    Steelers draw first blood. I really wish it was snowing out there.

    If the Ravens had cornerbacks, it'd be one of the greatest defenses of all time.

    Chris McAlister and Samari Rolle both out and Suggs, Reed, and Bannan are banged up.

    On the Hines Ward play, Leonhard took out Reed, leading to the big play.

    :lol: at least he corrected himself. The announcers are often too stupid and/or arrogant to do so.

    Frank Walker, the ex-Giant, is terrible at cornerback, bad on special teams, and is a personal foul machine.

    Both QBs getting a lot of time. Part of it is that the defenses aren't sending that many.

    deja vu with Tomlin and Harbaugh both challenging. That happened with Reid and Childress as well two weeks ago.

    Would've been more fun had they taken Tomlin's challenge and then ruled it incomplete, costing Tomlin a challenge and timeout as well.

    Never seen a QB as good as Big Ben at escaping arm tackles.

    Roethliesberger is very elusive in the pocket. Great job by him.

    poor tackling by the Ravens secondary on several plays.

    the blitzes can't bring roethlisberger down and he can tear apart the weak secondary, given time.

    Ray Rice with a great stiff arm to James Farrior to convert a 3rd and 13. The only big play on offense for Baltimore.

    terrible pass by Flacco to the flat, but then he hits Clayton with a good throw on 3rd and 10.

    Ravens need a TD on this drive to stay in this.

    Flacco had time to get rid of it and didn't

    they had it at the pitt 40 on first down and now they punted.


    Ouch

    that was stupid. you call off the blitz if they audible the coverage

    you don't blitz when you know it's coming.


    HUGE challenge because baltimore is out of challenges if it isn't overturned


    it's going to be ruled a catch.


    Baltimore is in huge trouble

    Because they took Harbaugh's challenge instead of Tomlin's, Ravens are out of challenges.
