"You got a pretty mouth" Steelers/Browns game thread

[Hikohadon]

BTW - raise your hand if you expected the Browns to have a much better first half showing with McCoy vs. the Steelers than the Buckeyes vs. Wisconsin?

[Cerebral_DownTime]

It's a violent game. Hits happen. Maybe a flag on the Mass hit, but lets be realistic here, if it was Ward, we'd be cheering.

Nah you don't throw a flag on that. Harrison just put a whoopin on a soft little WR, it's football, people need to quit crying about fines and other nonsense.

hitting is fine.

cheapshotting with helmet-to-helmet hits its quite a pussy way to do things.

It wasn't a cheap shot, it was an NFL HIT on a soft target.

The Buc's always have their own special ways of sabotaging their seasons.

Yeah...I was thinking that myself.

Let's just see how drunk I can get before I have to get to the airport for that flight to Chicago.

[Noodle]

Can someone please put a helmet on Mendenhall's skull? It would only be the equivalent of one pitcher throwing at the other team after one of his own has been plunked.

[Noodle]

The D seems to be getting better pressure on POS in the 2nd half.

[daddywags]

I cant wait until MH fires this group of coaches.

Pitt punts from its own endzone, time runs out.

Wait, there is a flag and the Browns can make Pitt punt again form its own endzone, this time 5 yards futther back.

Manginous decides not to make Pitt punt again, there's a doughnut screaming his name in the lockerroom.

I'm speechless.

That's not what the refs said the penalty was. It was one untimed down after a five yard penalty from the spot of the ball. We would have had one play from our 40 yard line.

[Hikohadon]

Play action buying the QB time? Huh, who'd a thunk it?

[British_Pharaoh]

I like Stuckey

[Madre Hill, Superstar]

Jake who?

[Noodle]

Stuckey was a good pickup...for a solid #3 receiver.

[jack_tors]

Say what you will but I dont think McCoy has looked that bad out there. For his first NFL start vs a good defense, getting blitzed all day and losing 2 receivers, kid is hanging in there. Still a long way to go but so far he hasnt done anything really stupid yet.

Of course we would. But there'd also be a flag.

It doesn't matter if we appreciate the physicality or if we would love it if our guys did that to them. There are rules, and I guarantee that TJ Ward would've been flagged.

The Steelers have been the beneficiary of soft referreeing for years.

Exactly. We would love our guys to be delivering hits but the would expect and accept the flags that came with them.

Like Hiko said, this isn't 'Nam EW, there are rules.

[daddywags]

Both hits were penalties the way I understand NFL rules. The first one was a helmet to helmet blow which is illegal anywhere on the field, I think. The second one was closer, but it was a shot to the head on a defenseless receiver. I disagree with the defenseless receiver rule exactly because it's too subjective, but the rule is the rule.

No clue why they don't make 'em re-kick that. Block it, bad snap, fair catch and free kick on a shorter punt....

No sense. I agree 100%.

[yogi]

Thanks for that clarification.

I had thought I heard that we could make pitt punt again.

BTW, I wish that down player on the field was harrison istead of Eason.

[motherscratcher]

Holy Shit, I pulled a Souldawg

[Erie Warrior]

Waiting way too long for those throws. Not anticipating.

[peeker643]

Still- Throw the effing ball up in the air and see what happens. You have nothing to lose.

[Triple-S]

how many uncalled offsides penalties has there been?

[Noodle]

McCoy has been pretty good on 3rd downs today.

[Triple-S]

welp..here comes ratliff.

fuck, what is it with our QB's and hurt ankles?

[Noodle]

Ratliff? My feed is way behind.

[Erie Warrior]

Clearly Hodges is using square grooves.

[Noodle]

Those refs are on top of their shit, huh?

[British_Pharaoh]

punting has been immaculate

[peeker643]

McCoy needs to learn to get rid of the effing football. I know he's young but he's way too quick to pull it down and the sack there you just can't have.

If you're bright enough in college to do it you can do it on Sunday as well.

[Noodle]

Special teams is great today.

[jack_tors]

how many uncalled offsides penalties has there been?

Just said the same thing. Seen at least 3 times Polamalu and some other fuck are lined up in the neutral zone. They have no problem calling penalties on the Browns but nothing has been called on those inbreds.

[statmasta]

this secondary is shit

[Cerebral_DownTime]

KILL THE RAPIST!

[aoxo1]

Ward's gotta turn around faster there.

[motherscratcher]

Is that Elam's job? To make sure that 50 yard gains don't become touchdowns?

[Cerebral_DownTime]

Nice job, DBs.

[Noodle]

Wright can't even come close to POS on a blitz.

[British_Pharaoh]

Obviously didn't hit him hard enough

Shit

[aoxo1]

Is that Elam's job? To make sure that 50 yard gains don't become touchdowns?

Neither S any good in coverage.

[Noodle]

And this is where the game is lost.

[statmasta]

Eric Wright allows another touchdown.

ho hum

just another day at the office for him, I guess

[aoxo1]

Nice tackle Sheldon.

Nice tackle Eric.

[motherscratcher]

Am I crazy or did the RT jump?

[Cerebral_DownTime]

What a pussy.

[peeker643]

Holy shit. 1st play I can remember Elam making in two years.

[Mr. X]

embarrassing

[mitch]

Please, SOMEONE explain to me why Wright shouldn't be cut NOW.

[jack_tors]

I wish someone would literally set Eric Wright on fire.

[British_Pharaoh]

Eric Wright you complete and utter waste of skin

[statmasta]

Has anybody ever seen a worse cornerback than Eric Wright?

[peeker643]

Fuck the clorox. Eric Wright can drink a bottle of fucking bone cancer for all I care.
