Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3) at San Francisco 49ers (10-3): BTSC NFL Week 15 Gameday Open Thread (2nd Half)

Photo

Power outages 2, Steelers 0.

Perhaps it was most personified by a stalled 2-minute drill that was the only real offensive production of the half.

At the same time, the 49ers have two takeaways in their own territory and are playing against a quarterback who clearly is struggling to throw the ball, and are only up 6-0.

To paraphrase Dennis Green, this game is what we thought it would be; low scoring with a lot of defense. Credit to both sides on their defensive intensity.

At this point, QB Alex Smith is making some nice throws, but has left a few on the field. The understatement of the year is that Roethlisberger has left a few out there as well (how frustrated is Mike Wallace right now?).

Barring any further power delays (which is unlikely), this one will be a battle straight through to the finish. The Steelers will kick off to start the second half. We'll be here all night if we have to, so keep the comments coming, and keep the faith.

The Steelers have won plenty of games like this.

What about the phantom call against the Niner secondary where no number was called and no replay was shown when Smith sacked BB for a huge loss when it was it was 1st and 25?

They were Flacco esq

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang

First was a bad decision by Ben to Wallace when the ball was near the 20
Second was an over throw to an open Heath went off his hands into a defenders
Not to mention a missed bomb to Wallace who had his man and a drop by Brown who would have taken it to the house

Hey everyone

Don’t know about this game. I haven’t been watching the thread so yell at me if I’m being repetitive, but why are we giving their receivers so much space? They aren’t exactly deep threats and Smith is struggling on the few deep balls he’s had… let’s get up in their face a bit and stop this five yard routes!

Jesus, this is the 2nd time I have seen a Steeler fan think leading with the helmet on runner is a penalty.

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang

I know it’s not a penalty. It’s just complete hypocrisy on the part of the NFL.

Yes, as long as the runner is not defenseless (which Brown definitely wasn’t after running with the ball for about 3 seconds) you can hit helmet to helmet.

Leading with the helmet and spearing is different. Use your DVR rewind and notice the air hole in the helmet hits Brown in the #’s, that is spearing and a penelty.

by NVASteelerFan on Dec 19, 2011 10:58 PM EST up reply actions  

If the NFL was truly concerned about player safety, they would ban all helmet-to-helmet AND helmet-leading hits. Except they don’t. The NFL just cares about protecting QBs, since the offense is the part of the game that makes the money.

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long.

Arent there some screens or quick hits they can run?

These running plays on 2nd and 4 or whatever it is are killing them, leaving them with too many 3rd downs. You have 2 downs to get 4 yards, cant you convert on 1 of 2 attempts at a 4 yard pass? Just do a quick screen or something to the outside, a no-risk passing play with high completion odds. The 49ers do those all the time and theyre very effective.

Dude what do you expect

Ben hasn’t been playing up to par, our kicker missed a HUGE FG and the D has been lethargic all night. Face it, the 9ers came to win, we didn’t it.

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

Rec

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang

even when they have every right to be negative, turn from normal posters to “trolls” pretty quickly as soon as someone decides to call them one.

Ben at 25% is better than Batch at 100%. If you doubt that, watch the throws Chuck has attempted this year.

Not even CLOSE to the mark 90% of the time. And he does get plenty of reps, even if they are against lesser talent.

We both got embarrassed by bullshit west coast teams. Right back where we left off after last week. Be easy Steeler fans.

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang

AGREED!!!

“Everything that rises and falls begins with LEADERSHIP” – John Maxwell. At what point does Big Ben step into being the true leader of the Pittsburgh Steelers and take himself out of the game? How bad do things need to get before realization that Ben should be benched to rest his injury and let Charlie Batch take over?

by bigvink on Dec 20, 2011 12:14 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

O-line played pretty well.

Sacks only started coming in garbage time. Ben held onto the ball as he always does, and took ridiculous sacks as he always does.

Just this time, he lacked the mobility to escape and extend the play that makes those sacks worthwhile. Instead he was tentative, forced the ball, and was directly responsible for 3 crucial turnovers, and an offensive performance that led to a grand total of 3 points.

well

Feel free to blast me here. I am happy Ben played. Sounds crazy. His turnovers show he wasnt prepared, was tentative and I know hes a better QB than that. I admire his heart. As a team I believed they had a great chance tonight knowing what was against them before and during this game. They didnt overcome but I take these losses when most often their wins are inspiring and gritty. These down points will come. A win would have been awesome but it was not to be. Credit to the 49ers. The AFCNorth crown was going down to week 17 even before this game. Looking forward to the next two weeks. Go Steelers!

I'd sooner get Flacco'd out here in the middle of nowhere than lose face in front of my friends and family.

how about our vaunted defense that let the 49ers move the ball AND score TD’s tonight – something the mega talented Cardinals didn’t do last week.

Ben shouldn’t be in now because if he gets hurt bad our season’s done. I still take Ben on 1 leg over his backups in spite of the result.

yea but even so

For a guy who’s supposed to have tremendous speed he just doesn’t cover all that well, and I counted 3 or 4 missed tackles today. Plus when does he ever make a splash play? Hardly ever gets sacks any more and just does not have that playmaker gene. In my eyes he’s a slightly above average linebacker.

I can’t argue that. It just seems like the whole defense is missing that “It”. No one really makes splash plays except Troy and Harrison anymore.

Something Ravens fans dont understand is that no matter what the outcome was tonight for the Steelers we as fans knew this division race was not over. Of course, now Ravens fans and players probably fell right back into old arrogant ways of thinking and we all know how BiPolar your team and fanbase has been this season. Dont take things for granted, dont look ahead. Steelers fans know this. This is something yall should learn…..and stop labeling all steelers fans as bad because a handful come to your site.

Tomlin

Needs to take charge. If he can’t, then we need to think about replacing him. The logical replacement – Bill Cower. I am African American, but I would not be opposed to this. Also, I think that we are not using Dennis Dixon to the best of our ability. We should use him the way that Cower used Cordell Stewart. We keep Charlie Batch in reserve but we know that he has nothing to offer us in the way of production. It is time for us to get over this and give him (Dixon) a chance to see what he has to offer. What happened tonight was a disgrace. We are better than this. I hope that we will rest Ben the next 2 games and have him available for the playoffs. The same applies for Woodley. Let’s give Dixon a chance and see what he has to offer. I feel that Baltimore will blow it in Cincy. We can stiill get that #1 seeding.

Yea yea I know, power outages, refs, ankles and goodell….

Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

DEFINITELY disagree with you

Ben was not up to the task. The Coach should have seen this. We did Ben a dis-service by playing him when he was not up to the task. It was pathetic watching us let this young man flounder when it was obvious that he could not deliver. In this game, Ben sucked. I don’t blame him, because he gave his all. He was injured. We want to make a “Superman” out of him. He is a “mere mortal”. I am tired of hearing people say that Dixon sucks. Play him and then judge him. He did a good job when he had the opportunity. He made 1 mistake against Baltimore last year. He should not be castigated for that. We are wasting a talent by sitting him. We should give him a chance against the Rams and Cleveland and give Ben a “well deserved” rest. I agree that Batch sucks. The same should apply to Woodley – give his “hammie” a rest. Worilds is doing a “decent” job. Tomlin needs to “man up” to the job and “BE THE COACH” or step aside.

by Allen F on Dec 20, 2011 3:43 AM EST up reply actions  

Of course you do. That’s your thing. You mythologize a player you haven’t seen play in a long time, because you have a faint memory of one “ok” performance that he’s had in his career. He couldn’t deliver tonight…cool….3rd time of the year. If I see a qb that “can’t deliver” 3 times a year…i’m ok with that. I don’t call for some QB to fill in for him that is so bad he doesn’t even get to dress. He three for 330 yards tonight. He wasn’t floundering, he made some stupid plays.
If you’re tired of hearing that Dixon sucks…well get used to it man. The group of people that know WAY more than you decided that. It’s their job to decide who sucks and who doesn’t, then put them on the field when necessary. They said he sucks, because, as I’ve said, he doesn’t even get to dress. They have played him. He sucks….They have let him practice…he sucks…he can’t take Charlie Batch’s job…what does that tell you? He couldn’t take Byron Leftwich’s job. What does that tell you? Why is it that you think you know more than people that get paid to make these decisions. That is extremely arrogant to me. Anyone can have a good game here or there. Ryan Leaf had a couple, Rick Mirer had a couple…who cares. the team does NOT trust him. They would rather send 96 year old Batch out there in his wheelchair. That should tell you everything you need to know. “We” aren’t wasting talent. Dennis Dixon wasted talent, that’s why he can’t beat a guy with a walker. He is not castigated for that one mistake in Baltimore. That’s just the only thing you can remember. The coaches see A LOT more than you.
Tomlin is the second best coach this franchise has ever seen, and him allowing Ben to play takes nothing away from that. Ben said “if you’ll let me go, I’ll go”. If doctors thought he could hurt himself further, or aggravate his injury, they wouldn’t let him. They aren’t stupid. This is a franchise that has one goal and one goal only, why would they fuck that up?
You act like Tomlin and the staff were the ones crazy enough to think Terrell Pryor will someday be a good quarterback…geez

Coaching vs. Injury

In the 1st quarter of the game, Ben threw his first, first quarter picks of the season. Tomlin made the decision to continue to play Ben regardless of the injury that has caused inaccuracy and immobility. Should ben have been playing, NO!!!! Especially not after the 1st quarter of the game. Should Tomlin have pulled Ben after he threw the second pick, YES!!! It’s clear that the tools that are used when Ben goes to the air were not being used. Mike Wallace was over thrown and becasue Ben couldn’t plant to “Accuratley” throw the ball, could not use Wallace for what Wallace is known for and that is the long pass! Charlie Batch would’ve been the more sufficient QB for the game. Wallace averaged 13.2 yards per catch this game with 5 receptions for 66 yards. Had Charlie Batch played, those numbers could’ve been higher. Heath Miller had more yards this game than any other game in the past 5 games with 5 receptions for 82 yards with an average of 16.2 yards per catch. The targets were there, the conversions weren’t. What does this mean? Well, Roethlisberger will need to find a way to target Wallace and Miller more than what he has been and take better advantage of his time in the pocket.

I wouldn’t normally make a bet like this. But, whatever you want to wager, I’m down. I’d comfortably bet things I could never pay off, I’m that sure. This is not a race thing, this is not a bias thing, this is not a “he’s a big meanie picking on my favorite player” thing.
We have went over this. You comparing him to Newton is worse than those people that “always want black QB’s to play a different situation”
You are saying they are similar because they are both black. Their skin is where the similarities end. There is absolutely NO argument to be made for Pryors QB skill…NONE.
As far as if “I was one of them” I’ll tell you my opinion of Cam. I thought he may not be able to adjust to the NFL because he relied on running heavily, and only had one year of real major college experience. However, I could tell he COULD throw.
There are no positive QB qualities present in Terrell Pryor. At least with Tebow you can say “he has a positive attitude, works hard, and is determined.” you can’t say any of those things about Pryor.

But..nice job assuming that because I think Pryor sucks, I have some sort of pattern of racial bias. Very well thought out opinion, based in logic and reason. I suppose my (accurate) assessment of Troy Smith was racially motivated too? It must be my “20th Century” mentality, right?

Finally…unrelated…next time you want to argue that a player will be great in the NFL, don’t use the Heisman as your reason.
(Griffin, Torretta, Troy Smith, Matt Leinart, Jason White (yeah..I know…who?), Eric Crouch…get what I’m saying?
Also, don’t use “academic all American”. We are talking about NFL players.

Apology

First, I would like to apologize for “coming at you” the way that I did. I do not know you personally nor have I talked to you about this matter. That happens too much on some of these posts and I want to separate myself from being opinionated in that respect. I was “ticked of” from the results to the game that had just ended and certain things that transpired during the game. I just felt like “venting”. I am not a good loser when it comes to my sports teams (the Steelers and Georgetown U basketball team). Very foolish and senseless act on my part. I am sure that “many” people (yourself included) were not happy with the result of the game.. I still won’t agree with your assessment on Pryor and Dixon, but I will respect your right to your opinion. Again, sorry for being a “dick”. Maybe I’m spending too much time on the computer (LOL).

Jim called John for advice...

And Tomlin called John to get tips on how to fly out to the west and trip and smash your face in primetime.

I'd sooner get Flacco'd out here in the middle of nowhere than lose face in front of my friends and family.
