Time to make some glue
Steelers will "paste" Ponies on MNF
Article by McMillen & Wife
I've got a GOOOOD feeling about this one, folks.
Maybe it's because I've spent the last several days driving around town listening and re-listening to a recorded radio broadcast of the '76 Steelers vs. Colts playoff game (the Steelers won easily, 40-14).
Or perhaps it's because Sandy and I will be attending the game, and the Steelers are 20-1 when Sandy is "in the house."
Then again, it could be that Terry Bradshaw is finally coming home. I read a great quip by Terry today: "Kill the fatted calf. The prodigal son is coming home!"
We don't have a fatted calf, Terry, but will a bloated foal do?
Don't be fooled. The Colts aren't nearly as good as their 4-1 record. They were a questionable pass interference call away from defeat vs. the Ray Lewis-less Ravens last week, and even Cinci gave them a serious run for their money. The Colts are a team with a very mediocre defense that relies on their offense to bail them out. Granted, Peyton Manning is the real deal and their passing attack can be formidable. But Edgerrin James is still a shadow of his former self, and facing our rejuvenated defense that should get a significant boost from Kendrell Bell's presence, a one-dimensional offense isn't gonna get it done.
What's the perfect compliment to any Terrible Towel?

These guys are RIPE for an unpleasant ride on the Bus.
Ultimately, it's Indy's poor run defense (29th in the league) that will be their undoing. We are going to OWN time of possession in this game, which is the key to beating a team that relies heavily on their offense. Wear down that defense, keep the ball out of Manning's hands, and as my good brutha Tommy Coleman would say, "Dominate that ass." Our offensive line is playing at a VERY high level right now... Jerome will eat these guys alive. Tommy Maddox has got to be salivating at his play-action prospects. I would not be a bit surprised if we see a 60+-yard TD pass in this one, because Indy is going to have to sell out against the run. Man, I can't wait!
The bottom line: This is the week the pundits will finally have to start acknowledging the Steelers in terms of post-season contention again, folks. When it's all said and done, I think we'll gaze at photos of Cowher hoisting the Lombardi Trophy over his head, look back at our 1-3 start and say, "Man, am I glad we had that wake-up call early on."
A pipe dream? I don't think so. This team is coming together and making the right adjustments. We are on the verge of a BIG-time run. I hate to be so cliche', but as the Dolphins have proven repeatedly, it's not about how you start... it's how you finish.
Tims's Prediction: Steelers 31, Colts 20
Sandy's Prediction: Steelers 24, Colts 14
See 'yins after the game, bruthas & sistas!

P.S. --- For your pleasure, I've attached a transcript of a relevant SNL skit below:
Colonel Belmont's Old Fashioned Horse Glue
Langford T. Belmont.....Will Ferrell
Carl.....Chris Parnell
[ open on horse farm ]
Langford T. Belmont: Life's a little simpler 'round here in the country. We move at our own pace. A little slower, and a little old-fashioned. Sometimes, that's the best way to get things done. Hi, I'm Langford T. Belmont. You know, they say that people don't care about quality and tradition nowadays. Well, maybe I'm old fasioned, but around here we do things the way they ought to be done. That's why we make our glue the old fashioned way. Out of horses. (holds up product)
Colonel Belmont's Old Fashioned Horse glue. Made the old fashioned way. Out of 100% dead horse. In 1908, my great-grandfather, Nathaniel Belmont, had one simple notion. Cut the hooves off of horses like ol' Chestnut here and make glue out of them. And his idea soon became the world's finest all-natural adhesive.
Carl: [ making a pot of boiling horse glue ] How does this batch look, Mr. B?
Langford T. Belmont: Needs more horse, Carl.
Carl: Yes, sir. [ picks up ax ]
Langford T. Belmont: You know that it takes four fully-grown horses to make just one bottle of our glue? And that we use only the choicest hooves, plus some bone, hair, internal organs, whatever gets caught in the machine. Everything else we just throw away to rot. That's our promise of quality. So when it comes time to fix that refridgerator magnet or put together a little house of popsicle sticks, you don't want some cheap synthetic glue. You want pure mutilated horse paste.
Carl: [ with a wheelbarrow full of horse hooves ] Horse coming through!
Langford T. Belmont: [ laughs ] Colonel Belmont's Old Fashioned Horse Glue. Made the old fasioned way. Out of horses.

Comment: The Shoes
The Ypsilanti Steelers Shrine & Blast Furnace will be smelting the ceremonial shoe again Monday. It stays in the Blast cave 24-7-365 and for the first time this season it will be fired up. Notice has been served on Spider-Town (The woodpile) and it's move out tell your friends or burn. The familiar shout of "MORE WOOD" will be heard often and when necessary. I will stand the heat but not in the kitchen. Right next to it baby.
As for Peyton Place and Reckless Driver Eddie James
they better get ready for an ass whuppiN'.
Marvin Harrison is a human freak; on first name basis with all the fast food joints in Indy and a home full of refined sugar products he is one Kendrell Bell shot away from Junk Food Rehab.
Note to D: On blitzs, cover the screen/TE over the middle!
Tony Dungy welcome back.
Terry Bradshaw is leaving in the third quarter to get back to Dallas for a book signing on Tuesday so love him up good, early and often.
Tim, Sandy I want to hear "Dominate that ASS" form the stands. And if any taunting calls are made please as a personal favor will you start the mocking reply to the refs "TAAAAAAAUUUUNN-T-ING".
Who is the Shoes back up QB?
If we see him -"NO SOFT ZONE" please,please,please Tim Lewis please.
And lets see how the "opportunities" bear out in the last two minutes of the first half.
