Steelers vs. Ravens Game Day Thread - 11/29/09

Don't give up people. Tough loss, yes, but it's not the end of our season.

Next week is the Raiders, and then we go from there.

I know it hurts that we lost. But I think for the most part we played well considering the circumstances. Yes this makes the playoff chance tougher, but hopefully Ben will be in for the rest of the season and some things will fall our way.

It's not over until it's over. There's no reason to give up now.

GO STEELERS.

special teams lost us this game....flat out....tomlin is not to blame.

dixon did a good job besides that pick...dudes fast as balls....

Gee, I'm sure glad now that we played it safe at the end of the first half. I mean, trying for a field goal was just some Madden-inspired fantasy that obviously would've killed us.

Hell, maybe I'll go play Madden now, just out of spite.

Sucks but I'm not mad. Dixon did well considering that he's a 3ed string QB who never started a game in the NFL

Buh-bye....

So you honestly are proud of this team? You think the D is playing championship football?

I am not used to a D that how many times in this season can not put up a stop when it matters. How many 4th quarter leads have we blown?

I guess Dungy is an idiot too because he said the same thing, that Steelers D doesnt give up 4th quarter leads they way they have this season.

So I guess the "cool thing to do" is to call someone upset with the team a bandwagoner?

I'm a true fan, and being a true fan I have a right to be upset with the last couple of plays of the game.

Everyone in the stadium knew Ray Rice was running. We were set up to stop him from running. Instead of manning up and stopping the run, they wilted, they got bulldozed, out muscled, ran over.

Sure, they probably win the game even if we stop the run, he was well within his range. That's no excuse for the defense to stop trying, which is what they did as soon as they stepped on the field after the interception.

It was a pathetic effort and I'm embarrassed to see those guys don the black and gold for that effort. Especially since they had put great effort into the previous two possessions. I was proud of them until the point where they quit, and put their mental weakness on national TV for the world to see.

I'll be here win or lose, I'm no FWF, but I have the right to be upset with those final running plays where the Ravens straight PUNKED us.

This is true and thats why i think they werent running him, but this is something i do not really agree with...This is a football game and you have to call plays that gives your team a chance to win...IMO running dixon may have given them that chance (guess we'll never know) so not making a play call because of fear a player will get hurt is kinda dumb because in any game on any play somebody can get hurt in the NFL

You cant put this loss, or any others this season, on the O (imo). Our D is completely unable to close out games this season.

Remember the days when we had a 4th quarter lead, we win?

Dixon might have thrown another INT at the end of the first half... you dolts never give up with your BS 20-20 hind sight do you

if it wasn't for our D getting out played, Dixon and the O did their part to win the game
