GAME THREAD - Ravens/Steelers

[Purpleguy]

This is what happens when you sit on your hands in the offseason.

[StingerNLG]

I wish I would have. We are very very undisciplined.

This is really hard to watch. Undisciplined is the perfect word.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

FWIW...I totally would have kicked that FG when we had the ball at the 35...I know the reasoning for the punt, but I just had a bad feeling that we would need those points and may not get another shot at more points.

[UKRavenGordon]

Pig Pen and Polamalu out and we produce this crap! I didn't wait up til 4am to watch us lose!

Sort it out!

[Dade]

and at the moment i have little confidence that the offense will be able to pull this out now. I don't know what has happened to this team, but something better happen in this posession, or this season is over.

The worst of this riw is that it should never have been this close. Dennis dixon looks like fucking vince young right now.

And look at that, another st penalty.

you and me both. This team just doesn't have that killer instinct. Close a fucking game out! They've made dixon look like a seasoned vet. It's like ben is out there.

[Stumpy]

Nice catch Clayton

[USVIRavensfan]

Holy Shit we got a first down

[UKRavenGordon]

Great grab by Clayton, I'd target him deep here.

[StingerNLG]

Give Mark Clayton his due tonight. Minus the fumble, he's been pretty good tonight. He just took a shot.

[StingerNLG]

Tripping??? Really? Tripping??

[Stumpy]

What the Hell??? The O Line is mostly at fault for this

[Stumpy]

GO for it!!!

[StingerNLG]

They have to go for it here.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Fuck Harbs...go for it!

[myfavoriteboxer]

Absolutely terrible clock management here.

[Sephy]

Harbaugh wasting timeouts again. Unbelievable.

[UKRavenGordon]

Either punt it or go for it. Don't waste the god damn timeout!

[Purpleguy]

Harbaugh is an idiot. He is totally lost.

[Dade]

Jesus! Why are we burning another TO! I think I just lost faith in Harbs.

[baltimore_hokie]

Wait 15 seconds before calling the timeout there, Harbaugh's honeymoon is getting old real fast. Can't wain the big game, doesn't do the shit he needs to. Fucking pathetic.

Can I take that back?

[Stumpy]

Fuckin RICE

[UKRavenGordon]

Ray Rice....

I Love You


That is all

[StingerNLG]

Wow! Ray fucking Rice!!!!!

[Dade]

Thank God for Ray Rice!

[myfavoriteboxer]

OK. Ray Rice, you singlehandedly have made this team worth watching this year.

[Stumpy]

OK. Ray Rice, you singlehandedly have made this team worth watching this year.

Absolutely

[StingerNLG]

He may have saved this game if they can score a touchdown.

[Dade]

OK. Ray Rice, you singlehandedly have made this team worth watching this year.

AMEN!

[Dade]

He may have saved this game if they can score a touchdown.

The game, no the season.

[baltimore_hokie]

Flacco, please make a big play here. Please. Do it for me. I don't want to hear Shittsburgh inbreds talking shit for another month about beating us. This is your time to shine and prove that you can win the big game for us. No settling for a field goal and giving them time to beat us with a FG. Win the game for us right now.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Rice is just awesome.

Please don't call a BS conservative play.

[Stumpy]

Need a TD

[UKRavenGordon]

Twice PI in the fucking endzone and they dont call it!

[StingerNLG]

Ugh. Not good.

We very much need to stop the steelers here and now.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Yuck. Now Dixon has 2 minutes to get in field goal range. I am seriously dreading this.

[Stumpy]

Twice PI in the fucking endzone and they dont call it!

Seems to be a trend

[Stumpy]

Ed REEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!

[TTRaven]

Dixon is going to make a mistake here.

[baltimore_hokie]

Foxworth is going to make a mistake here.

Fixed that for you.

[UKRavenGordon]

4 man rush. Make Dixon beat us through the air.

[TTRaven]

Lardarius had it!

[myfavoriteboxer]

Great play by Webb. Coulda been greater.

[StingerNLG]

WEBB!!!!!! Nice play rookie!!! Just barely!

[UKRavenGordon]

Let's go win this football game!

[Sephy]

Time for Joe Flacco to win a game. Right now.

[Stumpy]

Thank you D!!!

[Dade]

Webb missed it by inches. Guy has been lights out all year.

[Stumpy]

Another Damn flag

[UKRavenGordon]

God damn Penalties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[myfavoriteboxer]

The Baltimore Ravens, committing humiliating blocking penalties on punt returns since 1996.

[StingerNLG]

Chris Carr again!!!!

Except yet ANOTHER ST penalty. Fucking penalties.

[Stumpy]

Gooden should be doing pushups and laps

[TTRaven]

These damn special team penalties are ridiculous! Get your team under control Harbaugh!

[baltimore_hokie]

One word: FINISH.

[UKRavenGordon]

Please.....

[Stumpy]

I'm pulling all my damn hair out!!!

[StingerNLG]

59 minutes it takes to get Heap the ball.

[UKRavenGordon]

Finally!!!!

[Stumpy]

Thank you for the pass interference

[TTRaven]

Finally a P.I. call on Mason!

[StingerNLG]

Finally a flag for Mason!

Nice!! 2 flags!

[UKRavenGordon]

We are so f'n close to a win here!

[TTRaven]

Mason has made Ike Taylor his bitch tonight!

[Stumpy]

Rice deservers a TD here

[StingerNLG]

Come on Joe!!!!! Fuck fuck fuck!!!

And an offensive PI.

[UKRavenGordon]

Clayton! Jesus christ....

[TTRaven]

Mark Clayton is terrible!

[Stumpy]

I think SELF DESTRUCTIVE is a better description

[StingerNLG]

And I was just praising Clayton earlier. And now he's put us out of FG range.

I do NOT want to go to overtime.

[Stumpy]

FUCK FUCK FUCK.... I hate watching sometimes... Cundiff was on line though

[UKRavenGordon]

I'd honestly just jumped in the air thinking that was through....

[StingerNLG]

Oh

My

God


Just continuing to TRY to lose.

Nice try BTW by Cundiff.

[baltimore_hokie]

I'd honestly just jumped in the air thinking that was through....

I think we all did.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

THAT WAS FUCKING PATHETIC!!

This team sucks ass at the end of games.

Dumb penalties...blowing blocks...fumbling the ball...taking sacks...just unreal and pathetic.

[TTRaven]

Ray Rice has to pick up Farrior on the blitz.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Great job by the team getting that kick off and good effort by Cundiff. I guess this is a "thrilling" game but not because of mutual brilliance of play.

[Dade]

i think my heart just exploded.

[UKRavenGordon]

Do not blitz Dixon, give him zones and make them run on us.

[Stumpy]

I'll be back... I have to go throw up

[Sephy]

Incredible nuts on Cundiff - pretty kick but not enough leg :(

[StingerNLG]

And the Steelers get the ball.

I cannot take much more of this. If we lose this game I do not want to hear anyone tell me "we still have a chance to make the playoffs".

[baltimore_hokie]

This team can't win the big game, that comes from the top down.

Stupid penalties, no composure, no guts. That ALL starts with Harbaugh.

[Dade]

I'd honestly just jumped in the air thinking that was through....

Everyone did.

[StingerNLG]

Incredible nuts on Cundiff - pretty kick but not enough leg :(

Look at the bright side, there is no way anyone realistically could say "Stover would have made that".

[Sephy]

And the Steelers get the ball.

I cannot take much more of this. If we lose this game I do not want to hear anyone tell me "we still have a chance to make the playoffs".

If we lose, we pretty much don't. Unless we win every other game and a lot of things go our way.

[Dade]

Incredible nuts on Cundiff - pretty kick but not enough leg :(

My God would that had been an incredible finish if he made it.

[TTRaven]

I'd honestly just jumped in the air thinking that was through....

That thing was on a rope right through the middle. Too bad Cundiff didn't have the leg strength.

[Everything_Ravens]

This time can't win the big game, that comes from the top down.

Stupid penalties, no composure, no guts. That ALL starts with Harbaugh.


composure def!!! but the 4th and 5 call is why we are here!

[Flipping Birdie]

Look at the bright side, there is no way anyone realistically could say "Stover would have made that".

:word:rocking:

[myfavoriteboxer]

deep breaths... deep breaths...

[Dade]

Look at the bright side, there is no way anyone realistically could say "Stover would have made that".

:word

[StingerNLG]

My heart just went through my throat. Chris Carr is worthless in coverage.

[UKRavenGordon]

Right thats job one done.

Now is our turn.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

I cannot take much more of this. If we lose this game I do not want to hear anyone tell me "we still have a chance to make the playoffs".

I'm sure we'll hear more of "we were close and played a top team so close" stories..."we are so close to being an elite team"...and all that other crap.

[USVIRavensfan]

Need lots more rum!!!!!!!

[StingerNLG]

Notice who had the coverage on Holmes again.

That would be Lardarius Webb.

I really like this kid. He is only going to get better.

[TTRaven]

That's a catch!

[Stumpy]

How can that catch not be reviewed?

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Real bad 3 and out...

[StingerNLG]

Oh man, and the refs even screw us mid play!!!!

[Dade]

Is it me or did that ref run into Kelley's route almost on purpose.

[CRZA938]

Is it me or did that ref run into Kelley's route almost on purpose.

He definitely affected his route.

[TTRaven]

Kruger!

[Stumpy]

Kreuger!!!!!

[myfavoriteboxer]

Hey, what do you know, it's Paul Kruger.

[Sephy]

PAUL MOTHER FUCKING KRUGER!!!!!!!

yess!!!!!!!!!

[StingerNLG]

Kruger!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pick!!!!

Excellent Hands!!

[Flipping Birdie]

Kruger!!!!!!

[UKRavenGordon]

If he never makes another contribution for this team again then he's still worth the second rounder.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

[ravenfan83]

Kruger!

[USVIRavensfan]

Holy Shit!!!!! Was that Kruger????

[StingerNLG]

Hold

on

to

the

ball!!

[Raveninwoodlawn]

There's the rookie!!!!!

[CRZA938]

Krugerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Dade]

Thank God for Paul Kruger.

[Stumpy]

I might have to buy a new Jersey!!!

[Stumpy]

Can I get one that says Rice and Kruger???

[TTRaven]

Let Rice win this game!

[StingerNLG]

It's the Ray Rice show!

[Aces2Bluff]

talk about a heart attack game... kick the fucking field goal

[Stumpy]

Cundiff... earn that contract!!!

[ravenfan83]

Yessss!!!!!!

[myfavoriteboxer]

I would've liked to see this end on a Rice TD, but what the hell, I'll just take the win at this point.

[Aces2Bluff]

Hell yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[UKRavenGordon]

Three times those bastards broke my heart last year. I'm begging for this!



YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[Stumpy]

Holy SHIT!!!!

[mjones73]

Come on Billy, field goal for the win!!!

[Sephy]

We're back! Kinda!

Paul Fucking Kruger!!

[Flipping Birdie]

Special thanks to Webb and Kruger. I got rookie love tonight.

[StingerNLG]

Oh thank G-D!!!!!!!

Congrats Billy Cundiff. You have won the game for us.

Thank you Paul Kruger. You have won this game for us.

Thank you Ray Rice. You have won this game for us.

[darb72]

Good grief I'm exhausted

[Dade]

Ravens win. And still I dont feel good about our chances down the line.

[Flipping Birdie]

We're back! Kinda!



:34853_lolpoint:

[ravenfan83]

OMG What a game! Love them Ravens.

[RavenDavey]

Another Epic and I am WHIPPED!!!!

[myfavoriteboxer]

Well, we are rewarded for our middling effort with another meaningful game, next Monday in Lambeau. Can't wait.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

YESSSSS!!!!

At one point...we had 3 rookies out there...Webb made a big play on the Steelers last drive of regulation (almost had a pick 6) and Kruger had the big INT...great hands by the big guy!

Bout time we had a big time win in a close game!

[Sephy]

No love for Joe Flacco? He had his ups and downs, but dude was 23/35 for 289 yards and a TD. 66% completion. Sacked 5 times, hurt.

But it looked like he erased the demons of last year. And last game.

[Dade]

These are my MVP's tonight:

Kruger, Webb, Rice, Cundiff

[RavenScallywag]

Can we hold off the negativity for one night at least?

We got the win...Defense played good, Offense played okay, ST was good...we found a way to win it. Against a division opponent, against the STEELERS moreso.

I will take it, and pick things apart tomorrow.

[StingerNLG]

Ravens win. And still I dont feel good about our chances down the line.

Me either. We let Dennis Dixon hang with us through overtime.

Next week in GB, you have to put Webb on their #1 receiver.

[CRZA938]

Can I get one that says Rice and Kruger???

Hahaha! Ray is a stud and that was a very atheletic interception by Kruger!

[StingerNLG]

Agreed. Flacco made a couple bad throws, but overall he was absolutely solid.

[CRZA938]

Me either. We let Dennis Dixon hang with us through overtime.

Next week in GB, you have to put Webb on their #1 receiver.

I agree. Nothing seems to be too big for Webb. What a baller.

[CRZA938]

Amen!

[CRZA938]

I think Yanda made a huge difference in the run game..

[UKRavenGordon]

Guys, it's 5am and I am beat!

Was fun sharing this with you all!

I'm going to bed!

[USVIRavensfan]

NEED MORE RUM!!!!!!! Jacked up on adreniline. A win is a win. I'll take it, along with another SHOT!!!!!

[StingerNLG]

I agree. Nothing seems to be too big for Webb. What a baller.

Notice after a while Dixon stopped looking his way. He had Hines Ward in the slot a few times and Ward got nothing.

Ward only got 3 catches tonight.

[myfavoriteboxer]

So essentially, we win this game because Dixon, though he correctly threw at Chris Carr who had been beaten by the receiver, pulled a Brady Quinn and threw it out of bounds.

Now since Dixon blew the game at the end, let's look for some more Whines Hard trashing of Ben in the press. Third straight loss; let the implosion begin! Too bad they get the Raiders at home next week, that's basically a Get a Win Free card.

[RvnFanInIndy]

Me either. We let Dennis Dixon hang with us through overtime....

I'm not surprised....you have an exceptionally athletic QB out there, with a very good offense around him, and you have absolutely NO idea what he can do, by virtue of having no tape on him. He was the ultimate X factor tonight, and personally, I think we handled him well....considering our weakness no defense.

[Raveninwoodlawn]

Ravens win. And still I dont feel good about our chances down the line.

I kinda feel that way too, but after blowing so many games like this, I am thrilled to come out with a win.

Got to play much better in the next couple weeks though...as I'm sure we all know.

[Dade]

Me either. We let Dennis Dixon hang with us through overtime.

Next week in GB, you have to put Webb on their #1 receiver.

Yes Webb is the number 1 DB from here on out.

[CRZA938]

Notice after a while Dixon stopped looking his way. He had Hines Ward in the slot a few times and Ward got nothing.

Ward only got 3 catches tonight.

He pretty much shut out Dallas Clark last week as well, didn't he? Regardless, whoever he took tonight he was all over them.

Well, a wins a win. I'll take it...

[Everything_Ravens]

[4G63]

I'm still pissed about that missed PI call on Mason....we would have been 1st and Goal at the 1 and taken it in. Another blown call that could have cost us a game....:thumbdown:

Maybe not. Teams have slept on Oakland this year, Eagles and Cincy.

[myfavoriteboxer]

Maybe not. Teams have slept on Oakland this year, Eagles and Cincy.

That's true, but both of those teams slept on them in the Black Hole, after a coast-to-coast flight. The chances of Oakland winning at Pitt are pretty close to zero.

[BmoreBrawla]

Look at it this way, Baltimore has played Indy and NE and Pitt has not, yet we are both 6-5. :D

Don't look at it this way: Steelers have a very doable 5 game winning streak upcoming and the Ravens do not. :mad:

[RavensDomination]

Can we hold off the negativity for one night at least?

Simply not possible for certain posters. We could have won 50-0 and people would be complaining about Cundiff's kick offs or Cam Cameron's choice of thermal undershirt.
