Steelers vs Ravens Gamethread

[BFo8]

Down two offensive linemen and the Ravens are just blowing the Stiller defense right off the ball.

Im moderately surprised by that. The way to beat the Ravens is simple, force Jackson to throw the ball.

Up to now they haven’t come even close to putting him in the 3rd and long spots that he struggles with.

 

[NGPittCali]

Offense needs to get that ball into the hands of playmakers.

 

[BFo8]

Hopefully that first down pass slipped, looked like he was throwing a bar of soap.

 

[PharMorNightStocker]

We really needed that run. Need to give the defense a freaking blow.

 

[NGPittCali]

Conner is doing well. Set it up baby.

 

[PharMorNightStocker]

Eek. I was hoping Ben would audible out of that 2nd down play. Just so obviously wasn't there.

 

[rmf05]

Steelers O is so stupid. They need to mix it up better.

 

[BFo8]

Need to luck into a personal foul call here.

 

[NGPittCali]

They need whipple.

 

[PharMorNightStocker]

I don't love them calling that contact against an official. There just wasn't much there.

Looked very accidental

Steelers O still gonna struggle against the Ravens practice squad.

 

[BFo8]

Can’t believe it took that long for the inevitable batted down ball.

 

[NGPittCali]

Ben has to establish Claypool here.

 

[PharMorNightStocker]

Steelers O still gonna struggle against the Ravens practice squad.

It's shocking we are only down 7.

 

[rmf05]

They need whipple.

It looks like they have Whipple-LOL!

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Good job by Berry there. Now the defense needs to step up.

 

[LeftCoastPanther]

Terrible to not take advantage of that penalty to get at least three points.

 

[PharMorNightStocker]

Good job by Berry there. Now the defense needs to step up.

Yeah, that was damn near a snap-6. Pitt receivers are envious.

 

[BFo8]

Seems like a lot to ask, but get a 3 and out here and a shot to have the final possession of the half in good field position.

Would like to see McCloud have a chance to get his hands on the ball as well.

 

[pittbb80]

Ruh roh. With that wobbly pass and him rubbing his elbow.

 

[pittbb80]

Geez they are falling forward for two yards

 

[rmf05]

They get an easy 3 yards every snap with a patchwork line.

 

[pittbb80]

Looks like losing Alualu was a big loss

 

[BFo8]

They just can’t get into position to force this guy to throw. Easy for backup offensive lineman to run block, totally different scenario having to pass block.

Of course you have to get them to 3rd down more than every once in a while though.

 

[NGPittCali]

The stiller are playing like shit.

 

[PharMorNightStocker]

Even when we sniff the play out they are picking up 3 or 4.

 

[PharMorNightStocker]

That's not a catch. But Baltimore should probably not throw it again unless they have to.

 

[BFo8]

Shit, we needed that very, very badly.

 

[NGPittCali]

Lamar is loose with the ball. Might be the only key ingredient here.

 

[pittbb80]

The picks are there if they can stop the run. That was not a pick but none the less Jackson doesn’t look good passing the ball

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

That's not an interception.

 

[pittbb80]

Lamar is loose with the ball. Might be the only key ingredient here.

Yup but you have to stop the run first

 

[rmf05]

Still a great play by Haden.

 

[NGPittCali]

I don't know the rules. Looks like a pick. But it did hit the ground.

 

[BFo8]

Neither of these QB’s really seem to know where the ball is going when they let it go today. Obviously that wasn’t a pick, but he somehow missed a short pass by about 3 yards.

 

[pittbb80]

Geeez.

 

[BFo8]

That play right there tells you everything you need to know about this 1st half. Everyone on the planet knew they were going to run it there, yet they still couldn’t come close to stopping it.

 

[NGPittCali]

Ridiculous. Hopefully the Stillers get their chit together at halftime. Need to stop them here.

 

[pittbb80]

Swiss cheese on D
