95 Yard TD for Wallace

**Complex** · 10-25-2011, 08:07 PM

Broken play? It looks to me like he ran by coverage and the safety came over and put up pretty good chase. Nothing like belittling the competition. I would guess that is one of he longest pass plays ever in the NFL. But then again, not big deal. A two time Super Bowl winning QB throws a record breaking pass to guy leading the league in long receptions and it is "nothing really." What do players have to do to get some respect! I will take that low drama all day long!

I agree, that play was much more dramatic. That was one for the annals of Steelers history. I remember the color guy saying "he did everything he could to drop the ball."

Wallace ran by everyone on a busted play by the defense. It was a 40 yd
pass from the end zone and 60 yd run. Jen's pass that beat us on 3rd and 19
was longer and more dramatic.

Yeah, just a routine 95 yard record setting pass in the NFL. No big deal. Laughing.

Not that it irks me THAT much, and I can easily let it pass, but one thing that does stick with me is the use of a player's first name when calling a game.

Unless you are calling everybody by their first name, or at least the other QB, it comes off (in my opinion) of a closeness and a the lack of objectivity. And no one is more guilty of this than Dierdorff during a Steelers' game.

"Aww, what a play by Ben."
"Ben was great on that read."
"Ben really took a shot there."

Are you the national broadcaster (and supposed to at least try to project objectivity), or his agent?

Mind you, if you had an announcer call Flacco "Joe" all the time, I think I would be just as irratated (but I don't think any do...)

Just my little pet peeve, I guess....

That is a reasonable position. They do use Payton a lot too.

What was so recordsetting about it? Didn't BRady throw a 99yd'er to Welker a few weeks ago?

All time Steeler record but no worries. No big deal as you have properly diminished it. Laughing.

On a side note, the Pats seem to think he is a threat.

Of course, argue minutia. Even if Brady broke it, I could not tell you, it was a record setter for the Steelers. But, I am sure, that is still not good enough. Nothing really ever is.

Maybe offer some sound evidence next time. Find out for sure if he broke it before just offering conjecture. But as I said, regardless, it was a Steeler record.

I am hoping for a longer TD pass this week . . ..

NCRaven -

You are correct. Brady threw a 99 yarder to Wes Welker (of all players!). Anyway - still a record breaking pass for Roethlisberger, Wallace, and the Steelers.

For the record, Brady pisses me off. He is too good to be playing in this league.
