Pittsburgh at Baltimore (1 Viewer)

Can you go to someone else other than Steve Smith? WTF?

Agreed. Even Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall think Flacco's locking in one guy a bit too much.

That was his drive. The way he was hauling in catches they wanted to give him a TD. That, and with a somewhat comfortable lead Harbaugh wants to move him around in the end zone. I think they will normally continue to target the Big TE's in that area. The designed passes to Smith Sr are a little trickery.

 

[irish eyes]

And ike Taylor posing...really dude your down 2 Tds and you defended your 1st pass in 5 years. Unreal

 

[belljr]

Game over

 

[HellToupee]

Lovely

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

Injury Update: Steelers NT Steve McLendon (right shoulder) is questionable to return.

 

[msudaisy26]

Anyone here start or playing against Daniels?

I would drop out my league if someone started Owen Daniels against me. I wouldn't care if it was a. 64 team league.

 

[cvnpoka]

hey flacco, ya know there are other receivers on your team other than steve smith?

 

[renesauz]

Ooof

 

[bb7278]

Go Ravens D

 

[SameSongNDance]

Yay, now we get to watch Pierce rip off 2 yards gains for the next 20 minutes.

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Mosley with FF FR that's 4 points.

 

[irish eyes]

Awesome.... down 2 TDs and have blunt in the hurry up. Are you EFFINg kidding me

 

[Raider Nation]

Good thing the Browns are in the league. This Steelers team might have gone winless.

 

[Mister CIA]

Baltimore with a hit on a defenseless football.

 

[HellToupee]

"let them catch it & hit them harder than they expect"

 

[Buffaloes]

Smith is untouchable tonight, as in every time he gets touched the refs throw a flag.

Come on now. No matter what you think of the other calls, this one was obvious, an absolute no brainer.

no, a finger grazing a facemask is not a 15 yard penalty

wow. take off the yellow tinted glasses. The only reason Smith didn't score was the facemask

?? I 'd like to see the Ravens win. It was a bad call.

PS, they missed a personal foul call on the hard hit that caused a fumble just now.

 

[plastik]

Seriously. What happend to Torrey catching 100 balls this year, Joe?

 

[timschochet]

Hate losing to the Ravens. Hate it hate it hate it.

 

[The_Man]

Thursday Night Football is such an amazingly high-quality product

 

[belljr]

For sett garbage TD in 3 2

Glad you are not an NFL official.

Pierce has zero power

 

[LargeMouthBass]

C'mon Pierce score a TD so I can trade your ####.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Can't get pressure on the QB -- Check

Can't cause any turnovers -- Check

Can't tackle -- Check

Can't really cover anyone -- Check

Tendency to turn the ball over a lot -- Check

I actually think this team has a legitimate shot to make the playoffs in the AFC

 

[SameSongNDance]

Pierce has zero power

Zero power or subtle power?

 

[Rick James]

Wow pierce had a TD if he cut to the right.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

So..Phil Simms just basically said the steelers don't have the personnel to run the defense and the defense is an old hat trick that everyone has caught up to. Guess he don't like le beau

And he's probably right. Nothing but respect for LeBeau. HOF and all time great figure in the NFL.

But he's damn near 80 and his players are old. End of an era.

Starting D and their ages

Keisel (35) , McClendon(28), Heyward (25)

Timmons (28), Shazier (22), Jones (25), Worilds (26)

C Allen (26) Ike Taylor (34) M Mitchell (27) , Polamalu (33)

Keisel, Tory, and Ike are the only “old” players, and Keisel and Troy are still playing at a high level. The Steelers are having issues on defense, but the players being old is not the issue.

Zero

 

[fred_1_15301]

Secondary can't catch a cold -- check lol

 

[renesauz]

*sigh*

Pitta was open there and Flacco was late with the ball :(

 

[Mister CIA]

Forsett WHIFFS on a third down block.

 

[Steeler]

C. Allen could have turned this game around with a pick 6 if he catches that ball clean... but of course he didn't even make the catch.

Agreed. The question is, are the problems they're having fixable this year?

 

[DLR]

Pierce is awesome at running straight into things and falling down.

 

[cvnpoka]

ya keep giving it to pierce. he has great success rate of approx 0.

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Mentally weak teams let those calls get to them.

Super Bowl XL...

:Lmao:

Ok then, 3 of the guys who are supposed to be good are old and the rest just aren't that good.

 

[LargeMouthBass]

C'mon Pitt. Drive down and give Bell a TD.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Pierce is struggling to stay above 3YPC, I need Taliaferro.

 

[timschochet]

The other problem the Steelers have, as usual, is the offensive line. Gilbert is like a matador. And that play where Dumerval knocked him over was just sickening.

 

[irish eyes]

Let's face it people, steelers beat an awful browns team barely. It's going to be a long year. And wow if pierce can't score against this def, drop him . He looks terrible, only enjoyment I've had this evening

 

[renesauz]

Both teams still under 250 yards of offense

 

[HellToupee]

C. Allen could have turned this game around with a pick 6 if he catches that ball clean... but of course he didn't even make the catch.

I was hoping mad in real time but seeing the replay I'm not blaming Allen

Do you think Troy is playing at a high level? Don't see him play that much, but he seems to make very few impact plays anymore. I used to live in fear of him blitzing Flacco, now I don't even worry about it

 

[hammerva]

That first half against the Browns looks like a complete fantasy given the play since then. Steelers D still below average and hasn't learned how to tackle.

Hopefully they'll expand to 14 teams in each conference. "So you're saying there's a chance"

Yeah, it was a tough catch and he probably couldn't have turned it up field... but at least picking it off would have kept it a 2 score game.

 

[Blackshirt]

I can see why the Ravens aren't interested in Lamichael James. When you have a talent like Bernard Pierce, it's best to just back away and let the man work his magic.
