Pittsburgh Steelers vs San Diego Chargers - 2nd Half Open Thread

PrintBen's in a rhythm, though we again have failed to maintain any sort of offensive flow. Nevertheless, we're knocking on the door on our opening drive of the 2nd half, and the defense has forced two SD turnovers. Take away their iffy pass interference call on the goal line and we've stymied them entirely.
Go Steelers! We can do this!

yeah
I’m wondering if the field were a little better if he could make that one more cut to break one.
how many times
this offseason did we bemoan the lack of the hb dumpoff. We’ve really improved in that respect.
woo that was a bit close
we deserve this lead
2nd and 5
Let’s throw a play action at them and go for it all…
I’ve figured Bruce out, Ben is Bruce’s fantasy QB. He’s trying to pad his stats
Madison
Is our Pro Bowl nominee for special teams. I doubt he’ll get it because of lack of name recognition, but find me someone more consistent.
First team to 10 wins!
…I honestly think the Steelers would be better to send the OCs to the locker room and let the guys play sandlot football.
that was a beautiful drive
if we’re like that moving forward, i will have nothing but nice things to say about our offense

James Madison, Amy Madison, Madison Avenue...
…he is a shoo in
Big Snack
Just limped off the field, according to Tunch Ilkin.
yikes
sproles… was worried about the little man for a second there
woodley is definately gimpy. a big effort from him today, playing hurt

grab instead of hit
is it just me, or would NFL players in general be better off grabbing for a tackle instead of the diving hit?
HA HA
What was that about Woodley playing with some heart?
Go Steelers
doesn’t matter for the Colts whether the AFC North goes to the Ravens or Steelers so I’m rooting for you guys to bury the Chargers.

i have a feeling we’re going to bury SD here though today. I like the way we’re playing coming out of halftime

maybe beat them up a bit too if it's not too much trouble
we have them next week.
Could you start with Sproles? That little man killed the Colts last year.

2/3 of the way through the game and rivers is 10/16 for 115 yards with 2 ints and L.T. has 30 yds on 14 carries. great defensive effort today after the second drive.

so sick
We will remain legit title contenders, even with our offensive woes, if our D can keep playing like this
by Michael Bean on Nov 16, 2008 6:26 PM EST up reply actions
I was going to say
after writing that long post Friday about how historically good our D has been. Best YPP avreage since 1978! Think about how much the game has changed since then in favor of the offense. Truly remkarable.

Whew!...dodged a bullet..
..that would have been 10 points for the Chargers….an insurmountable lead/
Bill Hillgrove Just Said...
“Stapleton back on the field.” The TV guys didn’t say it.
i dont think so
He’s played a very nice game. dumb penalty there but he’s looked good.
by Michael Bean on Nov 16, 2008 6:32 PM EST up reply actions
agreed
he’s come back and fought for some important passes
that wasnt a drop
ben missed him. and that was a sick catch by him on the sidelines. not a matter of effort or concentration there by him
by Michael Bean on Nov 16, 2008 6:34 PM EST up reply actions
haha
just my opinion. :)
really the one play that made me think so highly of his performance was the one where he came back to the ball on that deep in route. Had he pulled a Nate and not come to the ball, it would have been picked

hmm
interesting call. The Ben gets sacked play

The fun part of watching chargers games is that I get to be a fan of whoever is playing them for a day...
however, the steelers are driving me nuts. Big Ben holds the freaking ball for what seems like hours.
Nevertheless, GO STEELERS!!!
GO BRONCOS!!!

Slapstick Steelers..
…the offense is a comedy of errors. So far the defense has even had to provide the margin of victory if they should be so fortunate.
Hasn't Been...
All that bad. Just need to finish drives with points, not punts.
not sure what game uve been watching
we’ve ran well, passed well. just too many penalties and we ran out of time to end 1st half
by Michael Bean on Nov 16, 2008 6:46 PM EST up reply actions
If they lose this game...
..Arians and/or Zierlein get Turked.
You watch.
HA
You make it hard to want them to win, when you put it like that, LoL
ike
I love you, but please catch one this year. Just one.
im not gonna argue with taylor knockin it down
we remember what happened last time he tried to catch it
lol
lots of time left. we’re not exactly in the 2 minute drill

Somehow we have 10 and they have 1

its always something with us though
other than philly game, we havent looked terrible, and we havent put together complete game. odd.

Had Visions...
Of Joshua Cribbs against us last year
I love these passes
Word to arians for some of the passes he’s called. Ben’s had a good game
Think Arians...
Deserves mention for an overall well-called game.
especially on this drive
a consistent ground game would be great
What's doable FG range in Pitt with these conditions?

run
start running an take time off the clock. who cares about yards and stats we want the W
tale nothing for granted
Let’s not get complacent and just assume we have a FG. Were in the zone, lets keep the play calling fresh.
+1
this brings up an interesting issue. I like all of our backs. I want more russell, but at the cost of what other back?
moe russell on 3rd and 2-3
less shotgun

I’d actually be giving kudos to Bob Ligashesky.
allright!
Great game. Greaet D, very nice offense at times. Penalties were a joke but shit, Ben’s baaaaaaaaaaaack. That’s all that matters as far as im concerned.
Polamalu clearly had Steelers -3.5

LOL
Think about how much money was won and lost on that. HAHA. why i dont bet very often in the nfl.
Now I can breath....
ahhh…Victory.
I think there’s good things to come, my friends. After the Bungle game, they’ll be off for 10 days. It’ll be good for them.
Spaeth with 6 catches again...
…nice to see Gary Russell get a few touchs as well.
okay, if anyone is still here….my kids were throwing a fit about the game going on too long and i missed what happened at the end. what was the ruling about the touchdown? why didn’t it count?
...die trying
http://www.agentorangerecords.blogspot.com
i didn’t see any forward pass. they seriously reviewed it and saw a forward pass?

Robber Goodell is instructing these refs to be harder on the Steelers than any other team in the league. I hate to play the crybaby card, but we’ve been getting royally screwed week in and week out.
The first flip
was somewhere between lateral and slightly forward. DVR’ed it back. I had Steelers -3.5, so I wish I could be outraged about the call.

Where...
Are you seeing the press conference?
bottom line is we had 400+ yards of offense with no turnovers!
Thats impressive. Equally impressive to manage to only get 9 offensive pts off them :/
But thats ok, we looked really great today for most of the game
didnt they have the kicker try the PAT?
and if they did HOW in the HELL can they go back after the next play was run and then take the points away?

here’s something funny. if you go to steelers.com, the picture they have on the first news feed about the steelers winning the game, is a picture of james harrison rushing the passer (i think its the play about which someone commented that he looked like king kong) and he is very clearly being held by two offensive lineman. two NON-penalties on one play. something is amiss…
