The Pack is back! Amazing performance

Congrats fudge packers!
If Seattle can beat the Bears tomorrow the game will be in Seattle- how crazy is that!
I doubt that it happens but stranger things have happened ask New Orleans!

Bwahahahaha poor Steelers

Bawahahahahaha


Poor Ravens


Lmao

[jcindaville]

I really think the Ravens are the better team overall.

Uhhhhhh


Not

[jcindaville]

Thanks Wayne, I was looking forward to playing your boys next.

I just took a walk outside to cool off, just a fiucking brutal loss, Flacco did not cost them this game, the OC did.

I really think the Pats match up better against the Steelers than they do the Ravens. Pats will roll them as the Steelers refs wont travel and superior coaching makes the difference.

Steelers refs
My Lord, u had 150 yards of offense, Steelers own the Ravens. Wake up man, flacco has swallowed so much of Bens DNA it ain't even funny.

U couldn't muster 200 yards and you got beat, suck it up and don't blame the refs

[DBURGH]

I have to agree here, why does everyone insist on blaming the refs? Steelers D dominated the overrated Flacco. It was one hell of a game, glad I was on the winning side.

Penalties in the game:

Baltimore 6 -74
Pittsburgh 9-93

Both teams had a big PI penalty that led to scores, the holding on the punt return was obvious. They still had the ball 1 st and goal at the 8 and couldn't score a TD when it mattered. Talk about penalties, look how many times Pitt was pinned in bad position by penalties on returns. Blame your defense for not being able to stop Ben on a 3rd and 19.

[DBURGH]

Look at this box score and show me where Baltimore was the better team? Start with 1st downs and go all the way to time of possession.

Piss poor calling by the Ravens OC. You don't run the ball 2 times in a row from the 7 yard line against the best rushing defense. And the receiver should have caught the ball for a TD.

As for the punt return the holding call wasn't obvious. On replay all they showed was the play from the backside. They had no other camera angles? That would have shown whether he clinched his hands on the jersey or if he didn't.

Steelers had the ball almost 9 minutes longer and barely won. Usually a team having the ball that much more wins more easily. Not saying Baltimore is better than Pittsburgh, but I do believe they could of and should have won that game.

Not gonna say the refs cost Balt the game, but that holding call on the punt was a iffy.

[LVJimmy]

Shit, c'mon Crumpler, you gotta hold onto that.

[LVJimmy]

This is how teams stay in games...interceptions, dropped passes, etc.

[LVJimmy]

I think this game is dundee...whoever wins these playoff games is covering so I don't see NE winning (and covering). Fuck, I hate the Jets.
