Steelers @ Ravens

[Eich]

The first half gameplan won’t get it done. Requires too many plays to score. The approach needs to change or the D needs to force turnovers or we’re done.

Ravens get the ball first, if we give up points on the opening drive we are going to be in trouble.

Got that right

this offense seems incapable of climbing out of that kind of hole

Feels like the Ravens are inside our heads.

We can’t stop the run.

We can’t defend the pass.

No splash plays as they control the LoS.

And they are getting away with O and D holding.

What can you do?

In past Iterations of this rivalry, there was a Polamalu or a Harrison that made a splash play that would change the momentum.

Just wondering if the Steelers has it here.

[T.Ferguson]

Just sayin after TD there was a shot of Cam where his gesture suggested he admitted it was on him.

Maybe crappy call but Steelers still need to execute better on D to stop that TD.

As I said earlier for Tomlin's gameplan to work you have to execute it flawlessly.

The run has worked well, but the WR's with exception of 88 have made mistakes and with such a thin margin killed them.

Hell even the false start at goal line on first drive was a killer

That's the ironic thing with going with such a conservative gameplan, it actually gives your players less room for error which makes it not so conservative in some respects. It also all but guarantees you aren't scoring very much. This kind of gameplan might make sense if you are more talented than the other team but against a team like the Ravens idk not too good unless you are getting turnovers or big time Tomlin splashers.

Their secondary is banged up but we are choosing to run. Harbaugh is laughing in his shoes.

I missed Minkah and Cam arguing on the sideline.

[Moonie]

Cam is going to smack Minkah upside the head.

[Ghost]

Hed talked about being in piles against both teams.. seeing alot worse than that (that wasn't flagged).. and then rolled his eyes and basically said It is what it is..
Thats the way i took it..
Of course i hold no ill will against Collinsworth. Lol
I can certainly see someone who cant stand him.. seeing it like you did..

Agreed. I think Collinsworth was anti-Steelers early in his career because of who he played for. But he’s been super pro Steelers for a long time. He loves their toughness. He compliments them a ton. I don’t understand the people that hate him. He’s mostly positive about our team.

punt

oh, wait ...

lol. 19 yards if we’re lucky.

[NorthCoast]

Nobody can cover Andrews.

Cam is going to smack Minkah upside the head.

These guys have no heart tonight.

[T.Ferguson]

Can't allow Ravens to score a TD here, just stating the obvious.

[Captain Lemming]

Our rush defense wasn’t good last year. Teams were using Watt’s upfield rush against him on some running plays.

Your criticism of TJ is 100 percent legit in my view. I suggested this for a couple years now when comparing him to peak JH.

This just happened. On that run after the penalty 1st and 15 Dobbs gets a huge gain. Took advantage of TJs inclination to get into the backfield early and tackle lead him wide and Dobbs goes inside of the tackle, while TJ winds up in the backfield with no back.

They very intentionally used TJs tendencies against him. Very clever strategy.
