It will be 21-0 at halftime and the Ravens get the ball lol.

 

[sm8680]

2nd and 10 down 14-0 and you dial up a run thru the middle of the Ravens DL
Smart

Ridicous offensive playcalling all game. Why stop now?

Hated the Smith hiring when it happened and it has wound up precisely how I feared it would. Zero innovation and poor planning on the personnel side by not having more than one legitimate wide receiver

What you don't like the 2 TE sets

 

[steeler6]

What an absolute joke this team is. They can't lose by enough now.

 

[HellToupee]

Good decision on 3rd and 18

 

[Donnybrook]

Only the home team is going to get that call in the playoffs.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

they are getting rid of this pickins guy right?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Too bad you dont get awarded points for punting yardage.

 

[crushedspirit]

they are getting rid of this pickins guy right?

I guarantee he will create drama this off season for a new contract or to get traded

 

[Ministry of Pain]

they are getting rid of this pickins guy right?

And Harris?

 

[groin pains]

They may have to dust off Fields in the 2nd half.

 

[Cobbler1]

Only the home team is going to get that call in the playoffs.

Lol. Couldn’t have been more blatant

 

[The_Man]

No push off and that might have been a pick.

Good acting by Humphries too.

All-Pro Marlo. Finally has the status that he gets those flags, a lot of DBs don’t. Plus he sold it like a pro

 

[travdogg]

Ever since they made the Secondary changes, the Ravens have been the best team in the NFL. If seeding holds, they should be favored at Buffalo next week.

I know Steelers fans are disappointed, but you are playing on the road against the worst possible matchup that exists. I don't know how anyone thought this game would have gone differently than it has. 2 wildly different talent levels here. Like the Steelers are good team, but the Ravens are truly elite. The drop off is similar to the drop off from the Steelers to like the Jets.

 

[Godsbrother]

That was a pretty tricky tack call on Pickens but when you suck those things happens

 

[sm8680]

If I was George I wouldn't want to hitch my wagon to RW. But due to being a head case he might not have as many teams interested in him as he would think

 

[5-ish Finkle]

They may have to dust off Fields in the 2nd half.

They arent winning this game with this OC/wrs if Roethlisberger's ghost suits up for the second half.

 

[McBokonon]

14-0 feels like 100-0

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Ravens not even trying to move the ball down the field, happy to go in the locker room up 14-0

 

[TheAristocrat]

Pittsburgh takes a timeout to contemplate how they'll let Baltimore rush for the first

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

And Harris?

I don't remember him being that bad. Sure Warren is likely the better back and Pittsburg would be fine without him. Is his contract up this year or next?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

14-0 feels like 100-0

Anything over 17 may as well be "infinity points."

 

[Ministry of Pain]

That was a pretty tricky tack call on Pickens but when you suck those things happens

Ravens DB suddenly falling in the opposite direction of the play/pass made it an easy call but I get what you mean

 

[5-ish Finkle]

And Harris?

I don't remember him being that bad. Sure Warren is likely the better back and Pittsburg would be fine without him. Is his contract up this year or next?

Harris is a free agent at the end of the year

 

[The_Man]

In that game vs the Steelers three weeks ago, the Ravens finally decided to play them like they do every other team instead of being scared and now Baltimore has shoved them all over the field for 6 straight quarters

 

[Dizzy]

That was a pretty tricky tack call on Pickens but when you suck those things happens

I mean, he used both arms... full extension. It could be used in a PowerPoint slide as an example of perfect offensive pass interference.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Ravens not even trying to move the ball down the field, happy to go in the locker room up 14-0

They don’t need to. As long as they don’t make a bunch of mistakes, they know this game is over. You have good coaching vs bad coaching.

 

[The Frankman]

It's funny, George Pickens and Ladd McConkey on the same team would be a great combo to compliment each other...


McConkey is a great route runner and gets open a ton, but isn't really a great #1 option because he's a smaller slot-type.
Pickens has the size and body flexibility, but can't separate for his life.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

Roethlisberger's ghost suits up for the second half.

I don't really look at the "passed away today" thread but I never knew he died

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Imagine the score if Flowers was playing.

 

[travdogg]

If I was George I wouldn't want to hitch my wagon to RW. But due to being a head case he might not have as many teams interested in him as he would think

Yeah, I don't think there are many teams who would treat Pickens as a #1.

ETA: If he's on the trade block, I wonder if they'd get more than a day 3 pick.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

So dumb. No subtly at all with the push off.

Ref was like 3’ away. lol

 

[Desert_Power]

Anthony Miller isn't going to let that ball be taken away.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Ravens not even trying to move the ball down the field, happy to go in the locker room up 14-0

They don’t need to. As long as they don’t make a bunch of mistakes, they know this game is over. You have good coaching vs bad coaching.

And now the Ravens are suddenly in strike range
They should fire it down to the end one once or twice, probably could put the nails in the coffin right here

 

[Steeler]

The drop off is similar to the drop off from the Steelers to like the Jets.

Steeler fans are complaining in this thread because the Steelers have lost 5 in a row headed into this game and also haven't won a playoff game since 2016, getting blown out in several of those games. So the frustration isn't just about this game. It's about the end of this season and what has become a typical playoff performance by the Steelers.

 

[The Frankman]

I don't know if Calvin Austin is the guy, or if Arthur Smith is the reason... but Pittsburgh needs to get a possession guy opposite Pickens ASAP.

 

[irish eyes]

Keeping our lord and savior Justin Fields on the sideline is a mistake

Do not question the greatest coach of our lifetime

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

How does Herbig whiff like that? Wow

Nail? The coffin already has dirt on it 6 feet under the ground.

They hardly ever call it.

There was an average of 2.22 Offensive Pass Interference penalties per team league wide.

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I think Austin has potential. He’s looked great at times.

Likely with a big catch.

 

[irish eyes]

What an absolute joke this team is. They can't lose by enough now.

Quitters

 

[The Frankman]

How does Herbig whiff like that? Wow

Oil the jersey. Can't get tackled if they can't grab you.

 

[IHEARTFF]

1 of these things is not like the other

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

304 yard 1st half by the Ravens. lol

 

[irish eyes]

Ravens on pace for 600 yards of offense, yep top tier defense

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

Mike Tomlin is probably Jeff Fisher level. Maybe a tad better or maybe the Steelers just had better players.

 

[karl.Racki]

Never will happen, but Steelers need a rebuild..

 

[groin pains]

What a pathetic showing by these Steelers.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

omg
