Holmes

Didn’t score two months ago either!

Good call by Harbaugh, but bad call by the refs. Since he made a move after catching and controlling the ball, it should have been ruled a catch.

Consider us lucky

just one score away from the lead

Not this time

Way too conservative playcalling

Wideouts not getting open, o-line not giving Flacco time. RB’s not gettingholes to run through. A score here would give us some confidence.

Willis running it well. I was surprised that McClain didnt get the carry on that 3rd and 4th in one.

If we put up a FG, that would set us up great

for the second half. No Frank Walker, but I’ll trade him any day for Hines Ward being out of the game.

Seems totally fair that the Steelers can’t spike the ball after time has expired. I can’t even remember a team being able to execute a play once the clock or play clock has expired.

One More half and we get the ball. Got off the field with no points.

by Benji5203 on Jan 18, 2009 8:35 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

my observations:
ray lewis is worthless on 3rd down (we need to give up the 3rd down blitz and get in coverage)
ray rice should be in the game
we need short passes in flats to TE’s and RB’s
Flacco needs a relief short-Heap non-existant

Ben is Lucky and so are we 13-7.

by raven on Jan 18, 2009 8:35 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Jim Leonard is our MVP so far

I'm with you on the Heap and the short pass

Flacco generally (but certainly not always) has time, but is not getting much to go to on his secondary receivers

by drj on Jan 18, 2009 8:39 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

What a long first half — a little over two hours. Too many foul calls, challenges, and injuries in that half to slow the game down. Hopefully the second half is a little more fast-paced in that respect.

Jim Leonhard is really, really good.

Willis Mcgahee is getting up slow/hurt after every run but, like the last game here, the coaches keep running him out there ahnd it will hurt us….Ray Rice must be a dope because he can’t get on the field.

Cam again goes for a QB sneak when our overloaded line works fine. he has 4 QB sneaks against the steelers this year. i think they know its coming.

Swing passes after drawing in the D will work for us -NEED RAY RICE.
