Game Thread - vs Chiefs, Playoffs Round 1

[StingerNLG]

Damn, you can't blame blocking on that one.

We just don't have enough receivers on the field sometimes.

[StingerNLG]

How the fuck is that NOT pass interference???!?!?!?!?!?!

[Dade]

A little PI there. Would rather they went for it there.

[festivus]

Heap mugged. Would have liked that flag.

[akashicrecorder]

How the fuck is that NOT pass interference???!?!?!?!?!?!

Looks like this is the day Mr. Malice decided to sit on his flag...

[Puke]

How the fuck is that NOT pass interference???!?!?!?!?!?!

It was, refs saved the chiefs that time.

[darb72]

Heap mugged. Would have liked that flag.

It was tipped. Barely but it was tipped. Good no flag.

[psuasskicker]

How the fuck is that NOT pass interference???!?!?!?!?!?!

The only explanation I have is that it's a make-up for the non-holding from the play before.

[Beerracuda]

It was tipped. Barely but it was tipped. Good no flag.

Good point, Darb. Forgot all about the tip rule.

[HoustonRaven]

Good no call.

The refs are letting them play. As long as they call it both ways, Im ok with it.

[psuasskicker]

How is that not grounding? In the pocket, no receiver within about 20 yards.

[psuasskicker]

There it is.

[StingerNLG]

Thank you. I was hoping they would call grounding.

[darb72]

And it's intentional grounding. I'll take it but I'm not real sure about it.

[Dade]

T-Sizzle!

[psuasskicker]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzlllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeee

[akashicrecorder]

I agree that it shouldn't have been called... he was not about to sacked. It's weird to see a team getting hosed by the referees when we are on the same field as them O_o

[darb72]

And that's a sack. Good job Sizzle.

[StingerNLG]

And a GREAT sack by Suggs.

Looks like the defense has made some serious adjustments at halftime.

[RavNMadMan]

Defense in high gear right now....

[Dade]

The defense has come alive. The legend Ray Lewis strips the ball!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Ray ray!


Yes!

[akashicrecorder]

HOLY CRAP! Man, D came to PLAY today!

[Puke]

wooooooo hoooooo, Ravens ball!!!

[StingerNLG]

AND a fumble!!!!

"Sugar" Ray Lewis!!!

Ok, can we agree that maybe Lewis is still elite? ROFL.

[RavNMadMan]

INT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vertical Steel]

I'm surprised they called that. I've seen worse Int. grounding not called. Probably technically was though. I don't know the exact language of the rule.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Suggs a liittle bit lucky he didn't get in any trouble for bumping the ref on the way to piss off the crowd with his sack celebration.

[darb72]

That's a fumble and we didn't hand it back to them. Good job defense.

Offense, you suck.

[Dade]

Thank you PI!

[StingerNLG]

And illegal contact!!!!

This is turning momentum COMPLETELY in our way.

[RavNMadMan]

....and the tide has now turned.....

[psuasskicker]

This better fucking be game fucking over right now. Everything's starting to go our way now. Chiefs are showing why they're 10-6 against one of the easiest schedules in the NFL and we're 12-4 against one of the hardest.

- C -

[Sirdowski]

Young and undisciplined starting to show.

[Puke]

I'm surprised they called that. I've seen worse Int. grounding not called. Probably technically was though. I don't know the exact language of the rule.

Depends on who throws it, Brady never gets called for that!!

[StingerNLG]

Sigh, and another fucking Flacco sack. He had NO CHANCE.

[Sirdowski]

What a great oppritunity to call a screen.

[psuasskicker]

That's weird...that looked almost like it was a designed run.

[darb72]

Okay, it's going to be 16-7 after this drive. Our offense has no killer instinct.

[myfavoriteboxer]

O-line :grbac::grbac::grbac:

[Dade]

Blitz un fucking block!

[psuasskicker]

Man Hali is friggin' AWESOME.

[StingerNLG]

Offense just CAN NOT FINISH drives. Shit.

[akashicrecorder]

If that pass comes out a hair early that's probably a TD.

[Dade]

That's weird...that looked almost like it was a designed run.

I was thinking that for a second too. Like a designed QB draw.

[RavNMadMan]

An occasional TD from inside the red zone would be nice.....

[Lee Van Cleef]

Mmm. O-line has to keep this together.

[darb72]

I'm buying a Cundiff jersey, who all's in?

[Irish Raven]

Hali is an absolute beast!

[Dade]

If that pass comes out a hair early that's probably a TD.

:iagree:

[HoustonRaven]

Man Hali is friggin' AWESOME.

Rice whiffed on the block.

He is awesome, but that play Rice shat the bed.

[Dade]

I'm buying a Cundiff jersey, who all's in?

+1

[akashicrecorder]

Dear Lord I think this team gives me stomach ulcers, haha. The Chiefs are one retarded long play from making us shit our pants.

[Irish Raven]

I'm buying a Cundiff jersey, who all's in?

My next jersey will be a white one, don't have one of those yet and it's be Number 7 Cundiff

Ozzie, give this man a contract!

And another touchback.
Was gutted Cundiff didn't get the record, well tied it is fantastic too I suppose

[Vertical Steel]

Man Hali is friggin' AWESOME.

We could use him back in Happy Valley

[HoustonRaven]

My next jersey will be a white one, don't have one of those yet and it's be Number 7 Cundiff

Ozzie, give this man a contract!

And another touchback.
Was gutted Cundiff didn't get the record, well tied it is fantastic too I suppose

Just buy a real one. ;)

[Dade]

The score should be 24-7 right now.

[Beerracuda]

Man, do people realize how awesome of a weapon Cundiff is? That's gotta suck to realize that more than half the time you'll be starting your next drive at your own 20!

[myfavoriteboxer]

Man Hali is friggin' AWESOME.

Maybe they'll trade him to Minnesota... :laugh::laugh:

[akashicrecorder]

Guard against the big play, D.

[darb72]

Hell yes landry.

[akashicrecorder]

Fuck yeah!!!

[Sirdowski]

He is God awful.

[Puke]

Nice pick, Castle stinks lol.

[Dade]

Defense has played lights out since halftime.

Offense get that killer instinct and put this game away!

[Irish Raven]

Hell yeah!

G'wan Dwan

[mjones73]

The d is on fire right now!

Matt

[darb72]

Offense, just punt and hope the defense can return one of those for a TD. Seriously, it's your only hope.

[RavenScallywag]

Landry INT, and I swear I'm waiting for the fumble every time now...

Block in the back takes it back a bit

[RavNMadMan]

Landry int! The D is on fire right now....

[Vertical Steel]

Cassell sucks

[psuasskicker]

Come on fucking finish this now!!!

[akashicrecorder]

G'wan Dwan

:patriot:

[StingerNLG]

INTERCEPTION!!!

Nice pick by Landry!

[akashicrecorder]

Dude, who was that fat fuck standing over McGahee talking smack?

[darb72]

I want a deep post pattern. Should surprise everybody.

[Irish Raven]

Come on O, kill the game and put it away

[psuasskicker]

Nice job by Flacco standing tough under pressure!

[Dade]

Flacco hanging in the pocket delivering to Heap. Love it!

[StingerNLG]

Heap has been on FIRE today!

[Dade]

Something happen to McClain at the bottom of that pile. A lil dirty play by KC there.

[RavenScallywag]

I think everyone can agree...Flacco is playing well today, certainly leaps and bounds above his play the 5 games prior in the postseason.

[4G63]

That was an awesome throw to Heap by Joe!

[Dade]

Touchdown! Flacco to Q!

[Lee Van Cleef]

What a nice TD pass.

[akashicrecorder]

Fuck yes!!!

[StingerNLG]

TOUCHDOWN BOLDIN!!!!!!

Damn!!! Nice play!!

[psuasskicker]

Hey, look what happens when you get Q into the offense!

[myfavoriteboxer]

Boooooollllldddddiiiinnnnnnnn . He's aliiiiiive

[darb72]

Boldin, you STUD!

Maybe, just maybe, the D can hold them now.

[StingerNLG]

And let's be fair. Great playcall by Cam here.

[Vertical Steel]

Gotta give Flacco some credit. He is playing pretty well today.

[Hound]

Im going to start looking at plane tickets to Pittsburgh

[Sirdowski]

Fire Mattison.

[HoustonRaven]

Hey, look what happens when you get O line into the offense!

Fixed it

[akashicrecorder]

I want the next 15 minutes and 27 seconds to go fast so I can make a "I eat my crow, Joe was great" thread.

[psuasskicker]

I'm calling it right now. There will be NO comeback here!!!

[StingerNLG]

They finished a drive too!

[Dade]

Defense has 4 turnovers this quarter alone!

[mjones73]

And it's ours again!

Matt

[Puke]

wow, another turnover by Castle

[darb72]

I would like to point out that I called the post play.

And another TO by the defense. I wish I had them in fantasy today.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Wow, this effort by Cassel is one of the worst performances in a single quarter that I've ever seen.

[StingerNLG]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

A fumble too!?!?!?!

What an epic meltdown by the Chiefs!

I'd challenge this though.

EDIT: Replay to ME looks like his arm is coming forward. This will be overturned.

EDIT AGAIN: They are playing our song. :)

[Vertical Steel]

Infamous Tuck Rule

[psuasskicker]

That's gonna be an incomplete pass 100% tuck rule right there.

[HoustonRaven]

Tuck rule.

Damnit.

[Dade]

Damn...his arm was going forward.

[festivus]

Incomplete pass.

[mjones73]

The tuck rule is going to burn us

Matt

[RavNMadMan]

I think everyone can agree...Flacco is playing well today, certainly leaps and bounds above his play the 5 games prior in the postseason.

:word

[akashicrecorder]

Well Chiefs, here is your second life.

[darb72]

I thought one of our guys hit the ball. Does that change anything in the single most bizarre rule in sports history?

[RavNMadMan]

KC dodges a bullet right here....incomplete pass

[Dade]

The NFL needs to get rid of the tuck rule.

[Irish Raven]

Burned by the tuck rule

Chiefs are damn lucky over that

[myfavoriteboxer]

What is the purpose of a rule that makes that a pass? How bizarre. Webb made an awesome play, he should be credited with a FF there.

[RavNMadMan]

LMAO...Nance doesn't know the difference between a 2 score and 3 score game...

[akashicrecorder]

The NFL needs to get rid of the tuck rule.

I understand the logic but I agree, it truly is awful.

[HoustonRaven]

I thought one of our guys hit the ball. Does that change anything in the single most bizarre rule in sports history?

No.

If ball is coming forward and knocked out, it's incomplete. Play is over once the ball comes out.

[darb72]

That makes it 26 games our D hasn't given up a TD in the third quarter.

Of course it's the fourth quarter that has been the bane of our existance this season so we'll see how that goes.

[Maverick Hiker]

Come on Ravens. I think the D for the Ravens will be OK this fourth quarter they haven't been on the field all game.

[Vertical Steel]

I don't think there is any way KC comes back. Cassel is inept at best.

[psuasskicker]

LMAO...Nance doesn't know the difference between a 2 score and 3 score game...

No, it's a 2 score game. 2 TDs and 2 two point conversions would tie it.

- C -

[StingerNLG]

I would decline that penalty.

Wilson and Carr have been playing great today! Our secondary on a whole has been playing very well since the 1st quarter.

Even that bum they have at FS. :D

I keed, I keed!

[darb72]

This is Raven's football.

Now let's not do anything stupid on offense. I'm looking at you CAM.

[Dade]

Killing them in TOP. Their defense has too tired by now.

Stallworth sighting, let me guess a end around.

[akashicrecorder]

I had bad flashbacks when I saw Stallworth fighting for those extra yards...

[RavNMadMan]

No, it's a 2 score game. 2 TDs and 2 two point conversions would tie it.

- C -

my bad....sorry Jim nance

[StingerNLG]

There's our Dante Stallworth end around. And that will be the only play he runs.

[darb72]

Cam, what the hell did I just say about not doing anything STUPID?

Unless this is all to trick the Squeelers and throw to Stallworth when we play them.

[akashicrecorder]

Well, that's a drive killer.

[darb72]

Stallworth's biggest contribution to the team this year was that offensive PI call.

Uhmmm...

[Maverick Hiker]

HHHHHeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaapppppp! I can hear it in KC!

[akashicrecorder]

Well, that's a drive killer.

This is obviously not my grandfather's Ravens...

[StingerNLG]

Heap AGAIN. A career postseason day?

[Lee Van Cleef]

Just beating the blitz here. Really nice.

[HoustonRaven]

I will be stunned if Stallworth is in a Ravens uniform next season.

[Dade]

Now the running game is starting to click.

Heap has been money today.

[darb72]

The Chiefs D is exhausted. Finally we kept the foot on the pedal and the other team is worn out.

[StingerNLG]

Oh yeah. The Chief's defense is really starting to get tired. You can see it now.

[psuasskicker]

That 8 or 9 yard run on first down by Rice is the definition of what dominating ToP will do for you. This defense is dead on its feet. They may not get 2 more possessions on offense, nevermind able to score twice.

[RavNMadMan]

One of our better 2nd half performances so far...and just in time

[Maverick Hiker]

Cassell looks like the college backup QB that he was in this game. I'm surprised he took the Chiefs this far.

[Puke]

Chiefs players starting to lose it, lol.

[Dade]

Damn! Did ya'll hear Joe screaming at Oher to huddle up. Love it!

[myfavoriteboxer]

Game's over. Their D is worn out. I thought this would be just like the Miami game in '08, and it has been. A non-playoff-tested team that had a low amt of turnovers in the regular season, is rewarded for a decent season with a home playoff beatdown. Warms the heart.

Heap -- 9 catches, 102 yards.
Mason -- 1 catch, 11 yards

[darb72]

Now that Oher is pissed, run behind him.

[StingerNLG]

Come on Michael Oher. Calm down big boy. Don't let them get in your head.

[akashicrecorder]

Game's over. Their D is worn out. I thought this would be just like the Miami game in '08, and it has been. A non-playoff-tested team that had a low amt of turnovers in the regular season, is rewarded for a decent season with a home playoff beatdown. Warms the heart.

:laugh:

[Maverick Hiker]

That's ok. Let's have a good punt and pin them back. D should be rested took time off the clock too

[darb72]

Heap owns the franchise record for catches in a game with 10.

Hell of a game by him.

[Dade]

They jumped off sides! 1st down!

[StingerNLG]

Woah!!!! Offsides? 1st down!

[darb72]

Oh great, I need a Koch jersey now. How that guy didn't make it to the probowl is beyond me.

[akashicrecorder]

I almost wish the offsides wasn't even called because that punt by Koch was so fucking beautiful.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Perfect punt...that was incredible. And the pen renders it useless!

[Maverick Hiker]

Is it time to say "Bring on Pittsburgh"!

[psuasskicker]

What a disastrous mistake to jump off-sides. I mean, tough enough with the ball on the one. But 2:30 in ToP is WAY more important than 15-20 yards of field position right now.

- C -

[HoustonRaven]

Pull Flacco anyone?

[StingerNLG]

Come on offense. Don't go into a shell. Remember Houston. Remember New England. Remember these games. Put the nail into the coffin right HERE!!

[4G63]

What a punt by Koch!

[akashicrecorder]

Just settle down, Chiefs, OK? You got handled. Have some class.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Tyson Jackson is a punk.

[Dade]

Chiefs have gotten real dirty. Young team.

[darb72]

Come on offense. Don't go into a shell. Remember Houston. Remember New England. Remember these games. Put the nail into the coffin right HERE!!

No, now it's alright to run it.

And Tyson should've been ejected. He'll be fined for sure and maybe suspended.

Another great throw by Flacco to pick up the first and keep the clock running.

[psuasskicker]

Okay, first down, by why the eff are we snapping the ball with the clock running and 13 seconds still on the play clock?!?!?

[akashicrecorder]

This is the kind of game Joe and the offense needed... An extremely satisfying drive.

[Maverick Hiker]

The Ravens are making this look easy.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Chiefs have gotten real dirty. Young team.

Wonder if Coach Haley will shake Harbs' hand... :laugh:

[Corey]

Hey haters is this what you wanted? You got it.

[HoustonRaven]

10:00 minutes this drive alone

[StingerNLG]

Damnit. This is not putting the nail in!!!!

[Dade]

70+ plays by the Ravens offense.

[darb72]

I just wish Breean was here to watch this one. He's old enough now to have a basic understanding of football.

[psuasskicker]

No, now it's alright to run it.

And Tyson should've been ejected. He'll be fined for sure and maybe suspended.

Another great throw by Flacco to pick up the first and keep the clock running.

Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan get into a UFC match on the field and don't get suspended. No chance Tyson gets suspended for that.

- C -

[Lee Van Cleef]

From a Chiefs fan, in response to the comment "PFF don't rate tyson jackson"...made me lol:

"no one rates Tyson Jackson"

[Vertical Steel]

Damnit. This is not putting the nail in!!!!

How isn't it? Chiefs won't have any time to score after this. Not 2 scores.. or 3

[Dade]

McGahee!! That does it their done!

[Corey]

Damnit. This is not putting the nail in!!!!

There's your nail in the coffin.

[StingerNLG]

But THAT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[darb72]

Damnit. This is not putting the nail in!!!!

We shall call you Darth Stinger.

[Irish Raven]

Get in! Willis you beast

The Chiefs D are tired and getting frustrated

[akashicrecorder]

:eek::eek::eek:

[Lee Van Cleef]

What a drive that was.

[darb72]

Is it time to say "Bring on Pittsburgh"!

Go ahead lad, I think it's time.:thumbup:

[UKRavenGordon]

Bring on pittsburgh!!!!!!!!!!

[Vertical Steel]

Guess we'll be seeing you guys in Pittsburgh next Saturday. Here we go again!

[Dade]

Bring on Pittsburgh!

[RavNMadMan]

McGahee can stiff arm like nobody I've ever seen.....

[Beerracuda]

Game. Set. Match.

Brilliant piece of football, on both sides of the ball during the 2nd half!!

[psuasskicker]

Damnit. This is not putting the nail in!!!!

He was doing the darb negative talking thing.

I'd better see a shit-ton of threads this week about how we have no chance to beat Pittsburgh...

- C -

[Dade]

Damn that stadium emptied real quick.

[RavensInBrazil]

AFC playoffs couldn't have turned out any sweeter, not just for Ravens fans but for football fans in general. Two best rivalries nowadays in the semi-finals, what more could you ask for?

[baltimore_hokie]

Offense bringing some momentum into Shittsburgh. Defense has been lights out other than one play. It's a good day to be a Ravens fan.

[HoustonRaven]

McGahee can stiff arm like nobody I've ever seen.....

Guess you didn't see Marshawn Lynch yesterday

[myfavoriteboxer]

Ok Cundiff, calm down Pro Bowlah.

[Corey]

Not what we wanted Billy but its all good the D is playing lights out.

[StingerNLG]

We shall call you Darth Stinger.

http://www.afinelung.com/wp-content/uploads/darth_vade1-300x200.jpg

John.......................... Go for it on 4th down John...........

It is your destiny......

[HoustonRaven]

Damn that stadium emptied real quick.

The club level was empty the entire game.

How does this team make money?!?!

[Beerracuda]

AFC playoffs couldn't have turned out any sweeter, not just for Ravens fans but for football fans in general. Two best rivalries nowadays in the semi-finals, what more could you ask for?

Totally agree. Next weekend is going to be one killer weekend of football!

[Vertical Steel]

McGahee can stiff arm like nobody I've ever seen.....

Marshawn Lynch?

[HoustonRaven]

http://www.afinelung.com/wp-content/uploads/darth_vade1-300x200.jpg

John.......................... Go for it on 4th down John...........

It is your destiny......

And the empire will defeated by Ewoks!

[StingerNLG]

LOL. Two sacks on the same series. And that is how it should end. :)

[darb72]

Wow. Ray Lewis with the semi-rare sack.

The Chiefs are outmatched today.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Second half defence is awesome today. Just brilliant.

[akashicrecorder]

Wilson, padding the stats!

[baltimore_hokie]

Second half defence is awesome today. Just brilliant.

....Fire Mattison?

[StingerNLG]

LOL, and an interception to boot!

I say NOW let Bulger finish this one out and get a couple snaps.

[HoustonRaven]

Is it just me or is Ray the fastest dude alive with such a short stride?

The man shuffles faster than most folks run.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Another dope play with an INT instead of a knock-down on 4th and forever. But whatever, it's a romp, pad those stats Wilson.

[RavNMadMan]

Guess you didn't see Marshawn Lynch yesterday

Actually I did...but the booth has reviewed the play...the call by MadMan stands...Lynch stiff arm was as good (and possibly better) as Willis...offsetting stiff arms...neither HR or the MadMan will be charged with a timeout.

[Sirdowski]

Is it just me or is Ray the fastest dude alive with such a short stride?

The man shuffles faster than most folks run.

Ha. So true.

[StingerNLG]

Is it just me or is Ray the fastest dude alive with such a short stride?

The man shuffles faster than most folks run.

First Ballot.

[Corey]

Boy did Flacco and the team get that monkey off their backs in a big way. Flacco's playoff ineptness, GONE. No blowouts this season, GONE. Can you say peaking at the right time?

[Vertical Steel]

Looking forward to Saturday. Ravens won't have the luxury of defending a terrible QB next week.

They will have the luxury of going against a shitty O-line. Something I think we both can relate to.

[akashicrecorder]

Mike Preston's upcoming report card:

Flacco C-
Rice & McGahee D+
Wide receivers B-

[StingerNLG]

BTW, this is a win that makes you feel REALLY good about next week. We've been asking the team to play a complete 60 minute game, and they DID.

[baltimore_hokie]

Mike Preston's upcoming report card:

Flacco C-
Rice & McGahee D+
Wide receivers B-

Offensive line F
Defensive line B- (that long run was awful)
Dunkin Donuts A+++

[The Fanatic]

Looking forward to Saturday. Ravens won't have the luxury of defending a terrible QB next week.

They will have the luxury of going against a shitty O-line. Something I think we both can relate to.

I'm a thinkin' we're about the last team you really want to see coming in there.

Deep down, probably not even deep, but more like all over, you all were hoping like hell the Chiefs would pull off the miracle.

In the words of Ray Lewis...

Herre We Go!!!!

[StingerNLG]

Mike Preston's upcoming report card:

Flacco C-

I could see him giving that score, but I'd go C+ just because he did fumble twice, but threw no picks today. And he made several throws today he needed to extend drives.

[Dade]

Flacco grew up today. Hell of a game by Joe Cool. It must be the beard.

[baltimore_hokie]

I'm a thinkin' we're about the last team you really want to see coming in there.

Deep down, probably not even deep, but more like all over, you all were hoping like hell the Chiefs would pull off the miracle.

In the words of Ray Lewis...

Herre We Go!!!!

Pats fans were ALL rooting against us as well.

Nobody wants to see the Ravens, especially after an impressive victory like that.

[mjones73]

My co-worker from Pittsburgh was really going to see the Colts and not us next week.

Matt

[akashicrecorder]

Pats fans were ALL rooting against us as well.

Nobody wants to see the Ravens, especially after an impressive victory like that.

You know it.

Everybody puts the Ravens down but nobody wants to play us.

[Corey]

I could see him giving that score, but I'd go C+ just because he did fumble twice, but threw no picks today. And he made several throws today he needed to extend drives.

With no running game until the end of the game. Flacco WON this game for the Ravens.

Yup, you read that right. Without Flacco we do not win this game. He put this team on his back and WON IT.

Thats good enough for atleast a B+ or A-. He did have the turnover and he took some sacks he shouldnt have.

[RavNMadMan]

BTW, this is a win that makes you feel REALLY good about next week. We've been asking the team to play a complete 60 minute game, and they DID.

:word It was worth the wait to peak in the playoffs.

[Dade]

With no running game until the end of the game. Flacco WON this game for the Ravens.

Yup, you read that right. Without Flacco we do not win this game. He put this team on his back and WON IT.

Thats good enough for atleast a B+ or A-. He did have the turnover and he took some sacks he shouldnt have.

Exactly thats what I saw today.

[The Fanatic]

Flacco grew up today. Hell of a game by Joe Cool. It must be the beard.

To me, Flacco won this game today.

He did what needed to be done.

The outside throws weren't there which he loves, so he took the middle which has been the knock on him.

I can't count how many times throughout the year I thought he should have taken off and run.
He did that today.

Took full advantage of Todd Heap and his abilitys.


Solid solid performance by Flacco today.

If it's the beard, great, hopefully he looks like the guys from ZZtop by the time this is over.

[Vertical Steel]

I was rooting for the Colts, and the Chiefs yup. Steelers vs. Ravens is almost always a tough game.

However considering the past and present I'm not shaking with fear by any means. Just take a look at the Steelers recent record against Baltimore in big games and I think it speaks for itself.

[HoustonRaven]

If the past had any bearing on this season, you'd have a point.

Yinzers love living in the past, don't they.

What's next? A sixburgh reference?

[Vertical Steel]

If the past had any bearing on this season, you'd have a point.

Yinzers love living in the past, don't they.

What's next? A sixburgh reference?

The past includes this season sporto. Just look at the last game between these 2 teams. Who came out on top? Ya know... when the Steelers actually had their starting QB playing.

[Dade]

Just notice something on Nakri's Int and fumble. As soon as he made the pick, Reed starting clapping, like he was calling for the lateral.

[HoustonRaven]

The past includes this season sporto. Just look at the last game between these 2 teams. Who came out on top? Ya know... when the Steelers actually had their starting QB playing.

Ben plays defense?

Because I saw Flacco throw a game winning TD against your defense.

[StingerNLG]

Yep.

Let me clarify, I was using Preston's scale, not mine. I would have said B-. He did fumble twice and lose one, so I can't give more.

But he took this team on his back today. He FINALLY started looking somewhere else besides his first read then Ray Rice. Watching him hit Heap and Boldin in the middle of the field was not only impressive, but the Chief's weren't expecting it at all. Joe finally looked like he had the Cover 2 beat no matter how deep or tight the safeties were.

I hope this was the wakeup call to Cameron too that it's time to just let Joe be Joe, and the kid can play.

However considering the past and present I'm not shaking with fear by any means. Just take a look at the Steelers recent record against Baltimore in big games and I think it speaks for itself.

If I was in your shoes, I wouldn't be shaking with fear either, but I would be highly concerned by having to play a team that you full well know is more then capable of beating you, has more experience then anybody playing you, and definitely has absolutely no intimidation factor about coming there.

Should be the typical war so to speak that we're all use to, and the rest of the nation watching can't get a grip on what they're watching.

The past includes this season sporto. Just look at the last game between these 2 teams. Who came out on top? Ya know... when the Steelers actually had their starting QB playing.

It's funny that Steelers fans get so much joy out of comparing Flacco's rookie and second year to Ben in his prime.

I can't wait for Flacco to be a seven-year veteran going up against a young QB in five years when Ben is paralyzed from the beating he has taken in his career.

Hopefully, the turning point on the field starts here. And if not, we can still call you inbred and poor.

Please ignore the Stoolers troll.

Lets enjoy this victory.

Side note Joe ties Dan Marino for most wins the first 3 years to start a QB career.

Ben plays defense?

Because I saw Flacco throw a game winning TD against your defense.

I mentioned nothing about Ben playing defense. U have trouble with reading comprehension?

Steelers probably have more points on the board with a real QB in there negating a winning TD by Flacco. That's not the point.

The most recent history has the Ravens losing in their house to the Steelers in a big game that went a long way to determining the AFCN title.

He can say what he wants. VS is nervous, or scared. Steeler fans don't usually make an effort to troll a Ravens forum, much less a game thread.

Why am I not surprised a nuanced debate is impossible for a Shittsburgh fan ...

Sorry Dade. You're right. No more feeding the troll.

[Vertical Steel]

I also mentioned nothing about Flacco vs. Ben. Why are you guys injecting other people's stupid pointless arguments into my posts as though I said them? I simply said next week would be a tough game and u guys are turning into defensive whining bitches.

[Sirdowski]

Vertical Steel....sounds sexual.

[HoustonRaven]

Buh Bye Steel, we hardly knew ye ....

I have a feeling the mods will be putting him in time out pretty soon

[darb72]

Sorry Dade. You're right. No more feeding the troll.

And quit quoting the inbred.

The ignore feature on this forum is pretty useless if y'all keep pasting what the monkey says.:grbac:

I think that's what got Ben suspended the first 4 games of this season...

So inappropriate :laugh:

Calling for a "Timeout" for simple discussion? Wow you guys are thin skinned. Understandable I guess.
