Are You Ready for Some Football - Steelers/Raiders 2012

[Geezer]

When you're in a tough division with playoff hopes you can't throw away games against bad teams. I doubt the Raiders will reach the .500 level.
And the injury gods punish the Steelers some more. We may lead the league in knee injuries. This is a well deserved loss by the black and gold. As one sportswriter wrote about a putrid Steeler performance" They should have to ride a bus filled with crap with a loud siren blaring in case anyone passes out". I'd add the bus driver should go very slowly. I disagreed with the 9-7 non-playoff prognosticators but the Steelers need a 180 degree turnaround at this point.

Lololololololol


8-8 this season. Forget the playoffs

We live close enough that I'll be happy to bet you $50 they do better.

I'd take that money too.

Lebaeau should kill himself tonight. **** disgrace.

Wow...suicide suggestion #2 at least in this thread. Good game folks, good game.

[FreeCandy44]

Bye week, we get players back, we win 4 of next 5.

Some people seem happier when they lose because they're "right," then when they win a close game. It befuddles me. Bioshock predicts they lose, then doesn't post again until it comes true so he can post he told you so. Wtf is that?

This is why there is a Delpen award.

God I love this place after a loss.

[shmenguin]

so i guess it was really silly to get all worked up about how they didn't distance themselves from oakland in the first half.

you keep a team hanging around, and this is what happens. when there's blood in the water, don't take stupid penalties and turn the ball over. but this is pretty typical steelers football under the tomlin regime, so i'm not surprised. nor am i writing them off.

At least there is hoc....

Isn't that his M.O.?

We finish 10-6.

Lost one to Baltimore, one to the NFC East, and two to SD/Cinci/NFC East. Denver is good, this game was flukey insofar as we dominated the yardage. Troy and Harrison lift the D.

I think you're wrong about Denver being good.Atlanta and Houston revealed them for what they are. I really believe the Broncos and Eagles were the 2 most over-rated teams by the talking heads.

[offsides]

It's not too bad, We just can't run the ball or stop a QB like Carson Palmer. Everything else is fine.

[malkinshair]

It's amazing that the Raiders O-line had no holding penalties.

That is all

You're probably right there.

Just a game....steelers defense has had three straight years of doing this...i laugh...it is actually pretty funny...but hey...the nfl is such a joke anyways...sucks hockey is locked out...but at least we have college football and playoff baseball coming up..lol

[FreeCandy44]

I understand its a 16 game season...but it's the raiders. I hate how this team constantly plays down to its opponents.

I called my shot immediately after Heyward-Bey's injury:

7:24 PM calling my shot: Steelers D will be afraid to hit anybody due to Heyward-Bey hit, Oakland gets back into the game, wins in final seconds.

You must be so proud.

If you saw my football pool today, this was the only thing that was right.

I only got to see parts of the game on the Red Zone channel.

The hysterics and baghdad bob routines didn't tell me much.....who/what blew it?

[TheGhostofGoulet]

Who are Steeler fans rooting for this evening?

A stadium collapse?

I really hope so. The D really needs it.

The hysterics here (in multiple directions) didn't tell me much.....who/what blew it?

The defense and Antonio Brown's jackassery.

Nobody blew it. They just lost to a desperate team. The Raiders just wanted it more, and it showed.

A small earthquake would suffice.
