Ugh, bad clock management again

That one's on Ben.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Good thing they held on to that time out.

 

[jonessed]

Well, that was a cluster####.

 

[belljr]

Awful, kick it

 

[jurb26]

So he follows that up with a pass that isn't anywhere near the endzone??? Come on man.

 

[belljr]

Kick it

 

[Kenny Powers]

At least give yourself a chance and kick the FG, I dont care if Akers just set the record

 

[belljr]

Missed fg gets us the same amount of points

 

[The Jerk]

Terrible.

A play is complete with around 30 seconds left. You can:

a. call a timeout

b. kill the clock

c. waste 20 seconds and then throw a short pass for -2 yards

I'll take C please.

 

[bryhamm]

Ugh, bad clock management again

That one's on Ben.

Bull. Tomlin could have called TO there before the Moore catch.

 

[jurb26]

Harbaugh conspiracy theory gaining momentum.

So is Big Ben stupidity theory.

 

[footballnerd]

This is like fifth-hand information, but a friend of mine says that this may not be such an "accident", given Roethlisberger's ankle. Just tossing it out there. Having heard a lot of accounts about Harbaugh from behind-the-scenes, I wouldn't be too surprised. Guy will play any angle he can.

no chance

Just passing along what I heard. I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that it happened to go right before game-time.

It's not impossible

If Harbaugh rigged a Transformer to explode he just became legendary

wiling to put money on occupy protesters shutting down the lights

 

[CrossEyed]

Ugh, bad clock management again

That one's on Ben.

Bull. Tomlin could have called TO there before the Moore catch.

He could have, but I doubt that he expected Ben to stand back there for 15 seconds before snapping the ball.

 

[The Jerk]

Oh, good, the NBA.

Where we really need the power outage is in Bristol, CT.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyup

 

[timschochet]

Waste of some great plays on that drive. Oh well..forget it and move on.

 

[belljr]

So tired may not make it, good night

 

[The_Man]

Harbaugh conspiracy theory gaining momentum.

Everyone knows that Peter Angelos orchestrated a power failure at Camden Yard to preserve Ripken's streak when a marital issue was going to keep Cal from playing. Angelos passed the info on how to do that along to Baltimore coach John Harbaugh. Who held on to the secret until he needed it most -- tonight, when he had to have SF beat the Steelers, and then he shared it with his brother Jim.Obviously.

 

[wdubb]

SF got hosed on a bogus chop block call vs. the Ravens too. If I'm Pittsburgh, not sure I call a timeout there -- SF will pin them deep with the punt and then might force a turnover and/or get the ball back in good field position

technically it was the right call on rachal in that game. rachal was just too stupid and pushed the guy down when he was taken down by gore already

 

[wdubb]

oh and I don't really see how the outage benefits the 49ers. Steelers D was on the field most of the first half.

 

[bulger2holt]

do the harboughs have any sisters ? the rams need a head coach

 

[bryhamm]

Ben has shown extremely limited mobility, erratic accuracy, and forced a couple of bad balls for INTs. Steelers fans, now you know what it's like to have Joe Flacco as your QB

Gotta like a fan that can make fun of his own guy like this.

I'd make fun of Alex Smith now...but I'm not too sure whether I'd want to laugh or cry while doing that. those overthrows were so bad while otherwise he played relatively decent

That one missed pass in the end zone was pretty bad. That dude was wide open.

[CrossEyed]

Outside the Home Depot in SF??I dont know if Erin Andrews is on her period or what, but Ive been hearing this guy all day since 4pm and he gets worse by the update. Get rid of him, TIA.

 

[The Lung]

Sorry but the hispanic announcer dude has to go. I can't freakin' understand a word he says.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Where did they find this Sutcliffe guy?

I'm guessing either "ESPN Deportes" or maybe Club Babaloo.

 

[unckeyherb]

Wasn't that the new jags owner?

 

[footballnerd]

Sorry but the hispanic announcer dude has to go. I can't freakin' understand a word he says.

[belljr]

Spear?

 

[CrossEyed]

Mexico? He sounded Irish to me.

 

[The_Man]

67-yard net on that punt. That is the kind of hidden yardage that changes a game - the average net is around 40 yards, which would have had Pittsburgh at midfield
