***Divisional Round Game Thread*** Baltimore at Pittsburgh (1 Viewer)

[Steve Tasker]

He was DOWN.

Mmmmmm no he was not.

Will never know, no challenge.

Uhhh he was not even close to down.

On the back side angle, his knee was down. But they never showed that view. The challenge would have picked that up.

Good shtick here.

Steelers need to create something on the next possession. They get the ball after the break but need to minimize the effects of their sloppy play rather soon or else the uphill climb will be very steep.Right now it's not looking like the Steelers have what it takes. Of course that could change but Big Ben is either holding the ball too long or the o-line can't hold up long enough. Admittedly it's the turnovers hat kill 'em so there's still some hope if they can get some swagger back.

Their offensive line sucks. They have done well this year to work around it, but you can't really work around a gap like that in the playoffs.

 

[Maroney=Speed]

I'm challenging that call.

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

I still think this game still comes down to a field goal.

Of course it's possible, but you have to like that Ravens D playing with a 2-TD lead.

 

[Billy Bats]

I cant believe how this game is going so far. The Steelers seem disinterested.

 

[jojoh07]

suggs is a bad bad man

 

[Choke]

### #### our guards are horrendous.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

first down, oh wait no it isn't

 

[Dr. Gobbler]

Suggs walkin the talk. Ben is getting raped back there...

 

[Balco]

I cant believe how this game is going so far. The Steelers seem disinterested.

Agreed. Not a good idea in a playoff game, especially against a team like the Ravens. The Ravens are bringing it to them, and the Steelers have no answers. Ben is holding it way too long, and the line can't block anybody.

[Popinski]

That was NOT a delay of game. Tomlin should challenge.

 

[D'OHtis]

Glad to see Dierdorf can humor himself

 

[Tecumseh]

Well, that's a switch.

 

[j3r3m3y]

"That's a real whiff. Not good."

Stellar commentary Dierdork

 

[Ned]

Mike Tomlin http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive...80_1112292a.jpg what?

 

[Maroney=Speed]

i never understood that comment, these are professional players they are trying to play as well as possible, they are not cats that get distracted by a string and loose interest.I think both teams are interested in this game.

 

[shredhead]

I like watching teams punch the Steelers in the mouth and steal their lunch money.

 

[Maroney=Speed]

IF the Steelers score a TD on this drive, it would be HUGE.

 

[The_Man]

This is how teams attacked the Ravens all year - spread them out and go no-huddle. Harbaugh should have called a timeout before they crossed midfield

Steelers score here and get the ball after halftime and it's a tossup game again

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

IF the Steelers score a TD on this drive, it would be HUGE.

True. And similarly, if they turn the ball over again it would be crippling.

 

[D'OHtis]

IF the Steelers score a TD on this drive, it would be HUGE.

It would bring them one score closer.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Man I can't get enough of RAP commercials. Ya HEARD!!!

If it is not disinterest it is a lack of preparedness. The Ravens are punching the Steelers in the mouth, and they are Whimpering and becoming tentative. Especially on O.

Texans absolutely torched Baltimore doing this in the second half of their game.

now he calls to - too late

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

All these NFL players with all those tats...they will never get a job in the corporate world. No one would hire a thug with that much ink.

 

[Maroney=Speed]

IF the Steelers score a TD on this drive, it would be HUGE.

do you have a Twitter account?

Yep I told Tomlin to challenge that openiung kickoff.

 

[Tecumseh]

Hey Troy- that's how you tackle.

 

[whitem0nkey]

I just got a tweet from "The 100 Years War", it thinks this game is being dragged out.

[SHIZNITTTT]

Man that was really tricky! Pittsburgh should get a penalty for looking silly.

 

[Popinski]

For a moment there, Big Ben struck fear in the hearts of Baltimore's secondary.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Oh my

 

[Tecumseh]

 

[Dexter Manley]

JOHN 3:16

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

That kicker needs to go punch out a towel dispenser ASAP.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Yes, yes sometimes it starts out between the uprights and then it bends. OOF!

 

[Dr. Gobbler]

NOONAN!!!

 

[theplayer11]

Yuck..stop the close ups of Big Ben..he is one ugly dude.

[dickey moe]

"Again, Heinz field gets into the head of field goal kickers!"

For Jeff Reed, the Steelers kicker?

Jesus, Dierdorf, you're senile.

 

[The_Man]

dierdorf and gumbel apparently have never seen a team try to draw an opponent offside before

still -- not crazy about Bmore letting the clock run down there with 2 timeouts. As bad as Pitt's kickoff coverage is, I would call timeout and see if you can do something on the return and/or with the two-minute drill -- still not fully trusting Flacco

 

[IvanKaramazov]

So I'm late to this thread. Has anybody mentioned the bad 1st quarter officiating or Tomlin's stupid challenges yet?

Well obviously they're interested in playing football. I'm just trying to describe the feeling I have while watching the game. They're playing on their home field, and like Balco said they're getting punched in the mouth and not fighting back it seems. Also watching the ball fall at your own 10 yard line without hearing a whislte and no one has the common sense to even think about getting on it, well disinterested is the feeling I get.

 

[Balco]

Nope.

I still think this game still comes down to a field goal.

Was that the field goal that this game comes down to?
