Dont Rookie Me........ Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Whoot just got home from a little after playoff party, so I am not coherent, but how can you possibly blame the refs. Good heart by my boys to comeback from 14 down at half against the Ravens, I can not wait until next week. Pit is the second number in each category, we even beat them in penalties. Seriously the lack of Raven O was to be blame, not the refs or the Steeler D as I choose to see it! 1st Downs 12 21 Passing 1st downs 8 11 Rushing 1st downs 2 7 1st downs from Penalties 2 3 3rd down efficiency 5-12 7-14 4th down efficiency 0-1 1-1 Total Plays 53 69 Total Yards 126 263 Passing 91 192 Comp-Att 16-30 19-32 Yards per pass 3.0 6.0 Rushing 35 71 Rushing Attempts 18 31 Yards per rush 1.9 2.3 Red Zone (Made-Att) 2-3 4-5 Penalties 6-74 9-93 Turnovers 3 2 Fumbles lost 2 2 Interceptions thrown 1 0 Defensive / Special Teams TDs 1 0 Possession 25:32 34:28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrumjuice Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 but how can you possibly blame the refs. I am not blaming them, but they set records for penalty yards and flags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I am not blaming them, but they set records for penalty yards and flags. Yep, and that crew through the most flags during the season as well. Why on earth they would choose the over-officious crew for a playoff game is beyond me.

Rovers Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think they had to throw a lot of flags to keep that game under control. To say it was chippy is a ridiculous understatement. Congrats Menudo, nice comeback for the Steelers. I hope Farrior gets his wish granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 OK. Lost money on the game. It was a really fun game to watch, both teams are very good in so many different ways. Thought the holding call on the Baltimore punt return was one of the worst calls I've ever seen. Not sure if that was the money leaving my pocket making me feel that way or not. With that said, Boldin got hit in the end zone and he choked. TJ choked at the end...3rd and 19 and you let that happen to you? Pittsburgh is most definitely a deserving representative in the AFC Championship. Congrats to their fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 man I don't know how that was holding That, my friends, is a crock of poo. That is not a hold. upon review I seriously doubt that was holding Hmm . . did someone hit the Buffalo Wild Wings overtime button? Another horrible call by the referee's to negatively impact a great contest and give Pittsburgh another advantage. This gets old. Bad holding call but great acting on the play to get the hold call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The Steelers beat the Ravens straight up; the Ravens have no one to blame but themselves...again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
