Jeremy Stevens is.....SOFT. man, that dude flat out sucked in this game. even when he caught his TD, it looked like he was going to trip over his own feet and i think he was suprised he actually did. man, he sucks.
as for Porter. notice Seattle never put Stevens near Porter. plus, i dont think Pittsburgh blitzed as much as i expected them too. i expected them to come after Hasselback hard and destroy him. they sat back in zones a lot. for those who think Porter did nothing, a LOT of Seahawk plays went AWAY from Porter. Porter didnt blitz as much. Joey Porter had a good game. he made no mistakes. he did his job. what is he supposed to do as an outside LB? leave his responsibility and run to the other side of the field, just to make a tackle. no, Porter did a great job. he did what he was supposed to do.
Big Ben didnt look good at all. but, he didnt make THE HUGE mistake. that INT was bad, but Big Ben did just enough not to blow the game. he also made enough good plays to help the team win. i am surprised that Pittsburgh didnt run the ball more. oh well, i dont think they care at this point.
the Seahawks lost this game because they lost. their record was bloated this year when they played the NFC West, played Indy when Peyton and crew took the day off and beat teams like the Giants when Jay Feely missed three field goals. Seattle is a good team, but they really werent that good. i was shocked they actually made the SuperBowl. but they had a great season nonetheless and nothing to be ashamed about. unless you're Jeremy Stevens. man, he sucks....
