Game Thread - Ravens/Steelers Round 2 - Now or Never!

DAMN! Ngata just PLOWED through Mendenhall!

[darb72]

I thought that was Gregg that blew up Mendenhall?

[StingerNLG]

How freaking lucky can the Squeelers be? Oh wait, Frank Walker on the coverage. I can complete passes to Stinger with Mr. Soft-zone covering.

And Gregg with the sack.

And I was not a WR in high school either!

[BArellano]

What was that about the luckiest team in football... Reed just squeezes in the FG by about 3 inches.

[Sephy]

God Enberg is clueless. He said Gregg got the sack, then once he realized it was Ngata, he backtracks and said Gregg did the work but Ngata finished. Gregg was on the LT, about 5 yards away from the play the entire time locked up.

3rd and 16, complete to Miller, back to the 20. FG team on. Pittsburgh wasn't even trying to complete a first down pass there.

Its good. 6-3 Steelers.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Okay, am I being dense, are offensive players allowed to block defenders in the back? I swear I saw a WR blocking a Ravens DB in the back on that first down run.

[Dade]

We can't let this game stay close. The offense has got to get a TD on the next possession.

BTW Ngata owns Mendenhall.

[Sephy]

Parmele breaks outside to the 23.

DAMN! Ngata just PLOWED through Mendenhall!

Definitely a mismatch!

They can if they engage on the front side first.

[StingerNLG]

Oh fucking come on!! This is UGLY!

And Cousins with the false start.

[Sephy]

1st from the 23, nice pickup by Rice on the blitz, pass for Mason sails OOB. Flacco had to throw off his back foot.
2nd and 10, PA, and Flacco throws to Rice's feet trying to evade the rush. Incomplete. Not a good start from Joe.
3rd, empty shotgun, Cousins false starts. He has such a ridiculous form, lol.
3rd and 15, give up draw to Rice only gets about 3 or 4. Punt team on.

[4G63]

I'm sorry but the playcalling is lacking IMO....

[Stumpy]

3rd and 15 and we run a dive... then a horrible punt...

[darb72]

Three and out is not what we needed right there. The bad kick did not help since the Squeelers get the ball at our 43.

[Dade]

Never fails. In big games the offense get off to these slow starts.

And a horrible punt by Koch great.

[4G63]

Why does Joe look like crap against the Stoolers?

[RavenScallywag]

Katula bad snap again...why didn't we bench him, his play has been ALL over the place!

[Sephy]

Koch muffs the punt to the Ravens 43. Just gross. Another bad snap by Katula, though.

Looking more and more like we will need help come next week.

1st, complete on the WR screen to Holmes for about 13. That ends the 1st quarter. Horrible play in all phases!!

[StingerNLG]

Something needs to change and QUICKLY. The Steelers are simply playing like they want it more right now.
