Chargers need some better WRs too. Where has Chris Chambers been in this game?

 

[CrossEyed]

NEXT!!!

 

[Despyzer]

Keisel says that Merriman isn't here to do a stupid sack dance, so he'll do one.

They have good receivers. Rivers hasn't had much time. Didn't have much time in the Colts game either.They need Merriman back more than anything.

Vjax, Chambers and Gates. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[timschochet]

Still a lot of time left. Steelers can't relax.

 

[CrossEyed]

Nice tackle against Harrison.

 

[belljr]

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

Like every DB does when they are defending you mean?

Yes every DB pulls down one arm of every wide receiver before the ball gets there as he's catching it...

 

[DPRugby]

Nice game Steelers. Way to many mistakes for the Chargers to overcome against a scary good defense. I thought we had a glimmer of hope after the long kick return but that was short lived.

Looking at the teams left I think you got the inside track on the Lombardi Trophy (no jinx). Someone posted something about you guys winning Superbowls when you have the Defensive POTY. Looks like that could come true again and you'd have one for the thumb.

Now we gotta live with Norv for another year. Friggin' wonderful.

 

[steviey]

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

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.

They showed the replay of him grabbing the left arm and holding it down. Not sure what broadcast you are watching.

CBS out of Uganda.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

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!!

I say Pitt -4O/U 37.5

We already have one for the thumb. Working on a new hand now.

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

what game are you watching.. every call affects a game in some fashion..

Weddle clearly grabbed his arm. That was pass interference.

just like Taylor clearly grabbed V Jax on the one in the first drive that wasn't called.....that's what I call consistency...and the NFL officiating in that regard gets worse week to week and year to year..when people who bet close matchups make their bet one way or another because of the crew that is officiating there's a problem.. matter of fact.. that's probably why I'm gonna hit big on this Game..

 

[JoeSteeler]

Still lots of time left here...

 

[timschochet]

This game is not over, if they get a quick TD.

 

[ArcticEdge]

NANNEE!!!!

 

[brutha]

LMAO @ that "roughing the passer" - I've seen a ton of non-calls like that over the years but that was THE worst. Did Rivers get a boo-boo?? refs are simply horrible this year.

Missing one call doesn't mean you don't call it later.pathetic roughing the passer call.

 

[Die]

Steelers should win. The Ravens have shown no ability to really move the ball against the Steelers in 2 games. I'm thinking 17-10 steelers.

Sorry, I meant the other thumb. Unless you want to wear it on the little pinky of your other hand, mobster style.

Look fella, this game is winning me money. In addition, after watching all four games this weekend I am calling the Steelers to win it all. They look like the best team to me. It just looked like a bit of a weak call that made a huge difference in the game. Keep in mind I have still only seen it once.

Don't try that stuff here...

 

[timschochet]

Very impressive drive by Rivers. Plenty of time left. The Steelers are going to need another long drive.

 

[the Jag Zone]

Seahawk fan?

Good Lord NOO!!!

 

[CrossEyed]

I hate when defenses lay off after they've been dominating the whole game.

 

[jonessed]

LMAO @ that "roughing the passer" - I've seen a ton of non-calls like that over the years but that was THE worst. Did Rivers get a boo-boo?? refs are simply horrible this year.

They always call that. It's not really the refs fault. The rule is written without much wiggle room.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Steelers should win. The Ravens have shown no ability to really move the ball against the Steelers in 2 games.

Um, did you miss the first game between them this season?

 

[Lord Lucan]

Gates wasn't on the field at all in that last drive I think.

Take our word for it. pass interference.

they need nothing of the kind, but it would be a nice way to ice the game.

I don't know, looked pretty clear that he grabbed his arm before the ball got there.

 

[treat88]

Seahawk fan?

Good Lord NOO!!!

Just checking.Started to sound a lot like one with the ref schtick.

 

[Woozy Foozy]

OK. I'm baaack. Did I miss any good plays by the Chargers?

You only see 1 angle and he grabs it down, not like the running down the sidelines hand checking kind of way but the I'm diving for the ball but too early.Plus you don't see the other side of the play Still a lot of time.....

True. It's not really Rivers' fault that he was hit by a forearm in the face at the same time that the NFL has a rule against that.

If baby Jesus himself came down and started playing for the Chargers they still couldn't pull this game out. No reverse jinx, just the facts.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

What? The Steelers blitzed probably more on that drive than any other. They certainly weren't "laying off".

 

[Britney Spears]

Mewelde didn't exactly look like he wanted to run that one back.

 

[jonessed]

Good throw. Good coverage.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Way to stop the clock and waste a down..

 

[CrossEyed]

Almost a great catch.

 

[Woozy Foozy]

Almost a great catch.

Almost doesn't count. Go Chargers!

 

[timschochet]

Wow, Steelers are not playing not to lose, anyhow. That playcall took a lot of cojones.

 

[brutha]

it is the ref's fault cuz I'm pretty sure the rule doesn't say it's roughing if you so much as touch or graze the QB a split second after he throws it. laughable, horrible call (but good point that the rule probably needs rewritten)PS credit to PIT to go for the kill, but I would have tried short, middle of the field passes.

He was going for the ball though.... he should get some benefit

They had a low average per play that game. The Ravens just ran a lot more plays. But really they didn't move it well at all. That's why even though the Steelers were forced into numberous 3 n outs, they still won.

Seahawk fan?

Just checking.Started to sound a lot like one with the ref schtick.

nope.. just an Official, Football Coach, Jaguar Fan, and overall Fan of the Game..don't hold any of it against me though..

 

[belljr]

wow...

 

[FreeBaGeL]

What the heck is that guy doing looking at the WR while he sprints over there jumping the pass? That doesn't even make sense. If he's looking back at the QB while making the break like pretty much anyone with common sense would do then he probably picks that one off.

 

[jonessed]

No pass rush again. That's been their achilles heel all season.
