Titans @ Steelers Game Day Thread

[Go4It]

Post all thoughts on the Thursday Night opener here.

:Titans: :Steelers:

[Danno]

I've never wanted a whole town to spontaneously be swallowed by the earth as I do right now....

[whodey1967]

we wont see another steeler fan until halftime...and we wont see any at halftime if hey are losing...same old...same old...:lol:

[Jay Dolla]

Chris johnson is going to run all over them...

[Danno]

The Chinese did opening ceremonies better than Pitt.

[whodey1967]

we will see if Lendale walks on another towel...and see the steelers>>>>>>:cry:

[FightBack09]

oh boy cmon titans!

[SteelCitySouth]

we wont see another steeler fan until halftime...and we wont see any at halftime if hey are losing...same old...same old...:lol:
heeeey ohhhhhhh

[Danno]

All pokes aside, I am soo happy NFL is finally starting.

[SteelCitySouth]

No kidding...Of season was starting to make me go insane...Mellow

[SteelCitySouth]

Logan is the real deal

[Danno]

Wow, that was a TD if it wasn't behind.

[SteelCitySouth]

No doubt...still sweed needs to better make the adjustment

[SteelCitySouth]

43

[Danno]

Shoulda thrown it away. One thing bad about Ben's elusiveness.... He doesn't throw it away as a result.

[SteelCitySouth]

One bad thing about essex is that ben has someone on him before he's out of his drop

[tdlong85]

OOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! 19 YD LOSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rock on:

[SteelCitySouth]

Oooooooooops

[Danno]

That was a bad call. For all 43 knew, Johnson was going to stay in. I mean heck, he was in mid air.

[Troy The Bengal]

dang no good

[Danno]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAh

[FightBack09]

2nd sack!! No albert no problem, child please!

[EatonFan]

The Steelers opponents miss more FG's than I have ever seen. It's amazing!

[SteelCitySouth]

2nd sack!! No albert no problem, child please!

They didn't have albert when they played us last year...:what:

[FightBack09]

they didn't have albert when they played us last year...:what:

i know im just saying no albert no problem.

[FightBack09]

Steelers have one hell of a talent, polamalu what a catch!

[SteelCitySouth]

i know im just saying no albert no problem.

Ahhhhh, I see...Mellow

[spazz70]

The Steelers better not give Carson that much time to throw or we will be scoring like crazy in week 3

[SteelCitySouth]

43 is a beast!!!!

Sorry I'm behind with tivo

[FightBack09]

Picked!!!!

[Ozsreturn]

Nice INT by Polamalu, bad throw by Collins. The Titans are actually doing pretty good, but the Steeler's D is what's keeping their team in the game as usual...

[guy_fawkes]

big ben looks off today

[SteelCitySouth]

Man this is one ugly game so far

[Bengalzona]

Great pick by Polamalu follwed by a good pick by Ten.

[theWhoDeyKid]

nice pass Ben...If it were a Bengal his off field lawsuit would be called a distraction. But since it is Pittsburgh its swept under the rug

[guy_fawkes]

johnson is running very well today

[ExtraNirvana]

Pittsburghs offense looks terrible.

If they keep playing this way they won't win the division.

Their O-line looks like ****.

[SteelCitySouth]

Ddddddddd

[guy_fawkes]

but pitt's defense is playing the pass well and keeping them in the game.

[FightBack09]

fair catch at the 5 ? hmmmMellow

[arobinson11]

2 things so far

Big Ben looks awful(partly O-line)
Polamalu is the best player in football

[KRD227]

What a luxury to have 1 single yard of offense for an entire quarter and be tied....of course Ben is fully repsonsible for that one yard so he is the greatest..

[SteelCitySouth]

Heath!!!!!!!

[FightBack09]

Heath!!!!!!!
nice security blanket

[ExtraNirvana]

Steelers with no running game?

[guy_fawkes]

hines ward is classy?

[Troy The Bengal]

holding on whines get him a crying rag

[FightBack09]

2 in a row

[SteelCitySouth]

Willie looks like he has no vision at all.

[guy_fawkes]

Willie looks like he has no vision at all.

looks like he has no vision, or actually has no vision? :P

[KRD227]

Ben made some nice throws on that last drive...I'll throw some credit his way..

[SteelCitySouth]

looks like he has no vision, or actually has no vision? :P

Both....

[SteelCitySouth]

What is this happy horse****

[guy_fawkes]

Tomlin's yelling at the ref - "i paid you good money to give me the same calls you did in the superbowl - what the heck?"

[spazz70]

Tomlin's yelling at the ref - "i paid you good money to give me the same calls you did in the superbowl - what the heck?"

Now..that is funny

[FightBack09]

Get that bo!!!!!!!

[guy_fawkes]

pure class by the steelers today.

[FightBack09]

Polly want a cracker no polly wants more flags!!!!!!!

[Troy The Bengal]

lets go ten get some points

[Troy The Bengal]

dang

[FightBack09]

this is A DAMN GOOD GAME!

[SteelCitySouth]

What the **** is going on with this game?

[EatonFan]

Flippin unreal. It's like the opponent's FG kicker is cursed.

[ExtraNirvana]

I dont wanna see a good game I wanna see the titans spank the steelers.

Eventually Titans will get their point if Steelers offense keeps playing so bad.

[arobinson11]

Flippin unreal. It's like the opponent's FG kicker is cursed.

I am pretty sure he is just worried about Hines Ward running from the sidelines to cheap shot him...

[SteelCitySouth]

I was thinking the same thing about our O Line

[ExtraNirvana]

Polamolu is hurt!!!!!

[guy_fawkes]

Ben's getting some time there - good job by the steelers o line!

[FightBack09]

polly is hurt

[SteelCitySouth]

Polamolu is hurt!!!!!

Wow classy!

[Jay Dolla]

Ben's getting some time there - good job by the steelers o line!

really... what are you watching

[MakeShift]

yea, Troy had his knee bent side ways from Alge Crumpler falling on it going for the ball after the blocked FG. It looked pretty bad actually.....

[Troy The Bengal]

I am pretty sure he is just worried about Hines Ward running from the sidelines to cheap shot him...
:Clap:

[guy_fawkes]

really... what are you watching

the past few passing plays have shown good protection.

[ExtraNirvana]

Wow classy!

1. I dont care I dont like Troy or the Steelers.

2. There was nothing wrong with what I said if I was a Steelers fan saying that it wouldnt have even been a big deal.

[SteelCitySouth]

Wooooooooooooh.

[SteelCitySouth]

1. I dont care I dont like Troy or the Steelers.

2. There was nothing wrong with what I said if I was a Steelers fan saying that it wouldnt have even been a big deal.

Whatever...<_<

[SteelCitySouth]

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Troy The Bengal]

:vomitfest:

[SteelCitySouth]

:vomitfest:

lol

[ExtraNirvana]

Those field goals are gonna come back and haunt the Titans.

[Jay Dolla]

wow I shouldn't have opened my mouth... they've been getting beat on and now they do somethin

[FightBack09]

Rookie kenny britt!!!!!!!!!

[FightBack09]

Td!!!!!!!!!!! Jg

[Troy The Bengal]

yeah :lol:

[SteelCitySouth]

Again, this game is crazy...

[Jay Dolla]

wow that number #1 Defense looked horrible

[ExtraNirvana]

Bironas made the extra point!

[Troy The Bengal]

43 hurt = steelers hurt

[FightBack09]

Polamalu might be out lamarr woodley probable for comeback as well.

[jonescincy]

I hope the Steelers play pass defense like this against us in a few weeks. WOW Collins is slicing them up, he's doing it with a hatchet and not a scalpel but still.

[Troy The Bengal]

i was just about to say the titans pass rush stinks

[FightBack09]

what a first half!!!!!!!!

[Troy The Bengal]

yeah

[Troy The Bengal]

good first half

[SteelCitySouth]

aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggg

[FightBack09]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CORTLAND!

[ExtraNirvana]

Titans pass rush has gotten to ben all day

[spazz70]

Titans pass rush has gotten to ben all day

And I am loving it.....racking me up some fantasy points....3 sacks...2 INTs...sweet

[Whatever]

Wow,Steeler fans better thank the Titans' ST's and the Steel Curtain for keeping them in this one. Hopefully,Troy Polamalu will be ok and return to continue his quest to lead the NFL in 15 yard personal fouls,j/k. I dunno what in the world he was thinking on that blocked FG. Just fall on the ball,Troy,you aren't going to break a run out of a pile like that.

Pretty dramatic difference in the Steeler O when the Titans are blitzing and when they simply rush 4. When they blitz,the Steelers are completely out of sorts and Ben looks lost. When they go with a base 4 man rush,he just stands back there and pump fakes them to death.

[ExtraNirvana]

Anyone else want to go to outback steakhouse after that commericial?

[Danno]

Great Steeler technique.... Pull on the ankle and lean into the knee.

[BANJAXED]

im getting sick and tired of these steelers going after knees

[ExtraNirvana]

Titans are shooting themselves in the foot

[Eh-Nam]

James Harrison is one of the dirtiest Players in league...
he goes for the knees on most plays.

[SteelCitySouth]

im getting sick and tired of these steelers going after knees

Hey Ban

[SteelCitySouth]

This game is eating at my nerves...I'm going to eat a brownie. :smirk:

[EatonFan]

They are seriously pushing the Steeler D off the ball right now.

[EatonFan]

Titans should be running more.

[nford]

10-10 2:50 to play Tenn ball.

Come on Kerry Collins!

:tiger:

[arobinson11]

What happened to not using your helmet as a weapon?
Does that rule not apply to defending super bowl champions?

[Jay Dolla]

horrible play calling by the Titans

[nford]

Even worse punt. 28 yards. Steelers get all the breaks.:angry:

[EatonFan]

Titans are giving this one away. You do not rush just three against Pittsburgh. Ben will kill you if he has that kind of time.

[nford]

1:03 left. I might as well turn it off now and be mad.

[arobinson11]

Greatest fumble ever IMO

Wait for it... he is going to cry i think

[nford]

Hines fumbles!!!!!!

[guy_fawkes]

:)

[fore4]

justice for hines, you *****!

[nford]

what no smile Hines? :lol:

[guy_fawkes]

is he gonna cry about it?

[fan for life]

So thats what wipes that silly grin off his face.

[maclanta]

couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

[theWhoDeyKid]

SMILE HINES!!!!!!
http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/hines_ward.jpg

[momadance02]

Holy cow I don't know if I've been happier watching a football game.

That fumble just made my weekend.

[guy_fawkes]

collinsworth has a mancrush on ward

[FightBack09]

Wow!!!!!

[momadance02]

Greatest fumble ever IMO

Wait for it... he is going to cry i think

I love it!

[ljastangs21]

Hines ***** nuff said

[KW Bengal]

costly fumble and tears for ward in week 1, how hard will he cry when rivers knocks him out week 3?

[arobinson11]

LOL, Hines Ward does a stupid thing by not going down and they call it competitive nature, if
Ocho Cinco does that its selfishness....

[nford]

Ha I feel that! I even forgot for a second that I'm playing Titans defense on my fantasy league and that gave me 2 more points!

[scottws]

Steelers win the toss. Can probably chalk this one up to a Steelers win.

[FightBack09]

**** they get it back!

[nford]

Come on Defense hold em!

Just noticed how they mentioned the whole tie thing? Is that new since the whole Eagles fiasco from last year?

[Ozsreturn]

I was actually kind of surprised not to wee Hines Ward smiling on his way back to the sidelines after that fumble.

[crazyjdawg]

I hope Ward drops a touchdown and throws another fit.

[EatonFan]

Come on Defense hold em!

Just noticed how they mentioned the whole tie thing? Is that new since the whole Eagles fiasco from last year?

That's just for McNabb's benefit watching from home. :lol:

[fan for life]

Come on Defense hold em!

Just noticed how they mentioned the whole tie thing? Is that new since the whole Eagles fiasco from last year?

Lets see if they actually try to blitz which is when they had success and stopping them or see if they stay in this stupid prevent and let Ben sit back cofortably and pick them apart.

[nford]

Titans need to blitz a LB every once in a while!

[arobinson11]

Lets see if they actually try to blitz which is when they had success and stopping them or see if they stay in this stupid prevent and let Ben sit back cofortably and pick them apart.

Its just a conspiracy to make Big Ben the most overrated QB in the history of football

[scottws]

Lets see if they actually try to blitz which is when they had success and stopping them or see if they stay in this stupid prevent and let Ben sit back cofortably and pick them apart.

I know. I said in another thread in JN that Tennessee's defensive gameplan is atrocious. Their defense is being picked apart.

[EatonFan]

They're playing prevent or something. Giving everything underneath. Forgone conclusion that Ben will pick this apart.

[Shady]

Let's see a turnover real quick here. Bring out Baronas and go home.

[fan for life]

Titans need to blitz a LB every once in a while!

Its like Brat took over their D and decided to get away from what is working

[nford]

They have no rushing game at all.

[nford]

F*** 1st down.

[arobinson11]

sigh, Ben is trying his hardest to turn the ball over....

[guy_fawkes]

NFL needs college overtime

[Shady]

Kiss da Baby. Dammit. Too bad

[scottws]

NFL needs college overtime

I don't understand how both Collinsworth and Michaels said they liked the NFL method. Why???

[nford]

Its over. :angry:

[EatonFan]

And the figgie for the win...? (Very likely)

[crazyjdawg]

The Titans deserved this loss. They refused to blitz late in the game. Not to mention they blew it on FGs twice.

[collegeboi]

Ben is crazy, great game by both sides, seeing hines almost cry was good enough for me, week 3 is gonna be very close

[fan for life]

What the hell was Tenn.'s D coordinator thinking with his play calling?

[Shady]

Oh well. They looked pretty beatable, and they got pretty beat up injury-wise. We'll see them in a couple of weeks. We'd better spank some butt at home. They'll be healed and waiting for us later in the year in their house.

[nford]

:angry:

[EatonFan]

Unbelievable. Two missed FG's and the Titans refused to run on offense near the end and blitzed only 5 in the 4th Qtr and OT. Ugly win for Pittsburgh, but that's their game.

[ljastangs21]

***** that they won but I feel confident about week 3

[Ozsreturn]

Not surprising, I didn't expect Pittsburgh to lose this game.

[Bengalitis]

reminded me of our D in the last 5 seasons before Zimmer...

[cabech984]

Hopefully Polamalu is ok..... *Hopes for a semi speedy recovery.... After week 3!!*
