If the Steelers win today...

I hate to say it, but that could be a big if by the looks of things so far. Ravens up 14-7 late in the 1st and looking like they may want this thing more than the Steelers.

 

[Jimbo]

It's a shame the officials won't let these teams play today.

I can see if these teams were scrub teams .....

Theres been a flag on like every other play.

Way to early to make that call.

 

[mccoyrj]

Way to early to make that call.

I know it's early. Not calling anything. That's why I said "could be" and "may want."

Steelers need to make a big play on D to get this thing going in their direction. :up

Well, they got a stop and now get to start once again inside thier 10 yard line, need a long drive to turn things around.

 

[BillD1984]

Good Gawd, these teams are KILLING each other!!

 

[mccoyrj]

Well, they got a stop and now get to start once again inside thier 10 yard line, need a long drive to turn things around.

And they fumble...bummer. Might change my mind about making that call. Gotta hold them to at least a fieldgoal. Come on Steelers!

As they usually are, turnovers costly for the Steelers, 21-7 dont see this being a shoot out

 

[BillD1984]

Steelers need to score something before the half......

 

[Jimbo]

A shoot out ???

Hope you didn't expect a shoot out .... these guys usually play games in the teens.

Steelers are not a team that turns the ball over often, Ben's only been picked 5 times all year.

Fumbles were a problem EARLY in the year, but mostly not since.

 

[satjay]

No way did not expect a shoot out, I was thinking that with the Ravens alreafy with 21, it would may have to lead to that which I know would not happen, especially with the way the Ravens are playing D

 

[BillD1984]

Marino said it best........the Steelers first possession in the second half is huge!

 

[BillD1984]

i was just gonna say the Steelers need a turnover to have a chance in this game.......and there it is!

 

[Jimbo]

The first possession netted nothing, BUT the D came up big and the Steelers are on the board with a few good plays from the offense !

Steeler's O line has to play much better fro them to get anywhere.

 

[Jimbo]

Have the Steeler's and Ravens played any games in the 20's or higher in the last 5 years ?

 

[BillD1984]

Have the Steeler's and Ravens played any games in the 20's or higher in the last 5 years ?

MAYBE low 20's at the most. But, to be fair, the 35 points today are mostly from the defenses.

 

[Jimbo]

True, the Ravens got a score the D set up and now the Steelers got a TD the D set up.

IMO, ALL the Ravens had to do was take care of the ball and the game was theirs. Now, clearly the Steelers are back in the game.

But you're right Jimbo, the Steelers offensive line must play MUCH better..................

 

[BillD1984]

I'm smelling OT in this one, and I hope they kick the snot out of each other for three extra quarters!
