[BlitzburghRockCity]

[BlitzburghRockCity]

[Big T]

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Ditto

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Tebow is a no go tonight according to NFL text I just got

[Big T]

great start...

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Damnit, where's the pass defense

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Friggin Timmons...calm down guys!

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Stupid penalties...

[BlitzburghRockCity]

big 3rd down here, hold em!!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Farrior lost his helmet on that last play, walked off under his own power

[HUNT4SEVEN]

As long as we hold em to 3 points i'm ok we always start out like this all the time...

[cheddabob]

i hope we are getting these stupid flags out of the way now so when the season comes we wont be doing stuff like this all the time

[airbrake 1]

would farriors helmet coming off make the refs blow the play dead with this new rule

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Farrior got his wig split...

[Big T]

Keyaron Fox needs to be in over Larry Foote...

[BlitzburghRockCity]

That was ugly, we gave them over 50 yds just in penalties

[DanRooney]

70 free yards due to penalties

[DanRooney]

Keyaron Fox needs to be in over Larry Foote...

yep :plus1:

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Santonio who?

[Big T]

beautiful...

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Hot Damn, great pass Ben to Wallace

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Pouncey is looking good the line is not getting pushed back

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Nice job Mendy, first down

[Big T]

Pouncey just owned Jamal Williams...

[BlitzburghRockCity]

running game looking good so far

[Big T]

Mendenhall playing with a broken arm. wow :lol:

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

Spin Master Mendy

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Pouncey, Flozell, and the rest of the OL are looking good so far

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Mendenhall playing with a broken arm. wow :lol:

LMaoooooo maybe he won't fumble now :lol:

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Damnit, we gotta cash in!!!

[HUNT4SEVEN]

That was on Ben

[DanRooney]

hines ward is pretty much useless on the field. i'm sorry put in emmanuel.

[DanRooney]

running game looking good so far

lots of yards off cutbacks. not impressed yet.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ben had Moore in stride and just missed it .ugh!!

[Big T]

All we here about is how vertile Mendenahall is and how he is this teams best option as the third down back, which I agree with. what happens on the first 3rd down? Mewelde freaking Moore.

[HUNT4SEVEN]

This is preseason

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon defense, stiffen up!!

[DanRooney]

ugh can't get off the field on third down

[DanRooney]

lol was keenan lewis getting grilled by tomlin?

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

Cmon D

[HUNT4SEVEN]

we need to get off the field on 3rd down this time...

[GoBenGo]

lol was keenan lewis getting grilled by tomlin?
He'll be hearing it again too. After the last play.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Good blitz that time by Taylor

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Damnit, there we go on 3rd down again!! WTf

[DanRooney]

50 is too slow

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Foote ain't SH%^

[GoBenGo]

Tomlins intense. I dig it

[BlitzburghRockCity]

We're lucky that spot was a yard short!

[DanRooney]

stefan logan is making this team

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Brown had nowhere to go, should have never fielded that one...

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

WTF Brown!??

[GoBenGo]

Nice catch,stupid

[Big T]

rookie mistake...

you take the bad with the good...

[airbrake 1]

Idiot never field inside the 10

[GoBenGo]

stefan logan is making this team

:yellowthumb:

[GoBenGo]

Mendy lookin good so far.

[Big T]

Maurkice Pouncey is making Jamal Williams his bitch...

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Pouncey is money, looking great. OL is solid so far

[GoBenGo]

First down! Yeah ward

[DanRooney]

wooo SANDERS

[GoBenGo]

That'll be a nice play at the goal line also.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

So far the offense is looking solid all around, moving the ball, pass and rush. OL is on the ball. WR's blocking well, backs hitting holes hard.

ST still suck

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Dixon in now for Ben

[GoBenGo]

DD. I like this kid.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon Dixon, settle down dude...

[GoBenGo]

D-sep is diesel

[HUNT4SEVEN]

What are we calling on Offense?

[Big T]

Comon Dixon, settle down dude...

ball was tipped

[HUNT4SEVEN]

So far the offense is looking solid all around, moving the ball, pass and rush. OL is on the ball. WR's blocking well, backs hitting holes hard.

ST still suck

It's funny seeing how good the o-line can be with a good center

[GoBenGo]

Gotta be the baddest m f ing. punter in the league

[BlitzburghRockCity]

lets go defense..comon!!!

[GoBenGo]

Orton down

[Big T]

f*cking beautiful. could Troy have times that any better?

[GoBenGo]

What was he thinking. That's James Harrison.

[airbrake 1]

Looked like a catch to me

[Big T]

Face Me Ike

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Big sack by Taylor!!! 4th down!! great defensive series!

[Big T]

Orton's shoulder is f*cked

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Now that's how you play Steeler defense..it's about time!

[GoBenGo]

Quinn. Lol.

[Big T]

Pouncey just tackled El lol

[DanRooney]

come on dixon

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon Dixon, get your head in the game..another bad pass

[GoBenGo]

Cmon dd.

[HUNT4SEVEN]

DD playin like this is gonna have him #2 if he doesn't get it together

[GoBenGo]

Is Arians trying to make dixon into leftwich.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

thank GOd for the penalty against denver

[HUNT4SEVEN]

It's about time DD

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Nice job DD!! 1st down at 14

[GoBenGo]

Who?....

[GoBenGo]

Redman is a beast

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Lets go guys, punch it in!!!

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

Throw it away!

[DanRooney]

dixon using his opportunity well

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Seriously DD!! Throw it away!!!

[GoBenGo]

Should have held that one.....

[HUNT4SEVEN]

:cursin:

[Big T]

that was a horrific decision...

[Koopa]

Seriously DD!! Throw it away!!!

been taking to much advise from ben.......and wtf with speth....pos should have at least tried going to get the ball......

[DanRooney]

dixon looks like ass

[BlitzburghRockCity]

You're not Ben here dude, don't pull shit like that!!!

[DanRooney]

been taking too much advice from ben?

[HUNT4SEVEN]

We are playing undisciplined ball on both sides of the ball

[Koopa]

referees baby these players........**** if they get hit unnecessarily......**** player safety....no one gives a **** about them outside of football

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon defense!!! Damnit!!!

[GoBenGo]

Timmons said no

[BlitzburghRockCity]

BIG 3rd down, get off the field!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

another shitty 3rd down play..comon!!

[DanRooney]

keyaran fox covering eddie royal? wtf

[Big T]

RT had Woodley's helmet on that.

[DanRooney]

keenan lewis looks like shit

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Defense getting shredded now.. comon!!

[Big T]

this shit is getting ridiculous...

[airbrake 1]

Tomlinson needs to get these guys under control

[GoBenGo]

Tomlins gonna be owning him.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Tomlin just read Lewis the riot act!

[Big T]

"What the f*ck are you doin? huh?" - Mike Tomlin to Keenan Lewis. Love that shit

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Man this is embarrassing...

[Big T]

Tomlinson needs to get these guys under control

edited...

[GoBenGo]

At least Its not real

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Good defense that time, 3rd down coming up

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Did the bring Gay in instead of lewis?

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Good recovery by defense, forcing FG now

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

Lewis is playing like trash against average recievers

[Big T]

Can we please score before the half?

[DanRooney]

time to draft a CB. lewis sucks. gay sucks. burnett sucks.

[GoBenGo]

I really hope we make tebow irrelevant....

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ok lets go offense, right down the field

[DanRooney]

Can we trade for Lewis and Jeff Reed for Prater?

[airbrake 1]

Too bad we can't get kickoffs like that

[DanRooney]

woo Max Starks

[GoBenGo]

time to draft a CB. lewis sucks. gay sucks. burnett sucks.

Lol gay sucks. :hilarious: False Starks. :grin1:

[Big T]

yikes...

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Flo is worse than Colon was...

[DanRooney]

this is embarrassing

[airbrake 1]

That was the most blatant penalty ever

[DanRooney]

wow dixon what a terrible pass

[Big T]

Another horrible decision...

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Dixon isn't as good with the first team

[Big T]

How is that not called?

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Is Lefty starting the third?

[GoBenGo]

More shoulder than helmet on that hit, to be fair. .....clean. Tough but clean. dD is a tough dude. ..

[nuclearchihuahuas]

How is that not called?

Clearly only our defense can have personal fouls tonight

[airbrake 1]

There shouldn't have been a penalty that was a good hit...pretty soon any hard hit will draw a flag

[DanRooney]

I mean players like Dixon and Lewis aren't stepping up to the plate at all when their opportunity is called. Very disheartening.

[GoBenGo]

...but they have called much more closer ones....

[nuclearchihuahuas]

nice! way to go gay

[Big T]

More shoulder than helmet on that hit, to be fair. .....clean. Tough but clean. dD is a tough dude. ..

true. the replay didnt look as bad...

in other news BIG PLAY WILLIE GAY!!

[airbrake 1]

Wow I can't believe gay made that play

[DanRooney]

wtf offside?

[nuclearchihuahuas]

ok thats better

[nuclearchihuahuas]

go MM!

[airbrake 1]

Way to fight for the first down mewelde

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon now guys, lets do this..TD!!!

[Big T]

TD please?

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Brown!

[Big T]

quick

[nuclearchihuahuas]

TD please?

seriously!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Chit!

[Big T]

Oh Trai essex.

[HUNT4SEVEN]

The right side of of line sucks

[nuclearchihuahuas]

blew past essex

[nuclearchihuahuas]

crap!

[DanRooney]

so dixon #1 QB?

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Dixon is NOT impressing tonight at all!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

when I asked for a TD I meant us!

[Big T]

Dennis Dixon just blew any hope he had of winning the starting job.

Bring on Lefty....

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

......

[Dako]

kinda reminds me of maddox

[HUNT4SEVEN]

We are screwed come week one thur week four

[nuclearchihuahuas]

suddenly I think we are in deep doo doo the first 4 weeks

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Dennis Dixon just blew any hope he had of winning the starting job.

Bring on Lefty....

:yellowthumb:

[airbrake 1]

I guess the Dixon love affair is coming to an abrupt end

[GoBenGo]

Groan. Hey it's PS. Better now

[DanRooney]

it was the same play that was almost INTd the first time

[BlitzburghRockCity]

He's just not seeing the field very well tonight at all

[DanRooney]

Dixon can't throw worth shit.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

thank god for half time

[GoBenGo]

Time to make a leftwich?.

[Big T]

very disappointing performances by two guys who had every opportunity to win starting jobs, in Dixon and Lewis.

On a bright note, Maurkice Pouncey is a f*cking stud...

[DanRooney]

really inexcusable throwing 2 picks in the redzone. we're supposed to be getting rid of ben for this guy though right?

[airbrake 1]

Bring on cliff stoudt

[Black@Gold Forever32]

Besides Dixon's struggles which are so clear a blind man can see.....But the defense can't get off the field on third down again.....Plus the red zone offense is struggling even when Ben has been in there in two games this pre-season........Forget about Dixon since he blew his chance.....But the defense must get off the field on third down and the red zone offense must put more points on the board.....Just an all around ugly game for the Steelers tonight.....

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ive said all along it was Lefty's job to lose. Playing against starters is proving tough for DD

[GoBenGo]

BSP on speed dial

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Yea Pouncey proved that he can hold his own, the writing is on the wall for Hartpig good ridance

[DanRooney]

Also what's with this comeback route sanders keeps running? it's just terrible. arians needs to use his quickness and coming to a complete stop and running back is not how to do it.

[GoBenGo]

Orton looks like Hi in Raising Arizona....Can just picture him saying "Nathan needs some huggies..."

[airbrake 1]

I definitely agree pounced has been impressive...I really didn't think a rookie could start at center ...guess I was mistaken perhaps we've found the next dermontti Dawson

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

At least we actually got to see someone at fullback tonight

[DanRooney]

Pouncey and Ike had good games today. Ben looks sharp and poised. Timmons keeps blowing up his man. That's about all of the positives to come out of this.

[Black@Gold Forever32]

Also what's with this comeback route sanders keeps running? it's just terrible. arians needs to use his quickness and coming to a complete stop and running back is not how to do it.

BA is in mid-season form with his play-calling that is for sure.......You know Arians he won't use his players to his strengths but stick to what he wants since he is so stubborn/clueless.....

[GoBenGo]

Yea Pouncey proved that he can hold his own, the writing is on the wall for Hartpig good ridance
:yellowthumb: Pouncey has looked real good so far...loving that....:tt02:

[HUNT4SEVEN]

The play book will open up when Bryon comes in...

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Logan back there now..out of the endzone

[DanRooney]

Damn I really wanted to see Logan return that

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Dixon back out there

[GoBenGo]

Nice start

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Good play to Moore, 1st down that time.. 15 yds

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

Cmon DD, rebound and get us a TD

[DanRooney]

bunch of trash playcalling. no play action?

[Big T]

That was a nice throw...

[DanRooney]

dixons passes hang in the air so long with barely any velocity.

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Pouncey blocks 2 people

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

DD!!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Dixon 29 yd run...so NOW he starts playing...

[Big T]

nice run. too bad he's looked like such shit in the passing game. we could use that while Ben's out...

[airbrake 1]

Nice run...I guess the love affair might not be over

[nuclearchihuahuas]

love the screeching halt...nice run

[DanRooney]

put hartwig in i think we've all seen enough from pouncey

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon offense, do something!!!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

holding--crap

[airbrake 1]

Wow was that a hold

[Big T]

obvious hold. right infront of the officials...

[nuclearchihuahuas]

nice catch

[Big T]

put hartwig in i think we've all seen enough from pouncey

I never want Hartwig to play another snap as a Steeler...

nice throw DD

[nuclearchihuahuas]

we should go for it

[BlitzburghRockCity]

4th and 1, lets get this!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

lets see if Redman can pick this up

[Big T]

4&1 I'd usually be all for pounding it up the middle. with Dixon out there, bootleg that shit and get him out in space...

[DanRooney]

lol ben is having a good time. he's probably thinking, "this is the guy that some of our dumb fans wanted to replace me with?"

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

PA Rollout DD!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

If they can score here the starters will get pulled

[Big T]

lol ben is having a good time. he's probably thinking, "this is the guy that some of our dumb fans wanted to replace me with?"

this...

[DanRooney]

rollout sweet

[nuclearchihuahuas]

well that sucked

[airbrake 1]

Terrible

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Stall out inside the redzone, imagine that!

[GoBenGo]

No one fooled there....

[DanRooney]

Machete movie is gonna be sweet

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

Damn shoulda pounded it with redzone

[Big T]

I like the play, just terrible execution. that was some horrendous blocking...

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Horrible vanilla play calling

[Big T]

As a gator fan, I love me some Tebow lol

[nuclearchihuahuas]

troy is still playing

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Defensive starters still in

[GoBenGo]

Tebow in against the big boys.

[DanRooney]

No one fooled there....

it was so not obvious we all were calling for the play before it was called! :banana:

[GoBenGo]

Now, are they allowed to tackle tebow...tebow tebow tebow....bleah...at least we aren't hearing favre or manning name every three seconds.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

too much dancing by logan

[Big T]

too much dancing there Stefan...

[Big T]

too much dancing by logan

:lol:

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Defense held that time..get them out of there now...no use keeping them in at this point...young guys need work

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

too much dancing
