...Alright, I'm calling it a "pseudo-gameday" thread because I will not be able to watch the game tonight... Have I recently said how much I hate the fact that Directv doesn't do the pre-season games? Man, I can't wait till the regular season starts, and this is one of the reasons... Anyway, there's no reason NOT to have one location to discuss tonights' game... Anyone that actually gets to watch the game may feel free to take over this thread and keep it rolling tonight... So please do so...

So lets start off with the game stats for tonight....

Tomlin said the starting offense and defense will play the first quarter. ... Strong safety Troy Polamalu will see his first game action after missing training camp with a hamstring injury. ... Lawrence Timmons will start at inside linebacker in place of injured Larry Foote. ... Center Justin Hartwig, named the starter by Tomlin earlier this week, was Carolina's starting center in 2007. The Panthers released him in the offseason in a salary cap-related move.

Anyone that still lives back in the 'burgh, I have a question: "Is Bobby Ribinos at Station Square still in business?"

[stlrz d]

Dag...I just took a stroll through the DTV listings. I'm getting 4 different games here. But of course not one of them is the Steelers game. :evil:

[NKySteeler]

BUT... College ball starts tonight, and those games count!...

[NKySteeler]

Hey stlrz.... What channels are you getting those 4 games on?.....

[NKySteeler]

5 minutes till gametime... Anyone out there able to get the game, and willing to take control of this thread with it?....

... Thank God this is the last pre-season game, and the last time this season to deal with this bull****!.... The Gameday Thread will be going in full-force come Sept 7th.... Until then, I guess this is a bust tonight...

[stlrz d]

Hey stlrz.... What channels are you getting those 4 games on?.....

One is the Packers of course.

The other is the Jags.

On 390 is Jets @ Eagles.

[stlrz d]

So what did I miss? I just got the WDVE feed working. Had to use IE. Anyway, all I heard was the punt. What happened before that?

[eniparadoxgma]

we had a bad snap, Ben lost it but got it back...

Anthony Madison with a nice tackle on the Carolina kick return...

McFadden almost had an interception...


...dunno

[Snatch98]

What do you mean you went to nfl.com and got it?

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

I'm listening to dve on line, and here too.

Not an auspicious start ... are they really backups for the Panthers?

[NKySteeler]

Went to nfl.com...got it. Run for 0, run for 5, fumble and recovery, punt.

Sometimes you can get a feed.... No luck for me there.....

Audio or video? I got the audio already...

[Rickt011]

Anyone know where the game is on the web at?

[eniparadoxgma]

Woo hoo, go FWP!!!

[Flasteel]

Willie Parker...sounding fast! 26 yards!

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Anyone know where the game is on the web at?

hi rickt011!

I looked all over, couldn't find it. Doing audio at dve.com.

Nice run by Parker!!

[eniparadoxgma]

Anyone know where the game is on the web at?

There are no video feeds for the game on the net Rick. I looked everywhere. :(

[Flasteel]

Pass interference against Nate 1st and goal from the 7

[stlrz d]

I meant I got the play by play (in text) for the first Steelers possession.

[eniparadoxgma]

Carey Davis with at TD?!?! Wow.

[Flasteel]

TD!!! Carey Davis on the stretch! 7-3!! Apparently there was great blocking up front.

[blacknblue80s]

Yess!!!

The little blackngold arrow has reached the endzone!!!

[Chavezz]

I'm in Carolina so I get the game.

I'll give drive updates

[eniparadoxgma]

Nice. Davis gets the TD, then makes the tackle on the returner.

[Chavezz]

Kemo looked good pulling on the TD

Davis was running hard up the middle twice

Are they giving him a shot at short yardage?

Nate had a step on the DB before the pass interference

[Mel Blount's G]

Did we have a good KO return? How did davis end up running it in from the 6?

[Flasteel]

I'm in Carolina so I get the game.

I'll give drive updates

Chavez, how did the blocking look on FWP's 26 yard run and Davis' TD? Anything else stand out to you? Thanks.

[eniparadoxgma]

Kemo looked good pulling on the TD

Davis was running hard up the middle twice

Are they giving him a shot at short yardage?

Nate had a step on the DB before the pass interference

Sweet. I think they said we ran a 3 WR set with Santonio and Hines, so Nate had single coverage.

[Chavezz]

They seemed to be trying to run up the middle, guess they are giving Hartwig a work out

[blacknblue80s]

Thanks Chavezz.

Yep.

[eniparadoxgma]

So it's their 2nd teamers vs our 1st teamers....and we're currently getting passed on?

[Chavezz]

They are blitzing but just a 1/2 step off

Troy with a tackle behind the line

Coming from the edges quite a bit


D is toughening up now against the run

[blacknblue80s]

Dude... the little blue arrow seems almost unstoppable!

[Chavezz]

Cepter

Jumped the route, good play

[Flasteel]

Pick B-Mac!!

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Wooo-hoooo - BMac pic!!

[eniparadoxgma]

So what we were doing was lulling them into a false sense of security by giving up some short passes...so we could snag one from 'em!!! WOO HOO!!!

[Chavezz]

He got pressured into throwing before the WR was looking for the ball.'

Bmac broke from his assignment and read the QB the whole way.

Heads up play

[eniparadoxgma]

How was our 1st team offensive line, Chavezz? Thanks for lending us your eyeballs, mane.

[Chavezz]

Direct snap to Mendenhall, fake reverse for 7 yards up the gut

worked but a ply I don't want to see

[blacknblue80s]

Did Mendy just smash through would be defenders on that inside run??

[Chavezz]

How was our 1st team offensive line, Chavezz? Thanks for lending us your eyeballs, mane.

I'm mainly watching Kemo and hartwig

Kemo looked good the entire time IMO

Hartwig looked fine except for the botched snap. I noticed him down field twice looking to block someone but the RB was tackled behind him

[blacknblue80s]

Are we still playing our starters on D?

[SteelTorch]

Well, I'm not watching it live, but I'm liking the stats so far. Our RB's seem to be doing a good job, as is our defense.

Question: did Big Ben actually take any snaps? I noticed he has no stats except a fumble recovery.

[Chavezz]

Did Mendy just smash through would be defenders on that inside run??


He picked through the hole and after he was through it he got what he could by lowering his shoulder and kept his legs moving

ended up getting probably 2-3 more yards by falling forward.

Good run

[Flasteel]

Donnie Shell works in the Carolina FO??

[eniparadoxgma]

I think it's difficult to gauge this game because of the fact that Carolina isn't playing any of their starters...kind of sucks...

...and thanks for the O-line update, Chavezz.

[Chavezz]

Timmons was down field covering Dwayne Jarrett step for step

It was a completion but Timmons was right there with him. Good throw and catch

[Chavezz]

No D starters...

Except Timmons

[blacknblue80s]

Did Mendy just smash through would be defenders on that inside run??


He picked through the hole and after he was through it he got what he could by lowering his shoulder and kept his legs moving

[Rickt011]

other then dve any other radio carrying the game. I can't get it for some reason at dve

[Chavezz]

Another damn direct snap to Mendy

[Flasteel]

other then dve any other radio carrying the game. I can't get it for some reason at dve

I couldn't find a link on the DVE site either, then enigparadoxma posted this link which worked for me just fine:

http://www.dve.com/cc-common/ondemand/p ... l?world=st (http://www.dve.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st)

[Chavezz]

Nice move Moore

Gave the D a nice little side step

[eniparadoxgma]

I like what I've seen (and heard) of Moore so far this pre-season.

[Chavezz]

Mendy took the hand off and was hit immediatley

[Chavezz]

I like what I've seen (and heard) of Moore so far this pre-season.


Great 3rd down back

Baker with a nice catch

Made one miss

[Flasteel]

Baker!!!! Go big guy!

[eniparadoxgma]

Baker making his case...

baker...reid...

reid...baker...

?

[Chavezz]

Great catch by Sweed!

But only one foot in

[NKySteeler]

Baker seem to be doing well...

Chavezz, how has Leftwich looked?.... Would you want him over Batch?

[Rickt011]

I can't get it to work. Sucks. pittsburghlive is down, what is up with their servers?
Anyone know of another radio station carrying the game?

[SteelCrazy]

Thats a td by Sweed, unless his butt hit out 1st

[Flasteel]

TD Sweed??? The boos would indicate we win the review.

[NKySteeler]

baker...reid...

reid...baker...



............ Baker. IMHO.

[Ozey74]

Thanks for the great play by play. Your all doing a great job!!

[Chavezz]

Sweed went up high in the back of the end zone and out jumped the Dback

being reviewed but I don't think it was a TD

Great play though

First REAL example of what Sweed will bring to this offense

[SteelCrazy]

His right foot is in, then either his butt hit out of bounds or his left foot hit in the endzone. think his butt hit 1st

[Chavezz]

Baker seem to be doing well...

Chavezz, how has Leftwich looked?.... Would you want him over Batch?

Yes

Leftwhich is a starter

batch isn't

I saw another radio link on the discussion board at the justintv site...but can't remember it. There is a link there in the broadcast thread on main page here.

[NKySteeler]

Chavezz........ Did DeAngelo Williams play much?.... I didn't tune in on radio until recently.

[eniparadoxgma]

http://www.fox970.com/cc-common/ondeman ... l?world=st (http://www.fox970.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st)

supposed to be the audio as well

[SteelCrazy]

reed hit a fg

[Flasteel]

49 yards! Way to go Reed.

[Chavezz]

Chavezz........ Did DeAngelo Williams play much?.... I didn't tune in on radio until recently.

I really only noticed Stewart

[Chavezz]

Reed is a spaz but he's a hell of a kicker

[Flasteel]

http://www.fox970.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st

supposed to be the audio as well

Well, that link worked for me as well.

[Chavezz]

KR/PR coverage has looked good too

[BURGH86STEEL]

Gonna be a tough decision of who to keep between Reid and Baker.

[stlrz d]

http://www.fox970.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st

Well, that link worked for me as well.

Is that just audio? I've already got that with WDVE.

But if there's video I'd sure like to know!

[SteelTorch]

Gonna be a tough decision of who to keep between Reid and Baker.
I'm leaning more toward Baker myself. :wink:

Nice coverage on that play.

[Chadman]

Gonna be a tough decision of who to keep between Reid and Baker.

Keep 'em both..

[NKySteeler]

But if there's video I'd sure like to know!

No video...

[Rickt011]

I had to open dve in IE, firefox wouldn't play it??? I got the sound now. Thanks

[SteelCrazy]

anthony smith, good play

[NKySteeler]

Keep 'em both..

Reid will end up getting hurt and spend the season on the sidelines....... Again......

[Chavezz]

Nice hit by A. Smith to break up the pass

[stlrz d]

I had to open dve in IE, firefox wouldn't play it??? I got the sound now. Thanks

Same here.

[Chavezz]

Poy Lewis with a good play, almost has a pick

[BURGH86STEEL]

Nice hit by A. Smith to break up the pass
Smith has potential if he can keep his head in the game.

[NKySteeler]

How has Drummond looked?..........

[Chadman]

Nice hit by A. Smith to break up the pass


Smith seems to be around the ball a bit...good sign...

[Chavezz]

Mendy got the quick feet.

Another F'nFUMBLEQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SteelCrazy]

Mendy fumbles again

[Djfan]

is anyone watching the game, or audio only?


another fumble?!?!?!?

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Just listening to the game, but has Lefty ever thrown a soft pass?

SH*t, Mendy fumbles again ...

[NKySteeler]

Rashard giving it up again???????????????????????????????????

[eniparadoxgma]

Mendenhall fumbles AGAIN!??!!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!!

[SteelTorch]

Fumble...again.... :HeadBanger

[Chavezz]

Nice hit by A. Smith to break up the pass


Smith seems to be around the ball a bit...good sign...


If he can get his head in the game he's our #2 safety

[NKySteeler]

is anyone watching the game, or audio only?


another fumble?!?!?!?

Audio only, brother.....

[Chadman]

Mendy fumbles again


BUST!!!!!!!

[SteelTorch]

Just listening to the game, but has Lefty ever thrown a soft pass?

SH*t, Mendy fumbles again ...
And that's why he's not our starter. :wink:

[Djfan]

DEFENSE!!

[BURGH86STEEL]

Is Mendenhall going to owe Coke the money? LOL Anyway I can imagine posts/people calling Mendenhall a bust now.

[eniparadoxgma]

is anyone watching the game, or audio only?


another fumble?!?!?!?

Chavezz has it locally (video). Lucky bastage. :evil:

[blacknblue80s]

Mendy needs to change the way he holds the ball. The hazing didn't work.

Coughlin taught Tiki Barber to hold the ball vertically instead of horizontally to cure his fumble problem.

[Chavezz]

He made a great run, he really did. Looked very natural, made some real nice moves but if he can't hold the ball he ain't playin.

[Rickt011]

What is up with RM? RBs that fumble continously get cut!

[NKySteeler]

Mendy fumbles again


BUST!!!!!!!


:lol: :lol: :lol: ......

[Djfan]

i gotta move to the burgh!

[SteelTorch]

NICE STUFF AT THE LINE!

[Chavezz]

It seems like his fumbles are coming when he's trying to do too much. Get your yards and get down.

[NKySteeler]

What is up with RM? RBs that fumble continously get cut!

Not as a #1 pick...... He is having issues, but will adjust to the pro game... Hopefully...

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Mendy back out ...

[Chadman]

Mendy fumbles again


BUST!!!!!!!


:lol: :lol: :lol: ......


hehehe... :stirpot

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Like I was asking, has Lefty ever thrown a soft pass as a Steeler?

[NKySteeler]

i gotta move to the burgh!

I have about 50 acres down in Greene County. Could sell you a few...... :lol:

[eniparadoxgma]

Still can't believe our ex-fumble master Coclough recovered the fumble from our current fumble-master...

Is that irony or what?

[NKySteeler]

Like I was asking, has Lefty ever thrown a soft pass as a Steeler?

No......

[Djfan]

make an offer!!!!!!

I have a house in forclosure in CA. It's probably cheaper than your land now!

I hope you're right. Ernster shanks it to the 40 in CAR territory

[Djfan]

Made note of that myself!

[NKySteeler]

Berger got the edge in the punter position?................

[SteelTorch]

Nice punt. :roll:

[Chadman]

Ernster for 22 yards huh?

Just like that- Berger becomes the Steelers punter...

[Djfan]

Berger got the edge in the punter position?................

Wish we didn't have the opportunity to find out!

[Rickt011]

2 min warning...Steelers 13 Panthers 3

Got a barn burner going now! :)

[Mel Blount's G]

Rashard Fumblenhall?

[Djfan]

I'm watching duck hunting on the outdoor channel.

[Djfan]

Rashard Fumblenhall?

Funny

[Rickt011]

Anthony Smith hoses it again....

[eniparadoxgma]

WTF, Anthony Smith?

He's good for a 15 yard penalty every friggin game, ain't he?

[stlrz d]

Cripes, look at this game thread go!

The previous ones have been rather slow...people must be jonsin' for the season to start!

[blacknblue80s]

Rashard Fumblenhall?

Or Rashard Fumblenball... might as well. :|

[NKySteeler]

I'm watching duck hunting on the outdoor channel.

...I'm trying to watch the S. Carolina game while listening to the Steelers......

[NKySteeler]

Cripes, look at this game thread go!

Brother, just wait for the start of the regular season.... I have a few tricks planned!... :wink:

Yeah, I tried that one too. That's a good one during the season as well.

[SteelCrazy]

Ouch!

[mshifko]

does anyone know if the game will be re aired tomorrow on NFLN?

[Djfan]

does anyone know if the game will be re aired tomorrow on NFLN?


2pm est

[NKySteeler]

does anyone know if the game will be re aired tomorrow on NFLN?

2pm....

[Rickt011]

Well I just might move over here, getting real tired with the other page....Bunch of punks and the SFL/DVSONE is not Edgar Allen Hoe. 8)

[eniparadoxgma]

does anyone know if the game will be re aired tomorrow on NFLN?

I heard that it will be...but I don't have NFLN so I wouldn't take my word for it.

[blacknblue80s]

I'm surfing back and forth between this board and NFL.COM gamecenter.

Watching the little arrows. :x :tt1

[Scarletfire1970]

It will be on NFL network tomorrow at 2

[eniparadoxgma]

LET'S GO, little black and gold arrow, LET'S GO!!!

:tt1 :tt2 :tt1 :tt2

[Scarletfire1970]

They should just come out with a Pittsburgh Steelers channel that shows all the games. I'd pay extra for that channel.

[NKySteeler]

Well I just might move over here, getting real tired with the other page....Bunch of punks and the SFL/DVSONE is not Edgar Allen Hoe. 8)

I hope so, Rick I am only doing a gameday thread in your absence.... You are needed here....

[Djfan]

I'm surfing back and forth between this board and NFL.COM gamecenter.

I've got those two and justin.tv chat.

that's too much. I need therapy.

[Scarletfire1970]

So what is going on? Not much of a passing game for us tonight. Why is that? And what happened with Ben? He had no pass attempts according to Nfl.com

[blacknblue80s]

[eniparadoxgma]

What's up with our rookies?

Sweed with the drops again...

Mendenhall with the fumbles again...

?

[Flasteel]

Man...our top two rooks seem to have hands of stone. Who would of thunk it?

[birtikidis]

damn, i'm stuck with CFB. at least it counts, but i wanted to see the steelers game. of course SC looks terrible (at least there qb) and NCST looks a lot better.
and yea, me and chadman have woodley on our facebook pages.

[eniparadoxgma]

Who were you on the justin.tv chat? I think I was there for a bit too.

[BURGH86STEEL]

Our two tops picks are struggling with their hands this preseason. I believe they will get it together. ROOKIES!!!!!! LOL

[Scarletfire1970]

What's up with our rookies?

Sweed with the drops again...

Mendenhall with the fumbles again...

?
Yeah what we once thought was a great draft isn't looking so hot right now. Meanwhile, the Eagles rookie receiver, deshean jackson is looking great. He's most likely going to be the #1 guy there this year.

[SteelTorch]

And on that note, I think I'm going to do something else. 8)

I part with these two observations:

1. Mendy and Sweed both need crazy glue.

2. Anthony Smith will cost us a game if he's not careful.

[Rickt011]

STEELERS 13 Panthers 6, halftime...

So Sweed drops a catchable ball again. I think it is safe to say Rm and LS are not making the OL play better. If one ain't dropping passes, the other is fumbling it. Lets just hope this is temp things.

Did Ben throw a pass this game? I know he played, but they show no passes.

[Djfan]

Anyone else rooting for Rukker? Is he really that much worse than Sweed? At camp you could see he is much bigger than Sweed, so maybe tougher? I just think he should get a real shot, even if it's in the PS.

[Djfan]

DJfan. I use that everywhere now. Even on the hunting board I go to.

You?

[Rickt011]

Just to let you know I'm getting a error message, maximum people on this system has been reached.

[eniparadoxgma]

Ben threw some passes but had penalties called on the defense both times I believe...

Someone else might be able to back that up, but I remember us getting a PI call on at least one of those that helped put us in position for the Davis TD.

Btw, I got my first error message from this site:

Same here.... I've tried PMing J, but keep getting kicked off when I try to send it..... This ****ing sucks!....

[eniparadoxgma]

DJ: I went by DarthSteeler on there (it's a name I use in online videogames). I used it for the chat because no one knows what to call me when I use my usual name lol.

Yeah, the one thing we were worried about with this site was how it would hold up during gameday threads. Of course, we've probably got a few more here than usual due to the trib site being down (again). However, I think jhansle talked about upgrading if need be...

We shall see...

[Rickt011]

Yea, I just got one...extremely rare...happens occasionally with very heavy traffic.
I'm glad to see ya here Rick.

[NKySteeler]

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE needs to send PMs to J, Shawn, and AS about this... It's gotta be fixed ASAP!......... Hell, I try to send one, and I'm kicked off because of "max users"...... ****!!!!!

[Flasteel]

Just to let you know I'm getting a error message, maximum people on this system has been reached.

I got the same thing a little while ago but paged back and re-hit the link and it was cool. That's the first time I've seen that message.

[Rickt011]

It has slowed it down some. I assume you guys are paying for the amount of users on it. Nice setup, looks clean.

[NKySteeler]

..extremely rare...happens occasionally with very heavy traffic.


Bull**** Shawn.... This is gameday action, and will happen on the 7th unless addressed... Don't downplay it.

Yea, J has discussed this is in the past...as we grow the servers will need to grow. He stated that he was committed to keeping this place speedy. We might want to collectively write him to let him know. :)

[NKySteeler]

It's not really pronounceable I don't think, but it means "a paradox wrapped in an enigma". Just something I came up with during my first forays onto the internet back in the day. I think the best nickname someone made from it was "wrapped". :Cheers

[NKySteeler]

... And it's spelled "Rumplemintz".................... :wink:

[Shawn]

Bull**** Shawn.... This is gameday action, and will happen on the 7th unless addressed... Don't downplay it.

Settle down there NKy...we are growing...this is what happens with growth. No need to buy extra speed if you don't have the activity. It won't be fixed tonight. We can all send a message of concern to JH and he will handle it...like he has handled everything else. Just think...we could be at the Trib...and that board is completely shut down right now. :D

[eniparadoxgma]

... And it's spelled "Rumplemintz".................... :wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Bruce Davis dropping the runner?

Reid returning again...

Any word on Harrison?

[Scarletfire1970]

What is wrong with the Trib? It is always going down.

[SteelCrazy]

No word on A Harrison. He seems really upset. Farrior walk with him to the showers

Davis made a good tackle for a loss on the RB

[Rickt011]

What is wrong with the Trib? It is always going down.

I thought it was me...I pissed them off so they was keeping me out...LoL Think they have cheap equipment, or a bad ISP.

[Djfan]

Bettis is on the sidelines. too cool. I wonder what they are saying about this on the trib board.

Oh, it's down.

[NKySteeler]

Kipper has a pretty cool site......... Just sayin"........... (j/k guys)

[NKySteeler]

I thought it was me...I pissed them off so they was keeping me out...LoL Think they have cheap equipment, or a bad ISP.

Rick, I'll say it again.... You are needed here.... You need to make the pilgrimage to PS as many of us have....

[Shawn]

What is wrong with the Trib? It is always going down.

Same ancient servers...the Trib invests money everywhere but their servers. Unfortunately the mods over there have zero control over server speed. I thought the recent migration would help matters over there but its actually worse. You can set up home here if you wish Scarlett. :D

[eniparadoxgma]

Kipper has a pretty cool site......... Just sayin"........... (j/k guys)

Kipper Pm'd me about that site...but I didn't understand why they made another one. He have a problem with someone here? I mean, when a site splinters off you're just going to have fewer people if you don't band together at a new one...

[Rickt011]

Rick, I'll say it again.... You are needed here.... You need to make the pilgrimage to PS as many of us have....

Yeah well I'm going to probably do that. I doubt I'll do play by play any more, but least we can talk and discuss the game. The other board has just been bad lately. Then the wars going on there.

[NKySteeler]

He have a problem with someone here?...

Msm......

But MSM ain't here no more.

Sounds like Mendenhall is going off now...

Where's Chavezz?

Yea, last I know she was a regular over at the Nation. I hope she is ok.

[Snatch98]

I can't watch the game because FSN pittsburgh is blacked out. ****in Directv and the local contracts! but Mendenhall will correct the fumble issue. The dude has skills and that much should be obvious. He's moving the ball and moving it well. I can't wait until he's really comfortable in the system. The guy is going to be a beast.

[BURGH86STEEL]

Mendenhall showing the good and bad. Hopefully he will correct the fumbleitis he has.

[Shawn]
