Week 1 Discussion (Other Games)

[Cville-Raven]

Wasn't even blocked

[A Fish Called Yanda]

This game is just a showcase of ineptitude.

[MissK528]

Polamalu almost got an INT. I was hoping he'd be falling off finally...

[Cville-Raven]

lol Troy will never have Ed's skills

[Cville-Raven]

Herp Derp Roethlisberger

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Ben crushed, and throws an INT.

 

 

hahaha.

[Ravenslifer]

Jesus I'm jealous of Brees having Colston - here's to hoping Brown becomes that guy for Joe.

[T3hRaven]

Suh apparently did something dirty, but directv is finally working so I missed it.  I got the 4 windows going, Atl-NO, Chi-Cin, and BUF-NE.

[Cville-Raven]

lol that was probably the ugliest ball I've ever seen

[ratedr]

Andy Dalton pick #2.

Big Ben the "dark horse" in the race for the league MVP. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Classic Roethlisberger.  He's never learned how to take the sack.

7th round/UDFA is about a wash.  Here's hoping.  Just remember that Colston is mostly a slot receiver who utilizes his size and hands to create a mismatch against the nickelback most of the time.  I think a lot of people think he's an outside receiver because of his production.  Ultimately it doesn't matter, just an interesting point to make about him IMO.

[Cville-Raven]

Andy Dalton pick #2.

Yet people still pick them to win the division.

[PolishRifle]

Andy Dalton pick #2.

I cannot overstate the fact that Joe needed almost 6 times as many attempts to throw 2 picks. And people question Joe's decision making?

lol did you see that ball. It was literally spinning side ways.

That's the kind of receiver I'm hoping Brown becomes - we've got speed on the outside, we lost our slot guy in Boldin, and I'd love it if Brown could replace him.  It would be nice to finally catch a break on a late round receiver - oddly enough, the last guy who fit that description for us was Stoke.

Thank ya sir, that'd be it.

 

AP has his second TD already.

Andy Dalton also has 2 number 1 receivers (including one many people are touting as a top 5 receiver in the league) and 2 first round tight ends.  Joe has never had any of that (unless you count Clayton and Heap).

3rd pick for Brandon Weeden...

[A Fish Called Yanda]

I keep seeing RBs lowering their helmet and leading with the crown of their head, but see no flags.

 

Shouldn't that be flagged now?

[JO_75]

I can not believe Carolina is leading Seattle, wow.

[Cville-Raven]

3rd pick for Brandon Weeden...

lol

[MrPlankton]

Hell, I'll take getting rocked by a top team like the Broncos any day over the mess that the Steelers and Browns games have been so far.

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Crap spot.

 

EDIT: Nevermind - was actually generous to the Titans.

 

 

Great 12th effort by the RB and O-line there.

[JO_75]

All these Baseball like scores today.

[Cville-Raven]

lol everyone else in our division looks really bad also.

[Ravenslifer]

Thank ya sir, that'd be it.

That guy's a freak - who tears an ACL and MCL and then comes back to potentially post 2 straight 2000 yard seasons?

Every QB makes questionable decisions at times, people just like to pick on Joe for his, especially around these parts.  And his two picks weren't even the bad.  The first one the defender make a really tough leaping catch and Stokley didn't fight for the ball the way Boldin would have.  The second one I saw a breakdown of where we were reusing a play we did earlier in the game where Rice got motioned into a stack behind the receiver to get a clean break on the out.  The first time Torrey disrupted the defender getting to Rice, the second time Brown just kinda ran his route.  I don't blame the rookie for not getting in his way, he doesn't know any better at this point, I just thought it was an interesting break down.

I can. That was my upset of the week.
