[The Frankman]

As someone who has watched thousands of NFL football games in my life, if the Steelers don't take a shot on a double move during this drive, I don't know what's happening 

Ben may not have the arm for a deep double move.

 

[The Frankman]

wait that's incomplete? REALLY?

Refs are so BAD...

 

[The_Man]

Boy that's hard to overturn the call on the field. But the way this game has gone, other than the one roughing the passer call, it will go Pittsburgh's way

 

[dmac37]

Ben may not have the arm for a deep double move.

Yeah these old QB's do not have the arm strength anymore- Ben, Brady, Brees, Rivers

 

[The_Man]

This game is killing me. This game is there for the taking but they're not going to do it

Humphrey with another forced fumble. Guy is amazing. Very physical CB

I don't care what anyone says, Brady is throwing dimes deep and coming up empty because the coverages are good. As Romo pointed out in the KC games, they're playing two deep -- really deep -- coverages the whole time, taking away the deep ball.

Another cramp, this time Peters

 

[rockaction]

Marcus Peters non-contact going for his knee.

 

[rockaction]

Another cramp, this time Peters

Cramp you think? They're working his knee on the sidelines.

He's showing me

As you were saying...

There's your double move. Just good coverage on Johnson. Not fooled.

 

[The Frankman]

Ben throwing toilet floaters up there.

 

[The_Man]

As you were saying...

Yeah, they're actually better off with the dink and dunk aren't they

 

[rockaction]

4th quarter already.

Gotta think the NFL isn't taking this year and checking ratings.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Yeah, they're actually better off with the dink and dunk aren't they

They went for it like you said, but the Ravens broke it up. 

 

[rockaction]

Benny Snell might have helped sew up the game with that run. Huge run.

 

[The Frankman]

That's a depressing play for the Ravens. Actually blocked Snell initially, then he ran around and got away from two tackles.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

It was fun while it lasted

 

[The Frankman]

gg Baltimore, at least you tried.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Not the best game, but hey it was close until the 4th.  Not sure we really could have expected anything better.

 

[The Frankman]

Jesus Christ RGIII ate a Spear.

 

[CR69]

Not the best game, but hey it was close until the 4th.  Not sure we really could have expected anything better.

Yeah way better than I expected

 

[rockaction]

Harbaugh just played "I'm not losing the game for another few minutes" by not going for it. He needed that two be two-down territory. I'll bet their xWPA went way down with that decision.

 

[SkippaDaFlippa]

The first half was pretty entertaining. 3rd quarter was a snooze fest.

 

[The_Man]

Harbs punting there is really waving a white flag 

 

[The Frankman]

LOL WTF wasn't he down?

 

[The_Man]

Is it a blitz when you rush 4 guys?

 

[The Frankman]

Is it a blitz when you rush 4 guys?

According to the rulebook, no.

 

[The Frankman]

It's McSorley time...

 

[Sea Duck]

That pass was mcsorely short of its target.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

If that’s Cam, that’s 15 yds

 

[Sea Duck]

LATE HIT OUT OF BOUNDS.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

That pass was mcsorely short of its target.

:golfclap:

I assume Griffin is out due to suckage, not injury?

 

[rockaction]

I assume Griffin is out due to suckage, not injury?

One doesn't know, actually. He did pull up lame in the first half on a run but has quarterbacked since. Maybe his hammy or cramping flared up again.

 

[dmac37]

I assume Griffin is out due to suckage, not injury?

Was he the guy that looked like was getting a watermelon taped to his thigh? Whoever that was is not coming back in.

 

[trader jake]

Why did the Ravens just punt?

 

[The_Man]

I assume Griffin is out due to suckage, not injury?

Performatively had that ice bag taped to his hammy after Harbaugh surrendered by punting on the previous fourth and 2

 

[The Frankman]

I assume Griffin is out due to suckage, not injury?

Injury. Played last drive with a slight hammy pull; they have him iced up now. With Lamar out next week they can't have RGIII hurt.

 

[conlilnew]

Can’t wait to watch the Chiefs run it up on the Steelers in the AFC championship game. 

 

[The_Man]

Why did the Ravens just punt?

Harbs asking refs to go to running clock. Just wants to get out and focus on the soft schedule ahead

Not winning this game 

 

[The Frankman]

Uh oh Steelers cannot lose Bud Dupree.

 

[rockaction]

Johnson is having a rough day catching the ball.

 

[Godsbrother]

That must be Johnson’s 5th drop today

 

[fred_1_15301]

Can’t wait to watch the Chiefs run it up on the Steelers in the AFC championship game. 

Not saying the Chiefs wouldn't be favored but what would make you think they would be able to "run it up" on the Steelers?

 

[The_Man]

Hollywood can’t even get open vs a Defensive End

 

[rockaction]

McSorely can move a bit. Another running Raven.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Hollywood can’t even get open vs a Defensive End

Hmmm lol

 

[The Frankman]

HOLY #### WHAT IN THE WORLD!!
