the game changed when......

I don't know about missed ints but way too many completions because the defender was trying for a pick and missed or trying for a ball separating hit instead of defending the pass. For all Ramsey's skill if he plays that ball to defend a desperation pass instead of a pick its a better situation.

 

I keep seeing that stat. The Ravens only ran 21 plays in the second half last night. Only 3 of those plays were run when they were tied, the rest were from behind.

First series (tied)- Henry run, incomplete pass, interception.
Second series (down 3)- Henry run, Henry run, run, offsides (2nd and 16), incomplete, 8 yard pass.
Third series (down 3)- pass, Henry run, Jackson run, 50 yard td pass on 4th and 1.
Forth series (down 3)- Henry run, 8 yd pass, 64 yd pass td.
Fifth series (down 2, 55 seconds on the clock)- 5 passes, Jackson -2 yard run, missed fg.

Where exactly do you get Henry any more carries?

 

18 yards this game. 17 yards Cleveland. Lions -3 yards. Dolphins -20 yards. Last 4 games. Plus at least 15 yards of penalties.

 

let's win a playoff game....

 

DORK

 

Yes it did. Rats were unworthy. It was fate.

 

Samuel was the one playing zone when the rest of the defense was playing man.

 

I think it's better if DK doesn't get fired up....heck he may climb into the stands next time.

 

DORK - you are a clown.

We won maybe the worst DIV in football. Maybe, altho CAR / TB may be worse.

LET'S ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING, you Clowns......

all 4 teams in our DIV are weak. It was a race to the bottom for most of the year......let's see if you show up if we go another year w/o a playoff win.

 

DORK

 

Major mistake by Harbaugh. I also would gave Henry the ball for last 2 plays to get closer especially with Time outs available.

 

The concussion play was also DPI against him that wasn't called. He nailed the WR in the head early, then got taken out by the other DB.

It was a good outcome, but could have been great if the refs actually called the DPI.

 

Hamilton went out in the Secondary, but I thought they were running really good with Warren.

They could have gone heavy with the run last night and still found success.

I'm surprised they din't give Warren the ball more in the Redzone.

 

100%

 

Don't have the stats but from memory of watching this game, and not just one play, but when the Steelers picked up decent 1st down yardage (mainly Warren), they seemed to thrive vs 2nd or 3rd and long where they seem to be lost. Play calling or momentum?

 

100% spot on. I thought the exact same thing on the latter play when he didn't pull him to the ground that cost us massive yards by not getting the grasp or sack!! Dmsned if you do damned if you don’t.

 

Being a kicker the player more than likely rely’s on massage therapy and once word got out it was probably difficult hiring one.

 

Its okay to give the Steelers credit for winning the division before the playoff game. If the Steelers are to get a playoff win then regular season success is necessary. This team was picked to finish 3rd or 4th in the division, they were supposed to miss the playoffs and hand Tomlin his first losing season. Instead they are the division champs. Some people will never be satisified, it will be:

If we can make playoffs
If we can win the division
If we can win a playoff game
If we can win a playoff game against a non wilcard team.
If we can win afc championship
If we can win a Superbowl
If we can repeat

It wont matter, the goal post will just keep shifting.

 

Steelers deserve credit last night I’m going to enjoy that for a couple days at least. Home Playoff Game and I think we got a shot. CJ Stroud hasn’t been the same since his rookie year.

 

years ago my niece worked the front desk at a Baltimore massage studio. She never knew why at the time but was told that Tucker was not allowed to make an appointment. When the news broke last year, she found out why.

 

Don't look now but Tomlin living in his fear of the MOF may be changing before our eyes:

 

Since I often talk about the effect injuries have on the Steelers, do I get to say that Hamilton's injury was likely the difference in the game?

 

That is why I have a hard time complaining about the coverage on that play even if it did put Queen in an impossible position. It shouldn't have mattered.
