Steeler fans,?brace for a wild ride

September 2, 2008

PITTSBURGH — The NFL preseason should never be used as a determination for how a certain team is going to fare during the regular season. In 2004, the Steelers lost more games (two) in the four-game exhibition schedule than they did the entire 16-game regular season. But trends may be noticed, and one that was apparent this preseason that may carry over to the real season is that the Steelers are going to be unpredictable. Not with their play calling, but in how well they’ll perform week to week. The Steelers wrapped up a 3-1 up-and-down exhibition season that could be compared to a ride on Phantom’s Revenge at nearby Kennywood with a 19-16 win over the Carolina Panthers at Heinz Field. In an opening 16-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, the offensive line looked good, but the first-team defense didn’t. In the second game, a 24-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the offensive line didn’t perform as well, and the defense looked even worse.
