There were a lot of comments made by this crew that you'd have to take as 
a grain of salt. My first reaction in paying $20 for this game was to call 
my wife and let her know we had the honor of having Brent, Gary, and Jack 
as the crew. 

It'd be arguable about whether or not you'd want a game breaker or a 
possession receiver - Mulkey seems to do a darned good job of catching the 
ball when it comes into his area. It'd be nice to see some stats regarding 
how many drops each receiver has had.

WR's - Terrence Nunn cost Pitt the game, didn't he? What do you want? 

Isaiah Fluellen - who's been hurt - and I don't think he's played yet, has 
he? He probably has the speed, though.

You mentioned the ONE word that defines the offensive - "consistently". 
Unfortunately, at this point, there doesn't appear to be anyone doing 
things consistently, eh?

That's all dependent upon whether or not we keep winning games. 

It's time to point out (like last year) that Bill Callahan needs to show 
improvement this year, but this is NOT a firing year. You might think if 
the heat gets high enough something might happen but it will not. He seems 
to be playing this year to be getting his players more experience than he 
is in getting the best players on the field in their positions at all 
time. Hence, Grixby sometimes receiving punts instead of Nunn. I obviously 
can't read Callahan's mind, and perhaps there is another reason for what 
he's doing, it's just an observation. 

I don't have a problem with this. All I'd like this year is a minor bowl 
and a plus 500 record. Next year, however, whoooo boy!

I feel sorry for those with heart issues.
