BTSC Weekly Comcast RedZone Update - Week 12 Edition

by Michael Bean on Dec 3, 2009 12:36 AM EST

On to our weekly red zone update post. Many thanks to Comcast for sponsoring BTSC and the other SBN football blogs this season. Their Red Zone Channel continues to received rave reviews so if you find yourself frustrated watching out of market games and are missing more football than you should each week, check out the channel and consider at least catching each and every play league wide inside the 20 yard line.

Week 12 Red Zone efficiency:

0 trips

2009 Cumulative Red Zone Efficiency:

36 Trips; 18 TDs; 14 FGs; 1 missed FG, 3 turnovers...50.0 % TD efficiency (+1.7%) 88.8 % scoring efficiency (-1.5%)

Well, that was easy wasn't it? Both of Pittsburgh's two touchdowns came on plays that happened outside the Ravens 20 yard line. Jeff Reed also had a longish FG attempt for the first time in a few weeks. Obviously yards were at a premium last Sunday night with the inexperienced Dennis Dixon making his first professional start in hostile territory. Dixon and the offense had their moments, but had very few sustained drives, and none that breached the Baltimore 20 yard line. Something tells me we'll see the Steelers deep inside Raiders territory more frequently this coming Sunday.

The Drive for 5 starts on Sunday.

We’ll worry about the playoffs (playoffs??) later.

conspiracy

just watched the NFL network someone please explain to me what happened

Friday – LaConfora reports Ben’s complaining
Fri – Ben says he passes all head tests

Sat – Tomlin say he rules Ben out
Sat – no one on the team was aware that Ben wasnt going to play

Sun – So Ben was complaing (was he) Tomlin ruled him out (did he) Doctor rules him out (or was it Ben saying he didnt wanna play)

Why did Ben practice all week but suffering headeaches
Why would Tomlin even dress him if Doctor ruled him out
why weight to Sat when Laconfara is reporting it on FRI

whatever it is it it no big deal look early in the week both Warner and Ben were going to play no matter what. All this discussion during the week in regards to coincussion isnt lookin good for NFL or Goddell (just like patsgate) he rules out both Ben and Kurt and leaves both teams to come with story just doesnt add up

Very Believeable

it’s like “loose change” with sense.

Bring a towel to the game. Black or gold or yellow. If you don't have one buy one, If you can't buy one, dye one!!!

Only..

…Ben, Tomlin and the Docs know for sure. Not worth worrying about anymore…if it was in the first place.

They needed something interesting; Dallas and Romo is getting old, TO is irrelevant, Ochocinco is stale and Tom Cable hasn’t slugged his girl – or girls- lately.

Just a question

was Dixon practicing with the first team offence during the week (wed-fri) or was he thrown in cold on Sun

Anyways was it Ben telling Tomlin or was it Doctor telling Tomlin to tell Ben or was it just Tomlin just telling Ben. In any case watch them (NFL, Goddell and assoc.) just putting a mandatory time frame on how many games must b served after a concussion.

But something smells really fishy

Dixon shared snaps throughout as I understand it

Next business...- Experts are saying

This year will be the first year that the phrase

“DEFENCE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS”

is over and the best offence out there will win the superbowl. Makes sense right now there really isnt any dominate defences out there to stop both the run and the pass. I’m just really hoping the nsteelers rest POLO this nweek and next bring him back (and he’s 100 percent) for the GB game as warm-up for the Ravens and then our DEFENCE wil “UNLEASH HELL” for the remaing games in the post season
