W7 Game Thread - Pittsburgh V Atlanta (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Brownstone]

Big play by Vick. Roll out to the left, Polamalu whiffed, Vick to Alge for a big first down in FG range.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Dunn for 2

2nd 8

 

[Marc Levin]

The NFL really needs to change the overtime rules. I hate seeing a good game like this ruined by winning the toss. Atlanta wins on FG on first drive. GAME OVER!!!! THANKS FOR PLAYING!

I think it is fine as is.The ONLY change I feel is acceptable is giving each side one run back. Flip the coin to see who goes first, if that team fails to score, then the other team takes over, play as normal. If one team takes the first drive and kicks the FG, then one kickoff, one series, and that's it. None of this college foo crap where each team gets spotted the ball at a point and there are no kickoffs.

 

[Pit951]

dunn for a couple yards, 2nd and 7

 

[Chase Stuart]

243/4 from Vick today.

 

[Stillers Jr.]

this defensive effort sux

 

[Big Score]

Troy couldn't catch Vick that time & then Vick actually displays a beautiful touch pass to Crump, which I did not think was in his repertoire.

[rhawkins68]

is it over?

Has been since the coin toss.

 

[Disclaimer]

stillers are going nowhere fast with this defense.

 

[Whizzinator]

I hope Indy has a game-winner taken away on one of these after-the-play timeouts. Polian's reaction would be worth it!

That has happened about once a year, hasn't it? You'd think the comp committee would do something, e.g. tell the officials that once the play clock gets low enough they have the option not to grant the time out...that would keep teams from gaming it as they do now.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Dunn a shoelace away from 6.

 

[3C's]

It's over now. :( Atl should just go ahead and kick it.

 

[Steeler]

Super Bowl calibre teams just do not shoot themselves in the foot this much.... sooooooooooooooooooooooo frustrating.

Guess neither of these teams are Super Bowl calibre then.

How has ATL shot themselves in the foot?

 

[Big Score]

243/4 from Vick today.

But he can't pass Chase. You sure that's right?

 

[SickThing]

Dunn for another 1st at the 19. That should do it.

 

[sentr]

IT's OVER

 

[Pit951]

another ATL first down dunn, 1st and 10 from the 20 or so, dunn, no gain, 2nd and 10

 

[Pit951]

5 yard gain, kicking team on..........

 

[East Coast Bias]

Dunn to the 14

FG attempt coming up on 3rd down

 

[Yankee23Fan]

243/4 from Vick today.

I'm going to lose 2 very important games today thanks to Vick waking up and remembering how to throw the ball to Crumpler. I hate losing to TE's.But I have Vick in the contest, so if he wins me $25,000.00 I'll forgive him.

 

[Big Score]

I'm worried if Anderson has the leg for this one

 

[SickThing]

Mortenson in on 3rd down. PIT ices him. 32 yards attempt.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Vick with 300 combined yards and 5 TDs. Overated.

To be fair, Crumpler kinda woke up himself and remembered how to catch the ball.

 

[Stillers Jr.]

Vick with 300 combined yards and 5 TDs. Overated.

OK we get it

 

[sentr]

Bye-Bye Stillers. You deserved to lose this game in regulation.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Anderson is

 

[Steeler]

Vick with 300 combined yards and 5 TDs. Overated.

Steelers defense is apparently overrated. They didn't stepup at all today; ATL converted all three turnovers into TDs.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Game over 41-38 Falcons

 

[CrossEyed]

Steelers didn't deserve this game. Way too many mistakes.

 

[Disclaimer]

This game is OVAH!

That it is.

 

[Marc Levin]

The fact that I'm not seeing the game of the year saddens me.

This was a good game, but was not the best game of the year so far, let alone going forward.

 

[sentr]

Steelers didn't deserve this game. Way too many mistakes.

It's good to see some class from a Stillers fan

 

[CrossEyed]

Vick with 300 combined yards and 5 TDs. Overated.

One game doesn't change that fact

 

[Homer]

Vick with 300 combined yards and 5 TDs. Overated.

Wow, how'd I miss the 5th TD?LAME

 

[Steeler]

What a dismal showing by the defending superbowl champs. Starting out 2-4 is a discrace.

 

[East Coast Bias]

were by Vick

 

[Disclaimer]

TD!!(meanwhile, Bungles are losing again )

how'd this TD work out for you?

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Lots of crucial kicks for wins today.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Vick with 300 combined yards and 5 TDs. Overated.

One game doesn't change that fact

It did in this game.

 

[3C's]

I agree with Nantz. Hate the sudden death OT. Teams fight it out for 60 minutes and it comes down to who wins the coin toss.

 

[Steelers4Life]

With the way the defense played and with all the stupid penalties and turnovers, the Steelers didn't deserve to win today. Neither did Atlanta, but someone had to win and Atlanta got the ball last.

 

[Big Score]

Vick with 300 combined yards and 5 4 TDs. Overated.

Fixed & from the Vick haters, I'm sure we'll hear plenty of reasons why Vick was able to pass like he did today & none of the reasons will be because of anything he did.That's just how it is. Vick is the Rodney Dangerfuield of QB's.

 

[Pit951]

that was really really ugly, bad game by the steelers. I'll be honest, I thought they were going to keep Vick under control. He had the game of his life.

 

[Borat]

What a dismal showing by the defending superbowl champs. Starting out 2-4 is a discrace.

Does anyone happen to know off-hand what the worst record ever is for a defending champ?

 

[Big Score]

Steelers were just flat outplayed by the better team today. Great game by the Falcons.

This is just sad.

Agreed. Most of the comments about Vick come from Fantasy football players who want 300+ passing yards and 3 TD's weekly. Not realistic and not the type of player that he is. In REAL life Football, the guy is a winner. Today he was a great FF QB as well. I have ridden him all year and decided to sit him today for Kitna. Even though he went off on my bench, It's good to see him have a monster game.

It's from a Steeler fan. What did you expect?
