Ravens @ Steelers: 2nd Half 'Open Thread'

PrintHopefully, what you just saw at the end of the first half will not happen again. Defensive Coordinator Greg Mattison should know better than to blitz a corner, leaving Santonio Holmes uncovered, much less leave Frank Walker on single coverage without help. In order to come back and win this game, we need to shut down the run game and hope Ben gives one or two away to us. At the same time, we've got to stop giving up the ball when we have a chance to score.
Great stat, 0-5 for us when trailing at intermission. Ouch.

Ozzie screwed us by being unprepared at DB all year and DID NOTHING to fix it. Frank Walker has single handedly killed this team. The D-coord is an idiot who makes the same mistakes every big game. CAM is chicken shit in big games and thinks there is some magic to keeping the games close so we can ultimately get beat in the last 2 minutes. This time it’s over by 1/2.
No Troy P and we are playing patty-cake on offense. I would be stretching the hell out of the Pitt. D. kelly Washington and Heap disappeared after there big plays so Cam could get back to his Rice love affaire. I can’t stand this team. Big talker against the Lions. Friggin sheep against men.
can we trade up for eric berry and make him a corner?

These drives are what drives me crazy. We get a turnover and 'settle' for tying the game.
You can just tell they were settling for a field goal. Just ugh.
Can you imagine if Heap caught that.

Sitting on the edge of the sofa everyone!?
This one has all teh makings of a classic – once again! Willis didn’t need that block but I hope it doesn’t matter. Please Cam, enough of the lob to Heap. Once too many will get us burnt. What about Mase over the middle or even to D-Will!?
Rice is ripping them up and our defense is starting to get that pressure I spoke about. One more score then another turnover should do it. Way to control the clock.
NO MISTAKES RAVENS!!!

Mason dropped it WTF!!!!!!!

Fucking Refs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The key to success in life is doing what people constantly say you cannot do.
Can you say "IMPLOSION!?"
Classic horrible Ravens decisionmaking, clock management, play calling, receiving, penalty getting, losing your mind type of football. Two TD’s down the drain on a stupid hold and a piss poor catch miss. then Cousins, who gets in fights at Training Camp clocks a Steeler right in front of the head ref!? He should be cut from the team on that boneheaded play.
Flacco needs to know he should just throw it up to the goal line on that play as it’s 3rd and 30 and even an interception is okay at that point but you might get the PI call or the lucky catch!!!!!
aka 'Rexx'
Watch us throw an INT now.
Just wait.

The key to success in life is doing what people constantly say you cannot do.
Way too many penalties
Typical Ravens hurting themselves too much! Also, stop with the only rushing three or four, as we were very lucky with that pass to Mwelde Moore! Need a long drive without stupid conservative plays to eat up clock and get seven.
You just know f we keep Ben within a FG, he will do waht he always does, especially against us. So if it comes down to the last seconds, don’t be disappointed if we blow it.

Flacco still hasn't learned
to get RID of the ball! Plus Michael Oher got bull rushed back into his own QB by the other rookie, Hood on that sack!
These penalties are proof positive that we are just so undisciplined and it wasn’t just because of Billick, it is because we have too many “individuals” on our team.
Oh yeah, that was an inclomplete pass, not a fumble, as Mason never totally had control. Perhaps D-Will will take his place and catch the game winner!
aka 'Rexx'
Now we need a 5:30 minute TD drive.
Don’t be retarded Cam!
The key to success in life is doing what people constantly say you cannot do.
If you were Big Ben
Wouldn’t you throw the quick out to Holmes every time you see Foxworth on him? What has Holmes gotten 10+ yards EVERY time they had that matchup?
aka 'Rexx'
The Ravens are so predictable. They are not trying to win the game. The Ravens just want
to tie the game. And there’s the sack.
Conservative playcalling embarassing!
Playing for the tie on the road with a playoff spot on the line shows me Cam’s trye colors which are YELLOW! Throw the ball on second down- attack the defense! stop with the sissy runs and Flacco’s inabbility to get rid of the ball.
aka 'Rexx'
yep..cam plays to the other teams possession. he keeps it even against good teams and hopes fo a miracle at the end. the son of a bitch never learns.
Yup. afraid to play to win
has to play to tie. Pathetic that Harbs just allows that to happen over and over. Sorry Cam, good try the past two years, but to me it’s either you or Harbaugh, so Buh-bye!

You just knew this team is not ready to "steal" a win
Flacco’s so calm demeanor is a double edged sword and he takes way too long to make his reads and decisions. Cam’s decision to run up the middle on 2nd down caused us to be in an obvious passing down on third, allowing Steelers to pin their ears back and rush Flacco. On the fourth down play, Flacco only has to make sure he doesn’t get sacked even if it meant throwing the ball up. He did it earlir and still hasn’t learned. Just not a SB QB yet, and might never be.
aka 'Rexx'
probably not

See, I told you
if we let them hang around they’d win. Ben is able to do it, while Joe is just not. Ben does it regularly and Joe has, well, Joe has NEVER done it. NEVER. EVER. Blame it all you want on anyone else, our inability to win those close games at the end all season is more on Flacco’s droopy shoulders than anyone else.
aka 'Rexx'
And you make it sound as if he NEVER. EVER. will.
Give it a rest, Flacco didn’t get called for holding, he didn’t drop a TD pass, he didn’t blow our last shot with another penalty.
Problem has been coaching and discipline, flinging it when under pressure for a miracle won’t solve all our problem.
"We're only going to score 17 points?"
why do we play to tie or stay just behind? why do we run when we are killing them with the pass and green bay just came off a huge passing agme against them. we did them favors today. CAM SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!!! CAM only beats bad teams. Harbaugh is a wimp and has no control of his team!! He still can’t manage a clock and is a goofy grinning SOB!!! Is there an actual coach with balls out there!! Nothing but a bunch of crap players playing .500 ball and stealing fans money.
See Ben has the stones to throw it!
Zbi INT but you know a big penalty against us! Duh, gee what a surprise, never in doubt in my mind!
But you have to give the Steelers playcalling credit as they are not afraid to WIN the game. See that, Cam and Harbs!?
aka 'Rexx'

NO GAME PLAN. NO CLUE. The Ravens organization is just a bunch of collar up tanning salon wimps who are in awe of Ray Lewis’s 2000 season. Get rid of all the pussies.
The wide receiver wasn't even going deep. Charles Woodson gets away with murder and the Ravens
can’t get away with a touch.

When the game is on the line...
Why do the refs feel that it’s necessary to take the game into their hands. They need to shove those yellow hankies up their asses. Besides personal fouls you don’t call ticky tacky calls like illegal contact.

the refs make sure that the Steelers can make it into the playoffs. If it’s not the Patriots, it’s the Colts. And if it’s not the Colts it’s the Squealers.

This is Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu getting knocked around by the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii yesterday...
Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.

Great game Ravens fans.
Again, the Steelers Ravens game lives up to the hype.
Too bad about the penalties, but those were good calls today, on both sides. They were all pretty blatant.
Maybe the winds of fortune have decided to favor us again. Just in time for the playoffs.
Uhhh, they were.
No one over here complained, and not all my friends are Steelers fans. The general consensus was the Ravens were imploding, not that the refs were screwing them.
Maybe the winds of fortune have decided to favor us again. Just in time for the playoffs.
they did some imploding, yes
They should have won despite the calls but they screwed themselves out of that, no doubt.
All the same, there were non-calls on the Steelers that get called on the Ravens 9 times out of 10, and there was definitely some well applied acting from the Steelers.
GO AWAY STEELER QUEERS
you get all the calls and it’s obvious..so go hump each other and gather your road side coal.
Well, I'm pigeonholed!
