GAME THREAD - Ravens/Steelers

[Sephy]

This is it. 60 minutes from Tampa. Win, and celebrate on the Terrible Turf, or go home. We've had an unbelievable season here in Baltimore. How about one more game?

LETS GO RAVENS!!! TAKE IT TO PITTSBURGH!!!

:ww: :ww: :ww:

[Dade]

Just one more win.

WHATS OUR NAME? RAVENS!!!

[StingerNLG]

I can't take the waiting anymore.

And no way in hell I'm watching the pre-game show.

[UKRavenGordon]

All the talking, all the predictions by the talking heads... Count for shit. Let's get this done.

[BUDDAROW]

Lets get it on!!!!!!:ww: :respect

[sh0time]

Gameday.

Pittsburgh did not want to see us. They really didn't want to see us. We must be smart. We must be focused. And we must be tough. Tougher than our opponent. It is our job to set this tone. To not be denied of our ultimate goal.

They're standing in the way of our championship! And it's personal. Because it's on us! We decide our fate. This is our opportunity to let the country in on our little secret - The Baltimore Ravens are the best team in the National Football League. THIS IS OUR TIME, OUR MOMENT.

LET'S HUNT!:thumbup:

[Galen Sevinne]

Harbaugh told "The Bulldog" today when leaving the hotel that the Ravens had their best week of practice all year this week. He said the team is united, focused and ready.

This is to go to the Super Bowl folks

[Marcel#52]

Me either, watching the Cardinals celebrate instead of that pre-game.

They're all blowing the Stoolers.......

[Marcel#52]

Ravens need to put all doubts on there shoulders and take on the steelers...... Ray should step in front of Ben Uselessburger at the line and yell to him...

"BRING IT BITCH"

[Bez513]

10 minutes folks. Refusing to watch the CBS pre-game.

Let's get it on!!!!!!

I did..what a mistake.

Cowher is already talking about Wisenhunt playing against his old team.
All 4 said the Polamanu is a better safety then Reed :229031_confused2:

All 4 picked Pittsburgh

Fuck them all!

[Marcel#52]

They're all blowing the Stoolers.......

What did u expect?
I knew Shannon would give a lil love though

[Marcel#52]

I did..what a mistake.

Screw them all.

I did hear the big "Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhh" Looked like a LOT of Ravens fans are there too!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Go Joe Cool!

[Lee Van Cleef]

I need some gaviscon....

[StingerNLG]

Ravens defer. Excellent.

Now we need a first drive stop and score to get this bitch started.

[4G63]

Ravens defer. Excellent.

Now we need a first drive stop and score to get this bitch started.

So we won the flip?

[darb72]

So here and the chat room?

[darb72]

Come on Defense, force a turnover and let's get this thing started RIGHT!!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

C'mon D!!

[4G63]

Thank you Big Willie!!! False start dumbass!!!

[sh0time]

Defense!

[StingerNLG]

GREAT PLAY REED!!!

Someone has to get to Rothlesberger.

[darb72]

Good pass protection with a three man rush. T-Sizzle gets a hit on Toothlessburger though.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Good defense on that 2nd down there. Getting that ball out. Nice job Reed.

[StingerNLG]

God DAMNIT!!! Come on!!!!

[darb72]

CRAP! That's not what we wanted to have happen. 45 yard completion to the Pansy

[sh0time]

We need more pressure!

[Lee Van Cleef]

C'mon Ed. That's your part of the field there.

[4G63]

We'll take 3 here....

[Dade]

Hold to a field goal.. lucky.

[sh0time]

THEY WILL NOT RUN ON US!:ref:

[darb72]

Ok, hold them to a FG attempt. I'll take that.

[4G63]

Lets get a nice looooooooong drive going, Offense!!!

[StingerNLG]

Ok, only out with 3. But for the love of goodness if they let Hines Ward kick them in the nuts like that all game, we won't have a prayer.

[4G63]

Ok, only out with 3. But for the love of goodness if they let Hines Ward kick them in the nuts like that all game, we won't have a prayer.

I think we'll be alright.....Reed tried to intercept the ball rather than just getting the tackle....

[Dade]

3 and out not good.

[StingerNLG]

UGH!

Clayton needs to catch that ball!! This is the fucking AFC Championship game Mark!!

[darb72]

I like the play calling. Spread the Squeelers out and aim deep down field.

[sh0time]

Love the calls! BUT LET'S CONVERT PLEASE

[Dade]

Yeha playcalling was nice. Unleash Joe on those bastards!

[Lee Van Cleef]

I like the play calling. Spread the Squeelers out and aim deep down field.

Agreed, make Polamalu work that calf.

[StingerNLG]

Damn!!!! Haloooooooooti Ngata!!!

[Dade]

Ngata!!!!

[darb72]

Big sack by Ngata! There we go defense

[StingerNLG]

Why is Figurs back there returning kicks?????

[HoustonRaven]

Someone shoot Figurs in the brain stem before he ruins this game for us!

[sh0time]

C'mon Jimmy! Field position is huge!

[HoustonRaven]

It wasnt Jim, it was Figurs

[darb72]

That was Leonard. I thought it was Figurs too but then I noticed he covered up the ball after fumbling it

[darb72]

Well crap, it had to be one or the other.

[Marcel#52]

Why Was That Figurs???

[sh0time]

My b. Damnit Yamon.

[HoustonRaven]

Still though .... a shot Figurs is a net gain for special teams! ;)

[StingerNLG]

You guys are correct. I just rewound it, it was Leonard.

Nantz was wrong too.

[sh0time]

LERON! UGh

[StingerNLG]

What the fuck?? This is not the game for people to start dropping the ball!!

[BlackSunday]

All these drops are killing us. The INT doesn't help much, either.

BS

[darb72]

Stupid throw by Flacco. Come on Joe you have to play better than that

[sh0time]

Joseph, Joseph, Joseph!

[RavenScallywag]

we're just falling apart here...we need to minimize the damage and correct as we go, if we keep doing this, might as well pack it in now

[StingerNLG]

Wow.

This could be a long night.

If Parker had caught that....................................

[sh0time]

We got lucky Fast Willie has bricks for hands

[Dade]

At least he got that mistake out of the way early.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Roeth. looking pretty lousy as well, lucky for us.

[darb72]

Ward is hurt. Good.

[HoustonRaven]

Pryce and Ward gimpy.

[RavenScallywag]

so is Pryce...JEESH, please let us catch a break tonight?

[sh0time]

Oh Trevor, Please be okay.

[Sephy]

And now Pryce is hurt. Seriously, WTF?

[Marcel#52]

If WRS start catching we'll be fine.... Without Hinez there nothing

[darb72]

Pryce will come back. It's just another thing we'll have to work through on our way to the Superbowl.

[RavenScallywag]

If WRS start catching we'll be fine.... Without Hinez there nothing

I disagree...Holmes has burned us a lot before, and with us down a few CBs, he is still a big threat.

[sh0time]

oh lord.

[darb72]

Dang it. We don't need to be down by 10 here.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Oh for god's sake. Why is it he always makes plays like that against us?

I HATE THAT GUY.

[StingerNLG]

Fuck.

Edit: Is that a legal catch? That ball hit the turf!

[sh0time]

No Catch!!!

[darb72]

Not a catch. Not a catch!!!!

[BlackSunday]

Wow - a lot happened on that play - how is Jen moving?

BS

[Marcel#52]

Thats Def not a catch... at all

[Dade]

No catch! Ball hit the ground.

[myfavoriteboxer]

That is one hell of a challenge.

[HoustonRaven]

Bullet dodged

[darb72]

Hey, Harbaugh finally challenged a play. It's about time

[Lee Van Cleef]

Good challenge Coach.

[StingerNLG]

Holy shit!! WHEW!!!!!

John Harbaugh, if the Ravens win today, would definately have a hand in the momentum.

And Hines may be out a while.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Jones is in on D.

[StingerNLG]

Nice play Frank!! We pounded on you all week, and that was a good play.

[darb72]

Are any of the refs in the NFL gonna call holding when opposing offensive linemen hold our guys all game long?

[Lee Van Cleef]

When is this team going to bloody realise that you need to break down when blitzing Hamburglar? He's going to step out of it, make sure you wrap him first, then worry about bringing him down.

[Dade]

Are any of the refs in the NFL gonna call holding when opposing offensive linemen hold our guys all game long?

Just thinking the same thing.

6-0 I'll take that.

[StingerNLG]

Ok, enough of this shit. It's time to get the offense moving.

[Marcel#52]

I think Ward might be out this game..... Useless is hurting too.... but thats a normal

[sh0time]

Man oh man. We need a drive bigtime!

[sh0time]

chines questionable return...pussy

[StingerNLG]

Wow. Look at Yamon going though traffic.

[sh0time]

Our offensive line is playing great. Our receivers need to work harder and we need to be more committed to the run to keep the ball in our hands.

[StingerNLG]

FUCK FUCK!!!

I'm sorry, but it needs to be said. Flacco is breaking the pocket WAY to quickly. Stand in there Joe!!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Joe looks a bit antsy to me.

[Dade]

FUCK FUCK!!!

I'm sorry, but it needs to be said. Flacco is breaking the pocket WAY to quickly. Stand in there Joe!!

I dont think so. Thw WRs aren't getting open.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Yeah, I don't know why they are going to Mason if he's doubled. Take advantage of single coverage.

[StingerNLG]

I dont think so. Thw WRs aren't getting open.

Someone has to be open if they are doubling Mason.


And can our defense PLEASE stop the pass??

[darb72]

YES!!!!!

[myfavoriteboxer]

Leonhard!!!:thumbup:

[sh0time]

Lets Go Now O!

[Sephy]

TURNOVER FUCK YES!!!
get em JOE!!!

[Dade]

Jimmy on da spot!

[RavenScallywag]

OMG, THANK YOU LEONHARD! Offense, DO SOMETHING with this!

[StingerNLG]

FUMBLE!!!!!

Ray with the strip, Leonard with the dive.

Anyone think Dwan Landry might be in trouble for his spot next year?

[sh0time]

Lets Run The Ball Down Their Throats Now

[Lee Van Cleef]

Nice job Ray and Big Jim. Love it!

[darb72]

McGhee is running hard. We can beat up the Squeelers defense with size.

[RavenScallywag]

FUMBLE!!!!!

Ray with the strip, Leonard with the dive.

Anyone think Dwan Landry might be in trouble for his spot next year?

I think Leonhard might be a FA...and he's going to get a NICE deal for all this prime time plays he's making. Whether it's us paying or someone else, still yet to be determined. But yeah, I'd go for Leonhard.

[Dade]

Ben is hurt.

[sh0time]

Big Jen is hurt again. Surprise Surprise

[RavenScallywag]

HAAAAA, Byron Leftwich is warming up!!!!

[StingerNLG]

WOAH!!! Leftwich warming up???

[sh0time]

Go for it. qb sneak. go for it.

[StingerNLG]

Sigh.......

[darb72]

Go for it here offense. You can pick up a yard. Just pound it in the middle.

[sh0time]

nooooo. Give us that spot ref!

[Dade]

Bad Spot!

[sh0time]

some homecookin right there. F Pittsburgh. Unbelievable. C'mon offense! THis is ridiculous

[darb72]

Ok, so I was wrong. Why in the hell do you not give the ball to McClain there?

[RavenScallywag]

Polamalu was REAL close to getting facemask on there...

[StingerNLG]

The spot was fine. It was a STUPID playcall. Give the ball to McClain.

What the hell are we doing???

[sh0time]

Big Jen is an enormous drama queen. Phil Simms eating up his "courageous effort" to stay in the game. Must have been a Drama major at MiamiU

[RavenScallywag]

well, nevermind. Big Ben is back in...

something has to give in the 2nd quarter...we can't keep playing this ineffective on offense. It's just downright embarassing.

[darb72]

We're only down six. That's the good news.

The bad news is we still don't have a first down.

[Bez513]

Well...we just blew a big opportunity there.

[Marcel#52]

Ok, so I was wrong. Why in the hell do you not give the ball to McClain there?
I think his ankle must really be hurting or something cause it would have been a 1st if he was running

[StingerNLG]

We're only down six. That's the good news.

The bad news is we still don't have a first down.

I don't know what Cam is waiting for.

We're not running McClain.

I haven't even SEEN Ray Rice on the field yet.

This is not good at all.

[RavenScallywag]

bye...that play just about sums it up, don't it

[Bez513]

fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[darb72]

Are you shitting me?

[StingerNLG]

You

have

got

to

be

fucking

kidding

me.

[sh0time]

Ben is the luckiest SOB ever. Good grief. Damnit Fabian!

[Lee Van Cleef]

Jesus.

[sh0time]

he tosses up a floater. A FLOATER!!!!! And we let that go for a touch. That is ridiculous.

[HoustonRaven]

Vanilla offense.

Poor execution on defense.

Not good.

[RavenScallywag]

this game isn't out of reach, but when you consider our offense can't pick up 1 stinking yard on 2 plays, while they get swarmed on a blitz and turn it into a 60 yard TD pass, that should indicate where the momentum is pretty well...jeesh, we need a lot of somethings to turn around QUICK

[darb72]

Ok offense we need to get a touchdown here.

[Bez513]

Well....time to throw the sink in. Got to do something.

[StingerNLG]

Well, not with a return like that.

And looking at it again I agree with Simms. Don't blame Washington for that.

[darb72]

Ok, McGhee gets us our first first down. Now we build on it

[RavenScallywag]

oh cmon...we have 2nd and inches, and a damn false start???

[darb72]

Ok, I spoke way to soon and jinxed us. Sorry guys.

[StingerNLG]

No, it wasn't a first down. And now it's 2nd and 6 instead of 2nd and inches.

[RavenScallywag]

if we can't pick up a 1st here, this game is over...

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Holy Crap!

A first down!!

[sh0time]

Willis is running very well. Fresh legs are nice.

[StingerNLG]

It's about fucking time. But what the hell kind of call was that?

[darb72]

Stinger, Rice is in the game and got a carry.

[darb72]

Oh goody, a flag against us. Now it's first and 15

[StingerNLG]

Holy hell.

[RavenScallywag]

and another penalty...ha, we can't get a good drive going to save our life!

[Lee Van Cleef]

so sick of those damn penalties.

[RavenScallywag]

oh Rice, how we've missed you!

[sh0time]

Thank you Rice. Thank you

[darb72]

There you go Sting! Rice get's a big first down

[StingerNLG]

RAY RICE! Nice NICE run!!

See Darb, they just need to hear me!

[RavenScallywag]

Rice for 22...McGahee for -1...JHC!

[Raveninwoodlawn]

McGahee is tiptoeing too much.

Where is Neal when we want to run the ball?

[StingerNLG]

Once again Flacco tries to break pocket, and this time right into the right DE.

[darb72]

I told Harbaugh he should listen to Stinger just the other day.

[sh0time]

Great catch Mark!

[StingerNLG]

Thank you Mark Clayton.

[sh0time]

This could be nice. James Harrison out? I like the idea.

[StingerNLG]

Nice run Willis. Take the hard inside run instead of the potential good outside run for the second play in a row.

:(

[4G63]

I'm glad I've missed this........I HAD to do something for my job.

[Marcel#52]

Steelers are dropping like flies....

[darb72]

I've sent Breean and mommy to the back bedroom so I can throw stuff as much as I want.

[StingerNLG]

Shit

[myfavoriteboxer]

Sheesh, at least the D got a few minutes rest there.

[Dade]

Come on Joe u cant hold it that long.

[4G63]

I can tell you guys this, the game plan changes BIGTIME if we go into halftime 13-0.

[darb72]

Ok defense, force a turnover here. We're a second half team so let's not let it get away from us in the first half.

[Marcel#52]

Ok defense, force a turnover here. We're a second half team so let's not let it get away from us in the first half.

Agreed.... Maybe McClain can start running with McGahee and Rice..

[Galen Sevinne]

Maybe sometime tonight when we have the ball we could run it to the OUTSIDE??????

[StingerNLG]

Amazing. The Steelers can complete passes at will. We complete 2?

[darb72]

I don't know about this challenge. I think he caught it.

[StingerNLG]

Yeah, he got it between the legs.

[Dade]

Bad challenge.

[4G63]

Wow....we'll take the flag here!

[StingerNLG]

Flag on Kemo. That was stupid.

[darb72]

Personal foul on the Squeelers after the play. We force a punt and we can score before half

[StingerNLG]

Ok, punt and possibly some good field position. We have GOT TO SCORE going into the half!

[myfavoriteboxer]

Nice run, but good grief.

[darb72]

YES!!! Leonard you stud you! That guy will be a Raven next season if I have to pay him myself

[4G63]

Great runback by Leonhard!!

[StingerNLG]

Leonard!!!!!!!

[Dade]

Nice return. But come on Jim u cant get caught by the punter!

[4G63]

Where is Ray Rice?

[darb72]

Yes. Pass interference on the Squeelers in the endzone. We get the ball at the three yard line

[StingerNLG]

Pass interference!!!!!!

And what a blitz pickup!!! I thought Flacco was down.

[4G63]

I love how the fans are bitchin.....he fuckin grabbed his arm!!

[StingerNLG]

Ahhhhh Shit!!! Frank Walker is down!!

[Dade]

Willis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StingerNLG]

Touchdown!!! A little trickery.

There's the Cam we know and love!!!

[Dabruise]

I was just going to call for them to get him outta there. New Game.

[myfavoriteboxer]

I was about to call McGahee a chump for continually running into the pile for a 0.5 yard gain, over and over again, but great play on the blitz pickup, and nice touchdown.

[4G63]

13- 7!!!! That makes a BIG difference at halftime....as long as we can hold them here!!

[4G63]

Listen to the fans.....I LOVE IT!!!

[darb72]

Bruise!!!!

[StingerNLG]

A chance to score before the half and go in with momentum and get the ball back in the second half.

I can't believe Cory Ivy is now our 2nd CB. Although he had a nice line bat.

[StingerNLG]

Damnit Willis!!! Run to the fucking outside!!!

[darb72]

Oh thank goodness. Joe, do not try to make that throw.

[StingerNLG]

So fucking frustrating.

[4G63]

We need a Wide Receiver BIG TIME!!

[Dade]

We need a Wide Receiver BIG TIME!!1

Number 1 issue in the off season.

[darb72]

Ok, can we put Ngata at CB?

[StingerNLG]

Lucky lucky lucky.

I didn't think I'd miss Frank Walker.

[4G63]

Dodged a bullet there....that would have been a dagger!!

[darb72]

Toothlessburger is going to wind up turning the ball over soon.

[StingerNLG]

God Damnit!!!!!

God Damnit!!!!!

God Damnit!!!!!

God Damnit!!!!!

God Damnit!!!!!

God Damnit!!!!!

God Damnit!!!!!

HORRIBLE FUCKING CALL!

[4G63]

That was a terrible call!!

[darb72]

That's a bullcrap call

[BlackSunday]

And Harbaugh's out of challenges on the roughing call.

BS

[Dade]

Never touched the punter.

[mjones73]

You gotta be kidding me.

[mjones73]

Great, they are dropping receivers, we just lost another defensive player.

[StingerNLG]

Oh no.

THAT is helmet to helmet!!!

[4G63]

Ivy just got lit up!!

[darb72]

And Harbaugh's out of challenges on the roughing call.

BS

Can challenge inside the two minute warning and that's not a reviewable play anyway

[Dade]

And Harbaugh's out of challenges on the roughing call.

BS

Dont think you can challenge that anyway.

[BlackSunday]

Now Ivy's down. Great.

BS

[BlackSunday]

Dont think you can challenge that anyway.

Good point, you and Darb.

BS

[F Angelos]

[QUOTE=BlackSunday;126116]And Harbaugh's out of challenges on the roughing call.

BS[/QUOTe

Challenging a roughing the kicker? Who are you, Tom Matte?

[darb72]

Wow, we doged a huge bullet there. Only fair since the refs boned us hard core

[myfavoriteboxer]

Quick guys, run into the tunnel, got a good laugh out of that one.

[F Angelos]

I think S White will be our starting corner in the 4th quarter. This is ridiculous.

[StingerNLG]

Guys, unless something changes drastically, I don't feel good at all about this game.

Cam has got to re-open that playbook and get aggressive. If Flacco isn't supposed to be a rookie anymore, then damnit stop calling plays like he is one.

And if we have to go into the second half with Edgar Jones and Evan Oglesby as our every-down defenders, we are going to get our asses handed to us. Who's even left to play dime and nickel packages?

I need to change the channel because I will punch my screen if I have to hear Coach Chin spit Steeler jiz out of his mouth.

[4G63]

Our secondary are dropping like flies.......if they keep getting those slants with no safety help on the backside, we're in for a long half....

[Marcel#52]

I think S White will be our starting corner in the 4th quarter. This is ridiculous.

I'm sorry who?... Our safties are Tom Z., H. Knakmua,(I'm not really tryna spell those 2) Daren Stone, Jim L. and Ed Reed.
Who's White? I'm just wondering who you're talking about...

[Marcel#52]

Our secondary are dropping like flies.......if they keep getting those slants with no safety help on the backside, we're in for a long half....

We're losing DBs and they're losing WRs... i saw Frank back and i think Ivy just lost his wind... we're fine

[BlackSunday]

I'm sorry who?... Our safties are Tom Z., H. Knakmua,(I'm not really tryna spell those 2) Daren Stone, Jim L. and Ed Reed.
Who's White? I'm just wondering who you're talking about...

Stan White, down from the WBAL booth?

BS

[Galen Sevinne]

Corey Ivy is a gamer...he will be back. What happened to Walker? It looked like he ran into a camera guy and banged his hand?

[Sephy]

2nd half. Lets do this!
