Steelers vs Raiders. September 23 2012

[Edman]

There goes Ryan Mundy being victimized again. Why did we keep this asshole again?

The Quintessential Steelers Road Game.

Road Game against a bad team equals a shitty game. It's always like this. Always.

[SteelerFanInStl]

What the fuck is wrong with this team? Constantly killing themselves with stupid penalties. There's no excuse for being tied at halftime in this game.

[Carolina Steelers]

cant believe we got all the penalties, raiders have 0 penaltys

[steelreserve]

well, at least time to try and score again.

[steelpride12]

Shit we might as well fumble on the kick off and let the Raiders score, we don't wanna be heart broken on their final minute drive to beat us in the 4th.

[Carolina Steelers]

well, at least time to try and score again.


yea run no huddle get in FG range, then we get ball @ half

[steelpride12]

well, at least time to try and score again.
Remember this will an easy game and we will crush them. :scratchchin:

[Devilsdancefloor]

Sounds liks Fouts wants the Steelers to lose

Fouts is a idiot and hates the steelers so yes he is gonna want them to lose

[steelpride12]

Remember when I said having time outs is a huge thing to have even in the first half, yupp it'll kill us here.

[steelreserve]

Honestly, with the number of stupid mistakes we've made in the first half, it shows how bad the Raiders are that they aren't flat-out kicking our asses right now.

[Devilsdancefloor]

Lets go O

[Edman]

Not sure why you guys are all upset or surprised by this??? Were playing sloppy against a hungry team and a QB who knows how to beat us. It's a simple, but perfect set-up for a disaster.

Nobody's upset or surprised. It just happens. I'm more upset at the fans were all like "we got this in the bag", when they know how bad the Steelers are as a road team.

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on guys - keep the faith. I know that things are looking bad now, but they can still pull this off.

[Devilsdancefloor]

wallace nice run after catch

[steelreserve]

Nobody's upset or surprised. It just happens. I'm more upset at the fans were all like "we got this in the bag", when they know how bad the Steelers are as a road team.

In fairness, most of them weren't saying that. Just me. I still firmly believe the Raiders will find a way to squander it in the second half, or maybe even right here.

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice but hurry up

[The Duke]

nice moves Batch!!!!

[X-Terminator]

Nobody's upset or surprised. It just happens. I'm more upset at the fans were all like "we got this in the bag", when they know how bad the Steelers are as a road team.

They all forgot about that. I'm still predicting an upset, and so far, it's looking that way unless they cut out the crap in the 2nd half. The Steelers always...ALWAYS...play down to their opponents when they play against a bad team, and not just on the road either.

[Polamalu Princess]

Good job Batch.

[venom]

Nice job Batch

[Devilsdancefloor]

Nice BB

[crcsnail]

would like to see us go for a deep throw

[ALLD]

Instead of trying to hold the ball for 12 mins every quarter the Steelers need to speed it up and score some points.

[Edman]

I don't know why the hell they even try to run the ball. If Ben has to throw 50 times in order to win, then do it. The run game is absolute garbage. And the penalties need to stop right now.

The Run game isn't the problem, dude.

It's the dumb penalties and mistakes that are killing us.

[Count Steeler]

No time outs, let's get it to the sidelines.

[Devilsdancefloor]

Heath hurry up

[venom]

Wow

[steelpride12]

FIRST DOWN!

[ALLD]

Hitting a defenseless receiver not called.

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on O!!!!

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice way to hang on

[The Duke]

that was a nice hit!!

[fansince'76]

Would've been nice if we hadn't pissed away all our timeouts.

[venom]

What a throw and catch

[Count Steeler]

Nice catch Sanders, and way to hang on.

[86WARD]

Was that shift the Raiders did even legal?

[steelpride12]

Well that was a damn good drive! 17-14 feels a little better!

[venom]

Nice drive guys

[steelreserve]

OK, well hopefully at least we get some points out of it, and get the ball back.

[Devilsdancefloor]

hate they played for a FG

[Count Steeler]

Good lesson on why you need timeouts for the 2 minute offense. Cmon Swish!

[ALLD]

Chargers and Eagles are blank.

[venom]

Don't mush him Ian

[steelpride12]

If that last pass was to the sideline we may have had at least 2 more chances at the endzone.

[X-Terminator]

The Run game isn't the problem, dude.

It's the dumb penalties and mistakes that are killing us.

Yeah I know that, but they haven't done shit on the ground and the one fumble was on a run play. Just quit trying to do it and pass all damn night!

[steelreserve]

I hate icing the kicker. It's been shown they miss just as often when they don't do it as when they do. So this right here is just a waste of my motherfucking time.

[salamander]

Come on... let's at least get the FG here...

[steelpride12]

Good lesson on why you need timeouts for the 2 minute offense. Cmon Swish!
I called that at the end of the first, I knew it would come to haunt us.

[venom]

Chargers and Eagles are blank.

Houston looking good also

[Polamalu Princess]

At least we are leading going into the half.

[venom]

It's good !

[ALLD]

They need to group three WRs on the left and Cotchery on the right. Run some deeper passing when it is available by design.

[The Duke]

At least we get the ball

would be nice to get a long drive for 6 to start the half

[steelreserve]

ok, at least we're ahead.

And now, instead of a bunch of commercials, enjoy this song about a cat flushing a toilet.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFp1z7uA6g

[salamander]

I'll definitely take the lead going into half time. Gotta stop shooting ourselves in the foot so damn much.

[crcsnail]

swish looking solid this season

[Count Steeler]

No more penalties, gentlemen. We have given they some key penalties too often.

[Devilsdancefloor]

re group and stop the stupid penalties

[fansince'76]

ok, at least we're ahead.

And now, instead of a bunch of commercials, enjoy this song about a cat flushing a toilet.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFp1z7uA6g

How many have you had so far today, SR? :lol:

[ALLD]

I would rather win ugly than lose pretty.

[Edman]

Yeah I know that, but they haven't done shit on the ground and the one fumble was on a run play. Just quit trying to do it and pass all damn night!

Yes, abandon the run game and don't run again, even when we run into a situation when we need to run, just throw the ball all day. 5 Wide every single play with this O-Line.

The run game is doing it's job besides the fumble.

[Count Steeler]

I haven't seen them call an outside run play for Batch. He is always called on, tackle to tackle. I would love to see him on a sweep.

[Edman]

I lost count on the number of penalties the Steelers had.

All I know is that Chokeland has 0. ZERO.

[steelreserve]

How many have you had so far today, SR? :lol:

Enough to keep my rage at the first half in check, let's put it that way. But if we play the same in the second half, it could get ugly.

[The Duke]

I haven't seen them call an outside run play for Batch. He is always called on, tackle to tackle. I would love to see him on a sweep.

agree

instead we get Dwyer on them. Would be nice to switch those two roles wouldn't it....

[venom]

Eagles score !! Lol

[Carolina Steelers]

I would rather win ugly than lose pretty.


I agree a win on the road is tough against any NFL, theres only 16 games every win is tough.

[Edman]

The Niners went up to Minnesota and was shredded by Christian Ponder. The Jets we demolished beat the Dolphins who demolished these same Raiders. Tennesee beat Detroit, Jacksonville beat Indy, and Kansas City beat New Orleans.

It's been the day of Upsets. I don't care how the Steelers pull this out, but they just have to pull it out somehow. It's one of those weekends in the NFL.

Brace yourselves, folks. We're in for some wacky shit this half.

[X-Terminator]

Yes, abandon the run game and don't run again, even when we run into a situation when we need to run, just throw the ball all day. 5 Wide every single play with this O-Line.

The run game is doing it's job besides the fumble.

I have no confidence in the running game, and given that Ben has already attempted 31 passes, the coaching staff doesn't either. So they may as well keep putting the ball in the air.

[steelerdude15]

ok, at least we're ahead.

And now, instead of a bunch of commercials, enjoy this song about a cat flushing a toilet.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFp1z7uA6g

:rofl2:

[salamander]

False Start lol

[Polamalu Princess]

Already....gee.

[steelpride12]

Penalty #7

[steelreserve]

ok, we've got to do better in the second half.

Total Yards - PIT 235, OAK 105
Passsing Yards - PIT 207, OAK 30
First Downs - PIT 15, OAK 5
Possession: PIT 21:36, OAK 8:24

We are basically dominating the game and handed them 14 points. We can do better than this.

[steelpride12]

3rd and long coming up, Ben with a few ugly throws hm.

[salamander]

Well they're looking like crap so far this half.

[ALLD]

Rothlisberger went to sleep in the locker room.

[Polamalu Princess]

Great play.

[steelpride12]

Great catch Wallace, Ben limping sighhhhhh.

[Edman]

Where the fuck is the flag on that play?

[steelerdude15]

WOW, NO FLAG?

[steelreserve]

Well they're looking like crap so far this half.

Probably smoked too much of that good Oakland crack. Little-known outside NFL circles, Oakland is the only city in the league to offer a full no-host crack bar in each locker room.

[Steelman]

WHERE's THE EFFING FLAG???

[Polamalu Princess]

Shake it off Ben.

[steelpride12]

THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PENALTY FOR THAT HIT ON BEN WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Duke]

illegal hit on ben not called

shocked!!

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice catch wallace and bn took a hit

[Polamalu Princess]

Yes!

[steelreserve]

Where the fuck is the flag on that play?

It's called the CARSON PALMER RULE, duh. Not the Ben Roethlisberger Rule.

[steelpride12]

Ben to Brown, I could say that all day long!

[ALLD]

Shake it off.

[Polamalu Princess]

Keep moving the chains.

[Edman]

We need a touchdown here.

Shake it off, Ben.

[The Duke]

heck yeah! Break their will through the air!

[salamander]

Ok so maybe they're playing a little better than I thought. We need a score here!

[ALLD]

WFT, why would they call a quick slant and take what the D gives them and avoid any hits on Ben? I don't recognize this O.

[steelreserve]

|This is the kind of offense we're SUPPOSED to be running, because Oakland has no fucking clue what to do about it. Hopefully that was an adjustment they made at halftime.

[Count Steeler]

Just intercepted a memo from Goodell to the refs for this game: "Under no circumstances call any penalties on the Raiders"

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice keep it up

[ALLD]

Another missed call on the Raiders. Not one flag on the Raiders. That is the definition of a conspiracy.

[Polamalu Princess]

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[steelreserve]

OHHHHHHHHHHH nice!!

[Edman]

Just what we needed. We need more of that shit.

[The Duke]

Wow, so open....

[Count Steeler]

WALLACE! BEN!!!!!!

[steelerdude15]

Awesome!

[steelpride12]

WIDE OPEN MIKE WALLACE!!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT!

[86WARD]

Great play by Ben and Wallace...

[HollywoodSteel]

That's how it's done!

[ALLD]

Wide the F open. There was nobody else in the Ez besides Wallace. I could beat the Raiders at this point.

[Devilsdancefloor]

come on guys

[Steelman]

Ben's pissed. Time to take the Faders to the woodshed.

[Devilsdancefloor]

TDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[steelerdude15]

Anyone see Mikey's spirit fingers? :chuckle:

[steelreserve]

I have to admit I was screaming at him to run for the first down but had no idea Wallace was that wide open way down the field.

Anyway, good. We are now covering the spread again and I can stop pacing quite so much.

[ALLD]

One more TD should seal it.

[Edman]

Another missed call on the Raiders. Not one flag on the Raiders. That is the definition of a conspiracy.

Gotta play above the refs.

I thought this game was legit, but the Steelers are against the Raiders and the Zebras today. Now we have to kick their ass. If you remember the Steelers took a whole new level of intensity last week when faced with the same shit against the Jets.

[Count Steeler]

Wallace and Ben definitely have a chemistry that needs to stay together. We need to get Wallace signed in the off season.

[salamander]

TD!!! Ben looked like he was almost past the line of scrimmage though. I'll take it though!

On a side note, did they REALLY have to go to commercial before the PAT? Like seriously...

[steelreserve]

Wide the F open. There was nobody else in the Ez besides Wallace. I could beat the Raiders at this point.


Ben's pissed. Time to take the Faders to the woodshed.

Hey guys, come on. What happened to the upset because we always play down to their level?

[Godfather]

How do you lose sight of #17??

[steelpride12]

That right there is why Ben belongs in the "Elite" class to the league. Who else can do what he did?!

[steelerdude15]

Tapenade! :lol:

[X-Terminator]

Should be 31-7. Thanks for all the penalties, guys.

[salamander]

And we give up the long return lol

[Devilsdancefloor]

Geez ST

[Edman]

That right there is why Ben belongs in the "Elite" class to the league. Who else can do what he did?!

But Joe Flacco is the best QB in the AFC North you know?

[Devilsdancefloor]

How do you lose sight of #17??

he is to fast just a blurrr :lol:

[Count Steeler]

Out ST's still need some work

[Devilsdancefloor]

Lets Go D no mercy

[steelreserve]

That has to be a record. Touchdown, commercial. PAT, commercial. Kickoff, commercial. Maybe they'll start showing ads between plays for the rest of the half. Payback for the commercial-free first quarter.

[Edman]

And we give up the long return lol

If the Defense doesn't undergo a catastrophic break down, it doesn't matter where the Raiders start. Their O has been pathetic today besides that long TD run.

[Kittyfish]

Radio guys calling Ben "10 feet tall and bulletproof" and say he is playing like surgeon, like a violin virtuoso, seeing the field and making few mistakes. Let's hope Ben can keep it up and they aren't talking too soon and jinxing him.

[steelpride12]

Well like I said our run D so far this season worried me, I hope Harrison fixes that right up.

[Devilsdancefloor]

Cmon

[steelerdude15]

Love the hold...

[Count Steeler]

We're going to give it back that easily? Cmon D!

[X-Terminator]

Radio guys calling Ben "10 feet tall and bulletproof" and say he is playing like surgeon, like a violin virtuoso, seeing the field and making few mistakes. Let's hope Ben can keep it up and they aren't talking too soon and jinxing him.

Unfortunately, you just jinxed him by posting that...

[steelerdude15]

Jesus, our D so fair has played poor this year for the most part.

[Devilsdancefloor]

Damn Ike

[Edman]

3rd Down. GET OFF THE FIELD.

[Devilsdancefloor]

Nice woodley

[steelpride12]

Here they go marching on down the field.

[fansince'76]

C'mon D!

[ALLD]

No holding calls whatsoever.

[salamander]

And here we go with the D giving up the yards. Impose your will, guys!

[salamander]

Pretty sure there was yet another uncalled hold on the Raiders.

[ALLD]

They need to disrupt Palmer's rhythm.

[steelpride12]

I can't believe were going to give up an easy 7. Is that Tom Brady out there?!

[salamander]

This is pathetic...

[steelerdude15]

pathetic

[Devilsdancefloor]

Dammit

[steelpride12]

HAHAHAHA LOL this is hilarious.

[The Duke]

1st pathetic drive by the D

ugh...

[steelerdude15]

our defense is pathetic

[86WARD]

This defense is horrible right now...HORRIBLE.

[Polamalu Princess]

:poop::poop:

[salamander]

I think Dan Fouts is gonna have an orgasm talking about the Raiders.

[Steelman]

Mundy is sucking worse than usual.

[Devilsdancefloor]

this is nuts hellllloooo D

[steelpride12]

I'm actually smiling because I knew all along how this game would turn out and so far I'm looking damn good. I know well win, but it won't be pretty and well all be frustrated for a couple weeks after this one.

[43Hitman]

elbow appeared to be down before ball crossed the line.

[Kittyfish]

Unfortunately, you just jinxed him by posting that... Eeep = maybe I did. At least it didn't help the defense. We'll see if Ben starts playing poorly, in which case I will edit my post to say the radio guys say Ben should be cut or traded at the first opportunity as he is so useless and bad.

[Count Steeler]

This is just not going to be a cake walk. We just don't have the "it" yet. Right now, the Raiders are finishing their plays better than our D is.

[The Duke]

theyr'e still going to score....

[X-Terminator]

Offense is going to have to step up again. Defense and special teams...

[Count Steeler]

A fumble would be poetic justice.

[fansince'76]

NOW the defense wakes up?

[86WARD]

There you go D.

[Steelman]

My eyes deceive me!

[The Duke]

why was Will Allen even in? Mundy got benched finally?

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice

[steelerdude15]

I hope Will is alright.

[Devilsdancefloor]

will Allen hurt now dang it

[salamander]

He was wide open lol

[steelerdude15]

pathetic

[The Duke]

yup, down to the wire

at the very least I would like to see our defense not sucking. It's like McFadden and Palmer didn't have to try this drive

[Devilsdancefloor]

the D is playing beyond horrible

[Count Steeler]

It's still middle of the 3rd quarter? This game is going too slow.

Time to have a 10 min drive.

[Steelman]

Dang.

Hampton is getting owned on the line. And Mundy again. Can't we put Cortez or somebody else out there? Sheesh.

[86WARD]

Oh well...

[HollywoodSteel]

A shoot out with the Raiders, how fun. If never run the ball again it will be too soon.

[Count Steeler]

Now let's see our wonderful ST. Any bets on how many holding calls?

[fansince'76]

Dodged a bullet there.

[steelerdude15]

Talk about luck...

[HollywoodSteel]

Jesus we got lucky there

[salamander]

Wow... gutsy call by the Raiders

[Polamalu Princess]

Great field position for us.

[The Duke]

heh definitely a desperate team

got lucky there. And get the field position :)

[steelerdude15]

They shouldn't be talking for this long

[salamander]

Yeahhh we definitely got lucky there.

[steelerdude15]

heh definitely a desperate team

got lucky there. And get the field position :)

Lets hope the Steelers can take advantage of this and score.

[steelpride12]

7 points here O?

[Count Steeler]

Hey guys, we are playing a team that actually WANTS to win. WAKE UP!

[steelerdude15]

What the heck is going on?

[ALLD]

These refs are bad.

[salamander]

Wtf are these refs doing?

[The Duke]

wow this is pathetic

[Polamalu Princess]

?????????????

[Count Steeler]

Well, the flow of this game hasn't gotten down to a trickle.

[steelerdude15]

I guess a plane is coming in. :chuckle:

[Steelman]

The heck is going on right now?!

[ALLD]

Look at the replay on where to spot the ball and let's get going. I have to go to work tomorrow.

[steelpride12]

Well maybe this long ass break will cool the hot Raiders hehe :P

[Count Steeler]

After the commercial, "After consulting with Goodell, we have been advised that this should be Raiders football."

[steelpride12]

HEATHHH!

[Polamalu Princess]

HEATH!!!!!!!!!!!

[steelerdude15]

Ben has been on point today.

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice catch Heath

[Count Steeler]

Cmon, guys, lets put this away. Overcome the refs and our lethargic D.

[steelpride12]

I mean even if we win this game I will not be happy. We have no run game, the ST is lacking and the D has it's good spots, but a lot to work on. If it wasn't for this passing attack we may be 0-3.

[steelerdude15]

come on

[steelpride12]

Penalty #8 for the Steelers.

[Devilsdancefloor]

back to 2 yards on the ground

[fansince'76]

Ben has been on point today.

He's the ONLY reason we're not staring at an 0-3 start.

[salamander]

Hey refs, feel free to call a penalty on the Raiders any time now...

[Count Steeler]

At least we are blowing them out in the penalties.

[Devilsdancefloor]

this is gettting stupid stop the penalties

[X-Terminator]

I can't believe the Raiders apparently have not been flagged once today.

[steelpride12]

First down to Heath!!! Finally get the recognition he deserves!

[steelerdude15]

Awesome job by Heath and Ben!

[Count Steeler]

Horrible play.

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice catch heath 1st down

[steelpride12]

LOL if we would have lost that ball in the endzone!

[The Duke]

lucky as hell there...

touchdown bby!!!!

[Polamalu Princess]

OMG - boy are we lucky.

[Steelman]

Holy cow! LOL

[Count Steeler]

Obviously going to be reviewed. Let's not celebrate just yet

[Devilsdancefloor]

i was so hoping they tore that damn delayed draw out of the play book

[steelerdude15]

O look, Seymor is having another fit.

[Polamalu Princess]

What did I miss???

[Devilsdancefloor]

ABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[steelpride12]

Colon starts some fights, great.

[Count Steeler]

Nice recovery Brown. Should be a TD.

[salamander]

That was almost ugly but they just gotta walk away no matter what the other team does. Hopefully this doesn't hurt us too much.

[Devilsdancefloor]

i like Willie standing up to him

[steelpride12]

So with 1:31 left in the 3rd, the Raiders receive their first penalty, LOL sad sad sad league.

[Steelman]

Raiders penalty!? Of course it'd be for fighting. Go figure.

[Count Steeler]

Oh shit, the Raiders got a penalty. Now we are going to have to pay.

[salamander]

That was almost ugly but they just gotta walk away no matter what the other team does. Hopefully this doesn't hurt us too much.

Nevermind. TD Brown!!!! The penalty goes against Oakland.

[Count Steeler]

Hope the D gets some nastiness now. Kick the crap out of Cartoon.

[steelpride12]

Thankfully we have the most potent passing game in the league, phew! Ben with 4 TD passes, no INT's and not sacked once <-----I jinxed it!

[Polamalu Princess]

Golly Gee.

[steelpride12]

It's good!!!! 31-21, D's turn to get another turnover!

[X-Terminator]

Thankfully we have the most potent passing game in the league, phew! Ben with 4 TD passes, no INT's and not sacked once <-----I jinxed it!

You and Kittyfish may now put on your Dunce caps and sit in the corner. :wink02:

Nice to see the offense doing its job. Now if the ST and D can wake the fuck up...

[steelerdude15]

Thankfully we have the most potent passing game in the league, phew! Ben with 4 TD passes, no INT's and not sacked once <-----I jinxed it!

I will kill you. :chuckle:

[86WARD]

Lucky bounce there...jeez...

[Count Steeler]

Hey STs, can you cover a KO from our own 50?

[86WARD]

Wallace should've been penalized there for smacking Seymour more than once...bitch move.

[Count Steeler]

Couldn't even clear the end zone from the 50?
