2015 - Game 5 - @San Diego Chargers - October 12 - ESPN

[ETL]

Boswell for president

[Steelman]

HOLY SHIT! WE MADE A FIELD GOAL!

[TexasSteeler]

7-3

[ETL]

Is Scobee the most hated ex-Steeler or is it Blount?

[ALLD]

I would give Vick another series to use the no huddle. What they are doing with choreography and timing routes will guarantee us a loss.

[NCSteeler]

Vick is going to have to call and complete a pass against the 12 in the box look, if we are going to have any chance.

The Wizard of BOZ!!!

[JayC]

AND HE KICKED IT ALMOST OUT THE ENDZONE. I LOVE THIS KID

[lipps83]

I don't understand why you would have a QB on the team if you are afraid of them throwing the football.

That is absurd.

[steelcityboyz]

Cmon Tomlin get your homie out and give Landry a chance

[fansince'76]

I just hope the defense doesn't give up their patented cheap end-of-half TD. The Steelers with Vick are like the Kordell Era Steelers - a double-digit deficit will be pretty much insurmountable.

[ETL]

Need a turnover

[ALLD]

We need a turnover now.

[Steeldude]

Kicking in an environment with no wind. Let's wait until he faces windy conditions at Pitt.

[steelerdude15]

Never thought we'd see the day...

[JayC]

JONES? YOU DONT SAY

[86WARD]

SOLID!!

[Steelman]

JJ sighting!

[steelcityboyz]

Jarvis????????????

[lipps83]

Jones best play in over 2 years of football.

[fansince'76]

Kicking in an environment with no wind. Let's wait until he faces windy conditions at Pitt.

Still better than Scobee who couldn't hit one over 40 anywhere...

[steelerdude15]

If the Steelers could score a touchdown here, that would be awesome.

[86WARD]

lol...Gates still almost caught that between 4 Steelers. Pass rush has been nice.

[JayC]

ok, fire the special teams coach

[steelerdude15]

88 with a hold. Jesus.

[Count Steeler]

Fire the special teams coach. Disgusting.

[86WARD]

#4 penalty on Special Teams...

[ALLD]

Hahhaha more STs holding and blocking in the back. I knew not to do that in 4th grade flag football which is not far removed from what we are watching right now.

[Steelman]

Tell Danny to leave at halftime. Why do we need a ST coach at this point?

[ETL]

Please make the special teams players wear mittens with no thumbs. Or just cut their fucken hands off!!!

[EzraTank]

LOL just fair catch it and march off 10 yards it would be better.

[SteeleReign]

Seriously. Why keep Danny Smith at this point? Seriously. Why?

[86WARD]

Chargers can tackle.

[Steeldude]

Oh no, now some people here are going to say Jones is awesome. Haha

[lipps83]

Oh my, this is going to make me cry. VICK IS SO HORRIBLE.

Please put in Jones.

[ALLD]

Bell looks gassed. Chargers are teeing off on him. Send in Williams.

[vindrow]

Damn, just give the ball to Bell and Brown and let them win the game.

[JayC]

Oh my, this is going to make me cry. VICK IS SO HORRIBLE.

Please put in Jones.

no thanks vick is horrible but jones is probably worse.

[SteelMayhem72]

Put landry jones in after half please...at least he will throw the ball downfield

[zulater]

You can thank Cam Heyward for that last 3 and out from the Chargers. He crushed the pocket the last two plays causing a sack and then an incompletion. Yes I know Jarvis got the sack, but Cam caused it.

[86WARD]

Tell Danny to leave at halftime. Why do we need a ST coach at this point?

We probably don't need Tomlin out there either. Just let Ben and Haley run the show...lol. Was Munchak on vacation this week?

[ETL]

Can't watch this amateur shit. All these penalties have nothing to do with Ben being out. Now I know why they call it special teams. It's where all the "special" ed kids play.

[Steelman]

You can thank Cam Heyward for that last 3 and out from the Chargers. He crushed the pocket the last two plays causing a sack and then an incompletion. Yes I know Jarvis got the sack, but Cam caused it.

Hey at least Jarvis got off the block to go give Rivers a hug. That's definite improvement.

[86WARD]

BELL!!!!

[ALLD]

SD D fell asleep during the 2 minute warning.

[steelerdude15]

Excellent block by David by pushing him out of the way.

[ETL]

Why take a time out?

[Count Steeler]

time for a QB draw?

[Texasteel]

7-3

Welcome to SU bud.

[ALLD]

Vick looks overwhelmed with the playbook. Let him go no huddle to see what he can make happen.

[fansince'76]

time for a QB draw?

No! Only on third-and-long!

[86WARD]

That was a terrible throw...lol.

[zulater]

Hey at least Jarvis got off the block to go give Rivers a hug. That's definite improvement.

I wasn't knocking Jones, I was complimenting the awesome job Cam Heyward is doing.

[Count Steeler]

There they should have taken a time out.

[lipps83]

VICK IS SO BAD. PLEASE PUT IN JONES. HE CANNOT BE WORSE.

[86WARD]

Why not take a timeout???? That play was late getting out there, late getting lined up and then hurried. Fucking stupid.

[steelerdude15]

Thanks Vick for such a shitty throw and Cody continues to not do good against one on one blocking. He doesn't finish his block.

[SteelMayhem72]

Vick SUCKS!!!!!!!!

[ETL]

Because they took the time out - the Chargers now have more time.

[zulater]

I'm ready for Landry Jones. Vick just doesn't see the field.

[ALLD]

Why didn't the Steelers call a timeout? Tomlin clock management?

[Steelman]

I wasn't knocking Jones, I was complimenting the awesome job Cam Heyward is doing.

Nah I know. I was being sarcastic about Jones and his ability to only get unblocked sacks. Haha.

[steelerdude15]

The defense is going to have to win us the game because Vick is incapable of doing it.

[ETL]

I normally don't criticize the coaching but the use of time outs is just brainless

[86WARD]

If San Diego is smart they just throw to Gates 5 times and they'll score a TD.

[steelcityboyz]

need a pick 6

[ETL]

Who's that guy that looks like Lurch

[ALLD]

Vixk is shell shocked from the pressure. I think he would rather be retired again the way he looks out there. He isn't competitive at all.

haha, now the Steelers call a timeout when the Chargers have the ball. It's like Tomlin is not even watching the game.

[EzraTank]

Vick makes Randall Cunningham's street football look like the West Coast offense.

[ETL]

Pick 6 please

[86WARD]

lol. Easy 4 yard conversion when the DBs are 8 yards off the line and back peddling on the snap.

[steelerdude15]

Just make the tackle...

[zulater]

Nice we called that time out to preserve their drive.

[steelcityboyz]

I'm fucking sick watching a real Qb pick us apart

[steelerdude15]

Lawrence should have just blown Woodhead up.

[86WARD]

Vixk is shell shocked from the pressure. I think he would rather be retired again the way he looks out there. He isn't competitive at all.

haha, now the Steelers call a timeout when the Chargers have the ball. It's like Tomlin is not even watching the game.

He's clueless. He tries to be cutting edge, but he just trips over himself every time.

"We won't use a time out on offense when our offense is confused and a mess, but I'll use it for the Chargers because our D will line up 8 yards off the receivers on 3rd & 4 and we'll get the stop." Moron.

[steelerdude15]

James read that like it was nothing.

[Steelman]

James read that like it was nothing.

Maybe he can teach the secondary how to do that.

[ALLD]

I can't believe people paid money for tickets to this game.

Golden just looked like Deshea Townsend.

[86WARD]

I'm fucking sick watching a real Qb pick us apart

Meh...you wouldn't have to be a "real" QB to pick this team apart...

[steelerdude15]

Lets hope that miss field goal works in our favor come the second half.

[zulater]

Give the defense credit for keeping us in this game so far.

[Rotorhead]

Wtf do you not call TO when the play is messed up, sorry just at half now

[86WARD]

Does Vick throw to the endzone or do the Steelers take a knee?

[steelerdude15]

Just down it to be safe.

[ALLD]

DHB was pulled away from the ball. That was a no call.

[steelerdude15]

Heyward doesn't even attempt to go back to the ball... So stupid.

[zulater]

How was that not PI? DHB was hugged going into the end zone on that hail Mary.

[SteelMayhem72]

Why not the hail mary...stupid!!! At least put all your receivers down there??

[86WARD]

Vick is one of the more inaccurate long ball throwers the NFL has seen. No Pass Interference? lol.

[Bluecoat96]

DHB was pulled away from the ball. That was a no call.
Exactly. I saw that as well.

[Steelman]

Time for Tomlin to light a fire under these guys' asses and meet with his coaches to make adjustments on the game plan.

Oh wait.

"I don't see any obvious issues there. We feel good about our guys in that regard."

:coffee:

[ALLD]

SD will win 13-10. Goodnight everybody!

[86WARD]

"Solid First Half."

[fansince'76]

The Steelers offense with Vick:

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--duGxncNJ--/18nd9eddunkvmjpg.jpg

[tube517]

Pass Interference would not have mattered anyways. They would have given the ball to Nix at the goal line and he would have been tackled at the 5 yard line.

[86WARD]

Offense with Ben...rolled into Offense with Vick...

Would've been BOZ TIME!

[Rotorhead]

At least we made a FG, could have used Boz last week and week 1

[SteelerFanInStl]

I'm done with Vick. He can't even make the easiest throws.

[Texasteel]

Need to stop them on the first drive, then let Bell be Bell.

[86WARD]

Steelers Defensive Rush numbers must be ridiculous right now...if not for Forsett. Gordon with 10 rushing through the half.

[steelerdude15]

He should have been stopped well before the ten yard line.

[86WARD]

Nice tackle Blake...oh...

[Steelman]

Whiffffffff.

[fansince'76]

If they make it 14-3 this game will be for all intents and purposes over.

[steelerdude15]

So what was Blake doing?

[86WARD]

Heard RIvers yelling out "MVP"...must've been calling out Jarvis Jones.

[TexasSteeler]

Fumble!

[JayC]

jones best day ever

[steelerdude15]

Look, it's our friend Jarvis!

[86WARD]

GOrdon fumbles and the Steelers recover!! Thomas with the recovery!

[Steelman]

Mr. Solid and Mr. Shitbrains!

[Bluecoat96]

Way to go Melvin. Thanks for the ball. Lol

[Mojouw]

Jarvis Jones and Shamarko Thomas did something good on the same play?

Any one check...is hell frozen over?

[86WARD]

Jones having a career game...lol. Sack and FF. I smell Digest player of the week!!

- - - Updated - - -


Jarvis Jones and Shamarko Thomas did something good on the same play?

No...but expecting a Vick fumble here.

[JayC]

bell didn't even look down

[zulater]

Why did they blow the whistle on that play?

[EzraTank]

WTH is that chick ref blowing that play down? Bell was still moving forward?

[86WARD]

Nice move by Bell to gain 3.

[steelerdude15]

Come on guys, you need to get points off this turnover.

[lipps83]

Fuck!

If you are afraid to have Vick throw the fucking ball then put Landry Jones in.

[steelerdude15]

What an awful playcall.

[lipps83]

Turning the game off. This is ridiculous. They aren't interested in winning, they are just playing.

[EzraTank]

Seriously just cut Vick.

[zulater]

It's as if there's not a qb on the team. Oh that's right there's not.

[86WARD]

TERRIBLE FUCKING BLOCKING AND TERRIBLE PLAY CALL.

[Steelman]

Run-run-run. Wow.

[SteelMayhem72]

Wtf was that on 3rd down

[steelerdude15]

You know what would be great? A safety.

[Mojouw]

Vick is about as bad as that last game Batch played where he couldn't throw anymore.

It might be time to give Landry Jones a call. I'm serious. How could it be worse?

[Mach1]

Dont trust Vick to throw it's time for landry

[SteelMayhem72]

You know what would be great? A safety.
Still lose 7-5

[Mojouw]

Wtf was that on 3rd down

Complete and total lack of faith in your QB to execute anything beyond a 1 yard throw.

[Steelman]

OK I'm done with this shit. Put Landry in if you're going to hand the ball off three times in a row every drive. At least Landry can throw a slant route.

[fansince'76]

Hope the D can score a TD...

[86WARD]

A shitty O-Line + shitty play calls + shitty back up QB + shit for a coaching staff = 2015 Pittsburgh Steelers

[SteeleReign]

Remember when Antonio Brown was a thing....man, those were good times.

[JayC]

Vick didn't even get to throw the ball on that drive and people will still blame him for the 3 and out

[SteelMayhem72]

Im sick of vick at least put a qb that will throw the ball downfield...jones will do that and knows the offense better

[86WARD]

Wtf was that on 3rd down

That was most likely the result of the 4th & 2 play against the Ravens that people wanted so bad...

[dislocatedday]

I am tired of this "playing not to lose' mentality/gameplan. Defense is giving this team every opportunity, and the offense is just afraid. If they have no faith in Vick, then just put Landry Jones in (...words I never thought I would utter..).

[vindrow]

Vick Can't do a damn thing, so put in Jones he can't do any worse than this.

[86WARD]

Shocker...Gates wide open.

[SteeleReign]

Vick didn't even get to throw the ball on that drive and people will still blame him for the 3 and out

I think the coaches finally figured out that Vick can't throw, read a defense, go through progressions, or run anymore.

[JayC]

how about Cockrell though. shutting down Allen pretty good so far.

[steelerdude15]

There's Bud!

[86WARD]

BUD.

[dislocatedday]

Man...Bud smoked that RT. I like that !!

[Mach1]

Vick didn't even get to throw the ball on that drive and people will still blame him for the 3 and out
It's not Vicks fault he can't hit the broad side of a barn [emoji19]

[86WARD]

Where's the hold flag?

nevermind...

[JayC]

no holding or block in the back. they must've fired the special teams coach at the half

[lipps83]

Defense playing awesome against a pretty good offense. Too bad the offense wants to handoff every single play because they don't want to play the QB on the team not hurt that can actually throw a ball.

This is ridiculous.

[vindrow]

Of course with this play-calling from Haley, I doubt any QB would be good.

[fansince'76]

At least the D is keeping them in it so far.

[Steelman]

Damn I was watching Cespedes absolutely demolish a HR to the second deck and missed Bud's sack!

Defense is playing pretty well right now.

[Mojouw]

Lets see if Vick rediscovers the forward pass as a concept.

[NCSteeler]

Between the fumble recovery and no Allen we,ll be seeing much more Shark

[86WARD]

Jeez...give the guy a couple seconds...for fuck sake. He's terrible enough without the O-Line adding to it.

[fansince'76]

Sigh...

[Rotorhead]

Can we get a first down now?

[EzraTank]

No pocket presence ... he just moves right into that sack.

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on - buck up!

[86WARD]

Screen? Terrible play calls.

[steelerdude15]

Another awful throw by Vick.

[Steelman]

Despicable.

[86WARD]

No pocket presence ... he just moves right into that sack.

Wrong. Vick is terrible, but that wasn't his fault. That pass though shouldve been a pick 6.

[NCSteeler]

He had about fifty clear yards to pull it down and run


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[EzraTank]

How can you NOT give Jones a shot now? Vick clearly just blows and is still retired.

[steelerdude15]

We need a pick six from the defense. Two nice punts in a row.

[fansince'76]

That's why they're not letting him throw it beyond the LOS. That was almost a pick-6.

[lipps83]

Jeez...give the guy a couple seconds...for fuck sake. He's terrible enough without the O-Line adding to it.

They can't. Chargers are sending the house every play because they know they don't have to defend the pass.

[JayC]

alright, i think i've seen enough of vick now tonight haha. LJ could only be worse if he turns it over. if he goes 0 for 10 with 10 sacks he'll be equal

[SteeleReign]

Doh! They said it...."bring in Landry Jones..." You know, if ol' Chuckie wants a new job I'd fire Mike tomorrow.

[Steelman]

Berry's playing better than last week at least.

[zulater]

Vick didn't even get to throw the ball on that drive and people will still blame him for the 3 and out

The fact Vick can't read a defense to save our season probably isn't helping the o-line's cause any.

[86WARD]

At this stage...I'm in the Landry Jones camp too...lol.

[Mojouw]

FREE LANDRY JONES!!!

It'll never happen, but it makes me giggle.

[Drazo85]

Get this poor excuse of a quarterback out of this game...

[Rotorhead]

My god, not able to get one dam first down

[salamander]

Tomlin isn't smart enough to pull Vick.

[86WARD]

The fact Vick can't read a defense to save our season probably isn't helping the o-line's cause any.

THe O-Line should give him a couple seconds though...lol. He's bad enough with time...

[NCSteeler]

We are looking at possibly the greatest waste of a defensive/special teams performance

[fansince'76]

Fuck you, Mark Barron. Fuck you very much.

[Polamalu Princess]

Can we get Tebow?

[dislocatedday]

This coaching staff has to realize that the offense is sputtering big time with Vick at QB. The defense has done a tremendous job tonight to keep the Steelers in this game, and the offense outside of Bell has been a disaster. The Chargers know they can load up against the run because there is no chance of Vick making them pay.

[vindrow]

And i'm sure according to Tomlin, Vick is doing a fantastic job tonight.

[steelerdude15]

Tomlin isn't smart enough to pull Vick.

It would be more of a stubborn thing IMO.

[SteeleReign]

You know, if you'd have told me five weeks ago that I'd be more excited to watch our defense than the offense, I would have told you that you'd gone and lost your effing mind.

[EzraTank]

Wrong. Vick is terrible, but that wasn't his fault. That pass though shouldve been a pick 6.

He scrambled right into that sack. He's horrible.

[86WARD]

The only chance Vick has is to get the ball either short or mid range to AB and have Brown break it for a long one...that's it. Defense is going to give up points soon and then it's going to be too late.

[Steelman]

It would be more of a stubborn thing IMO.

Tomlin won't admit when he's wrong. So yeah, we're probably stuck with Vick no matter what.

[Steeldude]

Of course with this play-calling from Haley, I doubt any QB would be good.

It is not like Halely can call the same plays you would for a QB. He has a WR playing QB who can't handle plays that are more complex than "Head to the sprinkler and cut left".

[fansince'76]

Yep. Here is where SD puts it out of reach. Couldn't expect the D to hold all night when we're doing NOTHING on offense.

[EzraTank]

Here's comes the long TD drive by SD that makes the game unreachable for Vick.

[Rotorhead]

Here come the game, SD is moving the ball

[JayC]

that great tackler Blake

[Steelman]

Freaking Blake.

- - - Updated - - -

Yep...tomlin should be on the hot seat after this...he has stayed with his man crush vick too long

[86WARD]

He scrambled right into that sack. He's horrible.

No he didn't he stepped up and the sack came from DeCastro behind. He avoided the sack c/o Gilbert's blown block, stepped up past DeCastro and DeCastro couldn't hold his man because he was getting abused.

[dislocatedday]

When Shazier gets back this front 7 is going to be downright scary.

[steelerdude15]

Like I said, the defense was going to have to do it!

[fansince'76]

Needed that.

[JayC]

didnt need to tackle that time..nice! BLAKE

[Steelman]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[lipps83]

NICE PLAY BY BLAKE.

Too bad we are stuck with Vick now since we are ahead.

[zulater]

It is not like Halely can call the same plays you would for a QB. He has a WR playing QB who can't handle plays that are more complex than "Head to the sprinkler and cut left".

Yeah but he still can't get the ball to the sprinkler with any accuracy even if that play is called.

[SteeleReign]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mojouw]

Heroes on defense...BLake, JOnes, Thomas, what's next Boykin?

[86WARD]

Blake's bullshitting there almost lost the ball...nice play though...

[EzraTank]

Here's comes the long TD drive by SD that makes the game unreachable for Vick.

I was wrong! :D

WTF was Blake doing with that ball? Jesus hold that thing!

[JayC]

should probably take better care of the football there, idiot

[Mojouw]

Blake almost screwed that up hot-dogging downt he sideline

[Steeldude]

Blake has no idea how to use an angle to make a tackle. I mean he really does not know. I am not being sarcastic or exaggerating.

[stillers4me]

Quit your bitching.

[Steelman]

But dammit!! hold that damn ball better! Sheesh! Hahahaha

[Rotorhead]

That is what we needed, Blake with the pick six, made up for the missed tackle!

[86WARD]

Possibly the most nonchalant Pick 6 in NFL history?

- - - Updated - - -

THE BOZ!!!!

[SteelMayhem72]

Blake!!!! Please dont carry the ball like that again asshole fuckin showboating

[lipps83]

Wow. First time this season that the kicker hasn't missed a kick so far in the game.

[steelerdude15]

Quit your bitching.

No! :chuckle: :wink02:

[Steelman]

but he's a great tackler

No, I don't think anyone has ever said he was a good tackler. He's a hitter.

[86WARD]

Wow...Chargers lose another O-Lineman there...

[dislocatedday]

Great interception and return by Blake, but what the heck was he doing holding the ball like that and then lollygagging his way into the endzone? I was waiting for a SD player to just come up and knock the ball out of his hand.

[JayC]

Possibly the most nonchalant Pick 6 in NFL history?

- - - Updated - - -

THE BOZ!!!!

he basically jogged to the endzone with the ball in one hand. not smart but he scored so it's all good

[Steeldude]

Blake is an idiot. He was trotting and almost got caught from behind.

Now Tomlin will think he is a god and sign him to a huge contract.

[Mojouw]

I know the Chargers are starting a HS JV squad at o-line, but I love to see what pressure can do. Totally changes the Chargers whole plan.

To paraphrase Mike Tyson - Everyone has a plan until you punch 'em in the mouth.

Lebeau forget that too often. Butler looks like he has made it a mantra.

[steelerdude15]

That is an awesome commercial!

[stillers4me]

Chris Boswell has never missed a FG or extra point in a regular season game.

[SteelMayhem72]

Im tired of the showboating, hes lucky that wasnt knocked out of his hands

[86WARD]

Wow. First time this season that the kicker hasn't missed a kick so far in the game.

lol.

[Polamalu Princess]

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[zulater]

Bos!

[Rotorhead]

Lol he is the 3rd best CB on this team

[SteelMayhem72]

We do have a discipline problem that needs to be addressed play team ball

If LeBeau was still around, we'd probably be down 3 scores by now and Gates would be having a career night.

[Steelman]

Lol Mike Mitchell.

[86WARD]

WHatever Mitchell said there seemed to work. Nice work there.

- - - Updated - - -

Come on Timmons.

[Steelman]

Mitchell hurt.

Concussion?

[zulater]

We're out of safeties.

[Polamalu Princess]

Bring it D!!!

[SteelMayhem72]

Still gonna have to score on offense

[steelerdude15]

Shamarko cut his hair.

[86WARD]

Great...Mitchell injured now too...

Going to be the Green and Gates show coming up.

[Steelman]

Here we go with Shitbrains and Golden.

[SteelMayhem72]

Shamarko will get burned

[Rotorhead]

Time to see if shark is as bad as it seems

[86WARD]

Terrible.

[SteelMayhem72]

Cant expect our D to carry us all night...theres gonna be a leak...offense has to do something

[Steelman]

Not to undermine the good things the defense has done tonight so far, but the Chargers OL is playing pretty well for all their injuries and musical chairs...props to them. Wish our line could say the same.
