Steelers post game analysis

First - let's talk about the stadium. That has been the big story all week. Well - I hate to be the only one to complain - but I actually did not like the experience. It took an hour to get from the freeway to the parking lot. Then, it was extremely difficult to find the elevators and escalators. There was no sign that explained where to go. Then the concession lines were ridiculous, and you couldn't cross them just to walk through. Now finally, my seat faces the biggest video board - yet they cut the video board in half and do not use all of it. Plus - they did not have the downs, qtr, ball on and score up there. Very frustrating. Now - with all that being said, I understand it was the opeming day, and a ton of bugs must be worked out. Also - the seats were very comfortable, it waws much cooler inside than outside. The field looked great. The food was better. And all the workers were very pleasant and helpful. I like the stadium, but I hope they can fix a few things.

Now about the game. I will quickly cover the best and worst.
I thouhgt played well:
Bryant Johnson - stud of the game
Kurt Warner - did very well
Larry Fitzgerald - did good
Offense as a whole - clicked well (sans running game)
There were no penalties until the end! Imagine that - no false starts!
Even though stats weren't there - JJ Arrington
Troy Walters - do we finally have a punt returner?
Gerald Hayes
Antonio Smith
Bertrand Berry
Antrel Rolle

Disappointing -
John Navarre
Anquan Boldin (only due to high expectations)
The run game - except Diamond Ferri - impressive

No injuries to speak of - I hope this means a good season.
