the game changed when......

Hamilton went out

my wife said "can one player have that much effect"?

She loved T Polamalu, I said "think back, if Troy went out in a playoff game...." It ALL CHANGES!

Hamilton is a stud.

The Rats did not know what to do once that happened.

What a final 5 minutes last night!

 

After all the negative crap you post, how dare you attempt to bask in the glory.

 

There were a few things that changed.
In the 2nd half, they eliminated Henry from the game.
Lamar did make some bonehead plays but those 2 plays overshadowed the bad.
One should have never happened... Steelers must tackle better (sack better)

 

Yeah, the whiff by Highsmith was one of the worst I've seen in quite some time.

 

This is true but the steelers were also without their best WR for the entire game.....The steelers had a great game on offense with Hamilton and DK both IN for the game in Baltimore one month ago

 

And the fact that Queen was against their best WR was a Keith Butler special

Too many blown coverage last night....at least 3.As if it was Butler was our DC last night

 

Yeah... we need either JPJ or Samuel on Texans best WR.

 

let's win a playoff game, you CLOWN

 

I’ve known Kyle since he was 7 years old. Great player and a really good person. It absolutely kills me that he plays for the Ravens.

 

the INT was weird, not Lamar's fault, per se.

Henry is a BEAST

 

A special thank you to those massage therapists. Tucker probably makes that FG.

 

Mind boggling

 

Sorry I've spoken.

 

Justin Tucker fell off a cliff last year. 73% FG made. They probably lose another game or 2 if he was still their kicker.

 

Henry was held in check, but Hairball was idiotic to abandon the run game. I think Henry only had 5 touches in the second half. That’s coaching malpractice

 

I hope it's not Boz's turn.

 

DORK

 

Agree. Henry should have had 29 touches in the 2nd half.

 

It wasn't just Highsmith. How the hell did Benton miss him?

 

Benton doesn't surprise me as much as Highsmith. He can't do that against elite teams and expect Steelers to win... need to get Maye, Nix, Stroud, Allen, Lawrence, Allen.. SACKED. Period.

 

a huge turning point was us going for it on 4th on our own 45 (or somewhere around there) - D only gave up 3 points. If they gave up 7 and we went down 14-0....don't think we pull this one off.

 

I said it before I will say it again, they have to play harder in 4th quarter on def. Giving up too many points and big plays it must stop...

 

With DK coming back --he should be all fired up and ready to play. Watch out Texans....

 

No, it really isn't. The Ravens barely had the ball in the third quarter. They ran only eight offensive plays. Two were runs by Henry. One was a second-and-16 after a penalty. Two were third downs when they needed at least 10 yards. If you want to argue that they shouldn't have rotated in the other back at all, that's fine, but remember that he burned the Steelers for a long run in the first meeting of these teams.

The Steelers stacked the line and sold out to stop the run and short passing game in the second half, especially the fourth quarter. The Ravens had the ball three times in the fourth quarter. They scored two touchdowns, then drove for what should have been a game-winning field goal in less than a minute. Sounds to me like they did exactly what they should have done.

 

They changed up against Henry before that. They largely shut him down after the first quarter. They did one of those things some fans claim the steelers coaches never vdo
