[Edman]

This is the game that makes the Steelers' 2014 Season and where it's headed. If they want to be considered back in the saddle and ready to contend in the division and the AFC, they go balls to the wall for 60 minutes to win this game. If they want it, now is the time to earn it.

Baltimore has definitely been the better team the past few years and is the barrier between them and getting back on track.

A pathetic and listless performance like the first game where the Ravens mopped the floor with them, and this team isn't ready for primetime and will remain mediocre and second-tier.

because of Joe Greene, i cant imagine the steelers loosing sunday.

[venom]

Big game tonight - cant be 0-2 against these clowns ! Go Steelers !!!

[Lady Steel]

I posted this in Mean Joe's thread in the Pittsburgh Steelers forum, too, but thought I would share it here also for those who are interested. :)


From Burt Lauten:
The Joe Greene jersey retirement unveiling ceremony at 5:30 pm ET will be broadcast live on Steelers.com (http://steelers.com/) in its entirety.

Big game tonight, the Jets lost today to drop themselves to 1-8 so you better believe next week the Steelers will play their absolute worst regardless of the outcome of this game. They are staring at 5-5 with a loss tonight and a likely loss next week which will be damaging to their playoff hopes in a crowded race

[one side only]

The Ravens haven’t allowed a running back to gain 100 yards or more in 18 straight games. I believe Bell can break that streak, but I think with the Ravens more vulnerable to the pass, he might not get the opportunity.

The Ravens have only given up 7 TD passes all year, fewest in the NFL. Still, with Jimmie Smith out, the Steelers must take their shots downfield. Ladarius Webb has allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 21 of 29 passes in his direction for 268 yards for a 100.9 quarterback rating. Against the Bengals last Sunday, matched up against wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, Webb allowed quarterback Andy Dalton to complete three of four passes for 73 yards.

After games in which Ben Roethlisberger has thrown three or more touchdowns, he has produced one or no touchdown passes in 46 percent of his next games (11 of 24).

Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs needs two sacks to reach 100 for his career, and has 16½ sacks against Roethlisberger, more than any other player. Ben needs to get the ball out quickly, and make some plays on the move.

Steve Smith has 277 yards receiving on third down, second in the NFL behind Golden Tate of the Lions, who has 390 yards receiving on third down. I know who I would double cover.

The Steelers have given up 22 completions on passes that traveled at least 20 yards in the air this season, which is the second most in the NFL. That's an average of 2.75 per game. Quarterbacks are completing a league-high 59.5 percent of their attempts on such passes against the Steelers. Some of that can be attributed to Cortez Allen, but the Steelers must generate a pass rush.

To help stop the Ravens' running game, they must build a lead. When the Ravens have trailed this season, they have run the ball on 34.6 percent of their plays. When they are leading, they run it 54.5 percent of the time.

The Ravens are 25-9 after a loss under head coach John Harbaugh.

The Steelers are a home underdog, which must motivate a least a little bit.

[SteelMayhem72]

Im so damn nervous with this game...to me this is a MUST win!!!

[Lady Steel]

Only one more hour to go!

I guess McCullers had a bad week in practice and Thomas finally showed up? Nah, yet another puzzling personnel decision. McCullers has proven he can get push more than Thomas. Oh well, Let's go Steelers.

[Crow-Magnon]

All I ask is no one gets carted off the field and lost for the season. Other than that....Game On!

This is by far the most important game of the season so far. This is a must win in my eyes. Lets go Steelers!

Keep Ben clean and they win. It's really that simple.

[SteelMayhem72]

I would love nothing more than to blowout these punks!!! Lets Go Steelers!!!

[pepsyman1]

Lets make Mean Joe proud!

[Lady Steel]

I'm so nervous.

LET'S GO STEELERS!

[SteelMayhem72]

I hate ole donkey teeth Suggs!!!

[SteelerFanInStl]

I'd rather deactivate Archer and let McClendon run back the kicks! :chuckle:

[steelerdude15]

Here we go...

[Lady Steel]

Alright, defense, bring it!

[Count Steeler]

Let's go D. Get Flacco on his ass.

[GBMelBlount]

Keep Ben clean and they win. It's really that simple.

Exactly.

I think we need another 35+ point game.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Cam!

[Lady Steel]

Nice play by Heyward.

[pepsyman1]

That's a good start

[Lady Steel]

Crowd is rockin'. Love it!

[steelerdude15]

Alright, let's hope they continue to burn their timeouts.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Wasted a TO already. Ha!

[pepsyman1]

Awesome!

[86WARD]

Come on Defense.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Why cant we cover any TEs?

[pepsyman1]

Is it really necessary for the corners to play TEN full yards off on a 3rd and FIVE.

[Count Steeler]

Bend and don't break. They won't tighten up until the red zone.

[steelerdude15]

Come on D. You gotta do better.

[86WARD]

Nice defensive stand there. Ravens to punt.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Got the stop.

[SteelMayhem72]

nice...watch the fake!!!

[Count Steeler]

Good job D. Surprised me.

[86WARD]

Come on Ben...

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on!!!

[Lady Steel]

LET'S GO BEN & CO.! Lady wants a TD on the first series.

[steelerdude15]

We're deep in our own territory, but Ben can lead us down the field! Let's go O!

[Count Steeler]

Let's go O. Keep the Ravens guessing. Play action, screens, deep passes, running.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Come on Ben

[Lady Steel]

Geesh, I about had a heart attack over a possible interception there.

[Steeltreal]

was that Sweed?

[tube517]

Al pronouncing it correctly, Martavis. Do you believe in miracles, yes!

[Count Steeler]

Convert this.

[86WARD]

Terrible decisions.

[steelerdude15]

Bad way to start by the offense.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Pretty weak start

[Count Steeler]

Not good. 3 and out. Settle down guys.

- - - Updated - - -

We lost on that exchange. Let's go D.

[steelerdude15]

I hope the defense can hold on and do something here.

[SteelMayhem72]

wtf!!!

[Lady Steel]

:(

[Polamalu Princess]

OMG!!!!!!

[tube517]

Cortez McCain

[pepsyman1]

Are you f*ing kidding me

[SteelerFanInStl]

McCain just watched the play happen. Didnt even try to break it up.

[SteelMayhem72]

we have to get pressure on Flunko

[86WARD]

Jeez. They could do that all night if they wanted to...

[Count Steeler]

Pretty quiet in Heinz.

Let's go Steelers!!!

[pepsyman1]

Didn't make any play for the ball or even see it

[Lady Steel]

McCain just watched the play happen. Didnt even try to break it up.

Nope. Just let it fly right past him.

[steelerdude15]

The offense has to answer here.

[st33lersguy]

After a week off, the 2014 Steelers are back.

Also why are Cam Thomas and Steve McClendon still starting. Same question applies to Marcus Dilbert.

You think we can do something called address the cornerback position in the 2015 draft?

[Count Steeler]

Let's go O. Get it in gear.

[NCSteeler]

Obvious we caught the Colts on a bad day.

remember this aint the Colts we r playing...this is a division game

[HollywoodSteel]

Even Bell has to get in on the mediocrity. Big hole to the right and he goes straight.

[steelerdude15]

Great.

[86WARD]

Not pretty. Not pretty.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Where's that team from last week???

[zulater]

`Ben high and wild tonight. It's early but it will get late quick if he doesn't start throwing better soon.

[Count Steeler]

We lose every CB competition.

[steelerdude15]

And they have good field position again.

[SteelMayhem72]

definitely not winning on field position battle either

Rested on their laurels. Someone has to light a fire.

[SteelMayhem72]

gonna be down 2 scores quick

[NCSteeler]

Hadn't thought of it that way. Probably so.

[Lady Steel]

Our defense needs to find a way to get to Flacco. I want him decimated.

[zulater]

First two offensive failures all on Ben. Got early nerves or something. Need to get them out of his system quickly!

[dislocatedday]

Ben has been high with his throws early. The team does not look confident in themselves so far this evening. The Ravens are dictating the flow of this game. Hopefully the Steelers can start developing some momentum quickly.

[Count Steeler]

D has to turn up the heat.

Why make McCullers inactive?

[NCSteeler]

How are we soooo bad at drafting CBs?


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[HollywoodSteel]

We saw how talented this offense really is last week. So we underperform because either our players don't have what it takes to play up to their talent or it's the coaches. Regardless, this is about what I expected.

Don't worry, they'll suck us back in at some point again just to crush us harder.

[SteelMayhem72]

we r playing slow

damnit tackle!!

McCullers has played 14 snaps. With McClendon back, why would anyone expect McCullers to dress?

True story.

[st33lersguy]

Why is that flunk Cam Thomas starting? And has McCullers played too well to stay on the field?

[steelerdude15]

That is what we needed. Come on offense. We need a score.

[Lady Steel]

Run it back, AB!

[Count Steeler]

Good D did their job. Now Ben, settle down and let's get on a roll.

[zulater]

C'mon Ben! Get it together.

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on guys - need to score on this drive!

You know we promised big changes , so there that's it

Cause Cam Thomas can't play. Put McCullers at NT and McLendon can play DE or rotate. Last week's DL >>>> tonight DL

[stillers4me]

We need the bumblebee uniforms.

[Count Steeler]

I got an idea, let's run the ball for 12 straight plays.

[steelerdude15]

That's a drive killer.

[86WARD]

Good Lord.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Throw the damn ball!

[HollywoodSteel]

And there's the delayed draw... All I need to know about this game.

[st33lersguy]

Good lord we need to address the o-line

[Lady Steel]

Alright, LET'S GO!

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on!!!

[Count Steeler]

Gotta get a 1st

[NCSteeler]

Good lord we need to address the o-line

We have been addressing the online for years

[Lady Steel]

He's short.

[steelerdude15]

Another three and out. Just pathetic.

[SteelMayhem72]

offense stagnant

[HollywoodSteel]

I'm starting to hate Bell. JUST FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Steelman]

Oline looks lost today.

[one side only]

Cause Cam Thomas can't play. Put McCullers at NT and McLendon can play DE or rotate. Last week's DL >>>> tonight DL

Again, McCullers has played 14 snaps total. So last week's D -line doesn't include McCullers for the most part. In fact, the Steelers were in the nickel and dime so much, there were only 2 D-linemen on the field most of the time.

[SteelMayhem72]

nice punt

[86WARD]

Flirting with disaster here...

[steelerdude15]

That was a nice punt. Hopefully the defense can cause another three and out.

[Lady Steel]

If Bell woulda ran upfield with the damn ball instead of dickin' around there, we woulda had the 1st down. Grrrr.

[st33lersguy]

Would it hurt to throw ONE F***ING third down pass beyond the first down marker? Just ONE? You can't win by throwing third down passes short of the first down marker all the time

[SteelMayhem72]

alright we need a 3 and out and flip this field position

- - - Updated - - -

coverage is dictating that unfortunately

[HollywoodSteel]

Everyone looks lost. Ben is off target. Bell has been replaced with the ghost of Mendenhall, and Todd Haley has gone back to the delayed draw. It's a cocktail to put us right back where we were before we got all excited about the talent of this offense...

[Lady Steel]

Awww, there's my secret lover, Coach LeBeau. :lol:

[fansince'76]

Yo Haley, where the fuck is the play action?

[tube517]

Need a turnover

[HollywoodSteel]

If Bell woulda ran upfield with the damn ball instead of dickin' around there, we woulda had the 1st down. Grrrr.

They hired Mendenhall as their running backs coach.

[SteelMayhem72]

we look terribly slow on defense...no push

[zulater]

Ravens just got our number. Look no further than the respective coaches.

[one side only]

Looks like Shazier is hurt.

[Lady Steel]

They need to try and punch that ball out.

[Steelman]

Shazier down...

[SteelMayhem72]

shazier down again

[steelerdude15]

That's not good.

[SteelMayhem72]

hell put spence in

[st33lersguy]

Should have drafted CJ Mosley

I feel the same about Marvin and the Bengals.

Baltimore is just a clear cut better team

[SteelMayhem72]

I think this team blew all their "NUT" last week and now nothing is left

[Lady Steel]

Ouch!

[steelerdude15]

Looks like they're looking at his ankle.

[one side only]

hell put spence in

I prefer Vince Williams with Timmons moving back to his natural position.

[Steelman]

At least Tuitt looks alive.

[st33lersguy]

Keep Tuitt in!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Finally got pressure

[steelerdude15]

Good job by Tuitt to get back there.

[86WARD]

Silverback!

[Lady Steel]

YES! FLACCO SACKED BY DEEBO!

[SteelMayhem72]

Deebooooooooooo!!!!

DEEBO!

[tube517]

DEEBO! Tuitt!

[st33lersguy]

Harrison and Stephon Tuitt!

[pepsyman1]

Silverback! (Friggin autocorrect). Lol

[steelerdude15]

I'm sure everyone feels the same way, but it feels so good when James sacks Flacco.

[86WARD]

Ravens also winning the field position game.

[SteelMayhem72]

god damnit brown...gotta get that one!!!

[Lady Steel]

Hopefully, this will ignite this team.

C'mon, boys. Let's go!

[HollywoodSteel]

Backed up again. It's up to Ben. If he wants to be the man he can be.

[Lady Steel]

Bell slips. *sigh*

[Count Steeler]

2 yards 8 to go

[86WARD]

Is Bell still allowed to use the pink mouthguard?

[steelerdude15]

Finally, a first down.

[Steelman]

Oh look, a first down.

[Count Steeler]

1st down!!!

[SteelerFanInStl]

First down!

[Lady Steel]

There we go! Completed pass to AB!

[86WARD]

Still got to get AB 4 catches for 40 yards...don't forget guys!!

[HollywoodSteel]

Okay. Now we remember how to do it... throw to Brown. Repeat.

[steelerdude15]

Is Bell still allowed to use the pink mouthguard?

I was wondering the same thing. I hope he doesn't get fined over it.

[86WARD]

DeCastro getting nasty!

[Lady Steel]

Blount Force Trauma for a gain of 9! Woot!

[Count Steeler]

Nice block DeCastro

[tube517]

Good move putting Blount in there. Bell's tentative

[one side only]

Blount is running with a purpose.

[Polamalu Princess]

Nice!

[Lady Steel]

1st down by Blount! Now we're movin'!

[86WARD]

Nice couple runs by Blount.

Finally showing some life.

Ben trying to keep last week's mojo going. Lol.

So much for this drive

[one side only]

Shazier has an ankle injury; return probable according to Craig Wolfley reporting from the sideline.

[86WARD]

LOL. Seriously? Three sacks in a row??

[HollywoodSteel]

I'm so fucking disgusted. We can't get any momentum. This is exactly what has been killing us all season until last two weeks.

[Lady Steel]

Oh. My. Goodness. Poor Ben.

[steelerdude15]

Might as well just punt. Jesus.

[SteelMayhem72]

wtf....just run then fuckin punt!!!

Punt it on 3rd down.

Oh. My. Goodness. Poor Ben.

Poor us. He got our hopes up by playing lights out last week. He started this game in a vat of jelly. Why is it that they can get fired up for these games and we can't?

[86WARD]

Typical Tomlin team. He's an asshole.

[pepsyman1]

Bi-polar team is in the house tonight

[st33lersguy]

Dilbert doesn't play, no sacks, Dilbert now plays 3 sacks in a row

Foster looks completely lost. Beachum's at least trying. And for the love of God, somebody kick Gibert's sorry ass to the sideline.

[Bluecoat96]

Did anyone else see Ben get slapped in the head on the first sack?

[Count Steeler]

Glad they benched Adams.

Wonder if they have the balls to put him back in. Didn't like any of the personnel changes from last week. Just boggles the mind.

[SteelMayhem72]

Time for Tomlin to start letting some players ride the bench.

[HollywoodSteel]

Well, Mike Adams played so well last week our coachhad to look up what a real coach would do to keep that going... and then do the exact opposite.
