Kinda Lame Game

Can't give it to Big Ben when he had the lowest rating of a winning QB, ever. Parker had one big run and a bunch of stuffs. The only other player you could even think of would be Ike Taylor. Ward had a couple of big catches that made the difference.

Seattle didn't play the big plays well. They got all the small ones right. But they played dumb in the red zone.

I called the Randel-El throw. You could see it coming as soon as he came in motion. And Ward just wanted that other big throw more. That was prayer Ben threw up, across the field.

 

I couldn't believe how easily the Seattle CBs gave up contain. They did it repeatedly, so I would have run even more end-arounds. Surely the Seahawks had to have expected some of those, so I assume the players just screwed up royally and it wasn't a matter of the coaching staff not preparing them adequately.

 

The one Ward broke, kinda jump started the Steelers, I got to put on Winstrom as well. Linebackers got caught in playside pursuit, but he can't get sucked into that kind of aggresive play.

 

what game were you watching ?
It's not like the Steelers dominated the game..

 

I did not think either team played very well, maybe it was just nerves. Even rooting for the Steelers as I was I can see where some of the calls could have went the other way and changed the game.

Big Ben may or may not have gotten in, I could not tell. Jackson did push off in the end zone but I have seen that go uncalled many many times. There were some others too. The Steelers did do what they needed to to win though. The big run by Parker was untainted. The pass to Ward was as well.

The commericals sucked but I did like the streaker sheep and the "Addicted to Lost".

 

on the Willie Parker TD, when he did the dive-roll into the endzone, haven't I seen that penalized for unsportsmanlike? not that I care about this instance just wishing they would be consistant with the calls.

and the Big Ben TD, I know it won't and can't be changed, but they really need to redefine that whole "cross the plain" thing

 

Overall I would give this game a 3 out of 10. The Seachicken cheerleaders were sweet. The game sucked IMO. Refs had too much of a part of the game with crap calls (Jacksons interferance, and Hasselbecks tackle call) I'll never agree with the rule that didn't cause Hasselbecks fumble to be upheld. He fumbled the ball and the tap of him was prior to him hitting ground. The ground didn't cause the fumble, his sloppy handling of the ball did. Stupid rule

 

Parkers run was great, and he had the little dive at the end, but Deshaun's run and dive was way better.

MVP was whoever was covering Stevens. That boy was scared.

 

Only in college. I believe you're thinking of when Reggie Bush was penalized for that against UCLA.

 

You must of had a camera on his chest. He was down way before getting near the chalk and the replay didn't offer anything more. Maybe the crest of his helmet hit the chalk when he first came down but that was it.
