Rams turf caught on fire during pregame fireworks

And the one official that always travels with an Astroturf repair kit forgot it this week.

 

[RBM]

Surprised it doesn't happen more often.

How does this effect Gurley?

Too big an area anyhow--he couldn't possibly carry that much carpet with him.

 

[amnesiac]

WTF?

 

[amnesiac]

it always amazes me how a $50 Billion industry can look like idiots on a regular basis.

 

[apalmer]

WTF?

Now have to clean and vacuum up any rubber pellet particles and any leftover fire extinguisher chemicals. About another 10 minutes or so.

Did anyone else see that shop-vac they had to clean up the mess? That thing looked like it had just been brought back from an archeological dig in the Sahara.

 

[Madden Curse]

STL already lighting it up!

 

[apalmer]

And, no, it wasn't L. Bell trying to smoke the grass.

I also liked how when they used it it just spat all the dust right back out on the field from the main housing.

Why would the official have this and not the stadium??

 

[Bracie Smathers]

I was wondering what happened but this is hysterical.

 

[Fennis]

Thanks to Jamie Erdhal for letting us know the giant wet spot on the field feels different than the rest of the field.

 

[apalmer]

Personally, I think Tom Brady snuck in and put gas on the turf pregame just to disrupt the Steelers.

 

[apalmer]

LOL at the booth guys thinking it was "brave" of her to test it.

 

[RBM]

Steeler offense is scary. Just loaded.

 

[GroveDiesel]

What's the O/U for how many times the camera focuses on that spot on the field and they comment on it? 10? More?

Over

 

[apalmer]

The good news is Scobee made the FG

 

[jb1020]

Mason three touches on the first drive...Gurly in there at all?

 

[timschochet]

Steeler offense is scary. Just loaded.

It's a thing of beauty. Just a joy to watch.

 

[pats3in4]

6 catches in the quarter for Brown? Not watching the game. Is he finding holes in soft zones or is he simply being his superhuman self?

Some of each.

 

[Bucky86]

Any Gurley sightings yet?

 

[timschochet]

Any Gurley sightings yet?

The Rams have only had one drive for 3 minutes, and I'm not even sure they ran the ball. Tre Mason was in there.

Some of each.

Mostly a ton of off coverage leading to easy completions. Great routes by Brown of course and Big Ben on target with timing throws.

In now

 

[timschochet]

Gurley with his first carry.

 

[timschochet]

Gurley on his first drive, 3 carries for about 2 yards. He did catch a ball for about 6, though.

Rams faked a punt from the 50 and tried a pass but the punter couldn't quite get there.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I don't blame the Rams for trying a fake punt there. They need something

 

[RBM]

2 carries and a catch

 

[timschochet]

Tavon Austin getting a lot of targets.

 

[timschochet]

Mason is back in. Looks like an RBBC?

 

[Bucky86]

Mason is back in. Looks like an RBBC?

Of course it'll be for a few weeks.

 

[irish eyes]

Weird feeling about this game, seems Pitt dominating yet only up 6. Waiting for a long down field pass at some point from Ben although that one was picked

Story of the Steelers' offense for about the past three years most weeks.

 

[Bucky86]

Would like to see them feed Gurley here.

Yeah I was actually feeling the same thing. The good thing is, I am so confident in this team even if they somehow lose today. They're playing against a very good Rams D and have made it look easy for much of the first half. Defense will improve when they get healthy.

 

[modogg]

does not look good for Big Ben

 

[Bucky86]

This Rams D is exciting to watch.

Steelers season is over.

 

[The General]

That looks bad.

 

[The General]

The camera view from the endzone shows the leg buckle in a bad way.
