Steelers vs Clowns round 2 - Game Day Thread - January 2, 2011

[Butch]

Wow the final game of the regular season is finally here. We have an interesting game today to say the least and with the division still up for grabs I am hoping the offense can get going early in this one. Let's get a big win and then rest up next week for our playoff run!!!

From Deep in the Heart of Texas...where Steeler Country is alive and well!!! I'm fired up, and Can't wait for Game Time to get here!!! Go Steelers!!!

[HometownGal]

I'm so fired up for this game and I know our boyz will be too! :tt02: :tt03: Can't wait until 1:00 gets here!

GO STEELERS! :rockon:

[GoSlash27]

I've been waitin' all week for this. 3:49 minutes...

[BPS3akaWirels3]

Wow!! This season went fast.. Here we go Steelers!!

[Count Steeler]

Looking forward to some payback for last year's debacle in the mistake by the lake. Hope Arians' brain has thawed sufficiently from last year's mess. Let's hold, er, keep the clowns from getting any sacks and let's have a proficient day in the Red Zone. Defense, do your thing, stuff the run and stuff McCoy.

Onward and upward, boys, SB XLV, she's a calling. HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!:tt03::tt02::tt03::thumbsup::applaudit:

[Polamalu Princess]

[SteelerFanInStl]

I agree, this season has flown by. Time to TCOB and get the bye. I'm hoping for a game with no drama and no injuries. Just a nice, easy win. Go Steelers!!!

[Polamalu Princess]

I would love a 28 point lead at the half, lol

Me too! I would love a high scoring game.

[Texasteel]

Great stop by the D

[pepsyman1]

I'm liking what I'm seeing out of Coach D to start this game. I haven't seen them try to be this aggressive in a long time.

[HometownGal]

Let's take the crowd out NOW Ben & Co. by taking it to the EZ on this drive too! :pray:

[43Hitman]

Why would El wave off that one? Those short liners are the one's PR's dream of.

[Devilsdancefloor]

Lets go O put your foot on their throat get it into the EZ again

[Count Steeler]

Let's get some more momentum on O. Build the confidence and get ready for some smacking in the playoffs.

[HometownGal]

Me too! I would love a high scoring game.

I would, as well, but I'll just be happy with a W.

[steelpride12]

45 sacks most in the league, thanks to this amazing D and Papa Lebeau!

[Count Steeler]

I'm liking what I'm seeing out of Coach D to start this game. I haven't seen them try to be this aggressive in a long time.

Getting ready for the playoffs. Here we go Steelers.

[fansince'76]

Ravens up on Cincy 3-0.

[steelpride12]

Mendy time!

[43Hitman]

Let's take the crowd out NOW Ben & Co. by taking it to the EZ on this drive too! :pray:

I'll second that. :thumbsup:

[HometownGal]

OK - we'll take a little scamper by Mendy there.

[Polamalu Princess]

Let's go O!

[BigPoppaG]

Throw another bomb and run the score up.

[Count Steeler]

Sun must be in his eyes. Let's move those chains.

[steelerdude15]

Mendy was close to breaking one.

[43Hitman]

We almost broke that one. That's two running plays now that have been very close. Gonna be a good day it looks like.

[steelerdude15]

Catch #950 for Ward all I can say is WOW!

[steelerdude15]

Talk about not going down, keep up the good work Mendy.

[43Hitman]

I would like to see us pound this ball in with Mendy and Redman in the same backfield.

[Count Steeler]

We can get a first down and then practice our short yardage offense.

[Devilsdancefloor]

lets get 7 guys!

[43Hitman]

Take out spaeth add an extra lineman with Heat and Hines in tight and Wallace out wide. You can do a lot from that formation

[HometownGal]

Rats leading Bungles 3-0.

[steelerdude15]

First down!!! Great play Ben.

[steelpride12]

Awesome play call Ben, scramble for the first down WOO!

[43Hitman]

Was it just me or was this thread closed for a few minutes?

[steelpride12]

Cribbs is hurt, ouch that is a killer for the Clowns!

[HometownGal]

Cribbs is down. That would take a huge weapon off the Browns if he's injured again.

[SteelCityMan786]

TOUCHDOWN RASHARD MENDENHALL

SUISHAM'S KICK IS GOOD
Steelers 14, Browns 0

[Count Steeler]

That's better. We got closed out for a while. Steelers are looking playoff ready. Let's get this game settled and run out the clock.

[fansince'76]

What's going on Gary?

[SteelerFanInStl]

Was it just me or was this thread closed for a few minutes?

It wasn't just you. Someone closed the thread. Glad I can post again. :)

[Texasteel]

Cribbs is down. That would take a huge weapon off the Browns if he's injured again.

Almost the only weapon they have left.

[pepsyman1]

I gotta say...that was an impressive drive and some nice play calls out of BA. Good mix of run and pass and we got to see a majority of our strengths throughout the drive. Keep it up!

[steelpride12]

Hillis first carry of the game, let's shut him down!

[venom]

Lets go D

[HometownGal]

You aint going nowhere Hills. :applaudit:

[Devilsdancefloor]

[HometownGal]

[Texasteel]

This D looks to be very ready for this game.

[Devilsdancefloor]

[steelpride12]

Great tackle Timmons he sure can wrap a guy up!

[Dino 6 Rings]

Ok so my video feed is behind the thread posts so I'm out of here so i'm not reading about "the future"

Enjoy the game folks

[SteelerFanInStl]

Gotta stop those long 3rd down conversions. Let's go D!

[fansince'76]

We gotta tighten up the 3rd and longs.

[steelpride12]

Damn don't let McCoy run for the first come on!

[HometownGal]

Damn - that sucked. Can't let McCoy do that shit.

[Devilsdancefloor]

come on d!

[steelpride12]

Oh Come on D don't give up anything!

[Devilsdancefloor]

someone stop watson

[Count Steeler]

These commentators are idiots. Woodley and Timmons lost containment and they are talking about Polamalu.

[HometownGal]

Can't be missing that tackle Ryan. :doh:

[fansince'76]

C'mon D!

[HometownGal]

Nice play by Gay to get him down.

[steelpride12]

Move them back, false start!

[Count Steeler]

Let's go D. Make a play, especially on 3rd down.

[steelerdude15]

False Start! Move them back.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Tighten up D!!!!

[steelpride12]

Damnnnnnnit! I knew that play would go for big yards after the missed sack!

[Count Steeler]

What an ugly play. Timmons, you can't miss that tackle.

[HometownGal]

How the hell did that happen????? :doh: Timmons almost had him.

[venom]

Aw c"mon

[SteelerFanInStl]

WTF? Talk about luck. :(

[Devilsdancefloor]

timmons come on!! unreal catch

[pepsyman1]

how lucky can a team get on a single play? lol

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on D!

[steelerdude15]

Come on Lawrence, you've got to make that sack.

[BigPoppaG]

Come on D!!!!

[fansince'76]

Christ - don't let them back into this!

[SteelerFanInStl]

A number of missed tackles on this drive. Time to stop 'em!

[steelpride12]

Good coverage D, 3rd down coming up!

[HometownGal]

Chased him right outta there! :applaudit:

HOLD EM HERE D. :pray:

[Count Steeler]

Good coverage. Now stop them on 3rd.

[Devilsdancefloor]

ziggy came to play today!

[HometownGal]

SHIT SHIT SHIT. :doh:

[Polamalu Princess]

YUCK!

[steelpride12]

Another broken tackle and he is down at the 4 dammit D!

[Randy06]

Cmon guys we are better than that.

[venom]

That sucks

[steelerdude15]

Start making tackles!

[Devilsdancefloor]

dang it we are gonna let'em score come on D

[SteelerFanInStl]

WTF is with the defense on this drive?

[Count Steeler]

Kudos to the slant route. Harrison almost had it.

[pepsyman1]

Man...I don't believe it. 3rd and 10, deep in their own territory and they didn't bring ANY pass rush.

[HometownGal]

These missed tackles are starting to piss me off.

[43Hitman]

Too many guys are going for the knock-out hit, when they should make the damn tackle. UGH!

[Polamalu Princess]

Hold them and keep them to 3.

[steelpride12]

Alright 2nd and goal, tighten up D!

[Count Steeler]

TO time.

[HometownGal]

101 yards passing by an Opie-looking QB aint cool. :doh:

[SteelerFanInStl]

100 yards passing for McCoy in the first quarter. That's just bad defense.

[steelpride12]

Shit he looks like Marino out there!

[Count Steeler]

Interesting first quarter. O is making some big plays. D is trying to bring some good heat, but they are not executing. Some missed tackles and assignments. Let's work out the bugs and get strong. Make a goal line stand right here. Then Ben to Mike for 99 yards.
