Pittsburgh at Baltimore (1 Viewer)

[renesauz]

no garbage time stats

there's two quick catches for 39 for Brown

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Unless you have Justin Tucker or Owen Daniels, not a good night for fantasy.

 

[Donnybrook]

Antonio Brown is the Pittsburgh offense.

 

[HellToupee]

Thursday night football terrible.

It is a consistently crappy product on the field and screws up the fantasy football week.

Too bad it's never going anywhere.

I wish I could like this but I'm on my mobile.

Hit the checkmark.

good info here

 

[Widbil83]

Loving these Brown garbage bones.

BAL DST.

 

[Insein]

Big Man. What a play!

 

[renesauz]

Nice defensive effort there. Looks like we're done

 

[Avery]

I'm going to start treaty Thursday night football as another bye week for my players.

I'm just not going to start them not matter who they are.

Seriously.

 

[HellToupee]

hell of a play

 

[renesauz]

BAL DST.

Yeah....and A. Brown ended up with 16 points in PPR...hard to complain about that

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

That was awesome. Ngata almost ran the other way, that woulda been great.

 

[irish eyes]

Both of these teams are awful.

You don't watch much Ravens/Steelers football, do you?

So you're saying that both teams are always this awful?

Sure but mostly I'm saying that my two eyes don't watch much of the same sport as the algae that hang around on this board.

Please stop, these 2 teams suck donkey @@@@ and that's being kind.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Ngata has 4 career picks. Crazy.

 

[HellToupee]

Really a town is going to win super bowl tickets

 

[The_Man]

Hate the way Nantz says "Nah-Tah!"

It's Notta. As in, "It's notta tumor."

 

[ponchsox]

No carries for Taliaferro :(

Baltimore D had a great game.

A. Brown had a good game.

Bell had a decent game. (100+ total yards and several catches)

S. Smith had a decent game.

Nobody used Daniels

Wheaton owners aren't dancing a jig, but they aren't pissed off either after 5/38 and 22 rushing.

Forsett had 72 yards and 4 catches.

No big nights, but lots a decent ones.

 

[SameSongNDance]

And with that last run, Pierce exceeds 4YPC *head explodes*

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Bell has been out there at WR, maybe in the slot, a fair bit at the end.

Why wouldn't they activate Archer with so few WRs available? Seems like it would have been a perfect opportunity.

 

[RushHour]

I didn't expect Pitt's offense to be so dreadful.

 

[Buffaloes]

No carries for Taliaferro :(

too busy running Pierce into the back of his OL 38 times

I think he was headed for the garbage TD too.

 

[Gopher State]

Pierce main man going forward

@MikeClayNFL if the ravens win by more than 2 scores and he gets carries against defense that gave up, then solid games will come. we'll see

I am way too tired/lazy to look it up, but I believe we have enough Thursday night football under our belts to have statistically significant evidence that they the offense suffers with the short week.

 

[bolzano]

Is Torrey Smith even on the roster?

Waste of his talent in this offense.

The Andre Johnson role in Kubiak's offense? 100 catches? What a waste of a fantasy pick...

 

[Han Solo]

Just got home...saw the last 2 minutes...Pierce looked like a beast the run I saw...did he look like that all game?

It's all Smiff & tight ends. Steve has a way of ingratiating himself with his QBs don't he.

 

[SameSongNDance]

He had some nice runs when the holes were large enough but he lacked vision and played a lot lighter than his 230lb frame would suggest all night. Later in the night, they gave up on him punching it in at the GL all together and decided to run two consecutive QB sneaks instead.

 

[Avery]

Dion Sanders, Marshall Faulk, Michael Irvin... I miss professional sportscasters.

 

[ILUVBEER99]

Just got home...saw the last 2 minutes...Pierce looked like a beast the run I saw...did he look like that all game?

no, but he's going to be the bellcow with Forsett the COP back. In games the Ravens are ahead Pierce will get a lot of volume.

 

[Buffaloes]

Just got home...saw the last 2 minutes...Pierce looked like a beast the run I saw...did he look like that all game?

no, he looked like Bernard Pierce all game

If they only got him a TD, he might have been a tradable commodity.

Damn you Harbaugh!!!

 

[HellToupee]

looked like Trent Richardson up until then

Hey! No need for name calling.

 

[SameSongNDance]

If I were a Pierce owner, I'd be shopping him to anyone who didn't watch the game tonight. Try and use the high volume as a selling point and take essentially any half decent offer you can find.

 

[Mister CIA]

Bernard Pierce - 22 carries

Justin Forsett - 8 carries

Feel free not to make any conclusions; I'm not, yet.

Sure guy. 1) This is professional football where very minuscule things separate the best from the worst 2) even the best of teams (i.e. The broncos v. Seahawks) can look terrible due to circumstances. Steelers lost all momentum and went offensive tone deaf after the Justin Brown fumble, one of Haley's terminal flaws and the Ravens are reeling from the Rice #### but certainly looked far more competent than the Steelers at this point. I would call neither of them bad teams but certainly boring to watch on TV.

 

[LargeMouthBass]

22 rushes for 96 yards really aren't that bad. He should've had a TD though. Not sure why Harbaugh wanted Flacco to get injured with two straight QB sneak attempts from the one. That's just stupid however you want to dissect those plays.

 

[joffer]

This is Pierce's job for a while

Nope, divisional games have a greater impact ok lower scoring games than Thursday night games.

 

[JetMaxx]

Pierce stinks. They want to use Forsett but he's sporting the backup QB vibe. Everyone thinks he's better until he plays more than one week.

Forsett is a COP back, he has a long history in the NFL, that's what he is.

Pierce may not be that good, but Forsett isn't all of a sudden going to be a bellow, that's just not who he is.

Yup. I started Bell, Pitta, BAL defense and Tucker. All but Pitta delivered. Sucks that half my roster is done already and it's barely Friday, but what the hey. I'm up by 57 and change.

Yep. Came to this conclusion about halfway through last season. But still started pitta over kelce

Yep.

Fact:

Divisional games produce less total points scored on average and this year that stat combines with the short-week syndrome factoid.

So potentially a double-whammy for Thurs starts this year given the number of divisional matchups.

 

[shoecrew22]

Why oh Why did Ben / J. Brown give the ball up so much and rob Bell of the chance to punch one in with that sexy stutter step!
