After two consecutive victories, Pittsburgh Steeler fans began to show some optimism for the football season left to play. However, a bad loss to the Oakland Raiders on Sunday afternoon may have sealed the fate of, at best, a mediocre season, for the black and gold. An upcoming match up with the New England Patriots poses yet another road block for the Steelers that could put the team at 2-6 going into the second half of the season.
Big Ben's protection is still an issue as the halfway point in the 2013 season is on the horizon. Injuries to multiple offensive linemen have led to a carousel by committee of plug in players to try and fill the jobs.
In national sporting news, the Boston Red Sox are now only one victory away from capturing another World Series for Beantown. They will have the luxury of playing the remainder of the series, however it may swing, in Boston. David Ortiz has continued his legendary postseason tear, having reached base 9 consecutive plate appearances. Maybe they should try throwing it underhand.....then again Big Papi may be a future softball legend and we don't even know it yet.
Big Papi, David Ortiz, all smiles with a World Series ring within grasps.

I wouldn't call it a bad loss. The Steelers and the Raiders are basically rated fairly close every week, plus the Steelers have now lost to the Raiders the last two seasons. The patriots do pose a test for the Steelers but it seems that the Steelers always play well against the teams they shouldn't, so loo for a clsoe this week in Foxborough.
