Game Thread W2 - Pittsburgh V Cleveland (1 Viewer)

[Sheriff66]

Seems like everyone loves Hines Ward, but man it annoys me the way he ALWAYS laughs (and not subtlely, he does it with a huge teeth flashing smile) when he drops the ball. That would piss me off as a QB.

I was going to post the same thing.

I used to think it was great watching his "joy of the game" as he smiles when he gets him, smiles when he drop the ball, smiles when he fumbles.

Now I think I find it kinda annoying and would like to see him get pissed at some of those things.

I know it's nick picky, but it's really beginning to irritate me.

Ward smiles because he knows that he gets away with more cheap shots than anyone in the league....That's coming from a Steelers fan.

When Ward does it= When Kordell used to do it=

Winslow catches everything.

 

[Sheriff66]

Dumb penalty Woodley, knew that flag was coming

[Tecumseh]

aaaaaaaand another drop.

 

[Fallerjw]

great comment:

"The Browns scored on their second drive last week, then scored a meaningless FG late. Other than that they haven't sniffed the end zone this year. Except in the first half and now."

I agree completely, how is he supposed to stop tackling?

He drove Anderson into the ground, penalty every time...

Ya, but that one is a different variety. He got smacked pretty good. Wasn't his, now normal, hit the hands and drop it. The DB is still down on the ground hearing bells. Braylon struggled to shake the cobwebs from his head too.That one counts as a 1/2 drop.

How do you stop gravity there?

 

[CrossEyed]

Winslow catches everything.

Edwards doesn't.

You can't drive a QB into the ground, that is a personal foul, that is the rule.

Was that close to a helmet to helmet hit?

 

[McBokonon]

Glad to hear Clark walked off under his own power. Hate the thought of Anthony Smith getting increased playing time. Tyrone Carter in now for Clark.

eta: Clark already back

You could see on the replay that he dropped it well before he got hit, probably in anticipation of it.You're gonna get hit either way...

Watch the replay. He dropped it before he got popped.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Winslow catches everything.

Edwards doesn't.

Maybe they should throw it to Winslow here then?

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Oh, for crying out loud.

 

[Fallerjw]

Steinbach has gotten destroyed on a few plays this drive. I wonder what's up with that?

 

[Sheriff66]

The ball was gone, he didn't have to pick him up and drive him into the ground.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

What a joke.

 

[urbanhack]

Somebody remind Braylon that the season has started.

Even if the ball is not gone, you cannot drive the QB into the ground, it's a penalty.

 

[Fallerjw]

Ironfoot Dawson drills it.

 

[McBokonon]

Let's stop trying to field kicks now, mmmmkay?

 

[ScoobyDoo]

And that's the micro view of the Cleveland Browns.

 

[chris1969]

That could have been game changing!

 

[Sheriff66]

Wow, that was close

I agree that you can't drive a QB into the ground, but I disagree that he did that.He wrapped up DA and landed on him. Hid didn't pick him up or drive him into the ground.

Yeah I remember Justin Smith (I think) got called for it on a sack against Tampa, it cost Cincy the game. Alotta complaining

FIRST DOWN !!!

He kept running through him and drove him to the ground, I knew a flag was coming immediatly.

 

[Fantasy Bum]

QUIT ####### GOING OFFSIDES!!

 

[chris1969]

Rodgers is looking great!

 

[Tecumseh]

What a shame.

 

[Vykng]

KO

 

[CrossEyed]

And why is that not a late hit?

 

[Ghost Rider]

This is one ugly game.

Cheap shot by Rodgers there that should have been a penalty.

 

[Wildcat]

Should have been roughing the passer there.

 

[Sputnikv8]

Kind of a cheap shot by Rodgers there. After the ball was gone he gave Ben a nice helmet to separated shoulder. Seemed clear that it was intentional.

 

[Fallerjw]

Agreed, ugly game. Cleveland has played terribly and are still in the game somehow.

 

[Vykng]

Reggie Bush gained some weight.

 

[chris1969]

And why is that not a late hit?

It was.

 

[Tecumseh]

That should have been roughing. No question.

 

[Sputnikv8]

After (or during) a good play by Cleveland, you can't help but wonder -- 'How will they screw this up'.

 

[Ghost Rider]

I thought so, too. And given how many times roughing the passer is called on plays where it was almost impossible for the defender to not hit the QB at all, to not call that one is just bad.

 

[Tar Heel Boy]

I have a feeling Big Ben is going to be really hurting after this game. THat was a big shot he took right on the shoulder.
