Steeler's patchwork O-Line getting exposed here. Can barely get any protection. Tough for me to watch as a fan, but you gotta find a way to get it done. Receivers are getting open, but no time at all to throw.
Not sure what the fuck Tomlin was thinking on his challenges. Perplexing really.
I didn't see the kickoff but I'm pretty sure he won the first one, and the second you HAVE to challenge because that play is an absolute game-changer if stood.

He won the first one, but it's 12 yards, 20 seconds into a game. The second one, I can't blame him for challenging. I thought it was pretty clearly a fumble, but I cant speak to what views they have of it. The first one though, for 12 yards, I'm keeping that flag in my pocket.

FUCK the Steelers got the ball.

Pass Pro is the king. Steeler's receivers are getting open. Roethlisberger just needs time to find them.

This game is so sloppy. Pressure getting to them.

Woulda been boring if Steelers didn't score. As much as I'd like the Ravens to win, I'd like to see a good game.

I'm a bit tired of hearing people rag on Pitt's line troubles. Maybe if that idiot threw the ball away faster, or if the WR's got open faster.... Jay Cutler took six sacks in the game vs the Packers, three of them, at least, were entirely on him for not getting out of the pocket, and throwing the ball away. Ben typically has more than the needed time to throw the ball, he just doesn't. He pumped TWICE on that fumble recovery for a TD.

Sure, he can throw it away, but if you want to be more productive you're going to have to get better protection. He definitely holds the ball too long sometimes, but he's got a 2nd/3rd string right tackle, a 2nd string left tackle and a 2nd string guard.

Yeah, he holds the ball entirely too long, entirely too often. This isn't a new thing for Ben. He's done it since he came into the league. People were blaming the line in his third year, too, after the first Super Bowl, and they had one of the best OLines in the game. He was able to get away with holding the ball a bit more back then, because he'd normally only get one guy, but now more are breaking through.
Ben is completely overrated for that simple fact. If he threw the ball faster, he would make up for the deficiencies of the line. I admit, the line is not the line of the 05ish Steelers, but it's not as bad as so many people claim, either. I think that almost half the blame rests on Ben's inability to deliver timely passes. (EDIT: To be clear, I'm speaking in general, not to the specific line issues of tonight.)
With that said, Flacco is such garbage. Why would you make that throw?

I knew this game would be exciting, but holy shit!

What a gutsy fucking call on that 4th down. I thought there was no way they are going for that.
Granted, if he doesn't make that, I'm singing the other tune.
|
What the fuck Flacco? He avoided the sack and ran around like a chicken with no head, then ran out of bounds for a loss? Just throw it away...
Edit: Good job, Ravens special teams. -_-
