Harrison!

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Winslow rocks.

 

[Fallerjw]

Winslow is amazing. Maybe the announcers will get off Polamalu's jock now.

 

[Tecumseh]

Wooooo!

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Polamalu should've just tackled Winslow after the ball got knocked up into the air.

 

[CrossEyed]

Troy should have just tackled Winslow on that play,

 

[kaa]

Rodgers just planted his helmet into Brittle Ben's bum shoulder and he walked off slowly.

 

[jwojdylo]

so i just got in, I missed the ENTIRE day of football, pittsburgh looks good or no?

 

[Tecumseh]

Nice little drive here.

 

[Sheriff66]

And why is that not a late hit?

 

[Tecumseh]

Coverage sack.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Wow, ballsy throwing to Braylon McDrops on 3rd down.

 

[Tecumseh]

Can't believe he caught it!

 

[kaa]

5:00 left, at the Steeler 26. Down 10-3. Do you run the hurry up to try to score quickly and get the ball back, or milk the clock and play for OT?

 

[kaa]

Apparently the Browns are trying to run the clock out and kick a FG.

You haven't scored a TD all game, you take it whenever you can get it.

I don't think they are in a hurry. Sure looked like he got hit before the ball was there.

 

[kaa]

You've gotta be kidding me. You are going to kick the FG here?

 

[ScoobyDoo]

And throw to McDropsies instead of the TE. Thanks Anderson.

 

[CrossEyed]

Game over.

 

[chris1969]

Edwards was hit early on that play.

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Why is that the right call as Madden and Michaels said?

 

[Charlie Harper]

Two weeks in a row Romeo makes absolutely horrible calls for FGs. Just freakin horrible.

 

[kaa]

Well they still need a TD but now they need the ball back too...

 

[Tecumseh]

You've gotta be kidding me. You are going to kick the FG here?

They have to. The defense has played well enough to give them a shot at a last drive.

McFadden had position.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Edwards was hit early on that play.

No. If anything, the DB had position, and Edwards ran into him going for the ball.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

having not read the thread, I'm going to agree - you should not have kicked the FG with 3:20 left and down by 7.

I think even Bray is so used to dropping the ball, he doesn't even put up a fight to the refs when there IS pass interference. Ugh... the kids confidence is shattered and its only week 2? Crap.

 

[Vykng]

Crennel has got to be worried about his job right now.

 

[Charlie Harper]

Why is that the right call as Madden and Michaels said?

It isn't right. There isn't even an argument you can make for it being remotely close to being right.

 

[Pat Patriot]

Why is that the right call as Madden and Michaels said?

Madden is a jackass. There is no way that is the right move. If you were down 6 yes, down 7, NO WAY!

 

[kaa]

Why is that the right call as Madden and Michaels said?

I have no idea. If you fail on 4th down you need to get the ball back and score a TD. If you hit the FG you are in the exact same position.

 

[Charlie Harper]

You've gotta be kidding me. You are going to kick the FG here?

They have to. The defense has played well enough to give them a shot at a last drive.

Seriously??? If they go for it and miss their defense can still get them the ball back. A FG does nothing for them.

 

[kaa]

I hate the onside kick too. The field is wet and there's an increased likelihood the Steelers may muff a conventional kick. By doing an onside kick, you just made it easier to recover it AND give them good field position to start.

 

[NagurskiToKarr]

So clearly, you do have an idea.

 

[Tecumseh]

Why is that the right call as Madden and Michaels said?

It isn't right. There isn't even an argument you can make for it being remotely close to being right.

It's absolutely right. The defense has held, they have all 3 time outs. Hold Pitt to 3 and out and they are driving for the win rather than the tie. 4th and 7 is too long to risk.

 

[NagurskiToKarr]

That wasn't an onside kick.

EXACTLY. If you trust your defense then going for 4th down is STILL no problem.

 

[Fallerjw]

Crennel has got to be worried about his job right now.

How so? They have played 2 of the top 5 or 7 teams in the league now. The defense looked pretty good tonight except for the DBs on a couple of plays. If anything they looked much better tonight.

 

[Tecumseh]

They have to. The defense has played well enough to give them a shot at a last drive.

A FG gives them a chance at the win.

That wasn't an onside kick.

I know that I didn't want to waste time trying to distinguish the difference between that and a conventional kick...

You usually are good at backpedaling.This isn't one of those times.

A FG gives them a chance at the win.

Your logic is very bad...

 

[Pat Patriot]

The deflation factor? Yeah, I am sure the whole Cleveland offense was ELATED to kick that FG after a 7 minute drive.

K.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Wide open. 8 years to throw that ball.

 

[Fallerjw]

The Browns DBs haven't done them any favors at all tonight.

 

[Tecumseh]

You can't expect the DB's to cover for 20 seconds.
