My thoughts on reg season wk 18

shaky????? c'mon AQL. cook had another good game. not sure what you are seeing. he's number 60.

 

On the last play of the half. Looking at it and everyone is saying AR has to check out of it. Did they have a TO left?

Play clock was running down and Smith comes all the way across on his motion. I don't think he was supposed to though. I have to believe he's supposed to see if it goes with and if not stop and come back before getting all the way across. He looked like he wasn't supposed to be that side and Pat was just looking like, what the hell was I supposed to do against 2? I can see that working with Washington, not Pat.

 

ravens injuries and penalties had a big effect on this game. we really played sloppy in coverage. i can see one time someone getting deep in a blown coverage but 3 times is a huge problem. two of those were their best receiver uncovered or being covered deep by our ILB. that is coaching in game 17 week 18. ramsey is the FS. nobody should be behind him down the middle of the field once let alone 3 times. he also wanted no parts of tackling henry.

MT after the lead back celebrating with the players with near 4 minutes left in the game and not coaching just sits wrong with me. then pounding his chest and blowing a kiss walking off the field after the game. coach football and not players. act like you have been there. he's a friggin joke win or not. hate to tell you, you got lucky.

 

Boz could easily been the one with egg on his face! If he makes the extra point atleast if Lupe makes FG we still have over time to win it.

 

Ravens should have won that game. Our defense almost blew it. Week 18 and we still have an ILB covering their best WR. Jalen Ramsey has been awful the last few weeks.

 

You know I just can't get mad at BOZ. We won by 2, that 57 yarder was huge. Besides, I'm not sure a lot of us would have survived OT if it'd have turned out that way.

 

Sure the hell better straighten out our secondary. I was screaming F while ball was in the air cause you could see their receivers were wide open.

 

Thank you blackandgoldpatrol for your usual solid analysis.

Another AFC North barn burner. Two average teams going for the division. And of course it comes down to the last seconds.

Without that last second lucky miss the games gaffs would have been magnified 100x and heads would want to be chopped off.

Now the competition goes up a notch. Against the #1 defense in the league.

I temper my excitement. Hopefully we don't have the usual movie rerun...

 

More importantly
The stands were filled to the end.
The weren't any real chants of "Fire Tomlin"

And Aaron Rogers was awesome.

 

It's unbelievable because I was thinking the same thing as the kick sailed right! If they had timeouts Tomlin probably tries to ice him and he gets a second chance and nails it.

It was just our time!

 

I don't remember where I posted this thought.... but when the season comes down to the last play of the last game, and the Steelers win to make the playoffs, and send the Ravens packing for summer break, that is the perfect season for me. The rest was just part of the ride. WOW!!!!

 

Aaron Rodgers was money last night. If it weren't for him, Steelers would have lost by 2 scores.

Best December/January Steelers QB performance since Roethlisberger in the 2010's.

 

Immediately after the miss, I told my wife that I felt bad for him because that was a soul crushing moment for him. Suicide watch level of OMG. I was also thinking that Boz would have been the guy feeling like that if he had made the kick since Boz missed the extra point.

3 cheers for Baltimore area masseuses.......because Justin Tucker makes that kick 100% of the time.

 

I was thinking that too.

 

I don't agree with this at all...I thought the Steelers were the better team for most of the game. Outside of the first quarter or so and the two Flowers plays, the Steelers played well. Some questionable play calling in the first half for sure.

 

Stroud is more than capable of torching Ramsey/secondary like LJ did. Hope they clean that up this week.

 

The Steelers outgained the Ravens
Won the turnover battle
Had more sacks

 

Stroud OL is one of the worst in the league and they won't have to stack the box to stop the run.

 

I think the blown coverages were the fact that the Steelers kept 5 on the line and focused on not letting Henry run.....
It's bad when you see Queen on Flowers.

Bigger question in my head is how did those two miss that sack? Gotta tackle better than that.

 

Give Rodgers more defective helmets and let him call his own plays.

 

Steelers outgained the Ravens? Steelers closed the gap in the 4th.... it felt like Ravens racked up big time yards. Especially the busted coverage plays.

 

Let's just get the pope a ticket

 

They outgained the Ravens by about 30 yards.
