neither ends up winning a division, well, the NFL tiebreaker system says the Titans are in a two game hole.

You know that Polamalu is out for the season right?

He is this year's Tom Brady. Sucks for him. He had a great one handed interception before he went down though.

Looks like word is that he's just out for 3-6 weeks with a MCL sprain.

Looks ugly enough to be season ending.

Titans D ran out of gas at the end. Hard to believe they didn't miss AH at all.

Weird stat last night, Holmes put up 9-131-1, the same exact numbers he had in the SB.
