I've been waitin' all day for Sunday night.

I've been looking forward to this game more than any game this season. Not sure if it's just the intrigue of seeing how good this Dixon kid is or if it's the fact that we're playing the Ravens. Talk about pressure..........first NFL start on national TV on the road against the Ravens. Oh yeah.......and he just officially named the started yesterday.....................

 

[BobbyLayne]

He looked good in preseason...kid is a decent athlete.

[habsfan]

Holy hell, Rice hit that hole quick...

 

[Andrew74]

Looks like the vulture is back.

 

[steviey]

Effin vultures

This game might get ugly

This game might get ugly

The Steelers defense decided to quit before the game even started.

This d is freaking awful lately. And willie gay is worthless

F-U McGahee says this disgruntled Rice Owner!!

Gay is nothing more than a nickel back at best. They should have resigned McFadden.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Best thing he's going for him is taking off like that (too bad they held)

 

[fasteddie_21]

Obviously, I'm a huge Oregon , but...Dixon has an EXCELLENT touch on the deep ball. I am very, very excited to see the best Duck QB in memory get a shot. He can pass out of the pocket as well as extend plays w/ his legs and passes on the run very well. He's been in the system for a couple of years now, so he should know the offense well. Granted, Ed Reed and Ray Lewis is not exactly how you want your first start, but this Baltimore Def is NOT the 2000 defense. I think Miller and Ward are both going to be great starts this week.I really think he surprises you guys, in a good way.

 

[BobbyLayne]

About what I expected from the Stillers game plan wise so far; Dixon has looked like a good game manager through the first.

 

[KellysHeroes]

This game is going to be quick w/ all these running plays

 

[fred_1_15301]

Very nice throw by Dixon there........

 

[Big Rocks]

Wow, didn't expect that.

 

[KellysHeroes]

did Ben really look excited, I don't think so

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Two nice throws by Double D on that drive, actually.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Game on baby...........

 

[timschochet]

That's the way, Dixon! Yessss

 

[ChargersOH]

Does Baltimore actually have corners on the field for this game?

I haven't seen anyone covered yet.

 

[duece2626]

So much for benching Holmes with Dixon at QB :-(

[Spartans346]

Does Big Ben have a chew in?

 

[Memphis Foundry]

Hey, Steeler play-action football -- I thought it had been stricken from the playbook.

 

[Steelfan7]

Does Baltimore actually have corners on the field for this game?I haven't seen anyone covered yet.

That has been Baltimore's MO the entire season.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

That has been Baltimore's MO the entire season.

Certainly has been lately.And it's exactly why the Steelers shouldn't be afraid to let Dixon throw. Especially if the run game keeps making the PA work that well.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

As much as I loathe Carey Davis....I hope every member of the Steelers coverage team saw how he actually tackled a guy on a return, after he'd gained a little yardage, and took note for future kick returns.

 

[McBokonon]

did Ben really look excited, I don't think so

No, he was clearly faking enthusiasm because his starting job is in danger.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

I would give even odds that if Dixon throws for 3 TDs this game(win or lose) that at least several dozen yiinzers call into talk radio shows tomorrow saying he should start.

 

[cr8f]

What's with this McGahee crap? Get this vulture off the field.

 

[ChargersOH]

What happened to Todd Heap? With Polamalu out, I figure the middle of the field would be ripe, but I haven't seen a toss thrown his way yet, or to any TE.

 

[meatwad1]

WTF? Why is Mcgahee in?! What a f'n joke..if Ravens lose this....we need to start the FIRE HARBAUGH thread.

 

[massraider]

Hey, why aren't my fantasy players scoring more??

 

[strong]

watch ward

his presnap posture is signaling run or pass

 

[drew726]

Pretty sure I'm going to lose my game.

-Rice owner

 

[cr8f]

It's McGahee's fault.

 

[timschochet]

Dixon showing great composure so far.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Dixon showing great composure so far.

Outside of that first pass of the game, he's looked pretty damn good.

 

[timschochet]

I'm amazed at how much weight Dixon's put on his legs. At Oregon, he had the skinniest legs I had ever seen on a QB. Looked like pencils.

 

[NoFBinLA]

Dixon showing great composure so far.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Colinsworth agreeing with a call that favors the Steelers? **checks sky for Horsemen**

 

[massraider]

Spaeth with a brutal hold.

 

[Andrew74]

I thought for a sec they weren't going to call that hold.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Sucks that Moore held, but that was an absolute amazing display of body control by Holmes there.
