[SteelCityMan786]

Come On Tommy Nothin Stupid

[SteelCityMan786]

Morgan Nothing Stupid

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Its gonna take some time for Essex to get a feel for the game, and u gotta think we're gonna move some help over there for him on suggs..

[SteelCityMan786]

Let's Go D Big Stop Here!

[SteelCityMan786]

Alright Russ Walk It Off Man Walk it off

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Staley is inactive...

[SteelCityMan786]

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Nice Job Deshea

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

Nice pick.I guess, good thing he fell

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

Dfense is lookin good
Im use to us lookin bad the first drive or too.
I like this much better

[SteelCityMan786]

Nice Catch Dan

[TasmanianTroy271]

Geeze, here's my take on this game. Our only points are gonna come off of Defense. We need to either get turnovers or stop the Ratbirds in their territory so the run can hammer it in for points. I just hope Tommy doesnt screw this up too bad.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

they run that draw play way too much

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Damnit.. we tried that shovel pass last time against the ratbirds..didnt work then either!!

[SteelCityMan786]

Verron Quit messin around

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

is that challengable?

[SteelCityMan786]

down At The 1

[BlitzburghRockCity]

he downed it at the 1 inch line..and then stepped into the end zone.. we'll see.. its not a challengable play that i know of..

[SteelCityMan786]

is that challengable?


I am afraid that the ball spot is challengeable. I wouldn't be surprised If Brian Pillick Challenges.

[24seven]

how long do you have to stand there with the ball!!!! He had possession and he was stopped for a second or 2.. BS if they move it.
THE PLAY CALLING IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! Comeon OC GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASSES!!!!!! CALL SOME REAL PLAYS!!!!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

DAMNIT >.. THat shit is wrong.. he downed it !!!!! WTF !!!!!!!!!

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

that sucks

[SteelCityMan786]

Hey Winters Can You Stop Being A Favor Ref

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

that sucks
It should be where the player touches the ball.
They cant touch it at the 15 yard line and have foward progress carry them to the 10 can they
BULL SHIT

[SteelCityMan786]

DAMNIT >.. THat shit is wrong.. he downed it !!!!! WTF !!!!!!!!!

Winters is A anything that Does bad things to the Steelers Ref AT THIS POINT

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Nice play Chris... Huge tackle !!!

[SteelCityMan786]

Stuffed In The Back Heap Bobble 3 And Out

[BlitzburghRockCity]

I wonder how many punts we're gonna have in this game !!!!

[SteelCityMan786]

That hit on BollerCould be on Jacked Up

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

put in Big ben for one drive so we can score, and our defense can take it from there!!!

[SteelCityMan786]

Bull Shit That Penalty Was Made Up

[SteelCityMan786]

Ok guys lets take this ball down field and SCORE

[BlitzburghRockCity]

put in Big ben for one drive so we can score, and our defense can take it from there!!!


:iagree: :iagree:

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

i would love to convert this one

[SteelCityMan786]

MADDOX What did I say. Quit it with the Stupid stuff

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Man this is one ugly offensive game so far...

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

thats bull,
Tommy should be prepared every week
AND THAT DOESNT SUPRISE ME!!!!!!!!

[24seven]

Maddox Strikes Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

Its going to be a defensive battle all day and what ever defense can put the ball in the endzone is going to win the game

[RichmondVA]

Expect to play better Tommy... Good... You couldn't play any worse than you did last time!

[SteelCityMan786]

Aggreed 24seven. I am getting pissed off.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

That was close

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

he shoujld hav elaid int ohim

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon D.. we need ya man..... !!!!!!!!!!!

[SteelCityMan786]

Hey Foote Mind Keeping The Offense Behind The 1st Down Line Or Line Of Scrimmage!

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

Taylor is going to be a shut down corner in years to come
I really think hes going to be good considering this is his first year starting....

[SteelCityMan786]

Come On Guys We Need You Guys To Make A STOP HERE!

[SteelCityMan786]

Hold Em D Hold Em

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

lets move the ball down field, when was the last time we didnt score any points in the first quarter????

[SteelCityMan786]

Alright Guys No More Than a Field Goal

[BlitzburghRockCity]

normally u'd call this game a good defensive stuggle.. but its more like the story of 2 poor offenses' this week!

[SteelCityMan786]

Aggreed BRC

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

how long does maddox think he has back there?

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Yep its time for the Bus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! comon jerome, give us a spark!

[bangpow]

Maddox blows!

That is all.

[SteelCityMan786]

Alright Guys Make Em Pay!!!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Maddox looks like a duck outta water when he runs w/ it!!

[SteelCityMan786]

Miller Is Lighting Up 1st Down!

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

ya gotta love heath.
i wish sanders would have tried to tackle him a little higher

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

he would have been gone if it wasnt underthrown

[BlitzburghRockCity]

OH Hell yeah !!!!!! Now thats how you do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SteelCityMan786]

Hines Has Got All The Varities For A



first Down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

maddox should be traded for a pair of cleets for the bus

[SteelCityMan786]

Get The Pass Off Tommy An Incomplete Pass Is Better Than A Sack

[BlitzburghRockCity]

well that was awesome..then it was ugly................

[BlitzburghRockCity]

OK way to go Jeff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SteelCityMan786]

SPLITS THE UPRIGHTS!

Nice Job Jeff

[Rotorhead]

I think if we get in the red zone from now one, just kick a field goal, even on first down, cause turnover tommy will just move backwards . . . moron

[SteelCityMan786]

I think if we get in the red zone from now one, just kick a field goal, even on first down, cause turnover tommy will just move backwards . . . moron


That's Because Tommy is a Bit Of A Moron. When he does stuff right I have NO PROBLEMS

[Koopa]

damn maddox sucks ass. just plain sucks. finally gets a chance to do something good and then he chokes.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

well the important thing is is that its all tied up

[BlitzburghRockCity]

our ST is pretty sorry so far in this game..we're allowing way too many return yards!

[SteelCityMan786]

Quit Giving Them God Damn Field Position Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rotorhead]

that is what i meant, tommy is a moron hehe, i think instead of risking that moron making a turnover, we should just kick an FG and get the points haha

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

So, do we want the bengals to lose so that we pick up a game on them or do we want the colts to lose so we could have the chance for home field adv.

[Rotorhead]

Colts to lose I think, the Bungles will take care of themselves when they play us again.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

there was holding there

[SteelCityMan786]

Quit Just Giving Them Damn Yardage Make Em Earn It Come Guys Hold Em!!!!!!!!

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

i would keep taylor and get rid of Lewis

[BlitzburghRockCity]

OH HELL YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fumble !!!!!!!! Our ball !!

[Rotorhead]

We are making Boller look like a damned MVP, lets go D

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

good job D.......
I love it.

[Koopa]

we need a new kicker for kickoffs, cause reed has no boot on him what so ever.

[RichmondVA]

Raven Ball. Shoot

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

ya but hes money of field goals....

[Rotorhead]

Dammit, what happened, NFL sais it was a fumble?

[Koopa]

damn it i hate when i can't see the games and i have to follow it on this damn nfl gametracker. thank god the d stepped up, cause if they scored this game might've been done cause we have the worse back up to ever suit up for a team starting today. and why the hell can't willie do shit?

[Rotorhead]

I with you Koop

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

i think their looking at boller tripping

[SteelCityMan786]

BULL SHIT


Oh well Casey Got A Sack

[BlitzburghRockCity]

First time I wish a sack didnt count!!!!!!! Damnit !!

[Rotorhead]

So what is happening

[SteelCityMan786]

Over Board!!!!!!!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

So what is happening

timeout..with the ratbirds 3rd and goal from the 4

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

hold them one more time D

[Rotorhead]

What happened with the fumble that apparently wasn't?

[SteelCityMan786]

Lets Ice Em

[Koopa]

wtf??????? i thought the fumble was upheld?

[SteelCityMan786]

Son Of A *****

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

damn...
im not sure maddox can bring us donw the field

[Rotorhead]

Come on Steelers, what is up!

[Koopa]

i hope maddox house gets burned down, just for being on our team, cause even though the d sucked ass and allowed this shit to happen, if ben or batch or ARE or a ravens fan was starting at qb we'd have a nice lead

[Rotorhead]

apparently it was not upheld like nfl.com said, i hate this stupid program

[clevestinks]

What the &^$*^%$&^%*&^&%(*&%)*&^(*%(*&*&%(*&%:redface:

[SteelCityMan786]

Quit Running Into Purple Uniforms Find Some Wide Open Real Estate!

[Livinginthe past]

NFL.com just changed its mind and altered it to 'reversed'.

Looks like the running game (or lack of one) that is the problem - not Maddox at QB.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

just take his ass our right now.
put in randel el. heins ward, i dont care if Hampton is in there

[SteelCityMan786]

I Want Antwaan In Now!

[Livinginthe past]

If you think things are bad here- we just gave up 28 yards on a 3rd and 20...from what was basically a screen pass.

[Rotorhead]

well with Maddox at QB you can put 11 on the line and stuff the run, everyone knows he can not through.

[SteelCityMan786]

Cedric


Quit Dropping Passes


Maddox


Don't Always Throw Deep And Make Better Passes

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

there killin us with PI

[Koopa]

NFL.com just changed its mind and altered it to 'reversed'.

Looks like the running game (or lack of one) that is the problem - not Maddox at QB.


there ain't no running game because maddox is playing, and a pop warner team wouldn't even worry about him throwing it

[Rotorhead]

Thanks for giving this game away too MAddox, he needs to be CUT after this game, or better yet, right NOW!

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

Past!!
who are the pats playin today

[clevestinks]

Cedric has done squat this season.

Maddox lets get it going already.

[SteelCityMan786]

How The **** Do They Expect To Win With This Bad Of Playing Despite Penalties

[Koopa]

well, we better pray that the colts beat the hell out of the bengals and ben can play next week cause maddox f'n sucks, and most the time i'm messin around when i say someone needs to get hurt but i wouldn't mind seeing maddox laying on the ground motionless for about ten mins and then has to retire

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

i want to see ben walk out on the field!!

[SteelCityMan786]

it's A Fumble!!!!!



Come On Guys Take Advantage And Nice Job Deshea

[clevestinks]

Did we think Maddox was good once upon a time??

Was it only because he replaced Stewart?

What were we thinking?

[Livinginthe past]

We are playing thre freaking Saints - 14-7 up but should have been much easier.

Brady got hit and fumbled they drove in for a TD (converting 3rd and 20 and 3rd and 11)

Our D still sucks.

[Rotorhead]

hahahahahahaahh yeah what Koop said

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

put the gun away and run the ball.
everytime maddox throws i cringe

[clevestinks]

Bring in El just for a series to see!

What is up with Willie Parker?

[SteelCityMan786]

That Was Not Damn False Start It Was Offsides

[Cape Cod Steel Head]

Why are they letting him throw. Put Randel El in.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

maddox was good once, then a rookie named Ben Roethliseberger come to the steelers and showed s what a QB was suppose to do for a team

[clevestinks]

We are playing thre freaking Saints - 14-7 up but should have been much easier.

Brady got hit and fumbled they drove in for a TD (converting 3rd and 20 and 3rd and 11)

Our D still sucks.

Your defense sucks? How about our letting Boller look like a All Pro, and Anthony Wright look like all pro three weeks ago.

[Koopa]

hhmmmmmmmmmmmmm......how come maddox gets to throw a lot, but when a real qb (ben) is playing he throws two times a half? this sucks, at least let bettis run cause willie ain't done shit since the texans game

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

how many completions doens maddox have?
3?

[SteelCityMan786]

SPLITS THE UPRIGHTS IT'S GOOD!


Guys We can't rely on Reed to get every damn point

[24seven]

I almost can't watch anymore.. this is flippin rediculous.. Maddox is a joke and I've been able to predict almost every play of that drive.. If they run the screen one more time i'm turning the channel.. this is unbearable to watch!!!!!

[Koopa]

does maddox know when it's third down you are supposed to throw over the line of scrimmage???????? damn it, i hate maddox and i hope bill cowher takes out his knees on the way to the lockerroom

[Rotorhead]

OK NFL is saying we just make an 83yard FG, wtf is that all about?

[Livinginthe past]

Your defense sucks? How about our letting Boller look like a All Pro, and Anthony Wright look like all pro three weeks ago.

Looks like we both have underachieving Defenses at the moment - i was told that the Steelers letting poor teams convery so many 3rd and longs was a new aggressive technique for letting their offense stay on the field...so you can force turnovers....im not convinced my self !

NM

[clevestinks]

We need TD`s not FG

[SteelCityMan786]

It's Like we Can do NOTHING RIGHT

[SteelProven]

Why are they letting this guy (Saddux) passes like he's the next coming of Marino. I guess they have seen this guys track record. He's not even above 50% completion for his career. Just run the ball and play good defense and see what happens. I don't want this game to get out of hand becuz idiot throws a pick6.

[clevestinks]

If Ben doesnt come back soon, we are screwed!

Hell Batch for President!

[Rotorhead]

Can someone explain the fieldgoal, espn states we just made a 93yd FG and NFL.com says it was an 83yd FG, Reed is good, but c'mon

[Koopa]

how many completions doens maddox have?
3?

he's 5 of 13

[clevestinks]

I hope Tommy sells insurance better than he throws a football.

Back to State farm for him

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

that the hell has happened to our run defense

[Livinginthe past]

Looks like the Pitts D has finally run out of steam - the offense is asking it to do alot of work.

Dont despair too much my Steelers friends - as long as you are within 7 points Boller will likely give up a big turnover.

[clevestinks]

Can someone explain the fieldgoal, espn states we just made a 93yd FG and NFL.com says it was an 83yd FG, Reed is good, but c'mon

I believe it was 37 yards.

With Tommy playing qb, if Reed could kick 93 yards maybe we would be winning!:grin:

[Rotorhead]

So are we trying to handicap the game, they start at the 50 or better everytime we kick . . .

[Koopa]

well, from what i'm seeing on nfl.com, our D don't want to win this game.........damn maddox brings down the whole team.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

he's 5 of 13
Ben get 13 attempts all game. tommy must have jacked someone off.

[clevestinks]

Come on defense!

[Rotorhead]

that woud explain his crappy throwing ability, his arm is tired from jacking everyone off!

[SteelerFanInATL]

Come on D, 2 and 10 with 41 sec til the half

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

:rofl: that woud explain his crappy throwing ability, his arm is tired from jacking everyone off!well at least he can make excuses now

[SteelCityMan786]

Quit Playing Like ********

[24seven]

our defense is sucking maybe worse than our offense... There letting Taylor gain 10 yards a carry and Boller is completing 75 percent of the time but who couldn't the receivers are wide freakin OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. Parker must have gotten hurt again cause he's only ran 2 times.. Now Bettis comes in to just stand there and watch Maddox throw to the turf.. This has got to be the worst overall Steelers performance I've seen in my 28 years watching them..

[Koopa]

I hope Tommy sells insurance better than he throws a football.

Back to State farm for him

i don't, i hope everything he does after he gets cut flops, and he ends up living on the streets while his wife leaves him for someone with talent and his kids disown him

[Rotorhead]

Geez i had some hope that Maddox's poor performance in Jacksonville was just a fluke, it is time for him to take the money he made and quit, he is the worst QB in the league by a long way. Why the hell are we letting him through it so much! What happened to run run run then through when it is easier!

[SteelCityMan786]

This Is Unneccessary

[Koopa]

our defense is sucking maybe worse than our offense... There letting Taylor gain 10 yards a carry and Boller is completing 75 percent of the time but who couldn't the receivers are wide freakin OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. Parker must have gotten hurt again cause he's only ran 2 times.. Now Bettis comes in to just stand there and watch Maddox throw to the turf.. This has got to be the worst overall Steelers performance I've seen in my 28 years watching them..


like livin said, they are being asked to do to much, not their fault they get 30 seconds of rest. it's maddox fault they are playin like shit.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

let ben throw a pass or 2 down field for the last 2 plays of the half just to see how his knee feels
oor jsut to let the ravens think a bit more in the locker room

[SteelerFanInATL]

Good job defense only gave up 3 pts. If the offense can get into the endzone we will be ok.

[Rotorhead]

Well Cowher better chew some ass during the half! Special teams are terrible, D is sucking, and the game plan all the sudden changes to 90% passing with the worst passer there ever was!

[SteelerFanInATL]

Alright now, lets go in and regroup for the second half.

[24seven]

I can't even watch Maddox jog off the field.. He underachieves even at that!!

[clevestinks]

Only three points???? This is a 2-7 team with Boller at qb? They suck and just drove on us with NO problem!

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

Does maddox start in the second half???????

[SteelerFanInATL]

The run game is not working. No holes to run the ball.

[Koopa]

i hope everyone in the lockerroom ignores maddox and makes him feel like shit and then he runs in to the showers and hangs himself

[Rotorhead]

Well they have only really driven half the field everytime, stupid kick coverage needs to pick it up!

[TasmanianTroy271]

what really sucks is El can't come in until the 4th quarter, thats the rules with a 3rd QB...

[24seven]

well when you don't run the ball It's pretty hard to tell there's no run game.. There's only no run game because WERE NOT RUNNING THE BALL!!!!!!

[SteelerFanInATL]

Does maddox start in the second half???????

Yes, if nothing improves maybe Ben.

[Koopa]

The run game is not working. No holes to run the ball.

cause with maddox playing there is no point at all to play the pass, hell they can just take out all the dbs and just bring everyone up to the line and they'll still stop maddox from completeing a pass

[Cape Cod Steel Head]

10 yards. rushing are you kidding me?

[Rotorhead]

Now that we are behind, we are going to continue passing too . . . this just sucks

[shevdog]

Let's get back to running the ball.

Get Maddox out of there.

We should be in the lead. Just no execution.

[Rotorhead]

I think I hate Maddox worse the Koop . . . if that is even possible

[SteelProven]

Why in the hell did we only run the ball 8x's!!! I understand that the ravens don't respect our pass, but this is bullshyt.

[SteelerFanInATL]

We are only down 1td, we can still give the run game a shot.

[clevestinks]

Ben ought to walk up to walk up to Tommy and say" Dude You Suck"

[Livinginthe past]

Steelers are only 7 behind - no need to abandon the run second half - I think Cowher will try and commit to it a bit more then.

The Ravens D might well be having the sort of game that it has been promising all year - but as much as they are putting together long drives they simply arent putting enough points on the board.

NM

[Atlanta Dan]

We all knew Maddox was terrible - what this game confirms is that the D has dropped way off from last year.

Giving up 13 points (and it could have been worse!) to this offense is a disgrace.

Porter is once again a non-factor and both Haggans and Foote have been exposed in pass coverage. Without Farrior these linebackers are lost.

Better hope Indy beats the Bengals to remain tied for division lead.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

put ben in and for a few snaps and then randel el can step in and play.
tell the refs that tommy fell in the locker room and hurt his pinky

[SteelProven]

The only good thing is we only given up 1 sack and concrete feet only got sacked once on 14 drop backs.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

were not gnna win with maddox,
we cant run if we cant threaten the pass

[Atlanta Dan]

Why in the hell did we only run the ball 8x's!!! I understand that the ravens don't respect our pass, but this is bullshyt.

When they put 8 in the box you pass, but that assumes your QB is not a statue whose arm is shot. As New England found out, injuries eventually catch up with you.

[clevestinks]

Maddox needs to get his head out of his ass right now. I hope Hartings takes a toilet plunger to his head at halftime, and pulls it out.

[SteelerFanInATL]

Protection held up better late in the half. Maddox looked alittle more comfortable with time to throw. Wilson should have got a pass intferrence in that last drive.

[clevestinks]

were not gnna win with maddox,
we cant run if we cant threaten the pass
I undestand what your saying, but we will win, even with shitty Mafddox

[Rotorhead]

almost any team, no matter how bad they are, can score when they have to drive half the field, that is like 2 first downs and kick a field goal! our kick coverage sucks today and needs to greatly improve for the second half for us to have a chance.

[SteelCityMan786]

Here's To A Better Half. And Hopefully a Win

[24seven]

Omg Frickin Maddox Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

[SteelerFanInATL]

We have taken there best shots and only down by a td. Lets go offense.

[SteelCityMan786]

Let's Go Guys Get This Half Started RIGHT

[Livinginthe past]

Maybe the Steelers need to lose another one to wake em up - seems to me like they have been playing mediocre for alot of this season...or maybe they are just a mediocre team (esp without Ben at QB)

Im finding it hard to work out exactly who are the good teams this year - oookis like salary cap parity might be here ha ha

NM

[SteelerFanInATL]

Field position has been a key also. We need to keep the ball moving down field.

Maybe the Steelers need to lose another one to wake em up - seems to me like they have been playing mediocre for alot of this season...or maybe they are just a mediocre team (esp without Ben at QB)

Im finding it hard to work out exactly who are the good teams this year - oookis like salary cap parity might be here ha ha

I wouldn't be talkin We Have Won More Than you guys have

The pats just gave up another 25 on a 2nd and 26 then stuffed the runner for no gain and forced the punt ...its a crazy game.

how did maddox become this terrible over a span of a year and a half. I was never a supporter of him, but I did think he was a above average starter. More of a quality back up IMO. But I don't care if the Ravens are put 11 in the box just run the ball once W. Parker gets a crease it's over. Run the f****ing ball, cowher.

We need Big Ben!

Great catch Ward.

That was not intended as smack my good man - I meant it honestly- the Steelers would probably get murdered by a playoff type team playing this type of football.

[Rush58]

[SteelerFanInATL]

Come on Fanica, thats #2.

Oh I see ur point. Maddox will land in the unemployment line very soon

[Rotorhead]

Living is right, but where would the pats be without Brady this season . . . or the Colts without Manning, just average like the Steelers are without Ben.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

tommy has to lead the receiver.

[24seven]

3rd and 17 gotta be a draw.......

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

they have to make a decision at QB soon

WHAT ACCURACY

[Rotorhead]

Why cant maddox just convert 1-3rd and long to keep a drive alive, pathetic

[SteelerFanInATL]

Field position, field position, field position!! Good Play S.T.

[BurghThing]

TOmmy maddox is pathetic, that is all.

[geran42o]
