Steelers/Ravens Game Thread

[HoosierCat]

In case anyone wanted one...

I'm rooting for the meteor.

[volcom69]

Well I think both teams look better/different now then from the beginning of the season. Not sure what that means, if the bengals keep doing there thing then it wont mean much for the division.

Ravens throwing the long bombs, while the Steelers look to run the ball all game.

[volcom69]

Also it looks like Pitts o-line is protecting better, I don't see Ben getting hit as much.

[HoosierCat]

Yeah, Steelers oline looking a lot better. But they are still a pretty bad team. Can't even kick a FG fear crissakes...

[volcom69]

lol nope that was an awful kick lol

looks like the ravens only want to throw deep anymore.

[HoosierCat]

Yeah I was just thinking, when did the Ravens hire Brat? It's bombs away tonight. Yet for all that this is a fukking dull game.

[volcom69]

The Ravens are the field goal kings

[HoosierCat]

Wow that was a brutal hit on Bell...

And how was that not a penalty?

[cincyhokie]

This turned into a damn exciting game. Glad the Ravens won this. Chances are the Bengals will be no less than 2 up on the Steelers with 3 to play going into Pittsburgh...assuming they can win at least one of the next two.

[HoosierCat]

Well, that does it for the Steelers this season. A great way to end turkey day!

[cincyhokie]

If the Bengals can take care of business by winning the next 2, and I think they can, they'll be sitting pretty.

[COB]

Ha ha! Suck on it Steelers. Tomlin better come up with some tough talk after this one!

Steelers very much still alive in the wc hunt with their remaining schedule. They do need to win out, however.

[HoosierCat]

Pitt will be lucky to win another game. They are a bad team. Tonight was only close because the Ravens are junk too, just not quote as bad as the Steelers.

Tomlin should have been flagged on that return. Frikin cheater.

I wish I felt the same way. Both teams are still in the wc hunt. Bengals just need to take care of business. Tomlin knew exactly what he was doing!

[COB]

What did Tomlin do on a return? I only saw about half the game.

[HoosierCat]

Yup, Bengals need to pull it together and play up to their abilities. Do that and they can hang with anyone.

A real dick move by Tomlin.

Jacoby Jones had a huge return and the replay shows Tomlin watching out of the corner of his eye while standing in the field of play.

Him being on the field forced Jones to make a small step back into the defender.

While Jones may still have been caught, it was a real classless move on his part.

Then they showed him watching the replay on the big screen and him snickering about the whole thing.

Couldn't be happier about their loss.

[volcom69]

Tomlin said he lost track of where he was, what a bunch of crap.

[COB]

I just watched it on my phone. What a total and compete tool. Goodell better levy a gigantic fine, there is no place in the NFL for that bush league type of move.

[ArmyBengal]

They aren't even supposed to be on the white line, let alone in the field of play.

He said he was watching the jumbotron and lost track. Well, if he was watching it, he had to see his dumbass on the freakin' field.

It was just a dick move on his part and he should have just said it. Anything less than that sounds like a sh*tty excuse.

[HoosierCat]

Maybe if Tomlin spent less time watching the jumbotron and more time watching the actual field his team would win a few more games.

[ArmyBengal]

Maybe if Tomlin spent less time watching the jumbotron and more time watching the actual field his team would win a few more games.

Then here's to him continuing with the jumbotron watching !!!

[HoosierCat]

League could issue $100k+ fine and strip Pitt of draft picks for Tomlin's stunt.

I didn't see this one here when I posted on the NFL forum.

I have no doubt he was doing his best to impede the runner however slight it may have been and that really bothers me. I don't think its proper conduct or etiquette for an NFL coach to be anywhere close that situation. Honestly what was he trying to do? And what would his excuse be had Jones actually run into him?

I doubt that they will be docked a draft pick but maybe they should as a warning to anyone in the future.

During the pre-game of the MNF game in September, James Harrison paused long when asked about Tomlin. His comment was basically "I always thought he was just one of us". Nuff said.

I think his true abilities are in full view now. Missing the playoffs two years in a row a coincidence? I think not.
