Mendy didn't have a touchdown on 9/11. Honestly, he didn't deserve one after his idiocy this past summer.

Anyone have anything else?

Ike looked good after missing most of preseason with an injury. Other than that, I got nothing.

Agreed. Ike played real well, except for his stupid personal foul. He earned his new contract, unlike the rest.

I Thought Ike and A brown came to play i just wish they had brought the rest of the team

I have none. The o-line is as bad as ever. I wish we would have kept Flozell. He at least did a respectable job last year.

Only silver lining is that it was week 1

That was the best the Ravens could play and it is all downhill for them the rest of the season. :nod:

I only take 2 positives out of this game. Wallace played well and looked more dynamic than only a deep threat and also Ike looked well and not much came his way.

Emmanual Sanders TD after foot surgery.

There's no pressure to go 16-0.

Nothing. It was about as bad a game for the Steelers it could possibly get. The only "positive" you can take from yesterday is that they can't possibly play any worse than they did the rest of the season. Just an awful, awful game for the ages. Like 51-0 in 1989 Home Opener bad.

I left the bar earlier than I normally would have. My liver is the better for it.

The one thing that could be called an upside is the reaction of our players and Tomlin. Not one excuse is being made by any one of them. No whining, crying, but, but, but.......just total ownership of the whole mess.

And John Harbaugh is still a dick.

The most positive of the game of yesterday is that we have not lost 41-7 at home against the Bills!

Unfortunately, when the CB across from you is BMac and he couldn't cover his nose if he sneezed, there isn't much reason to throw Ike's way.

I have never heard Tomlin make an excuse, and I think if he ever heard his player make an excuse and tell it to the media, he might cut the guy.

I have no idea what gets said behind closed doors....but at least in the public Tomlin doesn't do excuses. He doesn't describe to that hocus pocus.

The best thing about yesterday was that there was no overtime.

In the interest of player safety, the NFL will institute a mercy rule, whereby the coach is allowed to through in a white towel and end the game, thus reducing the risk of player injuries.

We are closer to drafting Andrew Luck than we were on Saturday.

Maybe this is just "wishful watching" on my part, but I actually thought Harrison started to get his grove back a bit in the second half. He still did not have a good game, but even outside of the big stop, he seemed more of a force as the game went along. Obviously, he still has a ways to go.

we didn't give Clark a fat contract this off season. Whiff, Whiff, run scared.....seemed to be the motto of the day

The earth did not crash into the sun.

That's about all I got.
