GAME THREAD - Ravens/Steelers

[RavenScallywag]

Figurs....you almost gave me the 2nd heart attack in 2 minutes

Almost muffed

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

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



:rolling: :rolling: :rolling:

[StingerNLG]

Shit!! Our return team has been horrible tonight!

[4G63]

Alright O, lets play smart.....lets not give them the game....

[pyite32]

God Figurs scares me.

plus he looks really slow tonight

[Merlin]

This is where the legend of Flacco starts . . .

[RavenScallywag]

how much would i love a deep TD from Flacco right now

[PARavensJeff]

no huddle, run it down their throat

[4G63]

McClain has really proven his worth tonight....

[pyite32]

Crap McClain is hurt....

[PARavensJeff]

There went our last time out

[darb72]

Well maybe we should actually try throwing the ball for a change?

Crap, we're not even going to try for the win.

[RavenScallywag]

this game is going to go to OT....and McClain is injured.

I smell an OT loss :(

[4G63]

As I said that, he gets a freakin cramp!!

[UKRavenGordon]

Did those wankers just cheer our injury?

[Sephy]

McClain is cramping. Ray Rice will have to be big in OT.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Beat up and we face Ten next week ughhh

[Merlin]

This is BS -- be aggressive on offense!

[darb72]

Let Joe throw the dang ball. We have 46 seconds back but oh well we're going to over time.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Why in the hell not throw the ball?

[Brandon]

See, this is why I do miss Jamal Lewis. He would just grind it out about now. No cramps or McGahee nonsense

[PARavensJeff]

Don't want to risk an INT this deep

[StingerNLG]

Overtime. Here we go.

Flag????? WTF??

[4G63]

Holy Shit...McGahee's eye looks terrible...

[RavenScallywag]

Flacco kneels....penalty?

Kidding me?, how did we get an offensive penalty on a KNEEL DOWN play

[PARavensJeff]

OT here we go

[UKRavenGordon]

At 2am UK time I would have taken this.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Flacco kneels....penalty?

Kidding me?, how did we get an offensive penalty on a KNEEL DOWN play

Because the NFL ref's are paid to hate us!:ref:

[RavenScallywag]

Here comes OT...I can't imagine with no McGahee or McClain that we will win this. So, while we still have a tie, thank you Ravens offense...you've given us a hell of a game.

[4G63]

Lets get the flip....and win this GAME!!!

[darb72]

Now that is impressive. I've never seen an illegal formation on a kneel-down.

I played football for nine years and that is the first time I've seen that call. Kudos Ravens, for finding new and inventive ways to screw up.

[PARavensJeff]

Holy Shit...McGahee's eye looks terrible...

That's the eye he got poked in last week. The cut was above the right & the poke was in the left

[Brandon]

I sure hope we win the toss

[RavenScallywag]

please throw a deep TD here, since Harbs called for the change in rule.

We have to snap the ball with 7 seconds left

[PARavensJeff]

1 more play

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

WTH is going on? 7 secs off 7 secs back on LOL

[4G63]

This would be a great time for a fake kneel!!


I kid....

[darb72]

..... Seriously, that's just fucked up.

Most people here know I don't cuss, but that was truely just a really messed up call.

Now they have to put seven seconds BACK on the clock and snap it once more.

[RavenScallywag]

that was friggin stupid...why not let the bad call stand and you don't have to have Flacco kneel it

[PARavensJeff]

WTF, throw it deep & go for it

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

OK now I am on my knees praying for the toss!

[RavenScallywag]

toss....is WON!

LET'S GO LET'S GO....PLEASE PLEASE give us a W
Also, I hate the MNF crew...they wanted us to defer. A-holes

[4G63]

We get the ball!!!! Lets GO FLACCO and win this GAME!!!!

[PARavensJeff]

We win the toss, now let's win the game

[pyite32]

Please Flacco.. Please...

[Sephy]

WE WANNA RECEIVE!

Come on offense, you beautiful bastards, get out of this city with a win!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Ok now lets move the ball down the feild and get at least 3 and go home happy! Either way I am sure some of the "haters" out there have eaten their own words about us sucking!!

[RavenScallywag]

i wasn't paying attention, did the refs not hear us screaming "We wanna Receive"? We had to say it like 5 times

[PARavensJeff]

Yamon, all will be forgiven tonight if you break 1 off now

[StingerNLG]

Ok guys. This may tell us all we need to know about our season. If we pull this out and go 3-0 in our division, and beat the Steelers at home, I have to believe we have a legitimate shot at the playoffs.

Like I said, either way, our offense did what they had to do to keep us in this. You can't be TOO unhappy with Flacco and the O (minus a couple glaring mistakes).

[RavenScallywag]

i bet they squib it

[highwater]

Who the hell corrected the refs about that end of regulation penalty? It couldn't have been Harbaugh -- what a waste of time.

At least we won the toss.

[RavenScallywag]

good return but 4 flags are down....

[4G63]

Come on Special Teams....WTF!!!!

[Brandon]

Just take the knee. Damn

[PARavensJeff]

Finally we get a return & we get 5 flags

[StingerNLG]

Damnit!!! Our first good run and it's screwed with a penalty.

Our special teams have SUCKED today.

[RavenScallywag]

holding on Barnes and Nakamura, we get it at the 15....DAMN IT

[PARavensJeff]

If no one has left who is sitting in all those empty seats?

[RavenScallywag]

McClain is back out there, so we've got a chance....

Grind it out, play it safe, go for a safe FG

[darb72]

Ok the running game isn't working. Let the rookie earn his stripes.

[PARavensJeff]

damnit chop block

[4G63]

Chop block....godammit!

[StingerNLG]

Chop block?????? seriously??????

Let's just GIVE the game to the steelers now.

[darb72]

And we get called with a chop block. New and intresting, new and intresting.

[RavenScallywag]

here come the penalties again...Chop Block!We haven't had one of those, we're collecting them tonight
Now it's 2nd on the 8 yard line....only 92 yards to go!

[4G63]

Motherfucker.....we get the damn flip and we shoot ourselves in the foot!!!

[RavenScallywag]

3rd and 10....we have to throw...Flacco let's do it....

[PARavensJeff]

shit, we need to bounce this ball out, we need the 1st down

[RavenScallywag]

good night

[4G63]

Fuck... a damn sack!!!

[PARavensJeff]

Who didn't know they would be coming

[StingerNLG]

Shit. That is likely the game right there.

[pyite32]

god damn it there goes the game.

[darb72]

Well crud. That didn't go quite like we wanted it to. We're gonna punt and put this game on our defense's shoulders.

[RavenScallywag]

at least we're playing tough to the end....SMASH hit by Barnes

[StingerNLG]

We need a stop in the absolute WORST way.

[4G63]

Lets keep them out of field goal position!!! Come on D!!!

[PARavensJeff]

Damn, great punt & coverage, but they have good field position

[pyite32]

How was that not a block in the back?

[darb72]

Let's go Defense. Beat them down!

[RavenScallywag]

How was that not a block in the back?

Because they couldn't call it against the Ravens

[4G63]

Great pressure!!!

[RavenScallywag]

3rd and 8, let's make a stand

[darb72]

Damn It!!!!

[4G63]

You have got to be shitting me....thats the game!!! FUCKKKKKK!!

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

Good NIGHT!

[RavenScallywag]

....AND game...

missed tackles and penalties, that's what put the nail in the coffin

[StingerNLG]

Thanks a lot defense. You just lost us the game.

[UKRavenGordon]

Damnit. We fought hard. This one is gonna be tough to take.

[pyite32]

there's the fucking game.

And now we are too beat up to compete with the Titans next week...

[RavenScallywag]

you know what...that play might've just saved us...

[PARavensJeff]

that was huge, now push them back more

[4G63]

Loss of 4...a 53yd fg attempt....we're still in business!

[RavenScallywag]

D, this time HOLD on 3rd down!!!!!!

[PARavensJeff]

damnit

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

45 yrds I hope he shanks it!

[pyite32]

Fucking Blitz and you don't press cover...l

Thanks Rex you bastard

[RavenScallywag]

nevermind...45 yard FG attempt...all we can hope fo is icing the K and some good old fashioned LUCK

[StingerNLG]

Damnit, they almost got to him. Where is the man coverage on the sidelines?

Let's hope Reed misses this.

[PARavensJeff]

Block this Kick

[RavenScallywag]

TO called, but that was a safe FG...bet he makes it 2nd time.

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

hahaha that was great coach..thanks for giving us another chance!

[4G63]

Motherfucker.....we played a good game!!!


Can we get a block?!?

[PARavensJeff]

Come on D block it

[RavenScallywag]

and for the game....it is......good

damn

damn

shit

nice try guys

[PARavensJeff]

FUCK

[StingerNLG]

Shit. Game over. Thanks defense.

Thanks JJ.

[pyite32]

Fucking Bullshit, we gave them that game.

Stupid fucking penalties

[UKRavenGordon]

I thought he'd missed it........... Damn this stings.

[Sephy]

Such a heartbreaking loss :(

[Fiesty Ravens Chic]

JJ will have a REALLY BAD night now....He cost us soooooooooooo fucking much it makes me sick!

[RavenScallywag]

And just wait, tomorrow, we will be labeled as "terrible", the Steelers will be labeled as "amazing"

Nothing about the fact that we made them win it in OT. Nothing about hanging in and coming back to tie

[pyite32]

This game is the melt down. We will be 2-3 going into Miami.

[4G63]

What a bunch of SHIT!!


We're 2-1 guys.....who would have thought we'd be in this game like this!!!

[darb72]

Well we played a good game. We just need another receiver and I think we'll be fine.

[Brandon]

That Jarrett Johnson penalty really changed the whole outcome of this game.

[RavenScallywag]

pyite, I don't share your pessimism.

Call me crazy, I think we play this type of close game against the Titans next week, and maybe we pul out a win after Harbaugh rips this team a new one.

[4G63]

Shit. Game over. Thanks defense.

Thanks JJ.

This


Fucking Bullshit, we gave them that game.

Stupid fucking penalties

This


JJ will have a REALLY BAD night now....He cost us soooooooooooo fucking much it makes me sick!

and This...

[Mr.Boh]

This game is the melt down. We will be 2-3 going into Miami.

lol... I hope your drunk right now... alott to be happy about tonight

[RavenScallywag]

the worst part is I have to get up in 5 hours now...and we didn't get the damn WIN!

aggh, I blame this one squarely on our D...our o had some issues with that fumble for a TD, but the D let Holmes get a TD, the D had the big penalties, the D let them keep coming back and getting the OT FG.

[James R(aven)]

ARRRGGHHH!!!!! how one penalty can change a game.

[middleriverterp]

I agree, that penalty was a dagger. ESPN is singing the praises of us on SportsCenter, though. I think we will be ok next week against the Titans. It will be another slobbernocker.

[pyite32]

I saw Tenn play in Nashville this weekend, they are much better than the Steelers. We are in trouble.

Damn you for getting my hopes up...

[highwater]

the worst part is I have to get up in 5 hours now...and we didn't get the damn WIN!

Same here . . . :grbac:

[RavenScallywag]

he got a loss, but Flacco is just looking more and more like the QB he should be EVERY week.

He stepped it up, made the tough throws, and FINALLY got a passing TD. His first road game, and he came away with a pretty good stat line.

Meanwhile, Matt Ryan STILL can't get it done on the road.

I think Flacco has won this job, beyond any shadow of a doubt.

[RavenScallywag]

I saw Tenn play in Nashville this weekend, they are much better than the Steelers. We are in trouble.

Damn you for getting my hopes up...

we played Tennessee tough the last time we faced them and got the win...wasn't it last year?

Yes, they are playing tough, but I think Harbaugh will motivate us to play with more of a hunger now that we took a loss. Flacco keeps getting better and looked his best against a tough Steelers D.

We may lose that one, but my opinion is the same as I had for this game...We might lose, but it'll be close, and we have a chance...

[RavenScallywag]

I'll be getting up at 11 and heading to the pool at noon - same as most days.

:laugh:

you suck! Enjoy.

I'm out

[ravenjoe]

That Jarrett Johnson penalty really changed the whole outcome of this game.

Wrong....Big Ben changed the outcome of this game, Not to mention the fact that Cmac can't tackle worth a damn, and our Special Teams gave up field position in overtime. Big Ben showed why he is probably the Top QB in the NFL - we couldn't stop him when it counted the most...Period!!!

[StingerNLG]

You can't blame it all on 1 player. Yea, JJ's penalty hurt but so did Flacco's rookie mistake on his fumble that led to a TD.

It all adds up.

In reality Flacco should have been on the bench but was pressed into service & done good despite his rookie mistake.

This game will work wonders for his learning curve and next year.

And consider when it counted in the 4th quarter, he took care of business and drove the team downfield to tie the game. He made up for his mistake.

JJ's penalty was absolutely unnecessary, and it put the Steelers from their 33 to our 44.

[Gabrosin]

Terribly disappointing way to finish the game, but let's be realistic here. The Ravens went into Pittsburgh, on Monday night, with Joe Flacco at QB, and took the Steelers to overtime, controlling the ball for most of the game, plus driving for a tying score late when all the momentum was against us. If not for a fluky fumble recovery TD, this game could have gone to the Ravens. Yes, Joe Flacco made some mistakes, holding the ball too long a few times, but overall his performance was solid and he remained poised all game. Now we have to come home and take care of the Titans. In spite of the loss, we're a legit team now. Let's act like it, and get back on track against the Titans.

[ravenjoe]

Flacco played fine! If you want to blame anyone, blame the freaking left side of the line for blindsiding Flacco. And, thank goodness for RAY and MASON - this game would've been lost in regulation had it not been for their gritty performances!

[4G63]

Damn...they just said Mendenhall has a broken shoulder and will be IR'ed

[ravenjoe]

Damn...they just said Mendenhall has a broken shoulder and will be IR'ed
Well, that can be attributed to Ray Ray, I believe, on that hit!

[4G63]

Those fuckin Stoolers know we punched them in the face tonight and were lucky to get the win....Hines certainly wasn't gloating after the game like he usually does....

[ravenjoe]

Hines delivered in crunch time, along with Ben. Our team did not! Special teams also blew it in overtime, by putting us in terrible field position.

[Rochardrik]
