PLAYOFFS!! Game Day Thread - Ravens vs Steelers Round 3 - January 15, 2011

[ALLD]

Throw the ball to Mike Wallace in less than 10 seconds.

[Iron Steeler]

Omg com on. Patriots wouldn't let this crap happen

[steelpride12]

Remember no more challenges shoot!

[HometownGal]

What sucks is that we are now out of challenges. :doh:

C'mon O - I BELIEVE!

[Devilsdancefloor]

im so agrevated right now

[steelpride12]

Oh well Ben has 2 rings to show he can and will win!

[salamander]

Omg com on. Patriots wouldn't let this crap happen

Really? :doh2:

[Count Steeler]

HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! :tt03: :tt03: :tt03:

[43Hitman]

What sucks is that we are now out of challenges. :doh:

C'mon O - I BELIEVE!

I do too, but man they need to tighten up and do it quick.

[steelreserve]

Omg com on. Patriots wouldn't let this crap happen

Patriots would've been up 21-0 on three pass interference penalties, plus the play before the fumble would've been a penalty and Suggs would've been thrown out of the game, plus the fumble play would've been a penalty for touching the ball.

[Randy06]

Omg com on. Patriots wouldn't let this crap happen


Wow seriously wtf.

[Count Steeler]

The 2nd quarter is our quarter. 21 points, let's go.

[86WARD]

You really gotta be kidding me.

Not at all...

lol...like I said...Ravens D dominates the O-Line...loss of 4 on the sack. Third and long.

[steelreserve]

Meanwhile, during the commercial break, the ref is getting a handjob from a dude.

All while Goodell's fellating Kraft in Kraft's suite.

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Come on OL!

[Devilsdancefloor]

omg come on guys!

[Randy06]

We have no protection right now.

[salamander]

Damn it...

[steelreserve]

All while Goodell's fellating Kraft in Kraft's suite.

He's probably doing that right now. Who cares if the game's not till tomorrow

[salamander]

Come on guys.....

[kmsteelerwr15]

dammit, gotta make that throw

[ALLD]

bb is rattled.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Come on Ben! He was open.

[HometownGal]

Wallace was open and was overthrown. :doh: Like I mentioned earlier, it is VERY windy here and that may have taken that ball.

[Randy06]

He isnt rattled he just missed the throw it happens.

[Count Steeler]

Let's go D. Gotta get the MO back.

[kmsteelerwr15]

Nice tackle Madison!

Let's Go D! It's turnover time!

[salamander]

Alright, Let's Go D. STOP THEM!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Good job Madison. Come on D! Gotta stop 'em here! Let's get the ball back!

[Polamalu Princess]

Now this would be a great time for a TO.

[steelreserve]

What, there was a whole possession AND a punt with no flags? I am shocked -- SHOCKED

[Craic]

Steelers 7

Officials 14

Oh geez.

And the ravens would tell you the first Offensive PI and the defensive PI against the Ravens gave us the TD, so they would say Ravens 14, refs 7. Do you really want to go there.

[Devilsdancefloor]

Lets go D get us a TO here

[HometownGal]

My nose is itchy - I smell a pick coming up in this Rats drive. :pray:

[steelreserve]

Oh geez.

And the ravens would tell you the first Offensive PI and the defensive PI against the Ravens gave us the TD, so they would say Ravens 14, refs 7. Do you really want to go there.

That's what I was thinking .. no use complaining, but I just can't stand watching a football game where they stop it every 2 plays over nothing, then miss a ton of other crap that's going on. Painful to watch.

[fansince'76]

Let's get a TO here.

[Count Steeler]

Polamalu been quiet so far. Big play coming.

[Boomerang]

Cmon Steelers do your thing

[steelreserve]

Hampton is a large man.

[kmsteelerwr15]

There you go Big Snack

[HometownGal]

NO SIRRRRREEEEE!!! :applaudit: Snacker got him.

[salamander]

Nice tackle by Big Snack!

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice tackle snack!

[Texasteel]

Nice play

[fansince'76]

You know they're gonna go after Gay here.

[Polamalu Princess]

Keep your mojo Steelers!

[Devilsdancefloor]

they are gonna pick on gay now

[Edman]

I knew something was up about this game. The Ravens have the look of a hungry team.

[Craic]

Come on D. let's clamp down

[The WH]

out of challenges for the game? WHY!? i missed the explanation.

[HometownGal]

I'd love to see Clark plow that bitch.

[Randy06]

I hate how people are already blaming refs we missed tackles on Rice, and we didnt play to the whistle. The only thing I dont agree with is the hit on Roethlisberger.

[KATK9]

You have to cover him way better than that.

[kmsteelerwr15]

Great play Clark

[Polamalu Princess]

Nice stop.

[salamander]

NICE! Ryan Clark!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Good job Clark!

[Count Steeler]

Better coverage there. D is coming.

[Craic]

Nice job CLark.

Dang, he looked like Troy P.

[The Duke]

great play clark!

[steelreserve]

out of challenges for the game? WHY!? i missed the explanation.

Because we had to use one on a blown call at the start of the game, then another one because we had our heads up our asses.

[Devilsdancefloor]

nice tackle

[Randy06]

I knew something was up about this game. The Ravens have the look of a hungry team.


And you always have something negative to say.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Ziggy!

[steelpride12]

I hope BMac comes back soon ugh!

[Polamalu Princess]

Keep pounding them D!

[Craic]

NICE Job ziggy!!!!

[kmsteelerwr15]

Nice Ziggy!

3rd down!! Gotta stop them

[fansince'76]

I hate how people are already blaming refs we missed tackles on Rice, and we didnt play to the whistle. The only thing I dont agree with is the hit on Roethlisberger.

The call on Hines ONLY was bullshit too - there should've been an offsetting penalty on the Ravens on that one.

[Count Steeler]

Step up here on 3rd down.

[HometownGal]

NOPE!!! WTG Ziggy!

[salamander]

Zigggyyyy

[Texasteel]

big 3rd down, got to hold

[steelpride12]

Yes and the screen snubbed out, punt Rats!

[salamander]

Nice stop D!

[kmsteelerwr15]

Way to run it down Silverback! and great job D!!!

[Count Steeler]

Okay, O. Let's get the MOJO going again.

[Craic]

Now THAT is how you defend a screen!!!


Great job D. Way to stop the momentum.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Good job James!! Way to shut 'em down D!

[The Duke]

Can flacco do ANYTHING other than screens??

anyway, great D!

[Polamalu Princess]

Okay. Let's get the offense back on the field and score.

[Devilsdancefloor]

lets go brown

[steelpride12]

More flags on us, this is sick already fuck!!!

[HometownGal]

Flag . . . again.

[Craic]

Our special teams REALLY need to learn how to block

[kmsteelerwr15]

why do punters always have a career day against us?

[SteelerFanInStl]

Can't we do anything on ST without a damn penalty? Dammit!

[Count Steeler]

Probably should let they go to the end zone.

[salamander]

Pretty sure I saw a block in the back on that.

[steelreserve]

Is it in the rulebook that we can't start a drive outside our own 10?

[fansince'76]

Why does every punter we face look like Ray Guy? :doh:

[smokin3000gt]

fuckin' penalties are killing me!!

[salamander]

Pretty sure I saw a block in the back on that.

Yep.

[ALLD]

Way to make sure we start in the hole again.

[kmsteelerwr15]

Let's Go O!!!!! Tie this game up

[SteelerFanInStl]

Stupid penalty. Right in front of the official and not even needed.

[Devilsdancefloor]

here we go starting deep in our territory! ugh we have to get momentum back come on get some points here O

[43Hitman]

Killing ourselves at the moment. Hopefully Tomlin and Rotty can get these guys settled down and start playing some STEELER FOOTBALL DAMNIT!

[Polamalu Princess]

I am so sick of the flags.

[steelpride12]

Why does every punter we face look like Ray Guy? :doh:
I say it every game it always happens, never understand, but starting inside our 10 every drive won't cut it!

[Texasteel]

To many mistakes. wake up guys.

[salamander]

Gotta score here. Let's go O!

[Craic]

Is it in the rulebook that we can't start a drive outside our own 10?

Rule 102.22.1 (Drama)
Due to Big Ben being a drama queen, all drives must start within the Steelers 10 yard line in order to create a more dramatic win.




:sarcasm:

[Count Steeler]

Let's go Ben. Solid drive.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Time for a long TD drive here. Let's go offense!

[steelpride12]

Just don't like a run call play on first down in your endzone.

[salamander]

Blahhh.

[HometownGal]

We're only down by 1 score here. Nice long, patient drive.

[Craic]

Everyone knows we are rushing here--- so why not throw it on first down?

[SteelerFanInStl]

Need to get the ball to Hines and Heath.

[salamander]

Grrr... come onnn.

[steelpride12]

2 fucking runs, guess we wanna punt from the endzone!

[kmsteelerwr15]

Convert this

[Craic]

Everyone knows we are rushing here--- so why not throw it on first down?

or on second time.

[Polamalu Princess]

Get out of the end zone.

[Devilsdancefloor]

come on o move the chanins

[SteelerFanInStl]

bleh!

[steelpride12]

Rats were offside, 5 free yards!

[kmsteelerwr15]

offsides

[salamander]

OFFSIDES!

[Craic]

BEAUTIFUL catch Sanders. I don't care if it was OB.

[SteelerFanInStl]

offsides

[HometownGal]

Assholes offside. I'll take it.

[Count Steeler]

Let's get at least a few 1st downs.

[The Duke]

not a catch, but damn, great concentration rookie!

[salamander]

Oh snap!

[fansince'76]

Yes! First down!

[Polamalu Princess]

Whew!

[SteelerFanInStl]

first down!

[steelpride12]

Oh illegal contact gives us the first!

[kmsteelerwr15]

Hell yeah! illegal contact and a 1st down

[Texasteel]

New set of down. Make them pay.

[steelpride12]

Oh we are lucky!

[salamander]

Phew... that was too close....

[kmsteelerwr15]

whew...

[Craic]

Come on Ben. You gotta get that ball up a bit higher.

[HometownGal]

Oh dear God. :doh: That was SCARY. :horror:

[Count Steeler]

Cmon Ben. Let's do this.

[fansince'76]

Gotta get it up, Ben. :doh:

[The Duke]

heart stopped for a second there....

[Polamalu Princess]

We need to get our crap together.

[kmsteelerwr15]

he was down

[Devilsdancefloor]

fuck i need a break

[fansince'76]

Ugh - that HURTS.

[SteelerFanInStl]

That better not be a damn fumble! FUCK!!!!

[salamander]

FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK

[Polamalu Princess]

@#)^@()*^%(@#*()@*()#E**@

[The Duke]

dammit mendenhall!!

[Count Steeler]

No challenge. Let's go D.

[steelpride12]

hahahaha like I said, bad feeling.

[kmsteelerwr15]

dammit

[HometownGal]

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF are you doing Redman? Hold onto the damned ball.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Yep, he fumbled. We're giving the damn game away. :(

[Craic]

WE.....


ARE.....


KILLING....


OURSELVES.....

[Devilsdancefloor]

well well well

[Count Steeler]

Hold them to 3.

[steelpride12]

Gotta hold them to 3 D!

[JayC]

well shit, just give em the game why dont we

[kmsteelerwr15]

gotta bail the O out D

[steelreserve]

I guess they don't have to have any offense except screens if we keep handing them free scores like this.

[Polamalu Princess]

I feel like this game has been going on for hours already.

[Craic]

Ok.

It's time to simply turn the dogs lose.

[SteelerFanInStl]

We gotta hold 'em to a FG here. We're killing ourselves.

[ALLD]

Steeler's O is the weak link.

[Count Steeler]

Turnover to turnaround

[Texasteel]

Need to hold them to 3.

[steelpride12]

Steelers-2 turnovers Rats-0, Bad bad bad stat!

[kmsteelerwr15]

3rd down! Nothing stupid and stop them

[SteelerFanInStl]

Nice play Clark! Stop 'em on 3rd. Let's go guys!

[Steeldude]

the steelers look ill-prepared. standing around and more interested in learning what dance steps they will use after making a routine play.

mendenhall still hasn't learned how to hold onto a ball.

arians is back to al davis' ball.

the 3-8 defense is back and bland as ever.

[steelpride12]

FUCKKKKK If they get 7 here were in trouble!

[HometownGal]

Dammit - we had him and Troy missed him. :doh: :mad:

[Randy06]

all FUCKING day to throw.

[salamander]

OH MY FUCKING GOD.

[The Duke]

of course it goes to Rice

swarm him dammit!

[kmsteelerwr15]

damn

[SteelerFanInStl]

What the fuck!!!! Why did we only rush 3? He had all day to throw it.

[Count Steeler]

Pola, make up for that

[steelpride12]

Oh man Troy, 2 missed tackles is unheard of.

[Count Steeler]

Stuff them here.

[HometownGal]

Hold 'em to 3 here. :pray: :pray:

[The Duke]

come on, stop them here!

[kmsteelerwr15]

Let's Go D!!!

[salamander]

What's wrong with Troy? That's 2 missed tackles now.

[steelpride12]

3rd down coming again, hold them here D!!

[chenzzo]

what is wrong with Troy?

[SteelerFanInStl]

Sure looked like Big Snack got cut from behind on that play.

[Iron Steeler]

That's 2 half ass tackles by Troy in the redzone

[Polamalu Princess]

I am sick.

[Craic]

We better turn it on at this point.

[steelreserve]

21 points is not bad for a team that probably has like 4 yards of total offense

[kmsteelerwr15]

son of a...

[steelpride12]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW 21 to 7 that's not an easy lead to take over against these D's. FUCK!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Wide open. This is just pathetic.

[Randy06]

I dunno what to say.

[Count Steeler]

Damn. Let's go guys. Long way to go. Turn this around.

[HometownGal]

UGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. Heap was wide open in that EZ. WTF is wrong with our D today???? :doh: :mad:

[The Duke]

SHIT!

Not good. Not good....

[fansince'76]

Sure looked like Big Snack got cut from behind on that play.

I was gonna say....

[chenzzo]

this is getting ugly. Really flukey so far too.

[Craic]

Sure looked like Big Snack got cut from behind on that play.

I'd even take "looked like" out of that sentence.

[SteelerFanInStl]

Nice pick play. :(

[salamander]

I know it's early and I rarely am negative, but damn... that one definitely hurt. We HAVE TO score on this next drive and stop shooting ourselves in the DAMN FOOT.

[Devilsdancefloor]

well big ass hole we have dug for ourselves we have to score a td here take back so momentum this is BS come on guys get your head in the game

[Count Steeler]

Hopefully, we have finished making our mistakes. Maybe too long of a layoff. Let's get at least one back before the half.

[Craic]

Okay.

Drive for a TD here.

Then we get the ball at the beginning of the second half.

Nothing to worry about. Just settle down and play the game.

[steelpride12]

Alright everyone on here quit crying about the penalties, we all knew this squad would ass fuck the Steelers all game and they have proved it so far and will all game, nothing fucking new!

[kmsteelerwr15]

Sure looked like Big Snack got cut from behind on that play.

Glad I wasn't the only one who saw that

[fansince'76]

Our offense needs to wake back up.

[Steeldude]

i thought everyone was telling me that the steelers wouldn't use the 3-8 defense and the bland blitzes. they also said arians won't go back to al davis football.

[steelpride12]

Well umm we need to score before the half!

[JayC]

21 unanswered..this is just sad. my confidence is low at this point, and thinking of turning the tv off if we dont score here

[SteelerFanInStl]

Two gift TDs. The good news is that there's a LOT of time left and we get the ball at the start of the second half. We've gotta open up the offense a bit though and we've GOT to bring more pressure on D.

Let's go Steelers!!!! :tt03:

[Steeldude]

this is not shocking at all. if you have watched the steelers for the last few years then you should not be surprised

[Polamalu Princess]

We have to turn this around.

[kmsteelerwr15]

Get us a TD before the half

[steelpride12]

Alright offense if your not awake now you will never be!

[steelerrob]

This is turning to sh*t......enough of the stupid penalties & turnovers!

[Polamalu Princess]

Two gift TDs. The good news is that there's a LOT of time left and we get the ball at the start of the second half. We've gotta open up the offense a bit though and we've GOT to bring more pressure on D.

Let's go Steelers!!!! :tt03:

You are so right there is a lot of time left.

[Count Steeler]

Shake off whatever is wrong and let's go win this game. Refs be damned. Ravens be damned.

[86WARD]

You really gotta be kidding me.

??

[HometownGal]

Hopefully, we have finished making our mistakes. Maybe too long of a layoff. Let's get at least one back before the half.

You may have hit the nail on the head here. Sometimes having all that time off can hurt more than help.

We have an entire 2nd half to play and I'm going to believe that they will turn it around. I NEVER - EVER - give up on my teams.

[Craic]

i thought everyone was telling me that the steelers wouldn't use the 3-8 defense and the bland blitzes. they also said arians won't go back to al davis football.

Really? Have you not seen the screens specifically BECAUSE of the blitzes? I don't know WHAT you want from Arians. When we weren't back in the 10 yard line, he called a number of good plays.

Or wait a second, I guess Arians is responsible for Ben's and Mendy's fumble.

[steeldevil]

These refs are killing us. But so is our offense, defense, and special teams. Its the perfect storm.

[fansince'76]

OK, let's go to work here.

[Devilsdancefloor]

some talk to coach dad again that dropping 8 isnt working

[Texasteel]

21 unanswered..this is just sad. my confidence is low at this point, and thinking of turning the tv off if we dont score here

Concured, but not worried, there is still a lot of game left

[Steeldude]

this is not surprising. taylor still acts like an ass. kemo is dumb as hell. the steelers put most of their physical and mental energy into dancing after routine plays than actually playing

[salamander]

:frusty:

[steelpride12]

Suggs fuck!

[SteelerFanInStl]

Come ON!!!

[Devilsdancefloor]

ok this is sad

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on!

[fansince'76]

Shit. Sack. :doh:

[Craic]

Ok.

Drafts picks 1-8 on the o line.

[Texasteel]

We do need to stop that though.

[steel9guy]

2002 AFC Wildcard game against the browns. all i'm gonna say.

[smokin3000gt]

I'm so frustrated right now..

[Polamalu Princess]

Heath!

[kmsteelerwr15]

HHEEAATTHH!!!!

Convert this 3rd

[SteelerFanInStl]

Finally got the ball to Heath. Keep that going!

[Craic]

time for some short slants.

[salamander]

WOWWWW.

[SteelerFanInStl]

What the fuck Ben? Dammit!

[steelpride12]

still playing dumb!

[Devilsdancefloor]

wtf come on

[86WARD]

IMPLODING.
