LOL@ Faulk still being 3rd in receptions since 2001.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Nice sign, @home even.

No Marty

Ball

Charges win

 

[Despyzer]

Yay! Turner taking the carries now! Look, they are only up by 4 and Tomlinson already relinquished the reigns.

Seriously... stop. All you are accomplishing is making yourself look ignorant.

 

[EdwardCat]

Hello, I'm the guy that just acquired Tomlinson in a trade this past week.

Welcome to the over-hype that is Tomlinson. He'll lead you to expect big #s and let you down when you need him most.

Okay, now you are just talking stupid.

It is schtick. He's been posting the same thing for two years.

Nah, it's true. Last year he posted big #s and then died just as the fantasy post-season started. Not that he cares about fantasy football. However, he has a knack for putting up small #s when fantasy players need him to score big.

 

[Despyzer]

Rivers is looking SHARP now.

 

[mojorizin]

LEON!!!

 

[cowboyz]

#86 chargers is a really big boy

 

[BGP]

I dunno. I'm just not impressed by the Steelers DL this year. Too inconsistent. They show flashes, but then they just lose it for long stretches.

 

[poopdawg]

Well time for that stat.The last time the Cowher Steelers trailed in the 4th quarter and won in the regular season against a team that won 10+ games was 1997. The only time since 1997 was against the Jets in the 2004 playoff game where Herm shut his offense down and tried a long FG in Heinz field, which is a terrible field to kick on.

You already tried that stupid #### before. Nice try.

TE Maneamula (sp)

 

[Statorama]

Give credit where it's due. The Chargers have made some great halftime adjustments.

 

[chris1969]

Nice Blitz!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Larry Foote!

 

[jonessed]

Either offsides or Rivers got his snap count timed pefectly.

 

[BGP]

Well, this is where Cowher fails. Trailing in the 4th against good teams.

 

[poopdawg]

They certainly have. I thought this one was in the bag.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

I guess I have to at least appreciate the fact that they tried to get the ball to LT for a score.

Now, keep Hines Ward away from the ball.

 

[Lauryn]

Well, this is where Cowher fails. Trailing in the 4th against good teams.

boy you're annoying... and i don't even like the steelers

 

[EdwardCat]

5/27 or 11/34...hmm....

 

[The Jerk]

Flashback to Cris Carter catching a TD as (of just after) the Vikings set off some fireworks. What are the special effects people watching? How hard is it to wait until the play is done?

 

[jonessed]

Well, this is where Cowher fails. Trailing in the 4th against good teams.

He's playing a coach that can't hold a 4th quarter lead to save his life. Seems pretty even.

 

[Capella]

Well, this is where Cowher fails. Trailing in the 4th against good teams.

I like the tenacity.

It may be, here:

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Yeah, I bet every other coach has a 80% win record trailing in the 4th vs a good team.

 

[Despyzer]

Well, this is where Cowher fails. Trailing in the 4th against good teams.

Why would you do this? Are you just itching for a fight?He beat the Chargers last year in this same situation.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Well, this is where Cowher fails. Trailing in the 4th against good teams.

I like the tenacity.

And he doesn't get flustered even when faced with overwhelming numbers. I love it!

 

[ydub]

That John Mellencamp/Chevy jingle might be the lamest thing I've ever heard.

Boy, ain't that the truth. Nobody can give up a lead like Marty.

I dunno what to tell you. In my very first post in this thread. I indiciated I'd be negative on whichever one of these clubs trailed int he fourth, because I don't view either as comeback coaches.

i have a suggestion...."I'll stop posting now"

 

[BGP]

LOL

Classic Cowher - down late in the game, and calling running plays.

He's been doing that for years.

Yeah, but.... we don't care.

He's only down by one score with almost nine minutes left. This is just pointless bashing.

He thinks he's a genius because he can get some Pittsburgh fans to react to his constant stream of derogatory comments concerning the Steelers. Like he's some kind of ninja mentalist. At least Brian's been sticking around tonight. Usually he just throws a few sophomoric content together in a post before bailing out to play World of Warcraft, or as he puts it:

Actually, I'm a guild leader. That means I have to deal with a bunch of crap of 12 year old kids. Sometimes I have to kick them.

It's probably another 30-45 minutes before he starts requesting that the mods ban people who get fed up with his little game.

 

[Despyzer]

That right guard was rolling before Phillips took off.

Welcome to Brian's world.

No, what Cowher is doing is running the clock out on himself.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Where is mr. furley when you need him?

 

[The Jerk]

Good thing the Steelers gave up on running up the middle like Madden suggested.

And even Madden is saying the same thing - that they should be passing. Is Madden doing pointless bashing? LOL

 

[BGP]

Ok, do they bench Ben NOW? That's INT # 9...

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Wow that was bad. Philip Rivers would never throw that.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Not a smart throw.

 

[jonessed]

Go Big Ben . Maybe he needs three weeks to shake the cobwebs

 

[The Jerk]

Was that :X intended for Ward?

 

[Despyzer]

And even Madden is saying the same thing - that they should be passing. Is Madden doing pointless bashing? LOL

No, he had his head up his butt as well. Look what happened when he passed, after effectively marching down the field with the run.

 

[Lauryn]

that throw was charlie frye-esque

 

[jonessed]

I imagine someone hit his arm or he just threw that up for grabs.
