Game Thread / Both Sat Games

I agree PP ...

Nice to see a former Raven make good!

Im convinced they are legit and I will be pulling for them the rest of the way.

Screw both the Redskins & Steelers. I hate the fans of both teams.

I'm with you, T. I watched the second half of the first game at a little bar populated by Redskins fans, including one I was sitting with, and it was difficult not to celebrate what Seattle did in the last ten minutes. (I had to be nice to her, she was crushed).

As for the Steelers, Ben doesn't look too good so far. I thought it was going to be their night after they scored so quickly on their first possession, but the rest of the first half was all Jax.

And as I type this, the Jags are on the Squeeler's ten yard line. Could be a good day.

28-10.

28-17 and the Steelers are driving...too close for comfort!

[ladyraven127]

Jaguars are falling apart . . . . Cripes I hate Pittspuke

[RavenScallywag]

at least the Jags managed to get a lucky break on the 2 pt conversion with a holding call. Big Ben scrambles on the 2nd attempt, comes up about 4-5 yards short.

28-23. My wife predicted a one point Steelers win. Only way I can see that is if they get another TD with no extra point.

[HoustonRaven]

Did anyone else notice that Billick-esque 3 straight pass plays when they have already established the run???

Jags are imploding!

i swear...Jax, please get a FG or something! Don't let them win by 1!!!!!

Wow, terrible call for defensive pass interference. Ward was holding his facemask!!!! Looks like the refs from their Super Bowl game are officiating......

[purplepoe]

So let me get this straight.

Hines Ward can run and get into the face of a Jags player after pretty much any play without a call.

Then he can CLEARLY grab and hold the facemask of the defender (yes it was PI too) and that goes uncalled.

Just makin sure.

What a crock.

Yes, he can!

That was 2 calls that should have negated each other (PI and Illegal Hands to the Face).....

[4G63]

No illegal block in the back on the Jags punt?

[ladyraven127]

Pitts can do anything they want Poe. I swear to God they pay the refs off.

I cannot stand this team no matter what year or who they are playing or where they stand in the division, but I swear I have never seen a team get so many "give me" calls or a team that have so many blatant penalities ignored.

It's not my imagination . . . . . I know it's not.

[HoustonRaven]

Has the cloud of a close loss wore off on those who actually wanted Shitsburgh to beat the Pats finally?

[4G63]

That was a stupid challenge! He's gonna lose his last timeout!!!

[purplepoe]

Exactly.

That was dumb.

Plain and simple.

Jack Del Billick

It just goes to show you that other coaches make dumb decisions too.

All of em.

I wonder if most of the Billick bashers are aware of this or if they think that a new coach is gonna make all the right decisions.
