2017 Pittsburgh Steelers

[farmer]

The hole at Middle LB really stood out vs a poor Baltimore offense. Not the speed to get there on outside runs as well as out of place on inside runs. This will really hurt if the players can not step up. One possibility is moving Watt inside. Like what the Packers did before with Clay Mathews.

Game day / Hope that middle on D does well today !

[cbolt]

Pittsburgh will win! Their defense looks a little vulnerable, but with an offense like that you don't need it. As long as BR or LB don't get injured they will be fine and rolling to the SB.

[Geronimo]

WOW ! Crazy ! Hope Brown will be back ! Hope Home field ?

Not double teaming Gronk hurt in the second half. The injury to Brown needs to rest as much as possible. Even then he can reinjure it at anytime. The WR's need to do more even if Brown comes back.The loss the way they lost hopefully the attitudes do not come back. Even though after the game Ben mentioned Coach meaning Haley wanted to run the pass play and Ben wanted to spike the ball. Having Connor get hurt effects the team if Bell gets hurt or has to rest some.

Ooops I jinxed the steelers What a game this was! The call at the end was correct the way they got the rules set up. I personally hate that rule. If you got control of the ball and it crosses the plane it should be a touchdown, like if you got two feet in with control it should also be a touchdown. Tough loss for Pitts! I thought for sure Pats blew the game giving up that long pass play.

[Geronimo]

Jmo the ball broke the plane ? Right ? Why do they say the ground can't cause a fumble ? May be wrong ?

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

well that was a debacle at the end. I thought it was a td, he crossed the plain with the ball in his hands. granted he bobbled it some. but that was after he hit the ground. but he still maintained possession and the ground can't cause a fumble. which never actually happened.i haven't read any other comments yet, so I'm curious as to what others thought. dumb pass by ben to lose it. but you cain't hit home runs if you ain't swingin for em. should have thrown it away, kicked the field goal, and went to ot. but it truly is the agony and defeat aspect of sports. it happens in a blink of the eye in every sport.did you all think it was a td. he crossed the goal line with the ball never hitting the ground. but the ball moved some. but never hit the ground. that is totally confusing to me.

I'm a Bengal 1st. and an afc north fan second. and I think the steelers got hosed.

now I'm reading a few comments, and I totally agree with what you're saying. confusing as heck.
me n mrs. bait was miffed at that call.

Geronimo. I'm still scratchin my head over that one myself.

[Geronimo]

My words was all wrong ! There right now I hope ?.that call just torn me up ? TD all the way ! WOW lol.

One thing is James had one hand secure on the ball at all times. Where Bryant in the playoffs before changed hands and kept control while flipping over. This case James had one hand come off when he hit the ground. James is a big guy who probably can palm the football with 1 hand easily. I thought he controlled the ball with his right hand.

This catch rule needs to be changed anyway.

[farmer]

Eli Rogers comes out saying that Pittsburg will win the next time they play the Pats. Which coming from a player who doesn't make many plays on the field himself. Just play the game instead of insert excuse here.
One of the Best things about the Pats they do not run their mouths to the press.

[cbolt]

His left hand definitely lost control when he hit the ground causing it to move a little which would make it the right call with the rules they got, but like I said I hate that catch follow through all the way to the ground rule they conjured up a few years ago.

[dazed&confused]

I was priveledged to attend this game. Priceless. I didn't have a dog in the fight but what a game to see live. Wow!

[dazed&confused]

I was dumbfounded. Why didn't Ben spike the ball? Kick a field goal, go to OT at home. Bet Belichick and Brady would've done that!

I wonder what Hugh and Kizer would have done? Probably run the ball up the middle

Apples and oranges. The Browns are totally dysfunctional. The Steelers are competing for Super Bowls. Not any more in the near future if they call plays like that in the clutch. They should know better. And I'm still trying to dry out!

[Geronimo]

Big Ben was told from the side lines to go for it ! He wanted to spike it ! WOW lol
