Game Thread - Ravens/Steelers Round 2 - Now or Never!

Okay, tiebreaker question... the mathey stuff hurts my head. With a L, with Miami and Jacksonville losing, our chances of sqeezing into the playoffs still improve, right?

People complain when Harbaugh takes timeouts, and when he doesn't take timeouts. I give up, really

I don't know what play the Squeelers would've called but when you have a chance to get a short field, you call the TO and conserve 45 seconds for when you have the ball.

Harbaugh is an idiot.

This is the most asininely coached football game, from head coach, to OC, to DC. We have an awful staff that has no idea what they want to do. I feel like Harbs has done a complete 180 from last season.

Darb, the Ravens just don't want it and the Steelers do.

What kind of adjustments can you possibly make at halftime at this point? You've got no choice put to keep putting Frank Walker and out there. He is beyond horrible and Rothlisberger knows it.

If Jax and Miami lose I think we only need 1 win - either tonight or next week.

I don't mind blitzing, but not Foxworth from way outside without another defender right there and forcing Landry to take on Holmes one on one with half the field to make a move on.

Mattison...please take that play out of the playbook ASAP.

And not when you are on the OPPONENTS side of the field!

**darb72** · 12-27-2009, 03:34 PM

What adjustments do I make?

Fire Harbaugh.
Fire Walker.

WTF is up with that? Just quit before half.

11-5
8-6 currently

Yeah, let's get rid of the Mangini clone....

One thing I will never understand...I watch the Steelers and these other teams play and they have guys on plays that are WIDE open.

We however always seem to have to work hard on every pass play. I don't know why that seems to almost always happen.

And what message are you sending the Steelers? That you know you cannot really hang with them.

If we sneak into the playoffs by some miracle, we will be the one team everyone in the AFC is going to want to play, I swear.

If Jax and Miami do lose, the Ravens should be able to lock up playoffs with 1 win. We would have the tiebreaker with every remaining team - including Pittsburgh. If the Broncos also lose, I think we would clinch the 5th seed with a win.
