FIRST!!!

This is Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu getting knocked around by the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii yesterday...
Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.

As weird as it feels to say

the Ravens DID get ripped off big-time in NE.

 I saw several weak-as calls. Every time Brady cried to a ref the Ravens got penalized within a play or two. Bullshit.

 I actually feel bad for Baltimore this week.

 Kinda….

It had to be said

Look at Brady jumping at pointing like a fucking girl. This is a contact sport you pussy. If you cant take the heat of a guy barely touching your leg get off the fucking field

Apologies for the f-bombs, but this is Football. That prima donna needs to get his hands dirty for a change

I'd like to see a couple of sacks in the 2nd half

A couple by each Wood and Deebo

It all starts in the trenches.

Rivers is good at avoiding sacks. Steelers are bringing good pressure. Ben would have got sacked at least 3 times with that pressure.

Ben would

Have also completed a couple of long 1st downs with that pressure.

Not piling on Ben. I am glad we have him in our team. Just pointed out that Rivers is better at reading pressure than Ben.

by Han on Oct 4, 2009 10:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

So I am not a sour puss (maybe I am) but 3 sacks and 2 Fumbles (both recovered) and one called back INT…

There is still one half to play and that half does not make the rest of the season.

Basically I am fearful of an ’06 repeat

Its not an INT

BTSC Obituaries

OldManSteeler, ominously died two days before Superbowl 123 where the Ravens are set to attempt their 7th superbowl win, facing the Detroit Lions on Sunday. He was 86. His last words are believed to be "MALOR CAN SUCK IT!!!". Like friends and family, we can only guess what this could mean.

Man, you guys are looking good.

Couldn’t ask for a better first half of football. I am impressed that you have absolutely shut down the Charger offense, something the Ravens could not do. The pressure is killing Rivers. Mendenhall is looking great to. I actually like seeing Mendenhall do well and always thought he was the best RB coming out of the 2008 draft class. He is showing he fits the mold of a Steeler RB.

I still hope you lose 28-21 ; )

Na man, we roughed him up bad.

One of the penalties was because Ngata tapped Brady on the shoulder while being held and trying to block the pass. The NFL wants to make sure Tom can still play golf in the off season.

And the second penalty, Suggs skimmed the thigh of Brady, and Brady pointed to the Suggs while smiling, almost as if saying “hahahha, isn’t great being me?”

O-line, more specifically Kemo (hope your ok buddy), the Prodigal son here. I wasn’t buying into this whole “continuity and experience” thing but it seems to have made all the difference in the world.

Big Ben, you way to haul ass out there.

Welcome back Deebo.

WR core looks fantastic.

Memo, what would we do with out you?

Defense: Seems you do just fine without Polamalu for 3 quarters, just got bring down the hammer in the 4th.

Screw the officiating crew for the missed forward progress call, thank you for letting SD back in the game. Otherwise a decent job.

I hated that strip call on Logan..

That was NOT a TD, and the rules committee should look long and hard on why a dude is being a) stood up for that long while b) behing pushed backwards and c) not even really fighting it should not = d) havingathe whistle calling the play dead. Happens on other run backs, on QB’s, on running backs who lose momentum…

I thought that play was total and complete trash.

Shame on you NFL if you don’t dress down these officials for that call, in what was otherwise a pretty well-officiated game.

So tired of hearing that crap on the boards here and other places.

IMO Parker has seen his shre of #1 back carries just get reduced. Mendenhall ran hard, ran with passion, always hit the holes hard and with authority and no in-the-moment- second guessing…

Yes, our line played it’s best game in a long ass time, but Willie, as much as I love the guy, would have had MAYBE 100 yards, and flaked in some of the tight spots.

Just my opinion….

Because...

…All-inclusive love-fests are so 1973…

We dont have to have an entire offense share something (mythical as it may be!) that should, in each game, belong to the one person, or units, that rose above the others.

Hines did mot rise above, he had his usual good solid performance.
Heath didn’t rise above and do anything any more spectacular than he normally does. Yes, he caught two TD’s, and that’s awesome, but…

As much as the O-Line has been maligned, even by our own fans (do we really need to go to the archives for yoru posts, guys?) they played LIGHTS OUT. I mean, ot for the Steelers, but for an NFL unit!! They KILLED it!

And Mendenhall, fine…why don;‘t any one of you who disagree with me please run by todays top RB performances of the ENTIRE LEAGUE, to me right now. Anyone? Who had more rushing yards than Mendenhall? Who had as many TD’s? And did any of those that came close AT ALL have those TD’s and their yards too?

No.

So THAT is why I say give it to those two, NOT the entire offense.

Dammit, not everyone has to get a hug VERY time you do something right. The offensive unit played great, don’t take me the wrong way. I’m just saying, for the sake of the mythical “Best Player” award, I stand firm. Argue all you want, the answer to my above question, that if you had the guts to answer, would answer my question.

Wow…almost hurt my head there….:)

I'm just trying to give credit where credit is due

And everyone on offense deserves credit for this win.

No, I get you, 100%

And I’m not trying to be argumentative.

I’m just saying there’s a gap between a coupel of ways you’ve put it tonight.

“Give credit where credit s due.” I have no issue with doing that, and I have done that. The entire offense played within itself and did the things the coaching staff asked of them. They played great. I give them all “credit.”

“Ben, the entire o-line, Mewelde, Hines, Heath, even Santonio looked better.” Just “looking better” is not what I’m talking about, and there’s a huge leap between “looking better” and being named the teams outstanding player of a game.

That’s all I’m saying. Don;t throw the bathwater in with the baby. Someone playedmore exceptionally than the others tonight. In my mind, without question, it was Mendenhall.

And BTW, did anyone answer my question? Who in the NFL ran for more yards and TD’s this weekend than Mendenhall?

Exactly.

Just to add...

The O-Line didn’t just “look better,” they killed it out there tonight.

Santonio played like we expect him to play, and nothing really more or above and beyond whatsoever. So exclude him.

Heath…GREAT play. But he wasn’t the crux that Mendenhall was. Loved what he did though, he was a beast AS USUAL.

Ben…did what he usually does, and nothing, again, eyebrow raising. Was there?

It all points to Rashard and the O-line.

I’m done talking about it tonight. Good to win it, and way too close in the 4th. We need to patch up that freakin 4th qtr defense, it’s embarrassing.

I'd say the whole offense

My question is where was there any weakness from them? Just about every single time they had to, they took the ball right down the field and scored.

Who was the MVP? Mendenhall/Roethlisberger/Kemoeatu.

But there really weren’t any weaknesses at all.

BTSC Obituaries

OldManSteeler, ominously died two days before Superbowl 123 where the Ravens are set to attempt their 7th superbowl win, facing the Detroit Lions on Sunday. He was 86. His last words are believed to be "MALOR CAN SUCK IT!!!". Like friends and family, we can only guess what this could mean.

Yup

Once we get Troy back(next week?) we could be downright scary.

My MVP? Mendy

Mendy bossed up like a boss is supposed to. Looked like a first round pick. Granted its easy to run on Whales Vagina, but still, he looked great. Bout damn time. He moved like LT in his prime.

I crack open a beer to thee, young Mendy. You have earned your cute nickname.

by Mechem on Oct 5, 2009 12:33 AM EDT up reply actions  

Thank you.

I’m crackin one open as well, and it’s good to be in the “Mendenhall For Game MVP” boat with you, Mechem.

Put your...

…Cute headlines away, no one here is saying it makes a career. We’re not stupid.

But it was a hell of a game, especially for someone that was linked to the word “bust” more times than Dolly Parton the last 12 months.

the only weak spot for the offense

was Ben holding onto the ball too long…………but we’ve been there, said that

by shleeve on Oct 5, 2009 12:19 AM EDT reply actions  

well that and Mendy not putting two hands on the ball………….yes he played great tonight but we were fortunate to not drop one on the ground……..

by shleeve on Oct 5, 2009 12:20 AM EDT up reply actions  

Were u not watching closely?

Mendy at times was carrying the ball one handed and very loosely, particularly on his very long runs, and when going into contact at the end of those runs

Just lucky guys werent swatting that ball out the hand was all shleeve meant

exactly

basically, what im saying is that we shouldn’t be at all surprised when he does fumble it………………….he swings that ball around…..

Some news on next week's opponent

Matthew Stafford may have dislocated kneecap, meaning we may be seeing the immobile Daunte Culpepper come Sunday.

I loved....

….Listening to them talk about how they were underrated, how Fisher gets no credit, that if they were in a bigger market they’d get more accolades and people would know abou tthem..

MEMO TO THE TITANS:
We live in a time where there’s this thing called “THE WORLD WIDE INTRAWEB.” some people call it the “INTERNET,” or just, “The Web.”

a) We all know about you, we just don’t care.
b) You fail to forget, if you were in “a bigger market” people might actually hate you more. I’m talking about your own fans. Think New York is easy on a loser? Riiiiiiight.

Titans, maybe you should feel good you’re in a smaller market.

BTW…the Steelers market is just as small, and ummm…uhh…people know us. Our fanbase says that, our revenue sales say that, and yours don’t that much. So….thanks for playing.
