AFC Championship Game - Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (1 Viewer)

[massraider]

And this is the concern with Flacco and the Ravens. They really aren't equipped to come from behind, and score TDs when they need to.

Everybody knows what the rule is. The play was called according to the letter of the rule end of story.

Says the biggest Steeler hater on the board.Nothing like an objective opinion.

 

[bryhamm]

The key to that play (and to the game so far) is the amount of time that Big Ben is getting, both from the line and because he is stepping out of the pocket at just the right time.

Line looking good so far.

 

[ClownDogs]

TD Santonio Holmes.

Just letting you guys that keep on *****ing about the bad call/good call that Pitt scored in case you weren't paying attention.

Move on guys, move on.

 

[T Bell]

This is the buttwhoopin' I kinda thought it would beStillers = solid. Cardinals, get ready to face your first good team.

Pretty arrogant. The Panthers and Eagles are good teams. I also seem to recall a pretty unheralded Steelers team winning an unlikely Super Bowl a few years ago, so you also seem to have a short memory.

Come on, stop being low key and get excited man!

 

[GroveDiesel]

Jimmy Leonhard =

He and Ngata would look real good in a Bills uniform.

:finger:Although, I do like Whitner. Letting Leonhard go was stupid though, even if Simpson had a great rookie season.The Bills did upgrade from McGahee to Lynch though IMO.

 

[The Ref]

I love when people say that Big Ben isn't a good QB.

As a Pats fan I am forced hate the , but you can't deny he is one of the games best.

They aren't in the conversation with Pittsburgh. Sorry.

It's a stupid commercial, apparently aimed at guys who think that Jean Claude Van Dam is a god or something.

Well, at least the first game was good...

Cards are reminding me a bit of the Giants of last year. Super hot team winning games despite being the underdogs. Nobody believing in them. Going to be a huge underdog to either the Steelers or Ravens. Nobody believing that they deserve to be there or really have a chance to win.

 

[The Ref]

Anyone have an idea what the line will be if it ends up a Cardinal SB?

 

[BobbyLayne]

And this is the concern with Flacco and the Ravens. They really aren't equipped to come from behind, and score TDs when they need to.

One TD from the offense and one from Ed Reed; that's how they roll.Seriously, if the D makes plays, they'll get back in it.

They also drive through some sort of explosion, while listening to Linkin Park, because it could happen to anyone.

If you're fortunate enough to spend 5 minutes or 20 minutes around Big Ben, your life is better for it.

The cop and the Indian must have had the day off.

 

[Steel Dillo]

I'm glad they didn't give Holmes the catch on the goal line.

The less contraversy the better.

Pitt should win w/o any questionable calls.

 

[The Jerk]

Ravens on pace for 7 passing yards for entire game at this point.

I did not say that the Cardinals would not beat the Steelers. I merely implied that the Steelers are in a different class than the Panthers or the Eagles.The Cardinals are red hot, I wouldn't pick against them at all. They got a little complacent against Philly today for a while. They won't have to worry about complacency on 2/1.

The D made a big play. The O went 4 plays for 9 yards.

If you look at it, the Falcons were ok but you had them at home so you should win. Jake Delhomme and abandoning the run won the Cards their second, and Philadelphia pretty much took a whole half off today. Cards are ok, nothing more.

 

[treat88]

Woodley is stepping up big so far.

 

[Yenrub]

Nice stiff arm by Rice

 

[timschochet]

Some missed tackles on that pass to Rice. A big one by Farrior. He just redeemed himself though.

They wouldn't be huge underdogs to the Ravens, they might even be favored.

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Are the Raven WRs running right into the Pitt DBs? All kinds of time and nobody there.

I would have said the same thing if it ways the other way around

 

[BobbyLayne]

Ah, the old 11 step drop to buy more time. Finally a completion to a WR.

 

[JZilla]

Ah, the old 11 step drop to buy more time.

That's the old Jim Harbaugh special

 

[timschochet]

Uh oh, that's James Harrison.

 

[The Jerk]

OK might be enough if Ward and now Harrison are injured. More probably to come in the second half. Also, don't count the Ravens out. They won't quit.

Now flying over jumps with flamethrowers. This is a great series of commercials!

Ah yes, the Backpeddle. The Steelers "are in a different class" but "I wouldn't pick against the Cardinals" - this way I'm not wrong no matter what happens.

 

[T Bell]

Is anyone else doubting that the Ravens can score >13 points to win this game, even with an overtime?

You think I'm selling a back? What part of "the Eagles and the Panthers suck" are you missing?

 

[timschochet]

Is anyone else doubting that the Ravens can score >13 points to win this game, even with an overtime?

Nope. That's why this game is nowhere near over and the Steelers need to find a way to score a bunch more points. If they go into a shell offensively, they will lose this game.

 

[Britney Spears]

Zzzzzzzzzz

I sure am. And I'm not suggesting the Steelers change what they're doing, either. But I'm just not seeing much chance for the Ravens offense to win this game. Ed Reed will need to work his magic IMHO for the Ravens to come back. This isn't merely based upon the "0" on the scoreboard, either. They just can't seem to do anything against that defense.

Running the ball up the middle for a yard or two twice in a row is pretty shell like, BTW.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone use the term "offensive shell" before.

 

[Routilla]

Zzzzzzzzzz

 

[timschochet]

Man, how clutch has Ben been the last two weeks on third and long?

Smart inside the 20 midway through the second quarter when your defense has been dominant.

 

[Big Rocks]

That looks like a catch

 

[The Jerk]

Harbaugh going to the well once to often on challenges. Now they're out for the rest of the game. I like him a lot, but that might arguably be a classic "rookie" move. You don't want to be unable to challenge a huge second half play unless you're certain you're right and can get that third challenge for getting the first two right.l

Yeah the Ravens have been in this situation twice this year and they got crushed both times (IND and NYG). Flacco has the arm to make a big play or two but as a team they have not shown any ability to come back this year, even a little. I'm calling this one over.

 

[FlapJacks]

I thought they got rid of the "football move" rule? Isn't the rule now you have to control the ball all the way to the ground now?Maybe I imagined this rule change.

So if I catch the ball, run forty yards and drop it, it's incomplete?

Yeah, that's comparable.

It pretty much is, as he had taken three steps with the ball...

No, because you aren't likely to be "going to the ground" for 40 yards. See my example above, however.

He made three steps and a hand plant - he was no longer "going to the ground" -- he had successfully landed and was proceeding.
