SCB Steelers Quick Hitters for October 22, 2014

By Steel Dad

The Steelers will practice today from 115-315pm ET today.

-Colts’ Quarterback Andrew Luck (130pm) and Head Coach Chuck Pagano (145pm) speak to the Pittsburgh media today via conference call.

-Two things lost in the hoopla surrounding the victory Sunday were to game management issues. The first was the Steelers letting nearly 30 seconds run off the clock before Ben Roethlisberger hit Le’Veon Bell for a touchdown just before halftime. Obviously it worked out, but had the Steelers struggled to get in and had to settle for a field goal this would be a major topic of conversation.

-The other issue was Mike Tomlin choosing not to go for it on fourth and inches in the third quarter inside Houston territory. Now the Texans didn’t score off of that eventual decision to punt but they did flip the field. Tomlin could have gone for the throat there and didn’t. I don’t like the lack of aggressiveness there.

-Sunday will be Ben Roethlibserger’s 150th career start. A victory would give him a career record of 100-50.

BR7 looking to get to the century mark in wins. I think that's gonna be a little extra motivation to get it done in one game before the media talks about the curse of win 100

And I think he only has this one chance to get to 100 wins in his first 150 starts (if I read that correctly). So he would join Bradshaw, Montana and Brady (who really doesn't belong there because the Patriots* cheated their way to those wins).
