even reed's brother's spirit couldn't beat the steelers.

big win for the black and gold.

big collapse by baltimore's offense... recievers were just as bad as flacco was...

Nice drop Houshmenzadeh. Nice complaining about why Seattle got rid of you earlier this week. If it wasn't obvious you're not as good as you thought you were to everyone else, it is now.

[Diet Water]

Gotta cheer for the Pats now, not sure the Jets can beat the Steelers.

Hopefully the Pats stomp all over the Steelers next week though. They won't be getting those chincey calls in a game against NE.

What a terrible last series. Why do teams panic so much?

1:30 left on the opponents 48, 1 timeout. Just run normal offense. Run the ball on first down etc...

Yeah, Flacco sucks but his receivers didn't help him out much either.

No kiddin. Granted the Steelers did the right thing and pressure the shat out of Falco, but Ravens had very good field position. Could've been better at moving up the field.

They showed a replay where you could clearly see the Samoan lineman holding Pouncey and Dierdorf (for once in his life) pointed it out perfectly.

That play was 2 yards off the line, in the open right in front of the ref. He has to make that call every time.

What a meltdown by the ravens. Oh well.

Go Packers!!!!!!!

I think it has a lot more to do with Baltimore's offense just not being good than it does them panicing.

That offense did nothing all game long so no real surprise that they sucked on that last drive as well.

True but,

throwing a ball 40 yards down field on 2nd and 10 = panic

I didn't realize Fort Myers was in Samoa.

[flames_1987]

I thought the holding on the punt return was pretty weak but Boldin and TJH both had very catchable balls and couldn't hold on. Embarrassing

Have to feel a little sympathy for Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. If this franchise had any resemblance of an offense the last 5-8 years, this team is a dynasty.

I thought it was a Samoan sounding name when Dierdorf said it on the replay but was paying more attention to the play than the name.

Crazy turn of events in the GB game. About a 50 yard GB gain turns into a fumble and recovery by Atl.

It was Terrence Cody who was called for it, but it's very possible that Dierdorf got confused.

The Packers seem to have a lot of these types of plays. I'm attributing it to them still being a pretty young team.

[corporatejay]

Rogers is moving the ball at will, he looks possessed. Packers are petty unreal right now.

[Beerfest]

Kuhn!

Tie game.
