Steelers @ Ravens playoff game thread (no Bills stuff please)

[Roundybout]

Joey Porter Jr. is a good player but he’s so soft and afraid of hard contact 

[BlazinBill]

Welp...  fair to say the Ravens won't the wildcard weekends upset 

[Steptide]

I think I figured out the Ravens - you cannot over persue their offense. I think it'd almost be better for defenses to almost hesitate before they attack.

2nd and 21?

 

easy peasy…back to Swiss Cheese mode.

Offensive lineman down field not callled…

If Steelers don't fire Tomlin then they are in denial

 

They don't fire coaches because they make decisions as an organization, from the owner down. The point of blame is spread among the front office.

I’m pretty sure the Steelers defense has surrendered. On that 2nd and long play I saw two defenders not even go all the way through their rep. When the ball got far enough away they just started standing around.

How can you have a MVP who isn’t arguably the best player on the team? 

[Billl]

The Ravens are putting on an absolute clinic, and everyone here is acting like the takeaway should be that the Steelers are bad.

Just sad that the Steelers have one quality TE and bad receivers across the board. Pickens is a malcontent who either drops passes or cuts off routes when he feels like it. Just a losing player.

He has a lot of talent and is completely wasting it.

The guys on Pittsburgh aren’t even trying to tackle. It looks like the pro bowl. Absolutely inexcusable. This might not end well for this group

Hayward seems to be the only guy on that defense who has any sense of pride. The notion that the Steelers are this hard nosed group has been fallible for a number of years now. Whenever they face a good offense they fold like a cheap suit

This Lamar hate needs to stop🤦‍♂️ He is an incredible player 

I don’t think it’s hate really…as far as I know nobody thinks he isn’t great.  You can make a pretty solid case Henry is the mvp of the team though the guy is pretty much unstoppable

Man this defense doesn’t give a *****

That's my take.  At times they just give up and don't try to make the tackle.  It's a weird lack of effort for a playoff game.

The best way to stop Baltimore is to focus stopping the run and hope to god backend can hold its end of the bargain in stopping the pass.

The plays where Lamar fakes the handoff and then runs off-direction seem so obvious - but Pitt generally hasn't left a guy to spy him.  It's like everyone the D bites on the running back.

Ravens holding big time, no flags.....

Upset already happened. Texans won 

[Einstein]

Hit Lamar on every play. You never know when he will keep the ball or not, so just smack him every play.

Ravens are playing great - but the Steelers did NOT show for this game. At all.

 

It's noteworthy.

The last game they won was at home against the Browns over a month ago

They are bad.
