Steelers vs. Falcons - Home Opener Game Day Thread - September 12, 2010

[Psycho Ward 86]

Wooooo!! Good penalty call

[kmsteelerwr15]

Couldn't run the 1st 4 qtrs, why would that change now?

[Polamalu Princess]

Stop them!

[steelpride12]

First down Falcons just leave White uncovered, it's the same thing.

[HometownGal]

40 yd FG should be gimmies for a Kicker.

Looked like the wind here took that ball or he hooked it - couldn't tell. :noidea:

Thank God he doesn't miss many, but this game should be over - no doubt about it.

[kmsteelerwr15]

Nice tackle BMac

[steelpride12]

Someone cover white?

[steelpride12]

HUGE 3RD DOWN HERE! STOP THEM D!

[kmsteelerwr15]

Great pressure Woodley. Now hold 'em here

[Edman]

The Law of averages are on our side. Three overtimes in a row against Atlanta.

One ended in a tie.
The other ended in a Falcons win.

So that might mean the Steelers should take this one. Just saying.

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on Steelers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HometownGal]

Bring that ball back!!!!

[steelpride12]

thank god for that holding saved our ass!

[SteelerFanInStl]

[smokin3000gt]

Man am I glad we only have 3 games to go!

[ALLD]

That looked like FWP running off Faneca in the Super Bowl!

[steelpride12]

Seriously awesome blocking on that run, and Mendy has some speed! 1-0 without Ben great freaking start!

[Devilsdancefloor]

that was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nadroj 20]

How awesome was that??? Great play Mendy and all, 1-0 baby

[ALLD]

Exactly. That's what opened up the hole.

[The Duke]

somebody give that fucker a hug!

a hug? I think he deserves something better than that, lol

ben could tell him :chuckle:

[SteelerFanInStl]

We needed that game. 1-0 without Ben.

[43Hitman]

I think I won the pick the score contest. I was the closest with neither team going over the picked score.

[Psycho Ward 86]

Law of averages....

...what?

[Texasteel]

I can't believe I missed this game. I hope someone airs a replay of it.

[Devilsdancefloor]

so far agood day colts, bungles & stains all lose and we win!

[ALLD]

Fisher is already looking to stomp on the Steelers.

[Psycho Ward 86]

a hug? I think he deserves something better than that, lol

ben could tell him :chuckle:

ROFL


I think I won the pick the score contest. I was the closest with neither team going over the picked score.

Congratz, what did you guess?

[tube517]

should be a candidate for NFLN Replay


I can't believe I missed this game. I hope someone airs a replay of it.

[steelerdude15]

Great way to end the game. That's the way to start the season. Amazing blocking on that final play and excellent running by Mendy. And now... to go for a bike ride to relax and get ready for more football.

[ALLD]

I cursed the Colts.

[steelpride12]

Awesome win Ward over 100 yards, Mendy with 120, with a 5.5 YPC! 1-0 baby that's all that matters!

[oneforthetoe]

Did you guys see that suddenness and glide?

[SteelCityMan786]

I know it's late

TOUCHDOWN RASHARD MENDENHALL

Steelers 15, Falcons 9

[Butch]

Wow what a game!!!

I didn't get a real feel for it until the 4th quarter and then I just knew. Didn't know it would be a run but wow only one T.D. and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Mendy gets game ball but Hines and Troy were Huge again. Dan had a helluva punt when we needed it, and even skippy had a long field goal even though he missed the one that could have won it earlier and he also kicked one deep into the endzone.

One down.

[fansince'76]

And to all the media "experts" who predicted Atlanta to win this game -

SUCK IT! :flipoff:

[Galax Steeler]

And to all the media "experts" who predicted Atlanta to win this game -

SUCK IT! :flipoff:

Agreed they can blow it out there ass.

[venom]

Shannon Sharpe picked the Steelers as his upset special . Dont know if thats good or bad , lol .

[43Hitman]

And to all the media "experts" who predicted Atlanta to win this game -

SUCK IT! :flipoff:

Agreed. I think only Jamie Dukes and Warren Sapp from the NFLN picked the Steelers to win today.

[86WARD]

Bradshaw was the only guy on Fox to pick the Steelers!

What a crease for Mendenhall to finish the game...Johnson, Miller and Ward deserve a game ball along with Mendenhall on that play.

Thought Dixon played alright. He made some poor decisions and I think he was limited a little bit by Arians but overall, I'd give him a C on the day. He could've had a few more interceptions and could've made some better throws...

I was impressed with Ward's play...dude's not getting any older...lol.
