Seahawks vs Steelers - Game 2 - 9/18/11 - 1pm

[BlitzburghRockCity]

http://www.steeleraddicts.com/img/gameday/2011/seahawksvssteelers.jpg


After getting blown out in week 1, the Steelers will try to bounce back against the visiting Seahawks. Neither team looked good in the first game of the season but the Steelers actually probably looked worse overall.

In order to get back on track and keep pace in the division the Steelers must get a win this weekend. Seattle is clearly in a rebuilding mode and the Steelers figure to win big in this one, however nothing is a guarantee. Look for Pittsburgh to establish the run early and mix in play action to keep Ben away from the pressure. Also keep an eye on rookie Marcus Gilbert who will be starting at RT after Willie Colon tore his triceps on Sunday and was put on IR.

On paper this should be a big Steelers win, however they have a lot to prove after last week and Seattle won't just roll over.

Home field advantage. Bounce back, boys!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Jerricho Cotchery is still questionable for this game. We should know more today about his status (hamstring).

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Cotchery is out. Kemo and BMac are questionable.

Just over 24 hours till kickoff! This is redemption Sunday, gotta have this one!!

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

The gulls vs the Steelers. Yinz gotta turn this ship around.

[Farrior Fan]

We had better win by 30. I really hate Seachicks fans, we won by 11 points and it was 6 years ago. QUITYABITCHIN.

Anyone know of a good feed for the game? It isn't on here. PM me please.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Just a few hours away, time to get this monkey off our back and get a win!

[NOVA STEELERS]

STEELERS FOOTBALL :cope:

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

While I'm waitin think I'll get some breakfast. lol

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

Some of our injured: kemo most likely out (foster a LG), cotchery out, colon... Who else?

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

Only 2 hags left from that most momentous of games back in 05. We have 15 from that game. Does this mean anything?

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Less than 90 minutes away!!

Sidney Rice is inactive today for the hawks

[BlitzburghRockCity]

BMac and Kemo are both inactive today!!!

[Nolrog]

Kemo and BMac are questionable.


According to ESPN, they are both inactive.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6986056/week-2-inactives

[Nolrog]

BMac and Kemo are both inactive today!!!

I guess that means Tomlin will play with only 1 corner and 4 linemen, cause he sure as hell can't give a kid some time.

[NOVA STEELERS]

I better not need :shots: to make the pain go away this week

[nick5574]

does anyone have a stream for the game? it is not televised here in southern california :cursin:

Kemo is inactive. McFadden is Inactive. Cotchery is Inactive.

[coach]

I am hoping to see some focus and execution this week. I had to retire my Steelers t-shirt last week after they lost the SB and game 1. It went 0-2.

Here we go Steelers. :cope:

[SteelDad]

Greetings Nation! Hate to use the term 'must win' but I think it is accurate today in many ways.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Seahags have the youngest OL in the league today.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Steelers in the toss, take the ball first

[Mike Tomlin]

Can somebody send me a link thanks!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ok lets do this AB

[Farrior Fan]

[Farrior Fan]

[BlitzburghRockCity]

[BlitzburghRockCity]

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

[BlitzburghRockCity]

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Hell yeah, first and goal!!!!

[MattyVfromCT]

i can hear the ref whining from seattle over that one.......

[SteelDad]

justin.tv feed is very choppy. Anyone find anything better?

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Wow Marcus, really??

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ben scrambled down at the 1 inch line

[SteelDad]

Go for it!

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

what the fock

[BlitzburghRockCity]

TO here, no question you go for it!

[SteelDad]

That's terrible. You're down by the goal line, everyone should be ready to go depending upon the package called. No way should we be blowing a TO there.

[connecticutsteel]

here we go again o- line got nothing

[BlitzburghRockCity]

How fitting for a goal line play to come down a review for Bill Leavy

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Fake the handoff and hit the tackle eligible in the endzone!

[NOVA STEELERS]

To make up for his so called "bad call" he will go against the STEELERS

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

Wow Pissburgh couldn't even punch it in. Shiate.

[SteelDad]

Brutal.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Are you kidding me, no Redman??? and pressure up the middle!

[MikeAFC]

First & goal at 1 & it comes down to this?!!!!

[SteelrFan]

Any live tv feeds ?

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Don't waste that challenge!!!

[MattyVfromCT]

bad challenge..........

[DanRooney]

Tomlin is a moron

[connecticutsteel]

aweful bloody awful and then a stupid challenge

[MikeAFC]

That play will define our whole season watch! Effin pathetic!!!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

4 chances on the 1 and you can't score!! Really!!

[SteelDad]

Terrible challenge. Tomlin is having as poor a year as his team.

[Speeed]

I knew they were not going to make it. They had momentum, and could have had a 3 point lead, but now they have show the Seahawks they can stop the Steelers.

It is like the Steelers are sooooo desperate to get a touchdown.

[MattyVfromCT]

facepalm.......

[DanRooney]

Earl Thomas tackling Mendenhall...

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Good pressure that time byt he defense

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Defense fired up, loss of 1..get off the field!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

NOW THAT IS STEELERS DEFENSE RIGHT THERE

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

least they aint gettin away from them.

[Blazedby92]

Spindarella put his shoulder down or jump the first chance would be in the situation

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Offsetting... would have been an extra 15 yds for the Steelers on that minimal return

[connecticutsteel]

we should be smokin these chumps

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon Ben, you can't miss that!

[Nolrog]

anyone with a good live feed? I checked the sticky and none are working....PM me please

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ok, convert this 3rd down!!

If Goodell fined Tomlin for poor use of challenge flags I would not argue.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

[BlitzburghRockCity]

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

Weak ass gay make the damn tackle

[BlitzburghRockCity]

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

This game should be over by half time if we take care of business...

[SteelDad]

Tunch said, "Gadzooks."

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Defense all over the short routes.

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

if seatle didn't suck they would be up by two since our defense went home today.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

Foster should of played against the rats he opened a hell of a hole for Redman

[Farrior Fan]

[BlitzburghRockCity]

comon defense, bring the pressure

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

We should score a TD every time we get the ball nothing less...

[SteelDad]

Looks like they are doubling on Woodley and Harrison a lot. Glad to see Deisel taking advantage of that.

[Farrior Fan]

Keisel having a day!!

I just said to my wife that it seems like the beard has been in the backfield a lot. Good to see.

[connecticutsteel]

it looks like they are getting in shape in front of my eyes better and better

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

[SteelDad]

[connecticutsteel]

[Farrior Fan]

Just goes to show how badly Baltimore wanted it last week.

They wanted it like Casey Hampton wants a large pizza and a cheesesteak at halftime.

[SteelDad]

They wanted it like Casey Hampton wants a large pizza and a cheesesteak at halftime.

And suddenly I'm starving...

[NOVA STEELERS]

HEATHHHHHHHH

[Farrior Fan]

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

Our season is over now for sure

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Great play to Heath..first and goal. personal foul too.. Ben is down!

[NOVA STEELERS]

Ben got him from behind after the play, he may be hurt

[SteelDad]

OK, there we go! Cheap shot indeed.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Batch is now in..crowd cheers

[connecticutsteel]

dirty utr ****ers

[SteelDad]

Hit the damn hole Mendy. Quit dancing.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ben testing out his knee on the sideline

[NOVA STEELERS]

Damn jump outside Mendie

[Farrior Fan]

didn't look so unintentional to me

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

no one wanted to see ben down that is for sure.

[Farrior Fan]

come on BA, call a bubble screen or a reverse to Wallace

[MikeAFC]

Damn just imagine if we were playing someone good & we had to score from short yardage! Scary!

[SteelDad]

didn't look so unintentional to me

Brock knew exactly what he was doing. He could have easily avoided that hit.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ben is back in the game

[connecticutsteel]

i bet you he doesn't get fined or suspended

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

ben takin big chance

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

WTF was that? they should of left BEN out...

[MattyVfromCT]

Brock knew exactly what he was doing. He could have easily avoided that hit.

but we're the steelers. "NOBODY" ever takes cheap shots at us. only the steelers are "dirty"...........

[BlitzburghRockCity]

ok, 17-0 now

[MattyVfromCT]

i bet you he doesn't get fined or suspended

of course not, he aint wearing black and gold. we know how goodell rolls.........

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

no shiate. ben coulda stayed out on that one for sure

[SteelDad]

Arians playcalling in the Red Zone is abysmal. No creativity. No reaction to the defense. Just terrible.

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

I hate to say this but i think this is a superbowl hangover kinda of year, but we need to have a bad season so we can draft a whole new O-Line with the exception of Pouncey and sum new CB's

[BlitzburghRockCity]

titans ahead 9-7 on baltimore

[SteelDad]

i bet you he doesn't get fined or suspended

Actually, Goodell just called. Ben has been suspended for not being injured enough.

[SteelDad]

titans ahead 9-7 on baltimore

Giggity

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Timmons and Woodley on the sack

[MattyVfromCT]

Actually, Goodell just called. Ben has been suspended for not being injured enough.

:lol::plus1:

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Keenan Lewis in on the tackle

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Larry Foote in for Farrior again

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ben easing his way to locker room

[MattyVfromCT]

Ben easing his way to locker room

dont like how that looks..........

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Complete domination by STeelers. Double and triple in all stats.

[Nolrog]

Actually, Goodell just called. Ben has been suspended for not being injured enough.

And Harrison was fined 50K just because it's Sunday.

[SteelDad]

dont like how that looks..........

Agreed. I hope we can get another TD or two and get him on the bench.

[igor0190]

Larry Foote in for Farrior again

Saw this earlier... Looks like Farriors time as a full time player is up... Bring on Sly

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/647/james-farrior

Steelers ILB James Farrior will not play a full set of snaps for the remainder of the season.Said Farrior, "I'm cool with it. I think it will help out in the long run, in November and December." Farrior and Larry Foote will rotate as the 'mack' linebacker, making it a situation to avoid in IDP leagues. Sep 18 - 10:02 AM

[connecticutsteel]

i'm no doctor but if it was a torn up knee he would be out it seems to be spained

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

Arians playcalling in the Red Zone is abysmal. No creativity. No reaction to the defense. Just terrible.

exactly we are so freaking predictable...

[MikeAFC]

Damn all this $$$$ going to LB's & only 1 sack thru 1 & 1/2 games

[jpele]

Crossing fingers that Ben is ok, if I'm coaching Batch finishes the game. With a 17 point lead the D should be able to pin their ears backand control the rest of the game.

Rub some dirt on it!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Steelers making plays but not showing any emotion

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Good play by Gay to separate the ball

[NOVA STEELERS]

Gay acting like he did something :duh:

[SteelDad]

OK now. Solid drive resulting in TD then get Chuck in there if necessary.

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

Good play by Gay to separate the ball

You mean great play by TJ to through the ball to high or the Defense would still be on the field

[SteelDad]

So how bad is KC? Lose to Buffalo 41-7 now Bills losing at home to raiders 21-3. WTF???

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

Legs SUCKS...

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Where's the flag!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

He had Wallace wide open and over threw him. ComoN!!

[Farrior Fan]

flag is stuck in the refs pocket .... Goodell is "forgiving" Silverback for his comments in his own way.

[SteelDad]

That was a pathetic 3 and out. I've seen corpses with more enthusiasm.

[MikeAFC]

Wow offense looked awesome that drive! Not lol

[SteelDad]

No doubt in my mind now that Seattle going after his knees. That's 3 hits like that now.

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

He had Wallace wide open and over threw him. ComoN!!

It's gonna be that kind of year,Ben is usually money in the beginning of the year:cursin:

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Troy with the SACK!!!

[SteelDad]

A troy polamalu appearance...

[MikeAFC]

Yes titans score td

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

If somebody would block AB would have some nice return yards

[SteelDad]

Yes titans score td

I think a certain team in purple is having a bit of a letdown today. Drinking a lot of the koolaid perhaps????

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Offense going into a shell here in the 3rd quarter again.

[CLEVELANDSTEEL]

great run mendy
