I'm at the point where I'm almost expecting a loss because of all the injuries.

[tube517]

This is a better Raider team than we are used to seeing. I hope Ben's knee is better than this past Sunday.

[86WARD]

It's at home. The team could rally around each other for this game. Tomlin teams play up to better competition. I'm less worried about this game than I was the KC or Cincy games.

[dduc996]

The Cincinnati "w" stands more for "WOW" they got lucky. I don't see that game as a Steelers lose - Cincinnati did NOTHING the whole game except the final 5 minutes.
An Oakland win and a Cleveland win at home into the buy week.....6-4 still strong.

[silver & black]

Well... it's too nice a day in Ohio to waste in front of a TV in a bar. I'll be playing golf with my brother during the game. I hope it's a good game and neither team has any injuries. You guys sure don't need anymore players out, and we have no depth at all...lol.

Talk to you later...... after we take you down in your own house... I hope!:wink02: :jolly:

[fansince'76]

If we lose this game I will probably officially concede that it just isn't our year and stop holding out hope of going on a run and making some noise in the postseason, personally.

[steelerdude15]

I saw an interesting note this morning. In the past ten years that the Steelers have lost to the Raiders (2006, 2009, 2012, and 2013), the Steelers did not make the playoffs. The one time the Steelers beat the Raiders in the past decade (2010), they went to the Super Bowl.

Guess we really need them to win today...lol.

[steelerdude15]

Guess we really need them to win today...lol.

I feel that this is a must win game today. Of course, every game should be treated that way...

[86WARD]

This game could have major playoff implications in more ways than one...most importantly the head to head tie-breaker. They have to win all the AFC games from here on out...

[steelerdude15]

Without a doubt. If the Steelers don't win today, that might be it for us.

[86WARD]

HERE WE GO!!! Jones to the 21...already more productive than Archer...lol.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Let's go Steelers!

[86WARD]

Come on Martavis...WTF was that?

[steelerdude15]

Marty should have caught that.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Great way to start the game.

[Mach1]

Sweeeed :chuckle:

[Devilsdancefloor]

well i see bryants starts off where he left off

[86WARD]

Woodson makes the tackle on Brown and is down...

[SteelerFanInStl]

Woodson injury will help us.

[steelreserve]

That was HILARIOUS that they have Jones wearing #13 already.

[steelerdude15]

Looks like Woodson might have hyper extended his shoulder at the least.

[Devilsdancefloor]

helllll yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

[86WARD]

Look at the BIG gain from D. WILL!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Nice play!

[steelerdude15]

Great job by the Steelers to get the first down. Great job by Ben to get the ball to his check down man.

[86WARD]

Woodson back in the game.

[steelerdude15]

It was a tough ball to catch, but Heath should have had that.

[Devilsdancefloor]

wow heath dropped one

[86WARD]

NIce 7 yard run by WIlliams.

[steelerdude15]

Nice run by Williams.

[86WARD]

Come on DHB...

Dropsies all over the place.

[Polamalu Princess]

Let's go!!!!:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[SteelerFanInStl]

3 dropped passes already

[Mach1]

Butter fingers

[Devilsdancefloor]

wow ok the drops are killing us already

[steelerdude15]

Three passes that were put right on the money and they were dropped. That is frustrating.

- - - Updated - - -

Should have gone for the field goal. Lets hope the Raiders don't build off of this.

[86WARD]

And another one right off Brown's hands. Three costly drops on that drive. Was good play calling too...

[SteelerFanInStl]

Make it 4, although that was tipped.

[steelreserve]

Wow ... Three dropped passes on one drive.

Make that four.

[Drazo85]

Those are catchable balls

[steelerdude15]

That's really frustrating. They were moving the ball well on that drive. I hope they can keep it up on the next drive and make some catches.

[zoneblitzerII]

Could be in for a long day if no one can catch the damn ball.

[86WARD]

That 3rd & 4 play, Ben missed a read on Williamd being wide open. would've gotten to at least the 10 yard line untouched...

[steelerdude15]

Ben looked sharp and so did the offensive line.

[SteelerFanInStl]

That 3rd & 4 play, Ben missed a read on Williamd being wide open. would've gotten to at least the 10 yard line untouched...
DeAngelo was a better option but DHB should've been a first down too.

[86WARD]

Make it 4, although that was tipped.

I didn't count that one on Miller. That wasn't an easy catch to make.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Come on Mitchell!

[steelerdude15]

That is not what we needed to happen.

[Devilsdancefloor]

welll damn that was ugly

[86WARD]

This may be another long day...Murray goes right between Tuitt and Heyward for a huge gain.

[Mach1]

Toast

[zoneblitzerII]

We're in trouble.

[Devilsdancefloor]

well so far ugly

[Drazo85]

Wow that was quick.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Fucking defense!

[steelreserve]

Well, that was quick. Nice job, defense.

[zoneblitzerII]

This may be another long day...Murray goes right between Tuitt and Heyward for a huge gain.

Reminds me of Eric Dickerson.

[steelerdude15]

This is what I was afraid of. The offense has to respond with a touchdown on this next drive.

[vindrow]

Can't stop them from running the ball, and our receivers can't catch the damn ball.

[SteeleReign]

Wow! What a great start!!

[SteelMayhem72]

I dont expect much from our team today...dont like our attitude or urgency

[SteelMayhem72]

Tomlin dont even try fgs anymore

[st33lersguy]

Apparently everyone other than Ben is using Bell's injury as an excuse to not put forth any effort. That was shameful and embarrassing. Why don't you kick a 52 yard field goal when it's 4th and 4 you have an accurate kicker and your wide receivers couldn't catch a cold in the antarctic

[zoneblitzerII]

I dont expect much from our team today...dont like our attitude or urgency

Came out with a finesse offensive scheme. Let's see how far that gets you.

[salamander]

Yepp, it's gonna be a long day.

[steelerdude15]

I hope Jones doesn't act like Archer.

[steelreserve]

That was an Archer-like return.

[st33lersguy]

You think there would be some urgency on this team given that it's a must win game, guess not

[Devilsdancefloor]

heeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttthhhhhhhh

[steelerdude15]

Came out with a finesse offensive scheme. Let's see how far that gets you.

A scheme that was working. It was the receivers not catching the balls.

[86WARD]

Miller wide open. The crowd started chanting Heath before Ben threw it...lol.

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice run

[86WARD]

Nice run by Williams after being stuffed the last run.

[steelerdude15]

Good run by Williams. The offense has to convert here and get the first down.

[steelreserve]

Man am I glad we got Williams.

[Mach1]

3 n out

[86WARD]

Another 3rd down and short and the Steelers try a 50 yard pass...lol.

[Devilsdancefloor]

ug damn

[lipps83]

Hey guys, let's try for some first downs before we start going right for the touchdown.

It's like, consistency be damned.

[who2host]

Third and 3 and you go deep like that and you're down? Come on!

[86WARD]

WOW...what a punt by Berry. Steelers Digest player of the week so far...

[SteeleReign]

Well, at least our punter came to play today!

[steelerdude15]

That was a great punt. HOPEFULLY, the defense can get a safety here.

[zoneblitzerII]

Oh my god. 3rd and 3 and you need to keep,possession and move the sticks and you go for a bomb???? Fuck these idiots.

[Devilsdancefloor]

now d gettem!

[SteelerFanInStl]

There's the stupid play again. Why throw long on 3rd and 3? So damn frustrating!

[vindrow]

Great play call on 3rd and 3...geez.

[NCSteeler]

can anyone PM a online feed?

[86WARD]

Good pressure, good coverage.

[steelerdude15]

I think that was a fumble.

[86WARD]

He wasn't down by contact...that was a clear fumble.

[vindrow]

The offense is looking like a pee-wee football team.

[Kittyfish]

It sounds like the crowd is doing its best to help the D out. Dropped pass, maybe it's working.

[steelerdude15]

Will is there again. Glad to see him back. He makes the secondary better.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Good job Allen.

[86WARD]

Jones in for punt return too...loses 3 on the return.

[vindrow]

Looks like the D is going to have to carry the team again.

[Devilsdancefloor]

well lets get points here

[SteelerFanInStl]

Jones doesn't seem to have any speed any more.

[SteeleReign]

Jacoby looks nervous.

[steelerdude15]

Alright, the offense is at there own 40 yard line. We have great field position. Take a advantage of it.

[86WARD]

Jesse James with a 9 yard pick up.

[Kittyfish]

Finally someone caught a pass

[steelreserve]

Did we really get rid of Archer? That return was in the ...

DANGER ZONE!!!

[Devilsdancefloor]

JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMESSSSSSS

[steelerdude15]

That should be his first career reception.

- - - Updated - - -

He got that first down.

[86WARD]

If that was a catch, that was crazy by Brown...WOW...

[SteelerFanInStl]

Nice catch AB!

[Devilsdancefloor]

good god nice catch

[steelerdude15]

His foot is on the line so it was incomplete. I hate how they were just sitting there, not hiking the ball.

[Kittyfish]

Let's get some points! AB doing a good job - AB has 5th most receiving yards over Louis Lipps

Heath

[Devilsdancefloor]

hhhhhhhhhhheaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaathhhhhhhhhh

[86WARD]

Brown again. Ben passes Unitas for 15th All-Time.

[SteeleReign]

Anybody else annoyed by Fouts? Drives me crazy!

[Kittyfish]

Now we're moving the ball. DeAngelo is doing well

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice

[86WARD]

EXCELLENT vision by Williams.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Nice run DeAngelo!

[SteeleReign]

Train is gaining steam now!

[steelerdude15]

Another great run by Williams. Kudos to the offensive line for opening up holes.

[86WARD]

Personnel confusion on offense and the Steelers need to burn a timeout...

[Mach1]

Anybody else annoyed by Fouts? Drives me crazy!
Still better than dierdorf

[steelerdude15]

Thank God it was only David's shoe.

[SteelMayhem72]

Need 7

[vindrow]

Looks like the offense finally woke up..good.

[Devilsdancefloor]

very cute haley

[SteeleReign]

Still better than dierdorf

No argument there.

[steelerdude15]

Come on offense, convert this third down. We need the first.

[86WARD]

Terrible play execution there. From 2nd and 1 to 3rd & 3...another third down.

[SteelMayhem72]

Here comes 3

[Kittyfish]

So I guess it's 3 instead of 7, Bad throw by Ben

[86WARD]

Timing between Ben and Wheaton looked like Vick was somehow involved...jeez...

[steelerdude15]

Come on.

[SteeleReign]

ugghh...Ben is a little off..

[SteelerFanInStl]

WTF? We keep stopping ourselves.

[vindrow]

Only 3 out of that.

[86WARD]

So I guess it's 3 instead of 7, Bad throw by Ben

Wouldn't pin that on Ben just yet...

[steelerdude15]

Hopefully the defense can step up again.

[lipps83]

It took us 4 kickers, but by golly I think they found a good one. Hasn't missed a field goal in his career.

[SteelMayhem72]

How come these fuckers are not on the same page...really?

[Kittyfish]

It looks like Suisham tackled himself right off the Steelers roster in that preseason game. Boswell has done an absolute standout job since he's come.

Wouldn't pin that on Ben just yet...

If you say so, I"m just going by what the radio guys say

[Drazo85]

ugghh...Ben is a little off..
Wheaton and Ben are not on the same page since Marcus joined Steelers.

[steelerdude15]

Leaving points on the field could come back and hunt us at the end of the game.

[86WARD]

Wonder why Tomlin won't let The Boz try one from long...

[steelerdude15]

Got hit by Sharmarko.

[86WARD]

Why would Shamarko take his helmet off after that hit. He's lucky a penalty didn't show up there...moron.

- - - Updated - - -

That's gotta be an incomplete pass...

[Kittyfish]

At least we're not the only ones dropping the ball, as it were...

[steelerdude15]

Incomplete pass. He didn't make a football move.

[Steelman]

It just me or does Tomlin look off? Just kind of standing there with his thumb up his butt.


Wheaton and Ben are not on the same page since Marcus joined Steelers.

Sadly you're right about this.

[steelerdude15]

Alright D, another third down. Stop them here.

[Devilsdancefloor]

come on D

[86WARD]

Nice play by Tuitt.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Good stop Tuitt

[steelerdude15]

Great job by Tuitt to break off his block and make the tackle.

[86WARD]

Jeez...Marcel Reece...lol.

[Kittyfish]

Come on, guys! Stop them!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Another big run. Come on D!

[steelerdude15]

He only had one foot inbounds.

[86WARD]

Nice grab by Crabtree...gotta get the feet in though.

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice play timmons

[Steelman]

Good job Timmons.

[86WARD]

Big play by Timmons. 3rd & 10 coming up for Oakland.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Good job Timmons

[Kittyfish]

Phew!

[86WARD]

Another nice grab by Crabtree but can't get the feet down. Nice coverage by Blake.

[steelerdude15]

Incomplete pass. Good job by the defense to stop them.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Good job D!

[Steelman]

God we have the worst ST blocking.

[86WARD]

Jones looks uncomfortable back there returning kicks and punts.

- - - Updated - - -


God we have the worst ST blocking.

No, no, no. We have Danny Smith...he gets the best out of his players. Great coach...lol. :jerkit: He's terrible.

[SteelMayhem72]

Jones looks uncomfortable back there returning kicks and punts.

I believe he will fumble one today...he looks shaky

[Steelman]

AB!

[Kittyfish]

Good run by AB - let's get 7!

[Devilsdancefloor]

AAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBB

[86WARD]

Nice pass by Ben to Brown for 59 yards!!

[touchdownward]

Antonio!!!!!

[SteelerFanInStl]

AB! Too bad that was under thrown.

[lipps83]

59 yard pass first play of this drive. Will finish with a field goal.

[Devilsdancefloor]

cute plays kill us stop it haley

[86WARD]

Pretty amazing that Hines Ward has over 12,000 yards receiving...lol.

[steelerdude15]

Bad play selection. The defender read that easily.

[Kittyfish]

Wow, that quarter went quick. I guess lack of penalties does that.

[steelreserve]

Sorry guys, Wheaton sucks.

[Steelman]

59 yard pass first play of this drive. Will finish with a field goal.

Yep. Seems to be the recipe.

Awful play call to Wheaton there.

[SteelMayhem72]

here comes another 3...stupid bubble screen with no blockers!!!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Bad play selection. The defender read that easily.
Haley does it all the time.

[steelreserve]

Sorry guys, Wheaton sucks.

I mean, bad play too, but Wheaton sucks.

[vindrow]

And Haley killing another drive.

[Kittyfish]

Good job! Now get those 7 points!

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice stiff arm

[SteelerFanInStl]

First down!

[Steelman]

Nice play by AB to get the first!

[steelerdude15]

GREAT stiff arm by Antonio to extend the play.

[touchdownward]

Brown playing his ass off. We might actually get in the end zone here.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Need a TD here!

[Kittyfish]

It looks like AB and Ben have regained that special magic, at least for a while...

[steelerdude15]

I had to move my car, what play did I miss that got the Steelers into scoring range?

[Steelman]

TOUCHDOWN DEANGELO!!!

[SteelerFanInStl]

TD!!!

[vindrow]

Touchdown DWill!!!!!!!

[steelerdude15]

Touchdown Williams!

[Devilsdancefloor]

tttttttttttttttttdddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

[86WARD]

Williams in for the TD!!!! Great vision again by WIlliams.

[Polamalu Princess]

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[touchdownward]

I had to move my car, what play did I miss that got the Steelers into scoring range?59 yard pass play to Brown.

[Steelman]

I had to move my car, what play did I miss that got the Steelers into scoring range?

50+ yard catch by AB that was underthrown by Ben otherwise would have been a sure TD

[Kittyfish]

Going for 2 - Good!

[86WARD]

Williams grabs the reception for 2!

11-7 Steelers!!!!

[JKLTO]

Williams is sincerely awesome! And I love the way he celebrates his touchdowns. Very humble.

[steelerdude15]

Great job by the offense to score.

[lipps83]

Dang, I should criticize the offense more, they just scored a TD.

[Rotorhead]

Nice, our off and def have shown up so far

[Polamalu Princess]

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2: YES!!!!

[vindrow]

2 pt. conversion DWill again.

[lipps83]

I think the offense plays better with Williams in there instead of Bell.

And yes, Bell is the better back, but I think they try to feed him the ball too much. Without Bell, the offense seems to be a more fluid machine.

[pepsyman1]

As much as Bell is a one of a kind player, Williams is more than capable of doing the job for us. Great offseason pick up. We have no excuses to not be a great offense the rest of the year

[steelerdude15]

50+ yard catch by AB that was underthrown by Ben otherwise would have been a sure TD

Thanks for letting me know.

[Rotorhead]

DW was by far our best off season pick up

[SteelerFanInStl]

The front 7 better start doing a better job against the run.

[steelreserve]

Mike Mitchell ... Celebrating after giving up a 9 yard run.

[SteelMayhem72]

need to stop the run!!!

[Rotorhead]

If def can hold we should be good here

[43Hitman]

The runs up the middle are worrisome, but I like the defense overall, minus that last catch.

[steelerdude15]

The defense is not doing good so far on this drive.

[Devilsdancefloor]

well come on D

[SteelerFanInStl]

That was pathetic D

[pepsyman1]

Gay with crap coverage and reaction

[steelerdude15]

That's incomplete.

[SteelMayhem72]

lets see the Offense does well today but the D wont

- - - Updated - - -

never can put it together

[Rotorhead]

Cmon D

[Kittyfish]

Woo-hoo! Amari Cooper not having a good day.

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice

[86WARD]

Good defensive stand by the Steelers!!

[Rotorhead]

Nice!

[steelerdude15]

Miscommunication there between Carr and Cooper.

[Steelman]

Got lucky on that stop.

We need to get some pressure on Carr.

[86WARD]

Nice punt and coverage by the Raiders.

[Rotorhead]

Good, need a TD drive here now

[steelerdude15]

Gotta have some smart play calling here to get us out of the deep end of the field.

[43Hitman]

Damn, field position sucks this time.

[Devilsdancefloor]

well jones looks lost lol lets go O at least flipp the field position

[86WARD]

Come on Ben...

[steelerdude15]

I really don't like those passes.

[Mach1]

Come on O

[SteelerFanInStl]

Stop the bubble screens

[Rotorhead]

Need a 1st

[pepsyman1]

God I still hate that friggin play

[Kittyfish]

Well, I didn't really expect that drive to go anywhere. Better luck next time. Let's go D!
