Troy and San Antonio Won't Play Against The Fish

Things just got trickier for a team trying to avoid back to back losses to awful opponents.

Fresh off the disaster in New York, the Steelers must prepare for Joey Porter and the Dolphins sans standout athletes on both sides of the ball.

Troy Polamalu...out with a knee. San Antonio...out with an ankle.

Fun times. Tyrone Carter and Nate Washington best step up their respective games. 7-4 will not be acceptable. At all.

I don't see the Steelers losing, but I thought the exact same thing prior to the Jets game. Pittsburgh should be going for its 9th win, not merely hoping to record win number 8. Still, the team must look forward after the pathetic showing last week, and do anything and everything to avoid a repeat in front of the Monday Night Football crowd.

Don't play with my emotions, Stillers. These injuries cannot be an excuse for a 2nd consecutive disappointing loss.
