So. Happy new year?
As usual, I was posting my comments on the game on my Facebook page, and someone commented that she always enjoyed my posts. Friends who no longer live in Pittsburgh often rely on me for scores and updates during the game - I post more often and somewhat more critically than the official Steelers posts. So. I decided to blog.
And the most important thing I have to say about this game is:
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is Ben doing in this game? He said he was 60%, he's obviously limping, and we're down by three points in the third quarter. Because Ben is struggling with the pass (read: he isn't passing well. Oh, wait: he isn't passing at all.), Mendenhall got hurt.
We lost two weeks ago because Ben insisted on playing when he was 40%. We won last week with Charlie Batch.
And the announcers. Yoi, the announcers. They keep saying it's smart to play Ben because he would get rusty with three games off. How many games - how many years - had Charlie Batch been off when he stepped in and won beautifully last week?
I think we'll win this (but I owe a friend two lunches if we don't), but it sure ain't pretty. And we're going to be mincemeat for the playoffs.
Thanks, Ben.
Shouldn't it be 'Stiller Gurl'?
ReplyDeleteyes, probably . . . sigh!
ReplyDeleteWhiskey Tango Foxtrot! LOL! My husband uses that lingo all the time when reciting letters and numbers to people (like repeating passwords or spelling out weird names). Last week he had to give his daughter the password to my parents' WiFi network ... and we finally figured out that it wasn't working because she kept putting "Foxtrot" down as "FT," thinking it was two words. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome that a "gurl" is blogging about the Stillers. You go, gurlfriend!
thanks, gurlfriend. the gurls have to reclaim territory, and this is a good place to start! wonder how many people knew what Whiskey Tango Foxtrot means? but with a beverage and two dances, i'm so there!
ReplyDeleteYou go gurl, but think about it; Ben is like a formula one car that needs to be on the track for speed trials so he does not seize up from disuse and so the mechanics can figure out how to tune him up. Without him we would be fubar in the playoffs and who knows better than us the thin line between victory and defeat. GO STILLERS.
