Ed Reed was too slow
getting over there to cover. It was an incomplete pass! Great challenge by Harbaugh!
Rexx
Holmes
Didn’t score two months ago either!

He was a solid guy for us too........
but your scheme is bringing out his true talent…..unlike the piss poor defense the bills run.

Big statement here
horrible spot. Shit! When you have a 260 pound RB and a 255 pound FB, why do THAT!
Rexx
oh man that was just gross........
12/19/08 - Thank you KLJ for coming into my life.

WTF!?
Horrible play. what was Ed Reed doing just watching him run? Plays like this will kill us.
Rexx
Why not
Why not take that TD away from Holmes too?
Not this time
and the last one WAS an incomplete pass and the one in December was a TD but should have NEVER been overturned.
Rexx
So much for the one score and back in it!
I want to call Roethlisberger lucky, but he always seems to do that, especially to us!
Rexx
He just threw it
He didnt know were he was throwing it but he just got luckly. mI hate to say it but this game could turn into a blow out
FEAR THE NEVERMORE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry Rexx....
but our offense cant even pick up a 1st let alone a touchdown.
FEAR THE NEVERMORE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky
+ 7. Unlucky -13. However you count it, the raisins have zero points and how many first downs?
Whatever it takes!
by SteelerInSeattle on Jan 18, 2009 7:44 PM EST up reply actions
Nothing going our way!
Regroup and get your act together guys. You’re better than that! Good time for a trick play.
Rexx
and thus begins the excuses
Whatever it takes!

nice play by Rice.......
how come he hasnt been more involved with the offense lately……

nice throw there
12/19/08 - Thank you KLJ for coming into my life.
by norcaliangelsfan on Jan 18, 2009 7:51 PM EST reply actions
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.
Rexx
Willis running it well. I was surprised that McClain didnt get the carry on that 3rd and 4th in one.
FEAR THE NEVERMORE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i'm high fiving my buddies. go figure
Whatever it takes!
by SteelerInSeattle on Jan 18, 2009 7:57 PM EST up reply actions
I think the D's gonna have to get a score of their own here.......
12/19/08 - Thank you KLJ for coming into my life.

or the special teams,
or the cheerleaders

See if McGahee always hit holes like that....he would be a top 5 Back in the NFL.....

Thats what got to me also
We couldnt move the ball for shit. Our D and SP gotta give us good field postion for us to be able to score.
FEAR THE NEVERMORE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do we play so far off
I know cory ivy batted it down but it seems like we always dive up those little 3rd and 4
FEAR THE NEVERMORE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any word on Runyan?
"Ask Philly was it hard tryin' a stop TO, he da main reason that the fans would come fo'."
13-7

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.
Rexx
agreed

Luck like that
might lead us to victory! Like how the classless Pittsburgh fans are booing him?
Rexx
yeah, we should cheer dropped passes. right

Seems fair
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.
End of half - whew!
We are so lucky and this could be a great motivation for us in the 2nd. Look for a new Open Thread for the 2nd half. Thanks for all the great posts!
Rexx
At the end of the half, Pittsburgh 13, Baltimore 7
and now you begin to understand a 6 point spread.
Whatever it takes!
by SteelerInSeattle on Jan 18, 2009 8:34 PM EST reply actions
Alright Baltimore
One More half and we get the ball. Got off the field with no points.
FEAR THE NEVERMORE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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
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.
Dawgs By Nature - Find out why Pittsburgh still sucks.
one of the worst calls I've ever seen.......
almost as bad as Hoculi

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.
