The titans have looked pretty good, but are making stupid offensive mistakes and penalties on the defensive side.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 1:36 PM EDT   0 recs

yeah

flacco just threw a terrible pick

by schnifin on Oct 5, 2008 1:38 PM EDT   0 recs

Just awful. Collins and him are officially in competition.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 1:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

or not

this may get overturned

by schnifin on Oct 5, 2008 1:41 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I think teams in the NFL really need to work on getting new units on the field quickly after questionable calls.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 1:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Challenge, looked questionable. Awful throw still though.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 1:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

There we go, a real interception. Titans on ravens 20. The ravens are doing their favorite playcall – personal foul.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 2:01 PM EDT   0 recs

hard to believe

the titans are an elite team, they have a great defense but the offense….

by schnifin on Oct 5, 2008 2:03 PM EDT   0 recs

They’re getting abused, even though their returner/defense are giving them solid SOLID field position. The running game was doing great on the first series but hasn’t looked hot since then.

I’ve never believed they were an elite team though, I can’t believe announcers were saying they were rated as #1 team in AFC. I just hope they are good enough to beat the ravens, they can stay undefeated for now.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 2:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

If the ravens pull this one off we need to win tonight for sure.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 2:17 PM EDT   0 recs

Skins and eagles are still close. Skins driving at the end of the half.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 2:19 PM EDT   0 recs

1st down by about a centimeter. Skins have a long field though.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 2:20 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Ravens RT looks like his leg won’t be working for awhile.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 2:22 PM EDT   0 recs

Ravens look like they’ll be up by the half.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 2:23 PM EDT   0 recs

nope

wide right….

halftime just in time for the start of the Pens game

by schnifin on Oct 5, 2008 2:27 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, I’m getting justin.tv going – this is going to be difficult. What a whiff by their kicker. Jeff reed owns him.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 2:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It’s not going to start until the 2nd half, ugh.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 2:36 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

haha

10 minutes of national anthems

by schnifin on Oct 5, 2008 2:46 PM EDT   0 recs

Titans look bad, bad bad.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:05 PM EDT   0 recs

Houston is taking it to the colts with their backup QB.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:10 PM EDT   0 recs

The titans pass attack looks horrible. I like our chances against the titans relying on the run so much.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:20 PM EDT   0 recs

redskins

taking it to the eagles

by schnifin on Oct 5, 2008 3:28 PM EDT   0 recs

The skins have looked really, really good lately.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:28 PM EDT   0 recs

Not looking good. Ravens are running and short passing all over them. Titans look useless.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

2 minutes left. Titans in the red zone, down 10-6.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:51 PM EDT   0 recs

Starting to play the short passing game, everything else has been taken away. Running game is bad and kerry can’t throw anything long.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:52 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

11 yard line, 1st and 10.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Titans pull it off. 12(soon to be 13)-10 less than 2 minutes left.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:54 PM EDT   0 recs

We just need the ravens to buckle, I know they have it in them.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:54 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

F’ing sweet. Interception by titans. Game is over.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:57 PM EDT   0 recs

Well, almost…

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 3:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Wow...

How about what’s going on down in Houston? Colts score 21 points in 5 minutes and win.

by Hines Ward on Oct 5, 2008 3:59 PM EDT   0 recs

Yeah, the texans really let everyone down.

Ravens game is over, good news for us.

Bengals all set to fail horrible aganst the boys.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:04 PM EDT   0 recs

S.O.T....

Same Ole’ Texans

by Hines Ward on Oct 5, 2008 4:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I can’t believe I’m going to be stucking watching CIN @ DAL.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

SF vs. NE

Out here in Los Angeles.

by Hines Ward on Oct 5, 2008 4:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That will be so much more entertaining. Personally I’d love to see BUF/ARZ

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:11 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Nevermind...

So much for that national broadcast map. It will indeed be Cincy/Dallas.

by Hines Ward on Oct 5, 2008 4:15 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

AFC south is looking awfully weak, the titans were not impressive at all. We need to take the jags.

NFC east looks beastly.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:14 PM EDT   0 recs

1st Play for Cincy...

Pick. That’s why they’re the Bungles.

by Hines Ward on Oct 5, 2008 4:17 PM EDT   0 recs

CIN @ DAL

1st play, interception. Palmer is just such a great QB.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:17 PM EDT   0 recs

Maybe they’ll switch the games after the 1st quarter.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:17 PM EDT   0 recs

It’s pretty funny anytime the announcers say anything good about the bengals D.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:19 PM EDT   0 recs

But hey, only 3 points starting at the 20.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

2nd cincy play of the game, false start.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:23 PM EDT   0 recs

Bills Edwards was taken off on a stretcher…

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:28 PM EDT   0 recs

That’d be the one.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Cards up 7-0. This sucks for the bills.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Oh, and Miami over SD. They might prove to be a tougher game (the ravens play them) than the patriots. We’ll see how NE does today.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:29 PM EDT   0 recs

Romo looks off today.

by Hines Ward on Oct 5, 2008 4:32 PM EDT   0 recs

Yeah, pretty bad throws. That run from the I-formation was nice.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Going for it on 4th and 4? Wow.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:35 PM EDT   0 recs

Touchdown. Kudos to the cowboys – balls of steel.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Leave it to the Bungles to leave the edges open on 4th and short with Felix Jones in the backfield.

by Hines Ward on Oct 5, 2008 4:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I really do feel bad for the bengals, assuming we beat them twice of course.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:38 PM EDT   0 recs

Poor ocho cinco, whine whine whine.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:42 PM EDT   0 recs

Ocho cinco kisses the ground, but not the star.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

SF up another touchdown.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:46 PM EDT   0 recs

Well, good. Isaac Bruce scored it. Makes my fantasy team, who is getting walloped at the moment, look a little better.

by Hines Ward on Oct 5, 2008 4:52 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’m happy we get to play them, but the bengals really are an embarrassment to our division.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:55 PM EDT   0 recs

Wish we got to place another team off of our bye week though, it’s a waste of our preparation.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:57 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Game over. Time to go do something else, see yinz tonight.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 4:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Wow, I come back and the bengals haven’t imploded. Holy crap.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 6:10 PM EDT   0 recs

I take back everything I said about the bengals. After a pathetic 1st quarter they are really making this a game.

Romo looks really awful.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 6:33 PM EDT   0 recs

Romo passing yards in 2nd and 3rd quarter = 38.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 6:37 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Ha, recovered bengals onside kick with 14:01 left, down 16-17. They are really showing some steel.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 6:41 PM EDT   0 recs

Then they had to fumble it.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 6:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Great, more reason for T.O. to gloat. 2nd catch of the game, 57 yard TD.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 6:45 PM EDT   0 recs

bengals

man…. they always seem to find a way to mess things up

by schnifin on Oct 5, 2008 6:51 PM EDT   0 recs

They’re back in it. They’ll need a TD with 2 point. I’m guessing they’ll go for the 2 points IF they get the TD, there is still plenty of time left though.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 6:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I’m not worried about cincy winning this game, I really could care less. I’m worried about cincy actually becoming a decent team and having to gameplan for them.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 6:55 PM EDT   0 recs

I wish I could say this has been a great game, but it’s just the cowboys playing terribly and cincy (gasp), playing well. Since the 1st quarter anyhow.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 6:56 PM EDT   0 recs

Cincy’s running game with their new RB actually looks pretty decent.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 6:58 PM EDT   0 recs

Here comes the demoralizing run it down your throat drive…

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 7:05 PM EDT   0 recs

Barber is very, very powerful. He is running against the bengals, but there is other evidence to support that at least.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 7:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He’s hit by 3 guys and still gets 3 yards. We need one of those…

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 7:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Since I’m talking to myself, I might as well complain about these miller lite commercials. Or any lite, jesus people, they all taste the same and are terrible.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 7:10 PM EDT   0 recs

Holy shit, catch of the week. TD cowboys.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 7:12 PM EDT   0 recs

2 score game, there is no way the bengals pull this one out. Still, they looked like a team tonight, they’re definitely going to win a game this season. I suggest the 2nd game vs. the ravens and browns.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 7:16 PM EDT   0 recs

There is palmer blowing the game, terrible clock management. Just knee it dude.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 7:19 PM EDT   0 recs

No matter who wins or loses

Atleast we’re not the Texans

Hey if you can speed up kickoff more power to you.

that’s the worst part of the sunday night game: you have to wait all freakin’ day for it!

time to make a move in the division

but its been a good day for the steelers. bungles lose. ravens lose. it makes this game a really good opportunity to create some space in the division.

by agentorange on Oct 5, 2008 8:13 PM EDT   0 recs

Yeah, we really want this win going into the bye. 4-1 and then getting as healthy as we can.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 8:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Madden can suck it.

i SO hope we punch jacksonville in the mouth. and madden too, while we’re at it.

If Moore can run a TD and then up to the booth and take a dump on Madden, that’d be awesome. Oops, wrong RB.

WHY

We won the toss, and we are electing to take the ball. I hate that decision.

you would have deferred? or just kicked?

Alright najeh, catch the ball.

Wonder if he crapped his pants on that hit.

by steelguy99 on Oct 5, 2008 8:24 PM EDT   0 recs

Sorry, it’s just too good a story not to go with. He sucks at running the ball back.
