Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens - 2nd Half Open Thread

Quite an impressive drive by Baltimore to close the half. This is two good teams going at it. Pittsburgh ball at about the 10 minute mark of the 3rd.

Let's go Pittsburgh. AFC North title in sight.

that is scary

oh man

?!? the zebras are back – so its to tackle silverback when he’s in your backfield about to sack you- but if Ray Lewis slips going for the tackle then its a hold.

indeed

we’re playing against more than 11 on the field right now

Helmets

I always notice during games against other teams with black helmets that their helmets are really shiney and ours look like crap, a dull sheen at best…

Line

We need a new freaking o-line this is getting insane

by marcas13 on Dec 14, 2008 6:07 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

We can’t even run, our line is sub average at best…maybe it’s the line coach

by marcas13 on Dec 14, 2008 6:09 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

That should be our first draft pick next year, o lineman, the draft is going to be deep with them so why not.

I need a program just to keep up with the nicknames. I had just gotten used to Dookie and then he was gone.

thats wasnt on our line

that was on mewelde moore. he whiffed his assignment. Not on our line.

So that has happened all year long I guess, and yeah i know there have been a bunch were ben has held on to long, but that first sack by lewis is a prime example of the miscues

by marcas13 on Dec 14, 2008 6:11 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

we know the lines not great

Thats not a news flash. But everytime a sack happens, dont need to just throw up ones hands and say the line sucks.

+10

He was standing behind the linemen trying to prop him up – didn’t anticipate the delayed blitz

by SteelerBuddha on Dec 14, 2008 6:11 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Looking for the big play is messing things up

BB loves to go deep. That’s all fine and good.

BUT DINK AND DUNK IF YOU HAVE TO!!!

Jeez.

Most of the time BB has the 2 seconds to make a throw.

by Ragnar808 on Dec 14, 2008 6:10 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

The holding calls

are absurd. What was the discrepancy that someone posted on here. We’ve have a solid three to four a game and no one commits one against us?

Harrison held again

on that 3rd and 9 play

lopsided O line

So,

If they put all their line up on harrison, then move harrison AWAY from that set up.

Is that hard?

by Ragnar808 on Dec 14, 2008 6:12 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

True

But Harrison is the one they worry about….flip ’em after the O sets up and see what happens.

Would be interesting to see…..

actually

I thought it was a fair call. We need to work on not letting the play clock wind down. Why is this a problem for us?

by Alba on Dec 14, 2008 6:21 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

ok

Way to hang tough guys. Come on Santonio! We’re going to need him to make a play. Time to settle down.

by Blitzburgh on Dec 14, 2008 6:19 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

True

He really has been blowing it though – he misses the fair catch – sinks in the hole and then kills us with the weak fumble….not impressive – he really needs to turn it around

by SteelerBuddha on Dec 14, 2008 6:20 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

could tell

that he was playing too fast. he’s been getting caught up in yapping with the thugs. Not playing his game. Needs to settle the fuck down and do his job.

by Blitzburgh on Dec 14, 2008 6:21 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Neither offense is good enough

To make a legitimate run.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

I don't believe that at all.

…at least about the Steelers……..

That's true

I won’t speak for Pittsburgh, but Flacco is still one year away.

3rd and 7

must keep them out of field goal range

by Alba on Dec 14, 2008 6:59 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Not good

Flacco feels safe back there, knowing that Harrison can just be held indefinitely.

by Alba on Dec 14, 2008 7:00 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

killer

might be better for them to have gotten a FG than punt and us having to drive 80-90 yards

by Blitzburgh on Dec 14, 2008 7:00 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

interesting perspective

could be, but I wouldn’t play it intentionally

by Alba on Dec 14, 2008 7:01 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

hehe

no definitely not. And its not like we have a dynamite kick returner. But if we had gotten pinned, that would have been tough.

by Blitzburgh on Dec 14, 2008 7:02 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

regardless of the outcome

I still like this team a lot. It wasnt a given that wed be able to bang with them in their house and have a shot to win. We’ve gotten dusted in this situation in previous years.

by Blitzburgh on Dec 14, 2008 7:03 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Hey

If you can drive the field and score a touchdown then you’re the better team.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

Who are we going to play?

In the AFC, that is going to beat us? Indy is our only AFC loss so far. I think we all remember what happened last time Indy beat us in the regular season and met us in the postseason.

Your defense is sick

so is Baltimore’s, but they don’t have enough O. I said after the Giants beat you guys that I felt like if we made it to the SB we’d be facing you again, and nothing I’ve seen since then has changed my mind. Tennessee is wildly overrated.

by cjmulrain on Dec 14, 2008 7:32 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

"Tennessee is wildly overrated."

Agreed. Look at how soft their schedule is. Compare it to ours.

They lost to the Jets and the Texans. The Steelers lost to the Giants, the Eagles, and the Colts.

congrats steelers nation

i think somehow everyone of us knew today no matter what, we were going to win.
i know blitz has commented on the up and down and generally negativity of emotions in the gameday threads. but i think its been due to the fact that this unusual season has been a roller coaster for fans. im not seeing that anymore. we just had to get used to how the steelers are going to win games this year. everyone has faith now. everyone is excited. everyone knows no matter what, we are gonna win.

next up, titans and the battle for number one seed!!
