GAME THREAD - Ravens/Steelers

[Sephy]

Welcome to Steelerweek, officially! John Harbaugh fires a salvo saying the Ravens are going to become a dynasty. So much for keeping quiet. See you tonight! I can't guarantee full play by play, but I'll be here for sure.

GO RAVENS!! LETS CLAIM FIRST!!!! :ww: :jester: :jester: :jester:

[4G63]

Here we go Ravens, Here we Go!!

[HoustonRaven]

The Girlfriend and I are ready .....

Both have our jerseys on, the pizza is on the way and the beer is cold. Lets kick some Shittsburgh arse!!!!

[4G63]

Polamalu has his hair up.....gee, I wonder why he did that? :rolleyes:

:261695:

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Polamalu has his hair up.....gee, I wonder why he did that? :rolleyes:

:261695:

I thought he liked his hair pulled?:kissass:

:laugh:

I am ready..too bad I can not drink a beer because that would make it ohhh so much better!

[ladyraven127]

I just wanted to say before this game starts that I truely hate Pittspuke and hope they fall flat on their ugly faces. That's all. :thumbup:

Blech :celery

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

:ralph: :ralph:

:34853_lolpoint: The squeelers uniforms!!

Ray Ray said 3-0 now lets get out there and work on that!!:hammer:

[4G63]

Ray Lewis should become a Motivational Speaker when he retires....or a Defensive Coach for the Ravens!!!

[James R(aven)]

"Everytime we touch the football someone gets knocked out tonight"

Amen Ray!!!:ww:

[4G63]

I am so jacked up right now.....I feel like I could pick up a car!!!

:ww: :taz: :rocking:

[Sephy]

Ravens will get the ball first.

[Sephy]

Figurs nailed at the 17 by Timmons.

[4G63]

Lets go Joe!!

[PARavensJeff]

Let's go!!! Shouldn't Hank be banned from singing the opening song since he is a Stiller fan?

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Steeler player already down!
Knock your head off got to him!

[darb72]

Had a seam but couldn't get past that one hit

[4G63]

Nakamura with the big helmet-to-helmet hit! I bet that costs him some money!!

[Sephy]

I think Haruki killed a Steeler.

[darb72]

It's amazing that Figures ran twenty yards and not a single second came off the play-clock.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

It's amazing that Figures ran twenty yards and not a single second came off the play-clock.

LMAO he is just that fast!!

I was thinking the same thing!

[4G63]

I'm sure they'll correct that....

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

4 secs..they fixed it!

[PARavensJeff]

There's Ravens fans all over the world too asshole, even in the military. Imagine that

[darb72]

Ward is about to start crying already.

[4G63]

Well that took the wind out of my sails....I hope he turns out OK!!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I'll pray for him!
Back to the game!

[Sephy]

1st snap fumbled, fallen on. Ominous start.

[PARavensJeff]

ok now Joe should be ok

[4G63]

3 and out....come on guys!

[Sephy]

So. Not a good start offensively!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

3 in out.. ughhhh

Bring on RAY RAY & Company!

[darb72]

Dang it, did not need a three and out there. Flacco fumbles, McGhee gets nothing and incomplete by Flacco to Mason.

[4G63]

Illegal block in the back...

[Sephy]

Holmes down at the 45, but a block in the back, I could see it.

[PARavensJeff]

That didn't start out good, I expected it to start better

[4G63]

I'd like to see 2 sacks!!

[Sephy]

Mendenhall no gain on his first carry.

[PARavensJeff]

OK, we need a turnover

[4G63]

God those Steeler Uni's are UGLY!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Bart Scott brought his hot sauce!!

[PARavensJeff]

time to blitz

[Sephy]

Holmes gets a first, wide open, illegal contact called.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

WOW Ray..wth?

[darb72]

Dang it all defense. Drill that toothless hilljack.

[Sephy]

Fabian fell down on the coverage.
Great play by Scott on the pass.

[PARavensJeff]

Nice play Bart

[4G63]

Good block Bart!

[PARavensJeff]

Right up the middle for 8

[Sephy]

Big gain of 8 by Mendenhall on the draw.

[PARavensJeff]

wtf was that crap

[4G63]

Come on D....why lose a penalty with BS talking! Barnes!!! WTF!!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

3 flags good lord!

[darb72]

You can't slap them in the head DURING the play. Probably not a good idea to do it after the darn whistle blows.

[PARavensJeff]

instead of 3rd & 7 it's 3rd & 2 still

[Sephy]

Complete to Washington inside the 30. Ugh. Need to either cover better or get to the QB faster.

[4G63]

Their line is doing well...

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I am starting to get pissed!!

[4G63]

God, I could have ran through that hole....

[Sephy]

Ngata nails Mendenhall for a 2-3 yard loss.

[RavenScallywag]

de-pressing :(

Please guys, turn this around!

[Sephy]

Mendenhall cuts back for about 5.
Stop them on 3rd, D!!

[PARavensJeff]

They look like they figured out their OL problems

[4G63]

The Steelers are max-protecting Ben, and waiting for the WR's to clear...

[darb72]

Ok D, we need a turn-over here. Sack Ben and make him fumble!

[darb72]

Don't Hit Anybody!!!

[4G63]

Sweet....false starts!

[PARavensJeff]

3rd & long, now it's time to t off on Ben

[4G63]

Big SACK!!!!!

[Sephy]

SACK behind the 30!!! Corey Ivy and Sizzle!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

YAYYY! We needed that!

[PARavensJeff]

That's what I'm talking about

[RavenScallywag]

Ivy, Way To Go Dude!

[Sephy]

Reed's kick is perfect, 3-0 Steelers

[4G63]

Reed with the 3pt kick....

[darb72]

Good job D. I was just about to suggest a CB blitz so that worked out.

On a side note, it's amazing how easy it is to be a defensive coordinator with talent on that side of the ball like the Raven's have.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Thank god we held them to 3...

[RavenScallywag]

Ok, we're down 3...use that as inspiration and let's get it together on offense!

[darb72]

That is probably my favorite commercial right now. That chicken is gonna whup on someone.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Why not take a knee Yamon?

[darb72]

Ok, Figurs stop running out of the endzone. It isn't working quite as well as you would think.

[4G63]

Come on O, lets get something going!

[4G63]

Come on DWill, make that catch!!!

[darb72]

Love the play call there. Just make it a bit quicker Joe.

[UKRavenGordon]

Close to a BIG play

[RavenScallywag]

is McGahee stumbling in his runs? It seems like he stumbles without getting hit.

[4G63]

At least he didn't fumble....

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Ok I think I am turning the game off now!

[RavenScallywag]

man, get ready for a LOOOONGGG game :(

[Sephy]

Holy shit Adam Terry sucks. He totally got killed by Harrison there.

[PARavensJeff]

Well, this is not going according to plan

[UKRavenGordon]

Anyone having flashbacks of last season? lol

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Dude...WTF Terry?

[HoustonRaven]

Long night if this keeps up ....

[RavensInBrazil]

My god, Terry bit on the fake by Harrison HARD there. Why wasn't Gaither at LT?

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Why is Terry even over there at LT?

[RavenScallywag]

at least our D isn't giving up much yet...we knew this was going to be a game of Defenses...we just need to run it better!

[PARavensJeff]

Heap had no 1 to block, should have put him on the left side

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I am missing Prison break for THIS??? WTF?

[RavenScallywag]

NGATA NGATA NGATA....that's how we do better this game!

[Sephy]

Ben throws it RIGHT to Ngata! Pick! Holy crap! What a bad throw.

[RavensInBrazil]

Now THAT's what we needed!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

hahaha see all we need to do is get pissed and it turns the game around!

[PARavensJeff]

Yea Ngata, I thought he was going to drop it

[darb72]

INT by the big man! Way to go Nagta

[Sephy]

lmao at how bad that throw was.

[PARavensJeff]

Now Joe should be relaxed, he has good field position

[PARavensJeff]

lmao at how bad that throw was.

Bg Jen was even laughing, what did he drop back in zone coverage?

[Sephy]

Steelers getting ridiculous penetration, stopping Willis for a 1 yard loss.

[James R(aven)]

Interception!!!!

[4G63]

Looks like they want Flacco to beat us!

[4G63]

Come on Heap....

edit: Heap wasn't holding...

[RavensInBrazil]

Wtf?

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

The feild looks wet everyone is sliding!

[PARavensJeff]

They're daring Flacco to beat them

[RavenScallywag]

iffy holding call...

[PARavensJeff]

-6 yards so far

[4G63]

Good throw Flacco...that shut them up!

[Sephy]

Nice throw from the rook to make it a manageable 3rd down.

[RavenScallywag]

ok, there's a completion...let's see more of that!

[darb72]

Good throw by Flacco. Now it's gonna be a TD pass!

[4G63]

Good throw to DWill!!

[RavenScallywag]

SCARY pass completion...very close to getting pick 6

[Sephy]

Kid has a GUN, son!

[RavenScallywag]

way to throw it away in pressure!

[darb72]

Good Lord what a cannon. When you throw it twenty yards, at least, while not even standing?

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

If they miss say Flacco one more time I am going to scream!

[Sephy]

Willis build up a head of steam and then got stung. Gain of about 3 or 4.

[4G63]

McGahee for 5yds....

[Sephy]

Complete to Mason inside the red zone!

[RavenScallywag]

GO GO FLACCO! Mason catch, 1st down

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Nice catch by mason!

[darb72]

Another great throw by Flacco. And it looks like Weird Al's hair is out again. (Yeah, that part of the video cracked me up)

[4G63]

I want Joe to get a TD here!!! Take the shot!

[PARavensJeff]

Nice throw Joe

[RavenScallywag]

ALMOST 1st TD....just outside

[4G63]

Damn...just outside!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Get them feet down Mason!

[RavensInBrazil]

Wtf that's a TD!!!

[darb72]

Review That!!!

[RavenScallywag]

Bad throw...Timmons was in front of that receiver...

oh well, here comes Stover

[Sephy]

Flacco needs to stop locking on to his man, he's gonna get one of those picked. Come on Stove top!

[4G63]

Man...it looked like Mason was in!?!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

He did not have control of the ball! Dragged his toes but caught the ball from the back!

[RavenScallywag]

yeah, he dragged two feet...bad call

is it bad I held my breath on that kick? Stover just hasn't been as good this year.

[4G63]

Good possession O...lets build on this!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

3-3 I can deal with that for now!

[UKRavenGordon]

Loving Joe Flacco!

[camdenyard]

I think that was a TD...can't believe it was not reviewed.

[PARavensJeff]

It looked like a completion to me

[Sephy]

3-3 game. We're in this.

[RavensInBrazil]

I guess by the time he had possession his feet were out of bounds, but I think that merited a review at least...

[RavenDavey]

Tony Kornhole needs to SHUT UP!!!!!

[UKRavenGordon]

The last drive there showed a lot about Flacco, this kid is gonna take us places in the future.

[RavenDavey]

Time to unleash the KILLER D!!!

Not a bad first quarter and Flacco is looking calm and cool

[4G63]

I guess by the time he had possession his feet were out of bounds, but I think that merited a review at least...

I was watching his feet too...maybe he was juggling it?

[pyite32]

That WAS a TD. He never bobbled and put it away on the way down.

[Brandon]

Has anyone seen Lorenzo Neal tonight? I would like to know why he isn't in there blocking more

[Sephy]

Ben almost sacked again.

[4G63]

Almost another sack...damn!

[RavenScallywag]

Good pressure on Big Ben...if we can keep our D this tough and keep our O in the rhythm of the last drive, we've got a game here

[darb72]

The defense is getting after Big Ben. Let's force another turn-over here guys.

[Sephy]

3 and out! Lets go O!!

[4G63]

4th&8...good job D!!

[UKRavenGordon]

It wasn't a TD, he didnt have possesion until his feet were out of bou.....DAMN IT FIGURS!!!!

[Sephy]

Figurs drops the ball but gets it back. Flag down on someone.

[darb72]

Holy crap Figurs. Just catch a darn kick pretty please.

[4G63]

WTF...why can't we stop having bonehead plays!?!?

[Brandon]

Also, I sure hope we see some Willie Anderson in there tonight help on some blocking. That Harrison dude always seems to play well against us ever since we cut him years ago

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

God damn it these flags!

[RavensInBrazil]

That's the second time I see Ayabandejo trying a little too hard...

[camdenyard]

Figurs and these stupid penalties are KILLING us!

[RavenScallywag]

the stupid penalties are going to cause Harbaugh to go stir crazy on some of these guys...we can't keep taking these personal foul penalties.

[pyite32]

I guess the discipline problems were not just because of Billick

[RavenScallywag]

I can understand, heat of the moment, you get into it...but you have to keep a cool head.

at least no one has thrown a flag in the stands yet...

[darb72]

It's the first time we've seen them all year. This is an emotional game, but we need to play under control.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

I can understand, heat of the moment, you get into it...but you have to keep a cool head.

at least no one has thrown a flag in the stands yet...

Don't curse us!

[Sephy]

McGahee certainly isn't getting much today.

[RavenScallywag]

woah, Harrison is out!!!! On the sideline shaken up

[RavenScallywag]

plugh...would've been better to throw it out of bounds...we lost a yard on that dump off.

[RavenScallywag]

Whew, nice pass to McGahee over the middle...way to convert!

[4G63]

Wow...awesome pass by Flacco!!

[PARavensJeff]

1st down

[Sephy]

Nice play, Flacco! Great throw.

[darb72]

I'm just glad I'm not a fan of the Raiders. That team is a running joke from the owner on down.

[Sephy]

Floated that deep ball a bit. Mason was open, needs to be thrown faster.

[4G63]

Joe should have thrown that harder!!

[RavenScallywag]

these deep throws are nice...until you see the two Defenders on the WR...don't take those shots

[PARavensJeff]

Getting too much air under them passes, he needs to throw on a rope & it's a TD

[RavenScallywag]

ummm, what the hell was that play....run to the sideline and throw it away?

Did we not get the setup for something else?

[UKRavenGordon]

McGahee is annoying me tonight, no burst and he just looks lazy

[Sephy]

Koch is BOOMING punts tonight.

[RavenScallywag]

WOAH, SUPERB punt coverage by Zbi! loss of 3!

[4G63]

Good punt!!! 60+ yds

[darb72]

Net of 60 yards on the punt, the Squeelers take over around their own six.

[Brandon]

Does Mark Clayton still play for the RAVENS? I haven't seen him all night. </sarcasm>

[Sephy]

McGahee is annoying me tonight, no burst and he just looks lazy

He isn't getting any help. He hasn't had a single hole, and that screen was a disaster.

[camdenyard]

We need to get something going in the run game or we are not going to win this game.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Now we need the D to get another turn over! Get Ben on his back!

[4G63]

Time to unleash the blitz!

[PARavensJeff]

Willis isn't right tonight, get McClain in there to run over these guys

[darb72]

Just keep running it like that and the holes are gonna be there. Remember, the Squeelers are missing two of their starting defensive linemen.

[camdenyard]

No shit about Clayton.

And I'm sooo glad that we have that wonderful pass-catching TE. Is he playing?

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Willis isn't right tonight, get McClain in there to run over these guys


Probably can't see concidering his eyes were gauged out of his head last week!

[PARavensJeff]

JJ just swallowed him up, nice play!!!

[PARavensJeff]

3rd & long

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Rushing does not seem to be working in this game.. on either sides of the ball!

[Sephy]

Blitz comes hard, lucky to get it off. Nice tackle by Fabian to prevent a first.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Nice way to get in Ben's face.. I can not beleive he got it out of his hands!! But nice play by Fabian!

[darb72]

Nearly got him. Full house blitz and he gets the pass off for a short completion. We're hitting him though and he's starting to hear the footsteps.

[RavenScallywag]

Leonhard returning the punts now

[Sephy]

Well, Yamon caught that one. We're at midfield - COME ON OFFENSE!

[4G63]

Great field position...lets make it count!

[PARavensJeff]

Nice, the defense is on it's game tonight

[Brandon]

I really thought we would see Lorenzo Neal and McClain a lot more tonight than we already have.

There needs to be an APB out for Mark Clayton. I haven't seen him at all tonight. At least Todd Heap is blocking, but it would be nice to see him get some more catches.

[RavenScallywag]

nevermind...looked like it was Leonhard, guess I was wrong

[4G63]

I'm getting sick of that Steelers NFL commercial...

[RavenScallywag]

I don't blame Flacco for not throwing to Heap, he needs to earn the trust back after his rusty games

[Sephy]

Willis finally gets a hole and goes for 6.

[darb72]

Now we see that defensive line starting to get a little worn down. Nice 6-7 yard run by McGhee.

[Sephy]

Willis gets a HUGE hole and goes inside the 35!

[PARavensJeff]

2 nice runs in a row

[RavenScallywag]

see, NOW we're seeing the holes!

Let's get that offensive rhythm!

[Brandon]

Wow, finally two nice runs.

[4G63]

Good run McGahee....lets keep this up boys!!

[UKRavenGordon]

Ok, I get the point about#23, he's done well the past two plays

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

3 runs and he is getting some yards.. Steelers D is getting tired!

[4G63]

I love how quiet it is there...

[Sephy]

McClain's first carry is strong. 3rd and short coming up.

[RavenScallywag]

there's McClain for 3! so 3rd and 4...that's a manageable down

[Brandon]

Keep runnin Willis'

[RavenScallywag]

Awesome...we force Pitt to take a TO on D!!!!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Taking Time-outs.. they need waterrrrrrrrrrr LOL

[4G63]

TO Pissburgh....must have seen something they didn't like?

[PARavensJeff]

TO Pitts? WTF, they were bringing the house

[Brandon]

Hopefully, McClain can get in there some more and begin to wear them down at least.

[Sephy]

First down! LETS GET A TD!

[RavenScallywag]

Screen....McGahee....1st down!

[4G63]

First down McGahee on a screen...

[PARavensJeff]

1st down, nice play

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

1st down..do it again..move that ball!

[darb72]

Decent screen pass for the first down. Ball on the 25 or so.

[Brandon]

Move Those Chains!!!!!

[Sephy]

Willis is really knifing through the D now. And he is slow getting up.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Rut rohhh Willis is banged up!

[PARavensJeff]

Willis is down

[RavenScallywag]

damn, we need him healthy!

[Brandon]

Well, time for Le'ron!

[4G63]

Knocked the wind out of him is my guess....

[darb72]

McGhee is down. I don't think it's serious, but we have a fresh Ray Rice and McClain so let's punch it in O!

[4G63]

Nice stiffarm Mason!!
