Divisional Round Game Thread - SD Chargers at Pittsburgh Steelers (2 Viewers)

[timschochet]

Somebody's going to get a turnover at some point.

Who told you that?

Actually it was Bill Cowher. He said there's going to be some turnovers in this game.

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Well, I feel a whole lot better right now than I did ten minutes ago.

I think we're all glad to hear that.

 

[Despyzer]

Well, I feel a whole lot better right now than I did ten minutes ago.

What did you read while you were in there?

 

[Smeagol]

I'm really getting sick of Cowher's homerism.

 

[uconnalum]

I have a feeling this game is going to get away from the Chargers if they don't stop trying to run Sproles inside there is nothing there. They need to use him on the edge. Turner has to adjust and use Sproles more on the edge or in the second layer right past the line of scrimmage. They are doing a good job with Gates in the middle of the field and using there WR's downfield. It's going to be a great 2nd half.

Cowher . "It doesn't look good for San Diego in the second half."

I'm normally very nervous in this type of game but for some reason, I'm not nervous at all. I think the Steelers are keeping the ball out of Ben's hands and reducing the opportunities for turnovers. I also think the defense has a handle on this game. I know I should be nervous but for some reason I'm just not. I fully expect the steelers to take control in the 2nd half.

 

[Woozy Foozy]

I have to do my laundry but will be back to cheer for the Chargers in the 4th quarter.

 

[timschochet]

Steelers need to impose their will here with a good drive.

 

[JZilla]

You're really just cheering for laundry right now, aren't you?

All temperature Cheer. {rimshot}

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Lay out for those Holmes. Come on!

 

[jonessed]

No pass rush by SD is getting them killed.

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Stalwart defense SD.

 

[Despyzer]

That was a masterful dissection of a defense.

 

[fred_1_15301]

No pass rush by SD is getting them killed.

.........Good for the Steelers offensive line after such a brutal season. I think we see what Big Ben is capable of when he has time to throw the damn ball!!!

 

[Eminence]

I really really really hate the Steelers.

 

[treat88]

Pitt is starting to own the trenches.

 

[identikit]

I really really really hate the Steelers.

Tough game for you then...

 

[Die]

Excellent protection of Roethlisberger making everything work.

 

[rzrback77]

Excellent runback by Sproles, his first big play of the game!

 

[timschochet]

Uh oh

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

LOLLYPOP GUILD IN THE HOUSE!

 

[fred_1_15301]

Uh oh

WHAT WAS THAT?????!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bostonfred]

Well that was a dramatic five seconds of play

 

[Despyzer]

I think it just became one of those days.

 

[timschochet]

Wow. Big play for the Steelers after that great run by Sproles!

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Steelers got a turn-over. Told you so.

 

[rzrback77]

huge turnover for the Steelers

 

[Ghost Rider]

Way to ruin that kickoff, Philip. I'll bet he is cursing at himself now.

 

[treat88]

There's the TO.

#1 D for a reason.

Big big play!

 

[Die]

It might have hit the ground. We haven't even seen some replays to be sure.

 

[timschochet]

LOLLYPOP GUILD IN THE HOUSE!

I defer to you, sir. Funniest post of the day.

 

[Bri]

challenge that

looked like a different steeler came up with the ball (50) then caught it (92)

 

[Despyzer]

I don't think Norv has a prayer on this challenge.

 

[Unwrittenlaw]

Ball is going back to SD. I can feel it!!

 

[Ghost Rider]

Okay, why does CBS have to go to another commercial there? You would think they would show the viewers various replays of the challenged play. But nah, that would make way too much sense.

[the Jag Zone]

Pitt is starting to own the trenches.

most NFL O' Lines that are worth a salt can block a 4 man rush..SD's Defense almost looks scared..first half.. periodic blitzes at least kept Ben having to think a bit..now 4 man rush and dropping to Zone on nearly every play that drive..now Pitt plays with the Lead ..call out the Dogs' and game over Norv..guys like A J Smith and Norv Turner deserve one another....tipped ball.. game probably over..

They were awful yesterday and just continuing the trend today.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I don't see that as conclusive evidence to overturn.

 

[Despyzer]

NFL Game Center says the call was challenged and upheld already.

 

[Die]

I think it hit the ground.

 

[Bri]

tough momentum changer

 

[jonessed]

I think it hit the ground.

They were going to go with whatever the call on the field was. Bad break for the Chargers.

 

[timschochet]

One more long drive, Steelers. Stick the dagger in.

 

[Britney Spears]

Rivers> You might want to try overhand when there's people in front of you.
