Nothing went right. It was a Chinese fire-drill out there today. Steelers looked slow and flabbergast while Baltimore was sharp on all cylinders. That's the WORST Pittsburgh will look all season and possibly the best Balty will look. All credit to Balty, they looked like a team sick of getting beat and rubbed it in and had every right to. Just remember there's 2 and possibly 3 of these things. Regroup.

I'll wait a couple of more weeks to pass judgement on the Steelers, because it is just one week. That said, they looked fucking putrid out there and they looked older than Baltimore (which is interesting, given how fossil-like the Ravens are). This outcome is the result of another scenario where Pittsburgh ran their mouths in the off-season about how much Flacco sucked, and Flacco simply toyed with them. I know this...The Rapist can't be throwing 3 picks in one game and be successful. Dude simply isn't that good. I'm also thinking that Polamalu is really starting to look old and slow, so I'm not sure that contract they just gave the guy makes a whole lot of sense. I thought Troy played WAY below average last season (especially late in the season) and the beginning of the season is starting to make his bad play look like a trend.

Plenty of teams made significant roster moves this offseason, but not the Pittsburgh Steelers. The defending AFC champions made a couple of offensive line changes and let slot receiver Antwaan Randle El go. On defense, however, the players from last season's team are back for another shot at the title, just one year older. In the case of the Steelers, that one year older means the defense is pretty old.
On Sunday, the Steelers will start the same 11 defenders that started the 2010 opener. And that defense will be among the oldest in NFL history. The planned lineup going into 2010 averaged 30.5 years of age, although the actual lineup for the season ended up averaging 29.5 years because Ziggy Hood replaced an injured Aaron Smith. Now Smith is back, and the average age of Pittsburgh's projected defensive starting lineup for 2011 is 31.5. If those remain the starters for the entire season, the Steelers will be the oldest defense of the century by more than a year. Only Lawrence Timmons and LaMarr Woodley are under the age of 30.

So, Arizona won by only 7...but while Cam took a loss, he also took Peyton Manning's rookie debut passing record with 422 yards in the air...3 TD's...whole team was playing very well. Aside from the loss (by 1 yard in the 4th quarter), Cam Newton has nothing to frown about. He will be a force.
