Divisional Round Game Thread - SD Chargers at Pittsburgh Steelers (1 Viewer)

[brutha]

Wit the exception of that one return by Sproles, that was as dominant of a single quarter as I have ever witnessed, even though the scoreboard doesn't reflect it.

They must've heard you, did you see those stats wowstupid to go for it there IMO. should took the pts

 

[jonessed]

Steelers pretty much gave them a last gasp of hope. Let' see what SD does with it.

 

[belljr]

like the call to go for it... terrible play... FB dive????

 

[JZilla]

Oh Howie, I want to buy 5 Chevies just for you

 

[geoff8695]

Shoulda let Big Ben sneak it in... Bad call IMO

 

[ArcticEdge]

Ruh Roh..

 

[timschochet]

All this Ravens fan has to say is BRING ON THOSE STEELERS!

I can't wait to beat them on our way to the Superbowl!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm very nervous.

 

[fred_1_15301]

It's the Steeler's goal line offense. Easily the worst in the league.

That FB doesn't really know how to get an extra few inches at all. Not his gig, though, the man can block.

 

[Die]

Chargers overall playing a sloppy game. Missed tackles, including on the Steelers TD return. Players out of position. Punt hits a Charger in the head.

 

[massraider]

Dang.

 

[jonessed]

Rivers has to get rid of that. He had time.

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

So with all the lame roughing the passer penalties in the NFL, how is that not one of them? Actually, I'm pretty sure it is one of them. Rather, how is that not called?

 

[the Jag Zone]

Woodley tryin to play "turkey Jones" on Rivers..

should have been a call there..

 

[treat88]

Suplex!

You guys calling for a flag can't be serious. It is football isn't it?

I agree. Russell or Ben .... not Davis

 

[Ghost Rider]

LOL at Rivers whining about being tackled too hard. It is TACKLE FOOTBALL!

Edit: I realize lesser tackles have been whistled for roughing the passer this season, which is lame.

 

[JZilla]

Getting kinda sad now. Reminds me of Delhomme's presser.

Because Rivers was trying to fight his way out of it.

I know you don't like Rivers, but he did what just about any QB would do. He had a legitimate gripe.

 

[Britney Spears]

Game is getting boring for non-Steeler fans at this point.

 

[Ghost Rider]

No, he didn't. The whistle had not blown. He was tackled. Again, this is tackle football, ya know.

 

[the Jag Zone]

Suplex!You guys calling for a flag can't be serious. It is football isn't it?

I don't disagree..but it IS a Rule..and callin' it in one game and not another is an issue..now the Stiller defenders are starting to act like Ray Ray and the Ravens again..

 

[timschochet]

I would like to know what Woodley is supposed to do. He has Rivers in his grasp, but they haven't called any whistle. Rivers is a big strong man, and he's fighting to get out of the grasp. Woodley HAS to bring him down.

 

[Despyzer]

LOL at Rivers whining about being tackled too hard. It is TACKLE FOOTBALL!

I just now realized that I have never seen you and Jay Cutler in the same room.

 

[treat88]

He had a legitimate gripe.

Jason Campbell didn't have a gripe either.It's not a penalty.

Cutler blew it. Let it go.

 

[massraider]

Eric Weddle showing why the Chargers traded 15 draft picks for him.

 

[brutha]

?? I did not see a pass int. on that call. weak.

 

[geoff8695]

Give credit to San Diego for gutting it out on that goal line stand, but if they don't force a turnover this is going to get ugly.

Uh-oh! The dreaded end zone PI call!

Now maybe Ben will get to sneak it in.

 

[timschochet]

Well, that makes up for it.

 

[belljr]

I would have let Davis run it....

 

[fred_1_15301]

I think that was a bad PI call.

 

[jonessed]

He had a legitimate gripe.

Jason Campbell didn't have a gripe either.It's no a penalty.

It was close. Most QBs would have made a case. I don't think Rivers did anything all that out of the ordinary.

 

[JohnnyU]

I think that was a bad PI call.

I bet the Colts thought the same thing last week, except it was defensive holding

 

[timschochet]

Now we can start talking about the Ravens. Man do I hate the Ravens. Gonna be a tough game though.

Here's hoping for a Steagles Superbowl!!

What does Cutler have to do with this game? Try to stay on topic in a game thread, please. TIA. Also, game over.

 

[the Jag Zone]

wait..

how do you get a P I call on that one and a no call on the one to V Jax (that he caught on the first drive)..

more erratic officiating..

same stuff that ruins most high level games..

..should be a head knocker next week..

hope the officials don't screw that one up like they did the last time they played..

 

[DanFouts]

GG steelers.....your D is Nasty....

Good luck v Ravens...should be a nice one!

 

[Despyzer]

Let's stop all of the pissing and moaning about the calls. They are having no bearing on the outcome of this game whatsoever.

 

[steviey]

I got money on the Steelers and I thought it was weak too. Always interesting how people see things differently. Commentators did not even question it or show a replay.

 

[massraider]

Weddle clearly grabbed his arm. That was pass interference.

 

[treat88]

Weak. Just 100% weak.Seahawk fan?

 

[belljr]

rewinding it ... you clearly see Waddell pull Nate left arm well before the ball got there.

 

[fred_1_15301]

........anyone who would seriously blame the outcome of this game on officiating is just a pure Steeler hater.

 

[timschochet]

I think the Chargers are one or two players away from being champion, and that one player might be Shawn Merriman.But that's based on whether or not LT is healthy next year. I want to think that this year was an abberation, and that he still can be the dynamic runner he once was. I hope so.

Like every DB does when they are defending you mean?
