[QUOTE="ArnoldSlick, post: 346612, member: 4164"] A lurker Steeler fan here. Congratulations on the win, the better team on the night won. The Pack played clean(no turnovers) and the Steelers didn't. Can't turn the ball over against a good team that many times and expect to win. I just had to respond about Troy. He did not have his best game last night and no he wasn't 100% but after 19 or 20 full go games this year I would say very few players on either team were. The way the Steelers have structured the defense they(and Troy) always have trouble with the spread. They don't spend money or high draft picks (aside from Troy) on the secondary and rarely have the personnel to play a ton of man against the spread(successfully anyway). Especially against an offense like Green Bay's Troy is almost always forced to play deep aside from the occasional blitz. Lebeau plans on keeping everything in front of the db's and making a team string together completions to get down the field, figuring the rush will get to the qb or he can confuse him before they can get points. This takes Troy away from his strength which is being closer to the box and running around making plays. He is not bad in coverage he is just not as much of a difference maker. Also if he is back in a two deep it is pretty easy to avoid him if you want to. Polamalu made a ton of game changing plays this year so I think he deserved DPOY, although I think it could have gone to about 6 different guys and I wouldn't have complained. Troy didnt play great last night but when you make a mistake in the secondary it is almost always visible. Don't judge anyone's year by one game or a handful of plays. Bloodline had some rough moments against the run last night and I don't think anyone is downgrading him. [/QUOTE]
