Game Thread W12 - Pittsburgh V Baltimore (1 Viewer)

Win or lose, I've been impressed with what I've seen from Dixon tonight. I didn't even expect it to be nearly this close at the end of the game with him under center tonight. He's made some plays, hasn't made mistakes, and had a few other big plays called back due to penalties... that run early in the game that was called back was huge.

Time to finish it off with a game winning OT drive, Dennis.

 
They need to do something to get Rice out in patterns instead of blocking every play. He is the juice that makes this O go.

 
What happened to the rule about the offense fumbling forward under 2 minutes?
Yup... Bad call by the refs. Should have been spotted at the 42. I thought Michaels was about to point that out, but he didn't finish his statement.Anyway, great job by the Ravens ST to get that kick off.And, OT... :yes:
 
Clayton is a moron for that offensive pass interference penalty. Might cost them the game.

Obviously, I'm a huge Oregon :homer: , 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.
:yes: This guys knows things!

What a terrible play by Baltimore. A screen would've picked up 10 yards and made for an easy FG. Meanwhile Flacco stands in through a blitz..

Pitt needs to run the ball. If they do they'll probably win.

Baltimore needs to sit in a zone again and wait for Dixon to give Ed Reed a gift.

Good question. Where was that ball spotted?
3-9-PIT 34 (:25) (Shotgun) J.Flacco sacked at PIT 42 for -8 yards (J.Farrior). FUMBLES (J.Farrior) [J.Farrior], recovered by BLT-B.Grubbs at PIT 37. B.Grubbs to PIT 37 for no gain (D.Townsend).4-12-PIT 37 (:04) (Field Goal formation) B.Cundiff 56 yard field goal is No Good, Short, Center-M.Katula, Holder-S.Koch.

That could have raised quite an issue if Cundiff made that FG.

Talking about it now
 
I understand the logic going deep to Mike Wallace.....

....but Mendenhall was wide open in the flat with no one within 15 yards of him on the left.

 
Not sure why you'd put it all on Dixon from the pocket on back to back passes there.
They need to get the ball downfield to take a shot at the win, Dixon has looked relatively poised/mobile back there and the D is tired, therefore the pass rush isn't as fierce.This is overtime. No matter what, you try and put yourself in position to win the game.

Another questionable non PI call for the Steelers.Not a very well officiated game.
New around here? The NFL always wants the Steelers to win.
Hey, it appears the NFL does want the Steelers to win! Even the Refs help break up pass plays for them!Really questionable play selection for Baltimore there. Rice has gashed Pitt. Not sure why they arent using him.
