Pittsburgh at Baltimore (2 Viewers)

[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.

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

Compared to 2008 Troy? no. Compared to the average SS in the NFL? yes.

Blaine Gabbert thinks Ben looks terrible.

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.

Pierce sucking doesn't do anything to change the fact that James also sucks.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Let's be honest, Blount wouldn't have caught that ball anyway.

I think Edgerrin James would be a better bet for the Ravens than Pierce right now.

 

[Peyton Marino]

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

fitzgerald, for example.

 

[JaxBill]

Aren't the Steelers down 3 scores? And running the play clock down to 8

 

[irish eyes]

Why is blount in the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True, but they already know that Pierce sucks royally within their offensive scheme. James level of suckage within the juggernaut Ravens

offensive scheme is still an unknown.

Doesn't matter following an incomplete pass

 

[Kool-Aid Larry]

do these snaps seem a little low?

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Aren't the Steelers down 3 scores? And running the play clock down to 8

To 2 that time! And they just punted down 17.

It's like watching Bizarro Chip Kelly.

 

[Bojang0301]

Just as it was an overreaction to the Browns, it's an overreaction to the Ravens. This is a good D that slowed down a great Cincy O and always plays the Steelers twice as difficult as anyone else.

 

[wormburner]

Best tackle by a Steeler tonight!

 

[irish eyes]

Steelers are actually worse than last year, didn't think it was possible

 

[Prince Myshkin]

can we get one more tucker fg??? maybe a long one this time...

INCOMPLETE PASSES

New to football?

 

[Cripster]

Steeler offense has no imagination . Everything to the sidelines. Very predictable. Really hard to watch.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Taliaferro yet?

 

[The_Man]

Just as it was an overreaction to the Browns, it's an overreaction to the Ravens. This is a good D that slowed down a great Cincy O and always plays the Steelers twice as difficult as anyone else.

Not to mention the tremendous disadvantage road teams face on Thursday games. It's just absurd, and I see the road team get ground down in the second half week after week in these games

 

[Mister CIA]

Need an assist with the arithmetic. Are the Steelers losing 47-6 over the past four quarters?

 

[cvnpoka]

amazing punt. just amazing. lol nfl coaches. that should be a fireable offense.

 

[renesauz]

Need an assist with the arithmetic. Are the Steelers losing 47-6 over the past four quarters?

47-9

YW

 

[The_Man]

Serious question - does a Steeler WR have a catch this half?

I suppose you want to defend punting in the 4th quarter down 3 scores? Please, Rene, be my guest.

Even with this defense, they have a better chance to score with Flacco on the field than with their own offense on the field.

 

[Mister CIA]

Does Pierce has four runs > 8 yards?

 

[SameSongNDance]

No.

 

[delusional]

I can't wait until next weeks thursday night football ...said no one ever. Whose brilliant freaking idea was it to have MORE of these games?

Mucho Gracias.

 

[irish eyes]

Did steeler D touch flacco, not sack I mean actually touch him ONCE

 

[SameSongNDance]

Forsett owners just crapped their pants.

 

[Peyton Marino]

yea the ravens desperately need some new runningbacks

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Nice run by Forsett to give Pierce the TD.

 

[Steeler]

wow... this defense is absolutely terrible.

 

[Buffaloes]

wtf is Pierce getting 40 carries tonight?

 

[renesauz]

Well.....THAT was a nice run by Forsett!

 

[HellToupee]

nice angle by Mitchell

 

[Insein]

That was impressive.

 

[Mister CIA]

Forsett must be winded. Send in Pierce.

 

[Omniscient Deity]

Nice.

 

[Liquid]

Come on now, Let Forsett punch it in after that big run.

 

[Donnybrook]

I would put money on this next pass going to Steve Smith

 

[GoBirds]

Mitchell is brutal between the penalties and getting juked out of his jock

 

[renesauz]

Good call...was a half yard short

Mucho Gracias.

Past 6 quarters, actually.

 

[Blackshirt]

Time-out to set up 4 consecutive throws to Steve Smith.

Coulda driven a tank thru that hole!
