Game Day Thread - Steelers vs. Ravens Part II

[BurghThing]

Remember kids, it's only a facemask if the Steelers do it

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Clear facemask. Refs have missed more obvious facemask calls than ever this season.

maybe, but i don't want them checking replay for them. Enough stoppages already and it would only result in them calling a bunch of slight tugs. They got rid of the 5 yard incidental facemask for a reason. I don't want teams getting 15 yards for momentary tugs.

 

[stillwright]

That was more of a facemask that Minkah was called for

Weird how that works.

The difference in this half is the fumbles went Baltimore's way. Both teams are playing pretty well and it's anyone's game at this point.

 

[Aussie_Steeler]

We must be the worst team in the league on 3rd and long as well…

I don't know about third and long, but the Steelers D are 7th best on all third down conversions.

 

[bermudasteel]

Boz stopped a little bit of the bleeding.

The Steelers get the ball after halftime.

 

[ZonaBurgh]

The one turnover is the difference so far.
Return the favor in the 2nd.

DK Daily Shot had that exact same thing on earlier this week.

Well that was a fun first half. That fumble was a killer. Defense is still leaving guys wide open. I swear I hate 3rd&long.. it may as well be 3rd& a foot.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Steelers are missing their top WR, a key run stuffer, 75% of their staring secondary and have a gimpy TJ. All that and they're only down 7 and have a real shot to win this.

Bottom line is a loss is not a huge deal. They're not getting a bye and unlikely to get higher than the 3 seed. Being healthy for the playoffs is more important than wins now

Our D can make a few adjustments. I personally wouldn't be against any.

It doesn't seem like it at all.

We could have had two (2) apples - missed them both...

Again, when it counts, I'm going w/ Russ when the pressure is on. LameR will choke...

 

[Buster]

This game is a big deal. They need a home playoff game and I doubt they get it without a win today.

Then why are we playing our starters? We lose here. We could easily lose out. Meh....I ball out here and do everything to win this game. Get us a home game Tomlin.

I was a little surprised as well, but my ears heard it.!

IF TJ isn’t 100 percent they should sub in Herbig.

The team has depth at the position use it.

 

[BLITZ]

Not listening to sound have they said anything about porters availability?

Amen.

Just saw that Dell injury. That just sucks for him.

Dude has made some nice throws so far. Russ has also though. Hopefully at crunch time you will be correct.

I thought I saw him back on the field...

I got a bunch of **** from the TFC in one of the FB groups for saying that they got their 9 wins and a playoff spot, won the SB (Steelers Bowl) so anything else is gravy.
Never a losing season, greatest coach everrrrr.....

 

[Drink IRON City]

**** the nfl for this Saturday and **** the nfl twice for the ****-ing Wednesday game as well…………

Just **** the NFL in general.

Yes, all cuss-words are the same

They need to scheme Watt into situations where they know he will win.....or has a large probability that he will. Us rushing 4 straight ahead isn't helping him at all. And that seems to be our Defense most of the time.
