Sass 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2005 In Cowher's defense, the Steelers, for like the last 30 years, 15 of which belong to Cowher, have had *the* best of the best when it comes to linebacker corps. I don't think there's ever been a team that has had as many *great* asskickers as the Steelers have had since Cowher took over the team from Coach Chuck. Cowher's got an eye for defensive talent but is like the Bizarro version of Mike Martz and just shits the bed on offense when it really counts. Seriously, the Steelers and Tampa Bay have had some of the best LB corps to step onto a field over the past decade. As a Raiders fan, that's sickening to me. I also agree with most of shitdick VX's predictions even though his beloved Fudge Packers suck worse than the Raiders do right now so I'll take solace in that (like I've got anything else to do that with what with Kegger Collins at QB...).

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2005 TOUCHDOWN! For at least one drive, the offense looked pretty good for a change. Too bad the defense couldn't stop a kid on a tricycle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2005 Christ almighty, the Steeler O looks out of sync other than Fast Willie. El needs to make that catch, and they need to get some production out of people other than Ward and Miller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2005 I'm not really *that* surprised. The Ravens are always jacked for the Steelers and their D is gameplanning for Kendall Simmons' weakness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2005 Of course I talk up the Steeler secondary, and they come out blowing coverages left and right. The announcers were wrong on that last play, though; Mason wasn't open, Pola was baiting Wright to throw it to him. You could see him break on the receiver at the last moment, and he's got enough of a vertical leap that he probably would've pick sixed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2005 YES! Nice hit that forces a fumble and the Ravens have the ball with good field position! Its too bad they are allowing Wright to throw deep now..because probably in like 2 weeks they'll boot him for Boller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2005 VERY pedestrian first half for the Steeler O-side. Parker can run, but the Raven pass rush is abusing the right side of the Steeler line and Ben is just plain off. D is bottling up the run just fine, though, and if they get more pressure on Wright, they'll be fine. He withers under the rush and Hampton is murdering their center enough to be a severe cause for concern for Raven fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2005 Fact that the Ravens are still in this game with 12 minutes to go in the 4th is very surprising. The question is will they be able to take this drive into the end zone for the lead or goof up and turn the ball over like they have been doing this year.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted November 1, 2005 Okay, so is Pittsburgh's offense that bad or is Baltimore's defense that good? All that despite the fact that Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are both out for the Ravens. Hell of a defensive battle. Who says there aren't any real rivalry games in the NFL?
