I disagree on that 3rd and long call.Rod Smith is too good not to try and get him the ball. 30 yards is pretty easy for Elam.Spread the formation, put Bell in the backfield, bring Putz back in. At least try for 7.

I'm fine with it ... maybe borderline dirty, but it's probably exactly what he was taught to do in that situation.no...it was just obvious the ball had gone by and Lelie had let up - then the defender speared him helmet first in the small of the back....i'm not crying, just making an observation.why, because he hit him after a tipped ball?pretty dirty hit on Lelie if you ask me

You kinda have to - it helps make up for all the Lynch cheap shots we'll see today.no...it was just obvious the ball had gone by and Lelie had let up - then the defender speared him helmet first in the small of the back....i'm not crying, just making an observation.why, because he hit him after a tipped ball?pretty dirty hit on Lelie if you ask me

I came back to get clarification, then was baited in by my own fans' whining.

How is Cedrick Wilson of all WRs in the NFL torching Denver?

Looks like Pitt is targeting the Wilson / Foxworth matchup. Interesting.

single coverage
jeff_eaglz
Footballguy
Two catches, 29 yards, 1 TD.Torching?
Wilson was wide open because Foxworth was peeking in the backfield in the red zone. Too much "I wanna be like Champ" out of him there.
Just a good route / throw on the 2nd catch.
Carry on.

Or if they are, it's just not bothering Roethlisberger. He's made some great throws with people in his face.

And he recovered it.what a crock of ####...that's a friggin fumble

Eight in the box (including pseudo-LB Lynch). What do you expect?

Bad TV coverage, but Wilson had no defender close to him. Foxworth should be pressing on a blitz.

He's made 2-3 stupid ones also, but they haven't hurt him yet.

Steelers now 4/5 on 3rd down. IIRC, they aren't a great 3rd down team, either. All via pass.

then change the tuck rule, not the call on the field.so. should have been 2nd and 17, not 2nd and 10. moot point, but the refs were wrong: again.And he recovered it.what a crock of ####...that's a friggin fumble

Denver's D isn't really even playing that badly, but giving up 5 out of 6 3rd down plays has made it really tough. A lot of 3rd-and-long conversions, too.

Tuck rule wasn't even in effect there...watch it again: he finished pulling it down and then knocked it out of his throwing and with the other one....AFTER he had pulled it down.then change the tuck rule, not the call on the field.so. should have been 2nd and 17, not 2nd and 10. moot point, but the refs were wrong: again.And he recovered it.what a crock of ####...that's a friggin fumble

Another 3rd-and-long now. Must-stop for Denver.
jeff_eaglz
Footballguy
Exactly.I said earlier that 3rd down conversions matter just as much as turnovers.
Denver needs to make some stops.

Unbelievable. The story this half has absolutely nothing to do with the refs, who I feel have done a great job.
It's all about 3rd-down defense for Denver.

I disagree. These long drives are awful. First and goal now. Haven't forced a single punt. Denver's D is killing them. They can't get the ball back for their offense until points are on the board, and Pittsburgh is about to go up two scores. While practically running out the entire second quarter on this 14-15 play drive.

Steelers are MONEY on 3rd down conversions!!!
