Happy Football Day!

Woohoo! Football season is finally here.

As for tonight's game -- I'm actually not that worried about Ben Roethlisberger's appendectomy-related absence or Hines Ward's hamstring. Charlie Batch has had a lot of reps with the first team offense lately and he knows a thing or two about playing quarterback in our system. So I don't expect him to go out and lose the game for us. And I don't expect Miami's offense to be able to run away with the game.

So I think it will all come down to whether our offensive line and Willie Parker are able to dictate the flow of the game on the ground. If the Steelers can run the ball, they should win easily. If not, then I guess we'll be hoping to squeak out a 13-10 win.


Additionally, while talking Steelers, I guess I'll point out that a Steelers fan in western Pennsylvania earned #2 billing on Keith Olbermann's Worst Person in the World list the other night on MSNBC:
