GAME THREAD - Ravens/Steelers

[hatepaste]

12 on the field???? Stupid STUPID penalty

Yah I hate these penalities...They should NEVER happen

[RavenScallywag]

at least result is the same...but if it was a closer 4th down, that would WRECK us

[StingerNLG]

ok. Wifey is giving me the evil "Why aren't you watching this with me" eye. I'll be back in a while.

[Brandon]

Okay, Le'Ron, it's time to run and pound the ball down their throats and burn the clock down

[RavenScallywag]

McGahee back in, but he looks like he's hesitant...

Sit him, let him rest!

[PARavensJeff]

WTF, what is Willis doing back on the field

[Sephy]

It is deathly quiet at that stadium.

[PARavensJeff]

Did I see Squeeler fans leaving

[RavenScallywag]

incomplete, but they had the drop on him on the right side, i was panicking

[4G63]

We need to run and/or playaction and take time off the clock...

[hatepaste]

Love the play call...Looked like Clayton stopped running too early...

[RavenScallywag]

he's missed on most of his deep throws, but I love that he's putting them in a safe place, where the DB can't get it.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I am taking a small prego snack break LOL

[Brandon]

So much for running the ball

[pyite32]

Crap a shank by Koch...

[4G63]

Bad kick by Koch....around the 35yd line

[Sephy]

Bad punt. Need a nice D stand again here.

[HoustonRaven]

Im worried again ....

We're a big play away from being in trouble.

D needs to really step it up.

[PARavensJeff]

Why are we winging the ball? Run the clock!!! 26 passes/19 runs so far

[RavensInBrazil]

Shanked that one :/ But still Koch has been amazing thus far this season

[hatepaste]

Why are we winging the ball? Run the clock!!! 26 passes/19 runs so far

We beat the Chargers a couple years ago because they started running the ball exclusively in the 3rd quarter...

[highwater]

Bad punt, but Koch overall has been stellar tonight, much better than the Steelers punter.

[Lee Van Cleef]

We can't give it up now. This is why we need another sustained drive.

[RavensInBrazil]

Bonehead!!!

[PARavensJeff]

That was stupid come on JJ

[RavenScallywag]

Damn it, STOP MAKING STUPID PENALTIES

[Sephy]

God damnit, Johnson. This is not the time to do that shit!

[UKRavenGordon]

FFS Jarrett

[pyite32]

shit, Johnson just cost us 15. God Damn these guys are F-ing Dumb.

[HoustonRaven]

this is NOT what we need right now .... we need smart players

[4G63]

Come on Jarrett Johnson.....Hines does that shit all the time, gets under our guys' skin easily!!

[PARavensJeff]

4 personal fouls so far

[Lee Van Cleef]

God's sake, just clean Ward's clock in the play, stop biting on his baits.

[PARavensJeff]

We beat the Chargers a couple years ago because they started running the ball exclusively in the 3rd quarter...

I'm not saying Marty ball, but mix it up better. 26 passes to 19 rushes is not the split I think we should have

[RavenScallywag]

and there it is :(

No! No! No!

[PARavensJeff]

Just let them back in the game & the crowd too

JJ's penalty was really stupid

[Sephy]

FUCK.

[Lee Van Cleef]

This is exactly why you have to stay disciplined. Damn it!

[HoustonRaven]

JJ gave them 7

[4G63]

Damn....come on guys!!! That penalty really screwed us!!

[Brandon]

Okay, not good!

[pyite32]

And there it is. Bonehead Punt, Bonehead Penalty, our D still can't play against the no huddle.

CRAP

[darb72]

Dang it all. Ok Offense, let's get those points back.

[RavenDavey]

tWO PLAYERS HOLDING TREVOR PRICE AND THEY DON'T CALL IT!!!

[festivus]

Washington wasn't even close to that ball. Should have been going for the man. . .

[RavenScallywag]

ok, now we need to recover...move the ball well on Offense and TAKE TIME off the clock.

D, get your head back in the game and shut them down again.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

God damn it!! JJ needs to get his ass kicked! That just cost us 7!

[UKRavenGordon]

Time for the O to step up again.

[4G63]

If we lose this game, that penalty by JJ would be the catalyst!

[Bez513]

Where was the hold call on Pryce? Horrible miss.

[HoustonRaven]

If we lose, JJ is going to have some heavy shoulders tomorrow

[RavensInBrazil]

If I were Harbaugh I'd be chewing JJ all night long! How the *#&^$*%(& does a PRO do something like that??

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

#52 is on the sideline chewing someone ass right now...

[PARavensJeff]

We need a drive here to take the pressure off, they will be coming hard, they can feel the momentum shifting

[Merlin]

Clearly the defense never got the message about not losing their cool.
There's a fine line between aggressiveness and stupidity

[Brandon]

Time to re-focus and keep the defense off the field

[RavenScallywag]

better return by Figurs at least

Nice to see Harbs chewing out JJ

[HoustonRaven]

Harbs giving JJ shit .... NICE!

[PARavensJeff]

Harbs in JJ's earhole

[RavenScallywag]

oh god, what is happening?

[Sephy]

oh...my...god

[4G63]

You have got to be shitting me!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Omg Are You Serious?

[pyite32]

Fuck... Ballgame!!

[darb72]

Dang it! Flacco fumbles and the Squeelers are now in the lead.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Marvelous. F-ing marvelous.

[UKRavenGordon]

Momentum.....

[PARavensJeff]

Damn, Shit, Fuck

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Holy fucking shit!

[Brandon]

What the hell just happened!

Now, the momentum has shifted!

WTG, Jarrett.

[Merlin]

we need to focus and get our act together
the game is NOT over

[RavenScallywag]

fuck me, I had to say something...I had to say I was excited...

damn it all

[4G63]

Thanks Jarrett!

[RavenScallywag]

dare I even ask, can we come back from this?

[darb72]

Ok, we still have 18 minutes left. We were dominating them for a whole half so we just need to get back to what we were doing so well.

[pyite32]

They are about to completely fall apart.

Mother Fuckers

[camdenyard]

Jarrett didn't fumble the ball. Get over it.

[RavenScallywag]

now they're toying with us...Squib kick returned for maybe 1

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I would love to shove that towel up BENS ASS!

[RavenScallywag]

hahaha, so NOW we run it?

[4G63]

Jarrett didn't fumble the ball. Get over it.

Yeah, but it was the key point!!

[PARavensJeff]

OK, relax & refocus. Everyone take a deep breath

[darb72]

Harbaugh needs to get them together and calm the team down. Defining moment in the young careers of Flacco and Harbaugh.

[RavenScallywag]

Torn...

I can't believe that meltdown, but we did hang in there for the first half...win or lose, we played this game tough. Let;s at least finish the game tough

[UKRavenGordon]

Can somone F'N block Harrison.

[pyite32]

it's over

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Is this crowd the same crowd that was booing their team 10 mins ago...this is why I HATE STEELERS FANS!!

[RavenScallywag]

yup, momentum shifted...we're done

Flacco, congrats on the first TD...you still have work to do

[4G63]

Jesus guys, can we get some blocking!!

[darb72]

Ok, someone tell the offensive line that they're not as bad as they used to be. This is ugly.

[PARavensJeff]

I just can't believe what is happening

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

b*tch ass inbreed a$$hole...I am done for the night! I am getting way too pissed to sit here any longer!

[4G63]

Alright D, can we get them 3 and out?!?

[RavenScallywag]

nice heads up by Yanda to jump on the ball

[4G63]

Come on guys, lets settle down.....we're still in this game!

[darb72]

We're only down by four. The defense can shift the momentum right back to us. Now it's second and long. Get Ben in your sights and nail that piece of crap.

[PARavensJeff]

No huddle crap

[4G63]

3rd and 8, lets hold 'em!

[RavenScallywag]

start with some D control, then work the O back in it
The D held, so that's a start!

[PARavensJeff]

4th down

[4G63]

Godd job guys...O gets the ball back! Lets get some good runs!!

[darb72]

Good job Defense. Now we start at our own eight, but we can deal with that. Just play smart offense like we saw in the first half.

[RavenScallywag]

Flacco, earn your stripes, get us that 4th Quarter comeback!

[PARavensJeff]

ok, nice play call, 6 yards on 1st, let's take control back of the game

[4G63]

We're still in this...Cam had the O on the sideline in a huddle and I'm sure he calmed them down...

[RavenScallywag]

hey, I saw a shove on our OL!!!! Call that shit

[PARavensJeff]

3rd & 2, let's get the 1st down now

[darb72]

Well that wasn't quite the long offensive drive I was wanting to see.

[4G63]

Shit...another 3 and out!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

They throw for 2 yrds? COME ON

[PARavensJeff]

That was an easy 1st down damn Foote

[RavenScallywag]

we can't let the Steelers eat up clock. If we do, we might as well go home now

[PARavensJeff]

Need 3 & out

[4G63]

Plan on seeing alot of playaction from the Steelers

[PARavensJeff]

another TV timeout, good grief

[RavenScallywag]

Barnes was hurt on that return...the hits just keep on coming

[pyite32]

The first two games were an illusion. First bit of controversy and we fall apart.

[darb72]

How many offsetting penalties can you have in a game. Isn't there some sort of limit?

[4G63]

Lets go D...

[RavenScallywag]

This was one of our toughest matchups, and we're not falling apart like we did last year.

Yeah, we're struggling now...but there's still hope and there's still pride

[Merlin]

One turnover and momentum would shift

[4G63]

Lets stay positive here, guys! There is time for us to come back and who knows, maybe Benny boy throws a pick-6!!

[pyite32]

One of our toughest match ups?

We still have to play the entire NFC East, not to mention Jax, Tenn, and Indy...

[RavensInBrazil]

Hey I'm not worried yet, the bright side of losing to the Steelers is that we would still get no respect from the media, and we play best when we fly under the radar

[RavenScallywag]

yes, but playing the Steelers, our toughest divisional foe, at home, on Monday night?

This was a written off loss at the start of the season

[4G63]

Why can we never bring him down?!?

[RavenScallywag]

ok, I take back everything I said about pride on D.

what the hell was THAT?

[darb72]

Ok, explain how the heck that happened. 49 yard completion.

[pyite32]

Nice coverage... no one.

Our players look beaten on the sideline.

[RavensInBrazil]

Why was the dude UNCOVERED?

[StingerNLG]

What the fuck is going on?????

[RavenScallywag]

if you needed one thing to laugh about...

Big Ben's face when he learned they called a TO.

He was like "You have to be F-in kidding me!!!!"

[4G63]

I have to say that if they get a TD here, its pretty much over....FUCK!!!!

[pyite32]

If this was written off as a loss you might as well write off
Wash
Dal
Phi
NYG
Tenn
Jax
Indy
and Pitt one more time

[darb72]

It's not over until that healthy chick we've all drunkenly slept with starts warming up the vocal chords.

[pyite32]

I can't believe I have to go into work tomorrow and listen to all the Redskin's fans' bullshit.

[RavenScallywag]

If this was written off as a loss you might as well write off
Wash
Dal
Phi
NYG
Tenn
Jax
Indy
and Pitt one more time

Can't write off Was...they're playing well, but I just can't see them beating us

Dal, Phi, and NYG maybe

Tenn and Jax could be interesting

Indy is playing like S

and I think we could change our fortunes with Steelers at home.

[4G63]

Lets get a PICK!!

[darb72]

I can't believe I have to go into work tomorrow and listen to all the Redskin's fans' bullshit.

That's the great thing about my job. None of the eggheads around me know anything about football.:thumbup:

[4G63]

Holding!! Come on refs!!

[RavenScallywag]

the penalties, that is what is killing us....

Harbs, gobble these players up this week...You can't be this stupid.

[StingerNLG]

And our defense continues to meltdown. Unbelievable.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I am about to cry...this god damn game has me so mad right now! And I have to go face shittsburg fans at work in the morning!

[4G63]

Lets go D, hold 'em to 3!!

[darb72]

Third and goal from the one. Big goal-line stand here D.

[RavenScallywag]

stuffed on 3rd and goal...will they go for it?

Nope, FG...still a 7 point game

It's hope...we may not do anything, but it's still hope

[darb72]

Whew. He doesn't get it. I think they're going for the FG and we have a one posession game.

[muleycrazy]

nice hold!

[4G63]

4th & Goal....way to hold 'em to 3!!

[UKRavenGordon]

Good hold

[PARavensJeff]

I don't want to listen to my neighbors the Redskins & Squeelers fans boast. I want to rub it in there face

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

9 mins to get 7+ points.. I think it is bed time!

[StingerNLG]

Ok. They are going to go for the FG. We are STILL in this game, only down a touchdown.

The offensive line needs to step back up and we need to move downfield.

[PARavensJeff]

Can't have 3 & out now, need to go, like no huddle

[4G63]

Alright O, lets make this comeback!!!

[darb72]

Well at least Figurs finally got it out past the twenty after taking it in the end-zone.

[RavenScallywag]

again, I don't care if the score ends 20-13...

There's plenty to like...

No blowout
We hung in there, didn't give up
Flacco looked good, except for "The Meltdown"...first road game wasn't a total washout like Ryan

you never "like" a loss, but I certainly can be proud of a tough fought game

[4G63]

There we go....lets keep this up!!

[darb72]

First down completion to the forty. Let's get this done offense.

[PARavensJeff]

Heap & Clayton = 0 catches

[RavenScallywag]

nice job McClain! way to grind out the 1st

[4G63]

Good run McClain!!

[RavenScallywag]

gd it, every time I see Harrison coming untouched, I seriously WINCE

[4G63]

Good catch for Mason...another 1st down!!

[darb72]

Another first down by McClain. He runs right over Weird Al.

Then another first down complete from Flacco to D. Mason.

[Brandon]

I am about done with Mark Clayton. Hasn't shown up all season except the reverse play.

[pyite32]

Kornholer just admitted he is cheering against us

[4G63]

Shit...a sack

[RavenScallywag]

damn, Flacco is STILL trying to make something happen when the pocket collapses..

It's OK TO THROW AWAY!

[PARavensJeff]

Gaither looks like shit....

[RavenScallywag]

I <3 Mason
So does Flacco

[4G63]

1st and GOAL!!! Good Run after catch Mason!!!

[darb72]

First and goal for Baltimore. Third and long complete from Flacco to Mason.

[Brandon]

Did any of these veteran players mention to Harbaugh and Cameron about James Harrison and how he always plays well against us.

[Merlin]

go flacco!

[RavenScallywag]

dont worry guys, we'll do something to screw it up

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Run the damn ball in for a TD!

[StingerNLG]

Not from in the pocket you can't. Where did the offensive line go this half????


GREAT THROW by Flacco!! He is NOT giving up.

[darb72]

Three yard run up the middle by McClain for three yards. Second and goal from the two.

[UKRavenGordon]

Raise a glass to this offense tonight. Rookie QB, on the road. Damn good performance whatever the final result.

[4G63]

Lets pound it in!!!

[RavenScallywag]

YES, PESSIMISM worked!
Say what you will, we are FIGHTING for this win

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Thank GOD!!! They must have heard me screaming at my damn TV!

[PARavensJeff]

TD McClain

[darb72]

TD by McClain. He runs over yet another Squeeler on his way to the TD.

[pyite32]

Shit come on D, too much time left...

[4G63]

Good Run McClain!!!! Power FOOTBALL!!!

[StingerNLG]

TOUCHDOWN RAVENS!!!!! This game is NOT OVER YET!!!!

[Brandon]

Thank god! Now don't screw it up.

[Sephy]

yesssssssssssssss

[RavenScallywag]

D, hold and DON'T PLAY STUPID!

No Penalties, no blown coverages!

[Merlin]

McClain is a stud -- how many people has he run over in the fourth quarter in the last 3 games?

[4G63]

We're back in this boys and girls!!! Lets finish what we started!!!

[PARavensJeff]

OK, now our D needs to come up big.....Mo has swung back our way

[darb72]

Ladies and gentlemen. Or rather, Ladies and bunch of drunken louts, we have us a ball game. Go wake up those people who've gone to bed.

[RavensInBrazil]

Flacco is AMAZING on 3rd down. This guy is my hero

[RavenScallywag]

part of me thinks I should go to sleep with a tie...that way I won't have a heart attack during the next few drives.

But I CAN'T turn this off now!

[Brandon]

Get Anquan Boldin here next year.

[4G63]

I've got to say I'm impressed with Flacco on that last drive....his passes were crisp and he looked very poised!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I might go into labor if we screw up one more time!

[pyite32]

This is where the no huddle kills us...

[PARavensJeff]

Can Kornhole shut his mouth up

[Ravenfan_11]

Hate to bust the party, but what in the world happened to Tood Heap and Clayton? Especially Heap?

[Brandon]

Jesus, McCalister came close to getting another flag

[darb72]

Just do what we did. C-Section! Heck, I even stopped on the way to the hospital to get a cup of coffee and a danish.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Hate to bust the party, but what in the world happened to Tood Heap and Clayton? Especially Heap?

I think a fat steelers chic ate them!

[RavenScallywag]

3rd and 3...we NEED this stop!

[StingerNLG]

And you know what, I'll say it right here and right now.

Kyle Boller would never have put a drive like that together to tie a game on the road like that. The offense would have folded.

Even if the Ravens lose tonight, Joe Flacco stepped up and tried to win this game. Yes, he needs to keep working on ball control. But for a guy that was supposed to be the 3rd string QB starting his first road game in hostile territory, he has looked better than expected.

Win or lose, Flacco is our QB.

[4G63]

Lets hold 'em here guys!!

[PARavensJeff]

Ed wasn't happy Bart called that time out

[Brandon]

Hate to bust the party, but what in the world happened to Tood Heap and Clayton? Especially Heap?

I think Heap is helping block, Clayton is nowhere to be found

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Just do what we did. C-Section! Heck, I even stopped on the way to the hospital to get a cup of coffee and a danish.

hahaha I have a planned c-section but I may not make it with the way the Ravens are playing!!

:261695:

[PARavensJeff]

shit

[pyite32]

shit shit shit

[4G63]

I saw that quick out coming...damn!!

[RavenScallywag]

aggh, 1st down...ok, attempt #2

[Brandon]

I think a fat steelers chic ate them!

Game thread post of the night:word

[PARavensJeff]

STFU Kornhole

[RavenScallywag]

don't let them in FG range!

[UKRavenGordon]

Both D's are getting tired

[pyite32]

Shit 20 f-ing yards and ... Ballgame.

[4G63]

2:00, lets keep them out of fieldgoal range....in fact, I'd take a nice fumble by Moore right now....

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Game thread post of the night:word

What do I win?:banana:

[Merlin]

Can our D hold them here? The game is in their hands

[pyite32]

Come on Turnover... Please....

[RavenScallywag]

Our D needs to step it up...Offense got them back in this game, what a change!

Now the D needs to PUT THIS GAME AWAY

[darb72]

hahaha I have a planned c-section but I may not make it with the way the Ravens are playing!!

:261695:

Let me know if you need a car seat or bouncy swing. Breean has already outgrown both of his and he turns three months next week.:grbac:

[pyite32]

I am never going to be able to sleep tonight

[StingerNLG]

I think Heap is helping block, Clayton is nowhere to be found

This is bothering me too. Mark Clayton has just never panned out as a big-time receiver for us. Tonight he has had no catches. D-Will has more catches than Clayton tonight.

We need another wide receiver that can get downfield.

Heap has been in on protection. You really can't fault him for that tonight.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

You know what amuses me.. in the pre game show they were talking mad shit about how Bal & Pissburg could not scroe 40 points togther...hmmm I guess they were wrong (like always)

[Brandon]

I have a feeling Hines Ward will try and get one of the RAVENS players to get a personal foul

[RavenScallywag]

i think my heart just stopped

[4G63]

3rd and 5....lets go boys!!

[pyite32]

Why are we giving worthlessberger so much time?

[PARavensJeff]

That was close

[Sephy]

YES! We will have a chance!

[4G63]

Yes...we get the ball back!!!

[UKRavenGordon]

Ray Fucking Lewis. Thats How You Lead!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Let me know if you need a car seat or bouncy swing. Breean has already outgrown both of his and he turns three months next week.:grbac:

What the hell is a bouncy swing?? HAHA You mean bouncy seat??

[Brandon]

Thank god! 4th down

[PARavensJeff]

Block the Punt

[RavenScallywag]

oh god, I love you Santonio Holmes!

Way to drop that surefire game winner

[darb72]

Ok, the defense held 'em. How many timeouts do we have left?

[StingerNLG]

Ray Lewis with a hand on the ball!

Ok, we need to get down to FG range and put this game away!!

[RavenScallywag]

if we win this game, I will make you a bouncy swing

[UKRavenGordon]

It's now 5am over here and I am buzzing with excitement, sleep is just not gonna happen lol.

[Brandon]

Please don't screw this up

[4G63]

Sweet, a 5yd penalty!!

[RavenScallywag]

i think we have 1 TO left...we used one earlier on Offense, and 1 just now on D

[Sephy]

From the 13- will they go for it?
