Game Thread W6 - Cleveland V Pittsburgh (2 Viewers)

[Andy Hicks]

This will be pinned once the game starts

 

[Memphis Foundry]

Ramon Foster in for Kemoeatu after only a couple of plays. Not sure what's up there.

 

[Steeler]

Kemoeatu back in.

 

[ChargersOH]

Anyone who thinks Tebow isn't fast enough for the NFL has never seen Roethlisberger run.

Cleveland needs to use the wildcat every play, as poor as their WRs play.

 

[mashers]

Massaquoi with a bad drop. Would have been a 20 yard gain.

 

[Steeler]

LT Max Starks is now hurt.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

LT Max Starks is now hurt.

Ugh.

 

[Steeler]

First play without Starks a fumbled snap recovered by CLE.

RG Essex moved to LT, new RG Legursky limped off the field.

WTF?

 

[Steeler]

CLE effectively using the wildcat with Cribbs at QB.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

This is not good. I'm guessing probably Foster in at RG on the next series. They said trainers were looking at Starks' shoulder.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

Polamalu makes a pick but is walking off the field gingerly. May have tweaked his injured knee.

 

[Steeler]

Cribbs throws a pick to Polamalu while under pressure... then HE limps off too

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

There goes Troy. Don't understand why they played him today.

 

[ChargersOH]

Polamalu makes a pick but is walking off the field gingerly. May have tweaked his injured knee.

Cleveland finally found someone who could make a catch. Too bad he's on the other team. Terrible pass by Cribbs.

 

[Fallerjw]

Does the Cleveland passing game look as good as the stats are indicating?

 

[Challenge Everything]

Cribbs needs to start getting paid what he is worth. He is doing everything today, returning, running, passing, scrambling. Pay the guy.

 

[Steeler]

Starks back in at LT.... Essex back to RG.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Anderson either throws the most uncatchable ball in the history of the game or he is schlepping all of his receivers' women. I mean the guy isn't great but the number of drops these guys are accumulating is unfathomable.

 

[EdwardCat]

Doesn't look like Cleveland's defense is all that bad.

 

[gigantor]

throwing picks..

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Great run by 'Tone there.

AWESOME protection on that TD throw.

 

[EdwardCat]

Ugh, downgrade Mendenhall and upgrade Parker.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

Roeth just crushed it on that drive. TD to Miller.

 

[Steeler]

Ugh, downgrade Mendenhall and upgrade Parker.

Why?

 

[Steeler]

Great run by 'Tone there.AWESOME protection on that TD throw.

 

[Steeler]

Polamalu is back on the field.

 

[EdwardCat]

Ugh, downgrade Mendenhall and upgrade Parker.

Why?

Mendenhall not looking good and isn't being trusted to run in the red zone.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Is Josh Cribbs still at QB? NFL.com really sucks...

 

[Steeler]

Ugh, downgrade Mendenhall and upgrade Parker.

Why?

Mendenhall not looking good and isn't being trusted to run in the red zone.

They had only one RZ play on a drive where they were using the two minute offense... don't jump to conclusions.

 

[Knobs]

Is Cribbs really getting as much work as this thread is indicating? How much qb work is he getting?

 

[mashers]

Ugh, downgrade Mendenhall and upgrade Parker.

Why?

Mendenhall not looking good and isn't being trusted to run in the red zone.

They had only one RZ play on a drive where they were using the two minute offense... don't jump to conclusions.

But he also only has 19 yards on 6 carries.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

Is Cribbs really getting as much work as this thread is indicating? How much qb work is he getting?

He got a lot of direct snaps and lined up under center quite a bit in the first quarter. The Browns have been running a more traditional offense the last couple of series, though.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

STOP....THAT....F-ING....SPIN MOVE.

 

[Memphis Foundry]

Rashard Spindenhall

 

[Steeler]

Ugh, downgrade Mendenhall and upgrade Parker.

Mendenhall not looking good and isn't being trusted to run in the red zone.

Then you shouldn't have mentioned the red zone

 

[timschochet]

Parker's healthy but he hasn't gotten a look. It's Mendenhall's time, apparently.

 

[Steeler]

I agree... I hate that spin move because he uses in on nearly EVERY run.

 

[EdwardCat]

Parker's healthy but he hasn't gotten a look. It's Mendenhall's time, apparently.

Perhaps he should do something with it to keep it.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Poteat plays for the Browns in the dime now?Doesn't matter what play is called, throwing at Poteat=win.

Parker's healthy but he hasn't gotten a look. It's Mendenhall's time, apparently.

Parker has a couple carries for 10 yards.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Roeth putting on a clinic.

 

[EdwardCat]

So now that PIT has a commanding lead, is it time to run the ball?

 

[NeverEnough]

Rashard Spindenhall

Spinderella

 

[Steeler]

So now that PIT has a commanding lead, is it time to run the ball?

Post your complaints here please

 

[mashers]

"Then you shouldn't have mentioned the red zone"

I didn't, somebody else did.

 

[mashers]

Cribbs is good.

 

[Steeler]

Cribbs KO return TD.

 

[EdwardCat]

So now that PIT has a commanding lead, is it time to run the ball?

Post your complaints here please

Perhaps you should. Feel free to answer my question, though.

 

[gigantor]

that's why cribbs should get paid. forget all the other stuff, this is what he excels at

 

[Steeler]

"Then you shouldn't have mentioned the red zone" I didn't, somebody else did.

 

[Fallerjw]

JOSH CRIBBS!!!
