Pouncey leaves the game with illness

Pouncey went out in the first half with the Flu apparently. The trainers tried to hydrate him to get him back out on the field in the 2nd half but it never happened. He was definitely missed.

You want to say, get your ass out there, being sick is no excuse. However we don't know how bad it is or even if it was really the flu at this point. If it was the flu, we all know how that can knock you on your butt no matter who you are. I don't question Pouncey's toughness, the dude has been the glue holding this line together other than Starks.

Legursky shifted over to Center and Kemoeatu went back to his normal LG spot admist the epic blitzing by the Chiefs defense.

he makes such a huge difference, its not even funny

The line play was awful. Pouncey gave it a great shot especially if he actually has the flu. We have got to get some quality backups

They were coming from everywhere, even starks got his ass kicked

Sit Pouncey right next to BA on the plane ride home. On the bright side no dump flags on Kemo.

Pouncey is tough. I'm sure if he felt he could give something, he would've been out there

You can really see how much Pouncey is missed and how much he means to this team when he's not in there. The Chiefs were blitzing the hell out of the Steelers offensive line tonight and his presence certainly would have helped the cause.

Legursky plays admirably when he has to fill in for Maurkice but the drop off is significant to say the least.

We all were

Pouncey and Gilbert are pieces to build around........You can win with Starks at LT but still the Steelers would be wise to draft a top OT if one fell to them in the first round but its not likely so draft an athletic and intelligent OG like David Decastro from Stanford.......An OL consisting of Starks, Decastro, Pouncey, Foster, Gilbert doesn't sound bad....Plus I'm sure Colon will be in the mix but they better restructure his contract.....
