There were 92 yards between the Steelers and the Raven’s goal line. Roughly 2:45 later and Big Ben was hitting Santonio Holmes for the game-winning touchdown. Three of their last five victories have required a late-game comeback of some sort. The controversial ending in San Diego had a late 4th quarter drive to set up the winning field goal by Reed. Last week against the Cowboys saw a late drive tie the game before Deshea…
Now Joe Flacco remembers what it’s like to play against the top defensive unit in the NFL. After two straight months of beating up on the mid-tier teams and the bottom feeders of the NFL, the Ravens ran head first into a freight train. Full of ill-advised bravado and superficial confidence, the Ravens offense was soundly whipped on it’s own turf. And while their mouthy, bounty-paying, over-confident defense rested on the sidelines, they had the…
Ah yes, it’s Ravens Week for the Steelers. It promises to be a slobber-knocker, a knock-down drag-out last-man-standing slug-o-rama! It’s a real first-team-to-9-wins hoedown! Yeah buddy. No knives or guns allowed though, somebody tell Ray Ray to leave his shiv in the locker room. All brass knuckles must be properly taped. This is a game of significance. For the Ravens to entertain any hope of winning the AFC North division, they simply must have this…
A question if you please, “What is the force most likely to derail the Steelers‘ goal this season?” The answer, of course, “It’s the offense, stupid. “ Or, “It’s the stupid offense!” And while I have your eye, “When will Bruce Arians’ reign of terror end?” If you said, “It’ll be over when we awake,” then congratulations! (“Wake me when it’s over,” is also acceptable.) Yes, we need only wake to be free of…
Back in November with the Steelers sitting at 6-3 following a gut-wrenching loss to the Indianapolis Colts (does that game remind you of anything?) conventional wisdom stated that the Steelers must win their next two games. Both of those were at home and against some of the weaker foes (San Diego, Cincinnati) they would face for the remainder of the regular season. They did it and then some. No, it wasn’t easy nor was it…
(Think, Let It Snow!) Oh, the Steelers‘ offense was frightful But the late comeback? Delightful Why didn’t he find TO? Thanks, Romo! Thanks, Romo! Thanks, Romo! Oh, the first half had fans shaking The game was there for the taking Forth and two to go Thanks, Romo! Thanks, Romo! Thanks, Romo! Oh, the Steelers‘ defense was flying But the third quarter left fans crying Fifteen more minutes to go Thanks, Romo! Thanks, Romo! Thanks, Romo!…
Note to Coach Phillips: avoid puffy, over-stuffed winter wear. Choose a regular winter hat over a roundish puffy hat if wearing a roundish puffy coat. You’ve heard of the Michelin Man, right? No? You will. Just trying to help, Coach Cupcake.
