Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens game thread

[MTC]

First Thursday Night game on CBS!

 

Score prediction:

 

Ravens - 23

Steelers - 21

If the ravens lose this game they will be in a big hole to open the season. Two divisional home losses to start out would be brutal

Both teams have something to prove. 

 

Ravens have a better roster, however they lack production.

[Poster X]

I predict someone is getting kicked tonight.

[MTC]

82 degrees in Baltimore right now. That's crazy. 

[MTC]

Courtney Upshaw... DANG.

[Yoshinator]

steelers win 24-21 my prediction

[jvan1973]

that's weak

[Yoshinator]

Sorry about Megatron last week in fantasy MTC, good luck this week.

[MTC]

Steelers offensive line is worse than ours. 

[B~Town]

Hit him hit him hard

[John Dee]

the NFL is dead...     it is just becoming really sad.

 

unreal.....

[John Dee]

D is simply not allowed anymore...  

[B~Town]

was that DHB ?

[DrColtsFan]

So the announcers say that flag was right but c'mon! I get protecting the QB's head and knees but the chest? Really? That is just ridiculous. Yes it was vicious hit but that is the type of hit football fans are looking for and wouldn't cause any long term injury.

[MTC]

I really love the Steelers play calling. Much improved from last year. 

[MTC]

was that DHB ?

 

No, Markus Wheaton.

 

I hope to see DHB as well. Lance Moore and Martavius Bryant both out. 

[B~Town]

Ravens D is laying the wood

[ColtsBlueFL]

D is simply not allowed anymore...  

 

Crown of the helmet hits have been penalties for years now.  Surprised a few players and  a couple fans still aren't aware of that.

[MTC]

How could Ravens secondary let Antonio Brown be open twice?

[Poster X]

82 degrees in Baltimore right now. That's crazy. 

A nice balmy 59 here in Indy.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Ravens D is laying the wood

Except for the one hit, legally too!

[MTC]

Darrius Heyward Bey is in. 

 

#85

[jvan1973]

Ravens ball

[MTC]

8 minutes drive ... 0 points.

[B~Town]

No, Markus Wheaton.

 

I hope to see DHB as well. Lance Moore and Martavius Bryant both out. 

Thanks volume sucks on mu laptop just heard the mention DHB right after the catch

[John Dee]

heeeeee

 

 

Ok genius..    Where else was this guys helmet going to go?     WHERE?   Form tackle and wrap.?  hehehee  

 

These are NFL games..   it happens FAST.        not like in HS.  

 

Sigh...........

[MTC]

Pagano would go with the FG.

[jvan1973]

Pagano would go with the FG.

if our line could get that kind of push he wouldn't

[MTC]

Doesn't Cortez Allen know to turn his head?

[DrColtsFan]

I think announcer just said Har-bra instead of Harbaugh. Fantastic mouth malfunction.

[MTC]

if our line could get that kind of push he wouldn't

 

Our line wasn't that bad. 

[B~Town]

Hate those calls

[jvan1973]

Our line wasn't that bad.

The qb sneak against the broncos went backwards

[John Dee]

It is truly comical how a "few" folk actually think that a player can "AT GAME SPEED" ...   "SAFELY POSITION THEIR HELMET SO THE PREY CAN RECEIVE THE SOFTEST BLOW POSSIBLE"    Really..   ?   

 

It will be "touch" or "flag" ball sooner than later if this comical crap keeps getting called.

 

It just doesn't work that way.   D players are taught to HIT.      not comfort.  

 

but whatever.....

[MTC]

Way too easy. Owen Daniels wide open.

[Derakynn]

Pitt Defense has fallen off so far. And that was a weak PI call. 

[Yoshinator]

owen daniels lol

[ColtsBlueFL]

heeeeee

Sigh...........

Rule states as long as his eyes can read jersey numbers, the forehead part of the helmet can be used.  But if your eyes are to the ground and see grass, and top of helmet hits 1st, take your personal foul penalty and move on.  He lowered his head/eyes.  He must not be keeping up on the NFL Heads Up program. Nor you.

[MTC]

Dennis Pitta fantasy owners are sad.
