GAME THREAD - Ravens/Steelers

[Lee Van Cleef]

We need a TD on this drive. A FG at the very least.

[darb72]

Heck, just throw a crossing route to Clayton for the first and let him break a tackle. He runs into the endzone, Ravens win and I'm prove yet again to be brilliant.

[TBOERaven16]

Huge 3rd down here..

[StingerNLG]

Man we need a first down here bad. I don't trust Stover this far back.

Give Flacco this. When we need a big throw from him, he will give you one. And other than the early pick, he's been smart with the ball.

[darb72]

Damn it all. Ok new plan, punt the ball inside the one.

[Sephy]

3rd and 7, Flacco fumbles, McGahee gets the ball. Out of FG range. Bad block by Willis. Lucky Ravens.

[Stumpy]

Way to go Willis... Fall on the ball... At least we still have the ball.

[Sephy]

Ball downed at the 7-8.

[TTRaven]

Fucking McGahee barely gets a fingernail on the defender.

[TBOERaven16]

It was a bad block but at least he didnt give up on the play

[Sephy]

1st, caught by Ward, gain of 12. Flag down. Illegal contact.

[Lee Van Cleef]

They're taking advantage of the quick stuff.

[Sephy]

1st, blitz comes, complete to Ward who goes for 13. GODDAMNIT.

Now Suggs is hurt.

[darb72]

Maybe now would be a good time to go ahead and cover Ward? Just a suggestion that I think would help us in the long run.

[Stumpy]

Defense Defense Defense.

[Sephy]

1st, incomplete for Nate. Walker defends well. Fabian is out for some reason. He's not even in pads anymore.
2nd, incomplete for Holmes.
3rd and 10, Reed FALLS DOWN and Washington gets to the 50. FUUUUUUUUCK

[Lee Van Cleef]

Can't anyone cover FFS.

[Sephy]

1st, caught by Nate for 7-8. 2 minute warning.

[darb72]

Come on D, force a turnover. We want y'all to win this game for us. You've been the bellcow for Baltimore for 10 years now.

[StingerNLG]

We are in dangerous territory here folks.

Man do we need a game changing receiver too. The Steelers have one, and he has been open all day long.

[Sephy]

2nd and 2, Moore gets a first.

[Lee Van Cleef]

How the hell was he that wide open?

[Sephy]

1st, under 1:30 left, Washington wide fucking open to the 15. UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE

[darb72]

How in the hell do you let him get that wide open? What the hell is the defense thinking there?

[Stumpy]

WTF???? what happened to the D

[Sephy]

1st, 1:12 left, Ward to the 4. First down.

Spiked.

[Sephy]

2nd from the 4, 53s left, incomplete for Spaeth.
3rd, 50s left, complete to Holmes and marked OUTSIDEthe endzone

[Lee Van Cleef]

I think that was a TD.

[darb72]

I think it's short. Has to be incontrivertable in order to overturn the ruling on the field.

[Sephy]

You can NOT say this is indisputable.

[Ravens45]

I am about to wet myself...

[Lee Van Cleef]

Told you.

[Lee Van Cleef]

I just knew we'd blow it like this. Just knew it.

[mjones73]

And the refs just gave them the game.

[Stumpy]

That Horse Shit...

[StingerNLG]

That is the season my friends.

We needed to have this game and the division to get into the playoffs. I don't think we get there otherwise.

[darb72]

That was a total bullshit call.

[Ravens45]

Oh Screw Him!!

[Stumpy]

Someone needs to kick the shit out of the refs...

[darb72]

Come on offense. You have to win this game for us.

[TBOERaven16]

jump ball to heap!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

That's what happens when you go into the redzone 3 times and fail to convert for a TD.

[Stumpy]

I Hate Shittsburg!!!!!

[mjones73]

Season isn't over by the way, we are still tied for a wild card, need to win out now though.

[Ravens45]

I swear, next Steelers fan I see....their throat is slit.

[Sephy]

This is the biggest fucking bullshit I have ever seen.

[darb72]

Walt Coleman works/runs a dairy farm in Arkansas. Here's the link if you want to tell him what you think.

[Sephy]

Aside from ref bullshit blowing the game, if anyone lost us this game it was Cam Cameron. The most predictable gameplan I've seen the Ravens run since 2003. Completely unacceptable. Completely.

[Ravens45]

This happens EVERY season.... some ref(s) screw us over and hand the game away. I knew we were in for a bull crap game when they converted that "first down" when he was at least a full yard short. I said before halftime that the refs are saving something in their back pocket, and then pull it out at the most crucial moment. Once again buttholes, the refs prove me right. I don't know who to pin this loss on...the Ravens defense falling apart on that last drive, McGahee's pathetic block that knocked us out of field goal range, or the refs....

[ravenfever_com]

That 1st down then the TD ... The refs need to be fined and FIRED !!! That is 100% unfair and they must be Stiller Fans !!!

Now for our team .. Cam what happen to the SUGGS PACKAGE??? Why no Clayton ??? What were you thinking???

[mjones73]

My wife just got back from the grocery store, some obnoxious Steelers fan picked a fight with a Ravens fan in the store, wish I was there to drop kick him in the head.

[TTRaven]

Season isn't over by the way, we are still tied for a wild card, need to win out now though.

We actually hold the tie breaker over both Miami and New England. We need to win out or finish with the same record as New England and Miami. It all comes down to Saturday night in Dallas.

[mjones73]

The went safe on offense, didn't want the Steelers to pick up points on defense, unfortunately they went too safe and went no where.

[ravenfever_com]

I sure hope that was a good link to the REF .. because I added my 2 cents!

[mjones73]

I like those odds only slightly better...

[4G63]

Aaahaaaaaa.........this defense is a fucking joke!! 3 redzone appearances and 9 points!! Pussy playcalling on both sides of the ball (what, no press D on wr's to disrupt timing?!?).

I hate to break it to you guys but we didn't get jobbed by the refs (other than the phantom 1st down) this game. The better team won tonight because our O and D failed to hold up there end of the bargain. Pussy calls on offense don't beat good football teams, fellas. Anybody who thinks otherwise is watching this game through purple sunglasses!!

They went 92 yards in 2 and a half minutes!!! They DESERVED to lose with that pathetic showing from the D on the final drive.......

[StingerNLG]

Aside from ref bullshit blowing the game, if anyone lost us this game it was Cam Cameron. The most predictable gameplan I've seen the Ravens run since 2003. Completely unacceptable. Completely.

I agree 100 percent. Let's not forget that if we would have scored a touchdown at any point in this game, we would have won.

I said last week the offense couldn't play like they did against the Skins and win, and I was right. We were mostly anemic on offense and ineffective in the red zone.

McGahee should not play ever again unless Rice just can't go. He can't run, catch, and now he can't block.

We need a real #1 wide receiver who can get open more than 2 times a game.

Bottom line, the season itself is still a success to me, but we are not going to the playoffs. We will not beat Dallas in Dallas. We will beat Jax. So we'll be 10 wins and the Colts and Patriots will get in.

And be pissed. The fucking Steelers came to our house and stole the division.

[James R(aven)]

I'm so pissed off! That was heart wrenching to watch those pigs beat us on their last drive in OUR house. WTF was Cam thinking with all those 2/3 yard runs and no creative play calling. It was our game to win and we threw it away.:(
