Official Vent Thread Steelers

[psalms91]

That QB run on the 3 and 2 killed us, it was clear as day they didn't make it and his knee was down

[The Mom Gene]

Let's be honest here - this was impossible to win. Harbaugh needs to say something, not just that he isn't allowed to comment on the refs.

I'll be disappointed if he doesn't.

[Cville-Raven]

lol these threads 

[Raving_Heathen]

We weren't winning this game regardless that fumble by Taliaferro set the tone for the rest of the game.

 

Yeah that was insane... It really looked like Ravens were on their way to dominating this game then boom...

[ravefan52]

We might be the most inconsistent team in the league. One game we're SB contenders and the next we're looking like a bottom half of the league team

[kennethyamini1989]

I feel you but there was 53 guys getting paid to do a job and more than a few coaches in the same exact boat. I saw a few missed or bad calls but thats every game the guys on the field and on the sideline holding the clipboards are paid to not let the refs decide the game and lets face it the last 2 weeks the Ravens Mine and your  Ravens have stunk it up and not done the job at hand. If you want to take it further right now to make the playoffs we have got to hope other teams beat the Steelers, Bengals and Browns because were sitting in last place and its NO ONES FAULT BUT THE RAVENS.

you and i didnt watch the same game then. 

[AsianRice]

I'm just sad...sad...sad...

 

Our secondary are so poor and exposed after Jimmy went down; we have no depth.

 

Our guys lost their coolness and started playing stupid football.

 

Refs are hating us, more like Stealers fan boys....

 

Our O-line can't even win 1 on 1 matchup against 100 yr old Harrison.

 

Monroe and Osemele looked like rookies out there, letting pass rush running free.

 

Our WRs can't beat against Steelers' backup DBs.

 

PS: Offensively, we need to fix our Oline ASAP or tanking for draft picks; defensively, we need our CBs to step up or we're doomed.  Lastly, our players need to play football, not fightpeople.....

[jdynamite]

Funny the defense held up for quite sometime with this pathetic secondary. the play of the secondary was horrendous, coverage tackling ball awareness, you name it they done it bad. Secondary full of frank walkers even Webb looks abysmal.

[Static]

Lets not waste our time and tank to rebuild this roster. 2 year rebuild process isn't even bad. 

[psalms91]

Normally I am not a conspiracy guy....but when I saw Brown push Webb to the ground and make a catch right in front of the officials, I wonder if they have been instructed to make the Ravens stay out of the limelight because of the Rice thing. two games in a row against divisional opponents that Refs have made many curious calls.....makes you think

 That was a very questionable call I can't believe they didn't throw the flag for that one

[Bravens292]

Thanks for the memories Joe, but you're done. #mariota

 

Even IF we did get rid of Joe, we would never get high enough to draft a QB. This is why teams hate 8-8. No playoffs AND bad draft position. Terrible place to be. The FO is committed to Joe. We're not going ballsy and trading up to draft a QB.

[pep_meister]

bring back reed for his sake. guy misses football. do ya'll really think he could be any worst? bring in champ bailey for his sake. guy misses football. do ya'll really think he could be any worst? Bring back Rod Woodson for his sake. guy misses football. do ya'll really think he could be any worst? Bring back Deion Sanders for his sake. guy misses football. do ya'll really think he could be any worst?

you might be right. Ray is due in court to combat the Ravens and the NFL on bogus charges against him (not saying what he did was right,but how it was handled was wrong). 

John wont say anything against the refs since hes being paid....hes a puppet in this scheme. NFL has been rigged. Just look at it like you would a WWE match.

Never ascribe to evil what can be explained by incompetence. They were atrocious and it just so happened that we got screwed so heavily by it due to bad luck.

[jazz1988]

We cut Franks in August and he sat out there all that time. Now, he's our starter. I usually don't chide the FO too much but the fact that the fans could see that blatant weakness and they didn't is crazy to me.

 

I actually thought Franks would be better than this. I don't know why we didn't  push harder for a cornerback in off season but they obviously had alot of faith in Asa and Brown

Brown

[FoxRox75]

I don't know why so many people are pinning this one on Flacco; sure he wasn't perfect, but he still tossed 2 touchdowns and had 300 yards. Obviously the biggest issue was the defense, as I had feared. We each beat each other by 20 points, so obviously not the typical rivalry season on that note. Things might seem horrible now, but once we get healthier and play softer teams, we can start winning again. At this point, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Kansas City, and Miami all pose a serious challenge. Unfortunately at this point, making/missing the playoffs is pretty 50/50 right now, depending on how we respond to this loss. It's safe to say our season's over if we lose next week at home to the Titans, but I highly doubt that will be the case. My guess right now is that we beat the Titans, Chargers, Jaguars, Texans, and Browns and finish 10-6, with two more losses to the Saints and Dolphins on the road. The way Pittsburgh has been playing though, getting into the playoffs will be a big challenge...

[kennethyamini1989]

If we go out and play some half decent football, we have a chance to win that game regardless of what the refs are doing. The team lost the game themselves. The refs didn't lose it for us.

move on please. 

[Alaska Alaska!]

Wow. We suck. I don't know what hurt is the most, bad draft picks or lazy players. Our secondary needs to rebuilt from the ground up. Or offense is done. Joe missed so many open receivers, and it was rare for our Receivers to even get open. We're the worst team in the division now. Bad drafting and QB play did us in.

What bad draft picks?  2014 has been a great year for drafts especially Mosley.  But I guess in today's NFL fans won't let rookies be rookies.  They want all draft picks to play like pro bowlers their first year. 

[Smothy]

We might be the most inconsistent team in the league. One game we're SB contenders and the next we're looking like a bottom half of the league team

What good team have we looked like SB contenders against?

[BMORE_96]

I firmly believe we need another offseason to resemble our 2008-2011 form.  We have glaring holes at cornerback and wide receiver. Not to mention, tight end is looking questionable with pitta injured. A draft like the one we just had should get us in super bowl contention shape. But going 9-7 or even 10-6 just is not worth it in my opinion. I'd be behind missing the playoffs for elite prospects like mosley. 

[Sir Spooky]

 That was a very questionable call I can't believe they didn't throw the flag for that one

It's possible it was within 5 yards but I figured it was a 10 yard catch so idk lol. 

[RobFuseRaven]

This could've been put in the vent thread.

Flacco owns and will be here for another decade barring injury, deal with it.

[The Raven]

Flacco completed 30/45 and scored twice. Considering how little protection he got and the sorry state our receivers were in, that's a solid game, even counting the bad pick.

[Corvus]

Why do our defensive backs always seem to play 5-10 yds off of every receiver? This has been going on for years. Are they all really that bad in man and press coverage every year? I guess the answer is yes...no effort to get opponent's receivers off their game.

[pmr468]

the team couldnt win. Every time a good defensive play was made there was a flag to undo it...

The refs were in the Steelers back pockets the whole game. Taht being said, even if they weren't we still wouldn't have won.

[kennethyamini1989]

yes we would have. 2 bogus penalties lead to TDs while one non call that should have been called most likely would have led to a TD...

Nah..the biggest issue was the O-line.  Specifically the left side. 

[Smothy]

No, 2 turnovers led to TDs.
