Steelers Big Win Over Cowboys!!!

Hey Yard Barkers, this is my 1st message to you all. What a wonderful victory today vs the Cowboys. For those who couldn't be at the game today it was very cold temperature was around 20 degrees today, but we (Steelers) didn't care about the different elements of the game. The Cowboys were no match for the Steelers in the very cold temperature, and not use to the change of weather since they play in a dome when their at home. Traveling to Pittsburgh really made it difficult to play vs the Steelers today. During the game my body was shivering all over and frustration from not getting enough catches started settle in but my coaches and other teammates were depending on me to make a play and that kinda got me all excited inside. I had a huge 47 yd catch that ignited the fuel to our intense comeback in the 3rd quarter and then a spectacular punt return for 35 yds. The victory was great and at the end of the game when Coach Tomlin grabbed me and put his arms around me he said '10 you give me a hard time during the week of practice but man I can count on you to show up on Sundays". We laughed and enjoyed that victory together. Im really excited about joining the Yardbarker crew, thats it for now and please be sure to keep checking my blogs to see what Im up to. Also please leave me messages and comments because you never know when I might hit you back. ~Holla at cha boi~

  Welcome to the yard! Great game. You give the Steelers a nice vertical game and are money on punt returns.
  
  I am sure being from Florida, having a couple years in Columbus helped you acclimate to the weather.

  I think the Dallas defense matched up with the Pittsburgh offense very well. It was the QB mistakes that gave the Steelers the game. Good punt return. I think that was the turning point of the game.

  Welcome, Santonio. Although I am a Bengals fan, I'm a bigger Ohio State fan. I think you are one of the most underrated recievers in the NFL and in a few years you will show everyone why that is a very big mistake. Like Reggie Wayne is to Indy, you are to Pittsburgh.

  The Cowboys were no match for the Steelers? Not sure if I agree with that but that was a very impressive punt return.

  Nice job today, Santonio. That win was as big for you as it was for the Eagles playoff picture. I loved seeing T.O. throwin a tantrum after you guys took the lead. Thanks for taking down the Cowgirls and hopefully we see you guys in the Super Bowl.

    Great win!, and yes you were the spark in that game, but I would love to see you all the guys on offense getting in the same page, its the time of the year when everything has to be working to make long run.
    Congrts nd keep it up!!!
• Bmoney1654 said December 08, 2008

  Great work yesterday Santonio, that Cowboys defense came to work too, but you guys hung in there for the HUGE Win. The defense has been looking super bowl caliber, and the offense is making the plays it needs to win. I still think you are under-utilized. More quick slants? Hope so, because when it goes to you and Hines it always seems to work.

    I would like to see more catches but I can only do what the coaches allow me to do. But you will see more plays being made from here on out!
• CwByFan28 said December 08, 2008

  I think your one of the most under used recievers in the league. To bad my cowboys don't have a guy like you who can do it all.

  Santonio,
  Wassup maan...congrats on your win yesterday! I will admit though, I'm a lil hot cuz Dallas is my team, oh well. Couple of questions, What made you choose #10 when you wore #4 at The Ohio State University? Do you still keep in contact with Troy & them? How do you feel about the matchup with the Buckeyes & Longhorns in the Fiesta Bowl? Holla back Holmes... O - H...

  • SantonioHolmes replied December 12, 2008

    I chose 10 bc i wanted to be the first wr in our era to wear that #, and we can't wear any single digit #s so 10 was closest to single as it gets. I mainly talk to the guys who made it to the league just because we play each other or just spend time together during the offseason. The matchup is goin to be sick Texas is on a role and our Buckeyes are coming along well this late in the season. But remember the Buckeyes do own the Fiesta Bowl except for the NC game. LOL... I-O

  First of all that jack --- does not know what he is talking about.We dont play in a dome we gave them the fight of their life and it it was not for our Quarterbacks mistake they would have lost. Our defence was great and our offence struggled but so did Pitts I cant wait till the playoffs start we will see how far the go then when to colts or Titians kick their a--

  This was the first game Dallas gave away all season. Sadly, it's also at the worst time:

  santonio, hope you saw the highlights of the great T.O. yelling at his coaches and teamates on the sideline and what a total jerk he looked like. One of the many reasons Ive been a steeler fan for so long is the class the players carry themselves with when they wear the black and gold. You and hines have great pressence of character on the field and let your actions within the game illustrate your greatness. Thanks for becoming a leader on my beloved steelers

  once again tony it was playoff atmosphere and just couldnt get the job done uknow.My prediction is Romo will go to grass valley and do some yoga after the season and reflect on why the Eagles are so much better of a team.

  What's up Tone? 30 year Steeler fan here.
  In the 06 draft there was one receiver i wanted the Steelers to select and it was not Chad Jackson but you Santonio, and when i saw you whip out that terrible towel after we drafted you man i was geeked.
  Good luck Tone and please do just one thing for me, please, after your rookie contract is up please do not leave us in free agency, stay in the Burgh Bro.

  Hey Santonio my 5 year old wanted me to pick him up a "10" steelers jersey when I went to see you guys for the Giants game. i couldn't buy it and put it on him because of what happened to you earlier in the week. I'll make you a deal...you go out and try your damnedest and go as far as you can in the playoffs (maybe even win the big one God willing) and I'll go out and buy my son what he really wants....A SANTONIO HOMES # STEELERS JERSEY!! What do you say??? Do we have a deal??
