well sigh. Im a steelers fan. Horrible performance on our part. great performance on Ravens part.

truthfully though, you guys ought to beat us once in a while :p

And im not saying this to knock Baltimore, its the same thing ive been saying about Atlanta (i live in atlanta)

Baltimore had a good performance. I cannot honestly say they had a great performance. with 7 turnsover A great performance would have been a bigger blowout. Baltimore, if they want to win the superbowl needs to be capable of great. I think they have the tools, just a matter of doing it. Atlanta has the same problem. they play good all year, but never great. In the playoffs, if you dont play great, you dont win. They are consistantly consistant.

unfortunately for my steelers, we can play great at times.. and then othertimes we look like cleveland.

I think 7 turnovers is a result of a great performance.

Look, Bmore played great, and usually the steelers match that level of intensity, which leads to their epic battles. The Ravens showed up yesterday looking for a battle. The Steelers didn't get off the bus.

You can't nitpick the team's performance when they blow you out. Sorry, just not gonna mean anything.

I don't think "You should have won by more" qualifies as a valid argument when your QB and WR are griping over a 2-pt conversion. :rofl2:

You had the pill explanation all mixed up when it was time to choose. Morpheus f**** the Steelers :p

Every team has their ups and downs; much like what happened during last Superbowl, the Steelers went in expecting to win and they got crushed. They are still a winning team and one to always be on the lookout for :tiphat:

actually you can gripe about a performance. If the steelers had 7 takeaways in a game and only scored 35 i'd say they gave up a bit.

Its still impressive what Baltimore did, but just saying, if the steelers had caused 7 turnovers i wouldnt have been ecstatic with 35. I bet if you were to ask the Raven's players and coaches about it they would say the same thing.

But obviously wanting it to be better and it actually happening are diff things. Such as i wanted baltimore to be crying, but instead its us who is hidin in a corner :p

but again, if you are happy with a 35 point performance on 7 turnsovers, your not expecting much of your team. And that goes for any fan/player of any team.

I call :bs:, daisuke

The Steelers have defined winning ugly over the years. They've needed last second plays to win several times over. But they still did well in the playoffs. You're talking about Super Bowl after week 1? Little premature.

Am I happy with the most points the Ravens have ever scored against their rivals in a 28-pt laugher? Heck yes I am!

you miss the point

its a good win.

But you shoudl have wanted it to be a heck of a lot worse with 7 turnovers.

I'll take wins any way they get them. But there has to be a slight part where you go.. why didnt they score more..

as a coach, that would be where you look and say, we could have done this better. because if you dont find any room for improvement.. there are problems.

again not saying it wasnt embarrasing for us, or that it wasnt a good win for you guys. Heck if the steelers beat the ravens by 1 point i'd be happy (or any team for that matter).

for example if you went head to head with a civic at a drag strip (not the street of course!) and your won by 3 car lengths. you'd be like sweet i won, but then wonder why it was only 3 car lengths.

A lot of those turnovers were later in the game when it was already over. You wanted them to run up the score on you? Ok, that's fine. With game already in hand, they ran the ball a ton. The only turnover they failed on when it was remotely close was the deflected interception, where they went for it on 4th and short, but they were already up 3 scores.

Of course there's always room for improvement, but it was a blowout, plain and simple. And any team that puts up 35 on the Steelers ought to thank their lucky stars, regardless of turnover ratio.

There's no part of me that wonders why they didn't score more. The Ravens don't average 35 points a game on offense. I didn't need it to be 56-7 for the point to be driven home. It's one game in a long season.

yeah they dont score 35 on average. but look at the way the game went
14-0 early in the first

and then after that you got 7 turnovers

so 21 points of 7 turnovers? in last years superbowl loss, GB scored on all 3 turns overs.

would the ability to score 35 points on 7 turnovers be enough to beat the patriots if the patriots were playing well? the packers?

Nah man. It wouldnt be enough for the steelers or the ravens, or any other team most likely.

Oh.. its not that hard to run up 35 on the steelers. Our corners suck somethin awful. if we ever put William gay on the field, just have whoever he is covering run up field and he will be open.

I swear 50% of the touchdowns last year when they showed the highlights had Gay running behind the receiver about 10 yards behind. (mcfadden isnt that great either. hes good tackler etc but coverage is meh.)

ive been sorely pissed that we havnt done something to get better cover corners these last few years (5 ish)

Shado, sure it does. You didn't get the memo? :inoutroflpuke:

Again, most of those turnovers were when the game was already in hand. I'd rather them run clock than try to run up score. That's how you control a game and win by four touchdowns.

Twist it however you want, you can't spoil that performance for me. Think less of me as an NFL fan if you like (oh noes I'll lose so much sleep), but it is what it is. It was a great game, a blowout victory over their bitter rivals, but it's just one game. Part 2 is in November at Heinz. I'm thinking it will go down a little differently.

It's just funny to me that you'll criticize my team for not steamrolling yours enough. You want me to nitpick the Steelers' performance? I don't think I need to go there, bud. You don't see me making excuses or nitpicking the Steelers when the Ravens lose to them.

Aside: The Steelers gave up 35 points in 3 games last year, including playoffs.
