GAME THREAD - Ravens/Steelers

[Sephy]

Here it is. Not much to say.

GO RAVENS :taz:

[StingerNLG]

Guys, there are a LOT of Steeler fans here today. I'm not joking. Some of them are even tailgating in our outer lots by the Harbor.

Whoever sold these bastards their tickets should lose their PSLs!!!!

We gotta kick this ass today guys. This is not the place to let these bitches clench the division!

I'll be in and out on my Blackberry.

Go RAVENS!!!!!!!

[OwingsMillsAlex]

Time to take it to the house and show them who is the best Defense in the AFC North. And time to take Hines Ward to the ground!

[Lee Van Cleef]

No Ray Rice or Parmele. McGahee better pull his finger out for this one.

[darb72]

Ok, I'm ready to start watching this game now. They're showing the end of the Titans/Texans.

[StingerNLG]

The stadium absolutely ROCKED on defensive intro!! Deafining.

Its fucking ON.

[Sephy]

Ravens will receive.

Yamon almost to the 40!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Holy hell, who was that? Certainly didn't run like Figurs.

[Sephy]

1st, McClain for 1-2.
2nd and 8.5, McGahee runs right into the line and falls over. Useless. Should have activated Parmele.
3rd and 9, screen dropped by McGahee. Fuck off, Willis.

[Lee Van Cleef]

And that's why we're going to miss Rice. Ugly stuff from McGahee already.

[Sephy]

Hell of a punt down inside the 10.

[RavensInBrazil]

Koch with another brilliant punt

Houston winning bodes well for us, though, the Titans will be motivated to beat Pittsburgh next week at the risk of losing the top seed in the conference

[Sephy]

1st, Ben has WAY too much time, ends up running for 9.
2nd and 1, delay of game.
2nd and 6, Parker for 4-5.
3rd and 1, thrown behind Ward but caught for 8.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Need to cut out this short stuff.

[Sephy]

1st, screen to Ward, JJ held, Ward gets 4.
2nd and 6, Washington drops the out.
3rd and 6, false start.
Crowd is SO freaking loud.
3rd and 11, Ben dumps to Miller who Ivy wraps up. Punt time.

[Lee Van Cleef]

They're sticking a lot of people back there to protect Jen.

[Sephy]

Ed Reed almost gets the block and the poor punt results to about the 42. nicee!!

[darb72]

Crowd is already a factor on Pissburghs first drive.

Keep 'em pumped Sting.

[Sephy]

1st, give to LeRon for 4 or so.
2nd and 6, Chester false starts. Ugh.
2nd and 11, give to LeRon on a nice play with the imbalanced line, gets 7.
3rd and 4, Flacco and Clayton run the option, Flacco keeps for 6 and a first!

[Sephy]

Farrior dinged up by his own guy.

[darb72]

That's twice today I've seen the option run for a first down. Detroit ran it on their drive to tie the game in the fourth quarter.

It's a decent gimmick in the NFL but you can't run it very often.

[heartattackjones]

Farrior dinged up by his own guy.
I never want players to get hurt, but I wouldnt mind him outta the game :)

[Sephy]

1st, McClain straight up the middle for 2-3.
2nd and 8, LeRon stopped up at the line for 1.
3rd and 7, total give up call to McClain for 1. WEAK ASS CALL.

[Lee Van Cleef]

didn't like that third down call.

[Sephy]

Punt downed at the 5!

[heartattackjones]

woot! pin em back!

[Sephy]

PF for calling for a fair catch and then blocking. Ball at the 2.5

[StingerNLG]

Ok. Maybe we are just saving the air attack until the Steelers least expect it??

I don't understand how we have only thrown one pass so far?

[heartattackjones]

lol, a 2 yd personal foul call

[darb72]

Let's get a safety here defense. Ball on the two!

[Sephy]

1st, Moore for 4-5.
2nd and 5, Moore for exactly 5. Steelers OL opening some holes.

[Sephy]

1st, Pryce and Scott SMACK Moore in the backfield. No gain.
2nd and 10, another give to Moore who is smacked by Scott after 3.
3rd and 6.5, Fabian lost coverage, and Holmes was open but drops it after being hit by Leonhard.

[darb72]

Drop by Homes brings up a fourth down. Block the punt Ed, we know you can do it.

[Sephy]

Leonhard to the Pitt 46!

[darb72]

Our offense has to start taking advantage of this great field posistion. We've started our last two drives inside Squeelers territory.

Heck, let's go play-action right here on first down.

[Sephy]

1st, PA, time to throw, overthrown for Heap. Polamalu recognized the pass well.
2nd, pass deflected up by Smith and Taylor, falls right to Clark for the pick. SHIT.

[darb72]

Damn it all. First turnover of the game goes to Pissburgh.

[Lee Van Cleef]

INT.

Damn.

[heartattackjones]

fuck

[StingerNLG]

Ok, what the fuck? That wasnot a good pass. Especially since mcgahee was alone on the left flank.

Erf.

[Lee Van Cleef]

That was a bad choice to throw there. Oh well, move on.

[darb72]

Good, the refs are letting the players play the game.

[Sephy]

1st down Pitt at the 33, Parker for 2.
2nd and 8, deep and incomplete for Washington. Fabian had him covered well. If anything that's OPI.
3rd, Fabian misses a tackle that would end the drive. Nate W. gets 18. FUCKING GODDAMNIT TACKLE

[Sephy]

1st, PA, Ben chased by Suggs and hit as he throws. Incomplete OOB.
2nd, TO forced.

[darb72]

Finally got a hit on Toothlessburger. Let's keep hitting that worthles pile of crap.

[Sephy]

2nd and 10, Ravens jump and Parker tackled.
2nd and 5, Parker stopped for no gain.
3rd and 5, Ray with a HUGE SACK ON BEN!!!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

I love ray ray!

[darb72]

RAY RAY!!!

Sacked Toothlessburger and slams him to the turf. Great blitz right there.

[heartattackjones]

Big Ben goes down hard!

[Sephy]

HOLY SHIT
Leonhard picks it up and runs INSIDE THE PITT 40!!

[heartattackjones]

I love jim leonard

[Lee Van Cleef]

Go Big Jim Leonhard!

[StingerNLG]

Jim Leonard!!!!! What a fucking ballplayer!!

[darb72]

Anybody thinking we should give Leonard a contract extension at the end of the year. He's been one of our most consistant performers in every aspect of the game.

[mjones73]

Anybody thinking we should give Leonard a contract extension at the end of the year. He's been one of our most consistant performers in every aspect of the game.

Hell yes, love the guy.

[Sephy]

1st from the 43, incomplete for Mason. He was open - barely.
2nd, McGahee hits contact, gets 3.
3rd and 7, no huddle, Flacco stands in against the blitz, and hits Heap inside the 20!!!!!

[heartattackjones]

damn that looked risky

[Lee Van Cleef]

HEAAAP!

Nice standing in there by Flacco!

[darb72]

HEAP!!!! And that was a dangerous throw but Heap takes it down to about the 15.

[StingerNLG]

What a fucking throw!!

[Sephy]

1st from the 16, Willis for 5. RUN BABY!
2nd and 5, give to the upback Neal for 2.
3rd and 3, Flacco throws it away and gets smacked. Will settle for a FG. Blitzers just coming straight through the middle.

Stover's 28 yarder - good.

3-0 Ravens.

[heartattackjones]

stover with the first points of the game

[StingerNLG]

Smart throw. They came quick, he threw it away and let stover bang the three.

I'll take it. 3-0 Ravens.

[darb72]

Ok, let's bring The Weapon out and get three points on the board.

And we're winning. Let's force a turnover and start the blowout.

[Sephy]

Nice touchback by Hauschka.

[Sephy]

1st, Ben gets too much time, throws behind McHugh for 7 yards.
2nd and 3, Parker for 1.5 or so.
3rd and short, Russel did NOT get it but they get a gift spot! Challenge that shit!!

[darb72]

What the hell was that spot? Challenge that play Harbaugh.

[Sephy]

Not even CLOSE. If these refs aren't on the books for Pittsburgh, this will be 4th down.

[darb72]

Good decision Coach. Always listen to people typing from the comfort of their own home when deciding on plays that can change the outcome of the season.

[TBOERaven16]

4th down

[StingerNLG]

An absolutely HORRIBLE spot. Not even close!!!!!

If this gets held up the refs are in the pockets today. I'm not even sure he got back to the LOS.

[Sephy]

Total Bullshit

[Sephy]

REFS IN THE BAG FOR THE STEELERS
HORSE Shit!

[darb72]

BULLSHIT! That ref is on the take obviously. That scummy pile of crap. I hope someone burns his house down for Christmas.

[Lee Van Cleef]

BS.

[TBOERaven16]

Unbelievable!!

[TTRaven]

Absolutely ridiculous! How in the hell can you make that call in such a big game?

[Sephy]

We get fucked again!!

1st, Parker for 4.
2nd and 6, Ben has all the time in the world and runs for 6.

[Sephy]

1st, complete to Ward inside the 40. THIS CALL IS FUCKING THE GAME

[Lee Van Cleef]

Why are the Steelers O-line getting push? We should be handing it to those rejects.

[darb72]

Does anybody know how to find the contact information for NFL refs?

[Sephy]

1st, Parker for 2. Hell, give him 3, they did it before. I'm still fucking steaming.
2nd and 7, Parker for 4-5. Flag down. Offensive holding.
2nd and 14, Ben complete to Washington, an actual tackle by Rolle. Gain of 10.
3rd and 5, delay of game NOT CALLED but offside is. Miller caught for 15.

THE REFS ARE FUCKING US

[Lee Van Cleef]

How was that not Delay of Game???

[Sephy]

1st, from the 16, screen incomplete.
2nd, complete to Parker but nice tackle by Fabian. Gain of 3-4.
3rd and 6, blitz comes and thrown behind Ward, incomplete.

Gift 3 points here. Still some fucking bullshit.

[TBOERaven16]

No flag?!?!

[darb72]

Ok, even with the refs cheating the game is tied.

Let's beat the piss out of these inbred rednecks.

[StingerNLG]

Ahh shit. Tied up.

We need to lock down Hines Ward.

That horseshit call cost us big on this drive. That was an Ed Hoculi-type call.

[mjones73]

Yeah, those refs should be wearing yellow and black, two blown calls on that drive. Fuck Hines Ward, someone needs to run one those asshole refs over.

[darb72]

No, Hoculi made an honest mistake. His was a terrible call but this guy here is obviously on the take. I'm splitting my time between here and trying to find out how to contact the NFL refs association to lodge a complaint.

[Sephy]

Yamon to the 23.

[Sephy]

1st, LeRon for 7. Straight through.
2nd and 4, LeRon for 4 to the first down.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Go McClain Train!

[Sephy]

1st, LeRon runs clean, gets 8-9 yards.
2nd and 1, quick to Mason, gets 4-5.

[Sephy]

Refs are having some dumbshit conference in the middle of the field. Deciding how to fuck us again.

[heartattackjones]

what the hell is going on?

[Lee Van Cleef]

Refs trying to con us by taking away our momentum.

[Sephy]

79 was CONFUSED?!?!?!?
1st, LeRon again for 2-3.
2nd and 7, PA, Flacco rolls right and throws it away.
3rd, Flacco avoids pressure expertly and hits Clayton for a first!!!

[heartattackjones]

nice throw! 1st down

[StingerNLG]

Damn. Mason needs to catch that.

[Sephy]

1st from the 34, to the endzone and DROPPED by Mason! He was there! Perfect throw by Flacco. Mistimed jump.
2nd, PA, screen to Neal for 12!!

[TBOERaven16]

What a call!!! A screen to a blocking fullback!

[F Angelos]

A screen to Neal? The Steelers D falls over in shock. First down!

[Sephy]

Hell yeah Lorenzo. 2 minute warning. LETS GET A TD HERE!!

[StingerNLG]

Damn. I've never see Neal move that that!! Go big boy!!!!

[darb72]

Neil with the nice scamper for a first down.

On a side note, if anybody ever wondered what I would look like running the football in the NFL that right there gives you a pretty good idea. That might have been the longest (in time consumed) 10 yard run in NFL history.

[darb72]

Oh, it turns out this ref is the same one who reffed the "Tuck Rule" game.

[heartattackjones]

On a side note, if anybody ever wondered what I would look like running the football in the NFL that right there gives you a pretty good idea. That might have been the longest (in time consumed) 10 yard run in NFL history.

:laugh:

[Sephy]

1st, McClain for 2.
2nd and 8, complete to Mason for 10. First down! TO Ravens I think.

[TBOERaven16]

Mason spots the ball for the refs

[TBOERaven16]

Letrs run down this clock now. Not give them a chance.

[darb72]

Flacco probably could have run that one in for a TD.

[Sephy]

1st from the 11, DROPPED by McClain. Had a shot at good yardage there.
2nd, PA again, complete to Neal for 3.
3rd and 7, pass boinks off the crossbar. Flacco panicked on that one.

Stover from 26 - 6-3.

[RavensInBrazil]

Whatever happened to running the ball? :/

Still, we have the lead, let's keep it!

[F Angelos]

Mason was wide open according to Burnett.

[mjones73]

I'm still liking the shots down field, I doubt Mason makes that mistake again. The missed TD I mean.

Joe did panic on that play, he had a lil more time to set up and take a shot.

[Sephy]

Moore to the 25.

[TBOERaven16]

Lets get an INT here.....

[darb72]

Ok we've got the lead back from the Refs and Squeelers. Let's crush them in the second half.

[StingerNLG]

I like the playcalling there. We just need to finish these drives in the second half.

[Sephy]

1st, 43s left, at the 30, thrown too low for Nate on the blitz.
2nd, 39s left, draw to Moore, loses 4. Clock will run.
That'll go to the locker room.

[Lee Van Cleef]

We also need to stop the short stuff down the sideline.

[mjones73]

I like the playcalling there. We just need to finish these drives in the second half.

Agreed, gotta keep pounding them on the ground, McClain is a beast.

[TBOERaven16]

6-3...should be at least 6-0. Big2nd half upcoming.

BTW...thank you to Houston Texans today. and no thank you to JP Losman..

[mjones73]

Losman single handedly blew that game for them.

[UKRavenGordon]

A lead at half time. I'll take it. Flacco seemed to ease into the game and made some good plays in the 2nd quarter. Agreed that we need to pound McLain though.

[F Angelos]

Arizona:frauds. Min 28 Ari 0. Bye bye MVP Warner. Now we're stuck wth another Peyton slurp job.

[F Angelos]

Good news and bad news. Ravens 8-1 when leading at the half. The One loss:Pit.

[mjones73]

I'm tired of the NFL Network commercial for Saturday's game, since when did Romo become a renowned surgeon on the field? More like a renowned choke artist.

[HoustonRaven]

We have made great 2nd half adjustments thus far ....

Enjoying the game from the airport bar in St Louis airport!

[Sephy]

Steelers get the ball to start. Need big D to open the half.

Hauschka's kick in the endzone again. Touchback.

[Lee Van Cleef]

What push from Pryce. He's a machine.

[Sephy]

1st, Ben pressured by Pryce, incomplete for Miller. Ben planted on the ground.
2nd, end around to Nate, who is wrapped up by Reed after about 5-6.
3rd and 4, Ray almost got a sack, and pass thrown away! NICE STAND D!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Serious pressure there! We need more of that!

[Sephy]

Leonhard to the 35. Reed was held on the block.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Seriously. Find a way to resign Leonhard. He's nothing but heart.

[darb72]

Good job D. Now it's time for the offense to pick up where they left off and punch it into the endzone.

[Sephy]

Sting: have they shown Teixeira? Is he there?

[Sephy]

1st, give to LeRon for 8. Pounding through.
2nd and 2.5, McClain for 4. Bang!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Should've got rid of it early there Flacco.

[Sephy]

1st, Flacco is sacked back at the 35. Gaither had Harrison handled well, but Smith came back and sacked Flacco. Held on too long.
2nd and 21, Willis gets the draw for about 5.
3rd and 16, Flacco bounces the pass to Clayton. That probably wasn't going anywhere anyway.

[Sephy]

Great coverage by Tommy Z on the punt.

[HoustonRaven]

The speed of the Steeler LB's are almost as fast as ours ....

Cant fault Flacco on that one ...

[Lee Van Cleef]

Bout right they called holding, there.

[darb72]

Heck of a play by Ngata. And people wonder why I always boo our first round draft picks.

[TBOERaven16]

Whoa!! Could you imagine tackling that dude with no pads?!?!

[Sephy]

1st from the 24, Parker bounces for 11, but major holding all over the place.
1st and 13, Parker SMACKED by Ngata!!
2nd and 13, Parker gets the catch but Ngata gets outside and stops him after 5.
3rd and 8, REED WITH THE SACK!!!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

REED!

What a sack, a bolt of Purple out of nowhere man!

[darb72]

REED!!! Holy crap our guys are fast.

Great sack by Reed and it forces another punt and another chance to talk about how great Leonhard is.

[Sephy]

Reed shot in the pocket like a freaking bullet. Wow. Leonhard gets it to the 41.

[darb72]

Whoa!! Could you imagine tackling that dude with no pads?!?!

No. No I can't. And I would prefer not ever having that particular nightmare thank you.:thumbup:

[Sephy]

1st, quick hit to Clayton for 2.
2nd and 8, LeRon for about 4.
3rd and 4, the ball never gets snapped, but everyone moves. False start.
3rd and 9, Flacco as he is going down throws it away.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Are our receivers not getting open or is Flacco just holding on a second or two too long?

[Sephy]

Punt downed at the 1!!!

[TBOERaven16]

Koch!!! He has to be in the pro bowl..

[Lee Van Cleef]

At the 1 by Stone. Awesome!

[HoustonRaven]

I smellin' a safety?

[StingerNLG]

Sting: have they shown Teixeira? Is he there?

They haven't shown him yet. Rumor was he was here as a guest of Angelos.

Offense needs to get in gear soon. This defensive slugfest isn't going to last much longer.

I have a feeling the next team that scores 7 is going to win this game.

[mjones73]

That was excellent, we are winning the field position battle hands down, need to get Ben to screw up now with him backed up that far.

[TBOERaven16]

Are our receivers not getting open or is Flacco just holding on a second or two too long?

I think they arent open. But he probably has been warned and knows that a big mistake would most likely cost us the game. I would like to see the take another shot though!

[Sephy]

COME ON D!!
1st, Holmes catches, fumbles, RECOVERED BY REED!!!!!!!!!!

[mjones73]

And there it is! Nice strip by Rolle and Reed is on fire again.

[TBOERaven16]

Please be a fumble!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[darb72]

YES!!! Even better than a safety is our SAFETY. The ultimate ballhawk picks up the fumble forced by Rolle.

[Stumpy]

REED!!!!

[Sephy]

Holy shit. Great play by Rolle to force the fumble. LETS GET 6 HERE BABY!!

[RavensInBrazil]

Let's cash this one in!

[TTRaven]

Hell of a play by Rolle! Holmes going out could be huge for us.

[Sephy]

1st from the 16, McClain for 4.
2nd and 6, McClain for 2.
3rd and 4, Flacco hit as he throws as the blitz comes in, incomplete.

Stover on again, good.

9-3 Ravens.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Damn. We really need to capitalise on the great field position we've been getting.

[darb72]

Good decision by Flacco. Get rid of it and live for the FG.... we're up by six.

[mjones73]

I'll take 3 over nothing, need to get in the end zone at some point and cushion that lead.

[F Angelos]

This red zone crap is going to cost us.

[HoustonRaven]

This game is going to come down to 60 minutes of the better defense.

We have the edge. Now we need to close out!

[StingerNLG]

I understand the Steelers have the top defense, but damnit we need to finish drives.

This is scaring me.

[Sephy]

Russell to the 24.

[Sephy]

1st, Fabian breaks up the pass for Nate. Nice coverage.
2nd, give to Parker for 2.
3rd and 8, Reed blitzes, complete to Holmes for 9. Damnit!

[darb72]

Darn it all. Come on D, force another turnover.

[Lee Van Cleef]

What was that Ray? C'mon!

[HoustonRaven]

Another D turnover and score wins the game ...

[Sephy]

1st, wow, Ray misses a tackle on Parker, he goes for 7. Ray has him at the line.
2nd and 3, Parker stopped for a 3-4 yard loss!
3rd and 6, Fabian GREAT DEFENSE batting down the pass!

[Lee Van Cleef]

How good has Washington been these last few weeks?

[TBOERaven16]

Fabian has been playing extremely well...

[TTRaven]

Washington has been playing his ass off. Great pick up by Ozzie!

[HoustonRaven]

1st defensive TD wins the game .....

OR ....

We score on this drive and we win .... Come on Flacco!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Another D turnover and score wins the game ...

I wouldn't bank on that. Look what they did to Dallas last week. We need to do much more to win this game.

[StingerNLG]

And for who asked, I'm not seeing a lot of open receivers today. But we are only running 3 or more on third down it seems and the Steelers are blitzing and making Flacco throw quick.

No one is getting into a soft zone either.

[darb72]

And another false start. Guys, it really isn't that hard not to move before the snap.

[RavensInBrazil]

C'mon, these false starts are killing us

[Sephy]

1st from the 27, McClain for 2. No mystery here.
2nd and 8, Willie false starts. Come on, no excuse for that.
2nd and 13, LeRon running powerfully, gets 6. Heap is hurt.
3rd and 7, Flacco's pass dropped by McGahee. Fucking WORTHLESS!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Uh oh...

[darb72]

They can't advance a muff. Damn it all we needed that turnover.

[Sephy]

Holmes muffs the punt and the Ravens lose the chance to get it. UGH!!!

[TTRaven]

McGahee shows how craptastic he is by dropping yet another pass.

[TBOERaven16]

Another Pittsburgh break. Seems like they get one every week

[Stumpy]

You have got to be kidding me... God hates us!!! What was that? How can the ball wind up in Shittsburghs hands....

[Stumpy]

Go BART!!!! DId everyone see Ward try to blindside Bart and Bart duck him....

[Sephy]

1st from the 33 of the Ravens?, Ben runs for 5 or so. Ward gets a cheap shot on Scott.
2nd and 3, Fabian misses a tackle for a no gainer, Moore gets 1-2.
3rd quarter ends.

[darb72]

Come on D. Hold them to a FG attempt.

Offense, when you get back on the field it would be just swell if you could march the ball like you did to end the first-half.

[Lee Van Cleef]

I see Ward tried to take out Scott on that Jen scramble, Scott Ducked and Ward went flying over him.

[Stumpy]

The only thing that would have been better than Ward flying over Scott was Ray Ray on the other side of Scott crushing Ward.

[Sephy]

3rd and 1, Suggs pressures AND MCKINNEY PICKS IT OFF!!!!!!!!!

[darb72]

Go Fatboy Go!!!!

[RavensInBrazil]

Wait, what exactly happened there? How did the Steelers get so far into Ravens territory?

[Stumpy]

Int Int Int

[TBOERaven16]

Yeah Booiy!!!!!

[mjones73]

That was fucking awesome!

[mjones73]

Wait, what exactly happened there? How did the Steelers get so far into Ravens territory?

Holmes muffed a punt and Fox from the Steelers picked it up and ran with it.

[Stumpy]

Ngata spilled Colon on the field.... LOL

[Sephy]

Ngata gets a flag for tossing down Colon.

[darb72]

I'll take that Ngata. Next time he's on the ground, kick him in the ribs.

[Lee Van Cleef]

I thought Colon tried to hit him from replays?

[RavensInBrazil]

NFL.com calling it a fumble after a Suggs sack

[Lee Van Cleef]

We need a long drive here. The D is selling out, give them some rest and put us over 1 score.

[StingerNLG]

I swear the refs are trying to hand Pittsburgh the game.

[darb72]

No, Ngata just went ahead and jerked him down to the turf. It was pretty obviously a personal foul.

[Sephy]

1st from the 22, McClain for 3.
2nd and 7, Willis for another 3-4.
3rd and 4, ball going for Mason popped up and almost picked but htis the ground.

[RavensInBrazil]

Damn, Flacco is usually money on third down

[Lee Van Cleef]

Bugger. Almost got Mason killed there.

[Sephy]

This run run pass is very frustrating.

[darb72]

Anybody really surprised Nicki took Breean back to the bedroom to get him away from Daddy during this game?

[TTRaven]

I feel a pick 6 coming up.

[Stumpy]

Anybody really surprised Nicki took Breean back to the bedroom to get him away from Daddy during this game?

HUH????

[mjones73]

Need to get something going on offense, the way they are killing Ben, the defense is due to put some points up.

[Sephy]

1st, from the 34, Parker for 9. Ray is tackling poorly today.

[Sephy]

1st, complete to Ward down to the 26. DAMNIT. WE DO NOT NEED THIS.

[darb72]

HUH????

I have a five month old son named Breean. Nicki, my wife, didn't want him to hear dirty words.:D

[Lee Van Cleef]

The Steelers O-line is getting a lot of push again.

[Sephy]

1st, Parker for 3.
2nd and 7, Ben somehow avoids a sack and throws it away.
3rd and 7, TO forced.

[Lee Van Cleef]

This is a critical drive. The O is ineffective right now, so the D needs to step up again and stop them. TD here could be a killer.

[Sephy]

3rd and 7, caught by Ward for 8. UGH. behind him AGAIN!

[darb72]

Ok D, hold them to a FG and hopefully the offense can pick up a first down.

[Sephy]

1st, PA, thrown, hell I don't know, incomplete.
2nd, Miller nailed by JJ after 2-3 yards.
3rd and 7, INCOMPLETE for Holmes!

[darb72]

And the defense holds 'em. Block this FG guys and let's let the offense actually do something.

[Sephy]

FG good. 9-6.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Man. My heart is racing right now.

[TBOERaven16]

I had to let my dog outside in case Pitt scored a td..

[StingerNLG]

Damn. We have to score here. If we have to punt again, I think we may lose this one.

And can someone please cover Hines Ward today???

[Lee Van Cleef]

We need to find that 4th quarter form right here. It's been magic for most of the season, time to bring it up again.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Oh god, why didn't Figurs follow his lead there?

[darb72]

PA pass on first down. Nobody will be expecting it.

[TBOERaven16]

2 first downs and run some clock please...

[Sephy]

1st from the 25, McClain lays into someone for 2-3. please stop run run passing.
2nd and 8, complete to Clayton to the 48!!! OMG A PASS!!

[darb72]

Great catch by Clayton. Puts the ball near midfield.

[Stumpy]

Nice grab...

[Sephy]

1st, LeRon for 9! Maybe 10! They'll give him a first.

[darb72]

I miss Ray Rice. I hope McGhee sucks it up and proves his worth right now.

[Sephy]

1st, Willis runs into a pile, gets 2-3.
2nd and 7, PA, deep for Mason, thrown just too far :( Mason was open!!
3rd and 7, complete to Mason for 10 and a first!!

[darb72]

First down catch by Mason. Keep that clock running guys and punch it into the endzone.

[Sephy]

1st, from the 29, LeRon for 1-2. No hole.
2nd and 8, McClain runs into nothing. Maybe 1.
3rd and 7, TO Ravens
