What a difference when you go deep to start

DK actually making plays and helping move the ball

Rogers showing he still has the legs to make a play

defense is still suspect

refs have been inconsistent

no running game ******* sucks

no loving the play calling in the red zone....or at the end of the game.

Passing game was huge today...finally

hariball is a little *****

really ******* shocked by the reversal on the Rodgers "fumble" dumbass should have let it fall to the ground and the TD taken off the board

think they were the right calls but shocked they went the Steelers way

huge ******* sack to end it....

Defense was not great, but they made enough plays to win. JPJ's bad rep gets him calls that would be ignored for other guys

Love beating the ******* ravens
 
Love beating the rats.

A sloppy game, that had we played well, we would probably dominated.

I'll take the win, and look forward to the first round of the playoffs.
 
The short passes were the running game today, and they turned into a lot of yards.

I'm not sure how I feel about winning this. I always pick the Steelers,s and you knew they would somehow get Tomlin to 9 wins, and this win goes a long way toward achieving just that.

They definitely are not good enoug to win in the playoffs if they get there but that is why they play the game.
 
Rodgers was back in form today and used his playmaker, it was good to see.

When is Harmon coming back? We really need him to get this run defense together.

Does Lamar stink now?

JPJ had some lame calls against him today. Knocking the ball away from Likely in what should've been the go-ahead TD for the Ravens was the defensive play of the game.
 
We know we would all be pissed as hell if that TD was overturned against the Steelers. I still have no ******* clue what a catch is in the NFL.

And just think, that play might prove to be the difference between Tomlin leaving after this season and staying for two more years! Crazy.

Absolutely. I thought it was a touchdown live and after replays. I'd be fuming if I was a Baltimore fan.

That's what she said
 
Won a game they absolutely had to win. I’ll give them that.
Don’t let down now. Stay focused on the Dolphins and don’t let this be a trap game.
 
I thought the D played much better,especially in the first half,than they have played.
Aaron had 284 yards. When they were being aggressive the O was moving. Then they reverted back to the same old ****. Some of the play calling is just atrocious. I thought the OLine played well again. I thought Echols had a good game.
I might add the Ravens had 420 yards of Offense. I didn’t realize it was that high. Once again after a descent first half on both sides of the ball,they faltered in the second half
 
It was a TD. The rules for a catch are retarded. Guy had the ball in both hands, the ball was not moving, dude took three steps. I’m not sure what kind of football move was required considering he was in the end zone thinking he scored.

Other than that, fun game. The offense looked terrific outside of the last two possessions. Defense is the defense. It’s not changing, so just gotta hope they don’t get their stool pushed in.

The Dolphins are 6-7, have won four in a row, and are playing good football. Some might consider it a trap game for the Dolphins.
 
I'm happy the team won, but I've finally fully come over to the Tomlin needs to go side. This team will never be better than a team without a losing season as long as Tomlin has the power to keep the offense stuck in the mud. He's lucky the conservative play calling in the 4th didn't cost them the game today. Once they go to run, run, pass behind the LOS, punt mode, the defense gets run down after about a quarter of play. Why go away from the anti-Tomlin approach they used to start the game and go deep since it was working?

The box score pretty much sums up Tomlin's approach to offense. The 2nd and third leading receivers for the game are both running backs with more yards receiving than rushing and that was nothing to brag about. I'm now convinced this team will never be better than average with Tomlin. His defense isn't any better. Tomlin needs to be stripped of most of his game-day play calling power and allowed to be the face of the team only , or let go.

Sorry for such a negative post after beating the Rats since that's always a great thing regardless. Tomlin's way simply does not result in beating good teams consistently enough to be ultra competitive and his game preparation allows for too many bad games against both good and bad teams.

I will give credit to DK and Rodgers for starting the game determined to actually look like an offense. I was thinking the run defense was better, but they still gave up over 200 yards rushing.
 
The replay showed the Ratbird catch the ball and get 2 feet down. The ball was moving and loose before he got his 3rd foot down. That is an incomplete pass. It was close, but the replay showed it to be incomplete.

Don't get me wrong, the rule sucks, and that should be a TD, but based on the current rules, it is not.
 
So, if they get to 9 wins, does Rooney give Tomlin another 3-year extension? LOL. A top 15 pick would have been much easier to move into the top 10 than picking at 20 or worse.
