looks like the bengals trying to burn ike taylor early

so far, not working out

they did find that  houshmanzadeh can work on de*feces* toastysend though
 [sm_disgust]

although, taylor just got hurt
 >:(

hopefully he'll be ok, he walked off the field

big ben looked ok on the 1st drive even though it fizzled out.   lets see if steelers can keep up the pace and end the bungles season.
 >:( [sm_devil]

big ben just threw a huge pick into the bungles secondary about 60 yard  throw on a post.... about 10 yards overthrown...
 [sm_disgust]

faneca clearly  stripped the ball out on the int return, but the steelers didnt challenge it

great coaching   bill

 ::)

3 and out for the bungles following the int


 ;D

toast*feces* with an illegal block call during hte punt

 [sm_disgust]

hopefully he'll retire along with coach bill

steelers running all over the bungles  right now.  so far the best the oline has looked in weeks

looks more like the last year playbook is being unleashed today.

is whisenhunt  job shopping?  where has this been all year

kendall simmons looks like he's playing for his job today

 :o

blocking like this ....   we might have only lost to baltimore by 20
 :o [sm_rolling]

parker in for the TD  as steelers up 7-0 early, 11:00 in the 2nd quarter


t.o.p.  about 16.00 to 3.00  so far.

great coverage by farrior covering henry on a deep crossing in route.
 :o

allligator arms on top of it

cincy starting to put 8 in the box to stop parker

bengals actually get another 1st odwn


guess how?


tj h.  working on toast*feces*.

sooooooooooo tired of watching him bet burnt.  every play he's in on.
 [sm_disgust]

steelers avert disaster for now  as tj h  was wide open on the pylon   (against toast*feces*)  but  the ball was way overthrown

steelers D  burnt by their own favorite O play  on a critical 3rd and 3 from the 15 or so

the spread set  shovel pass
 ::)

bungles, 2nd and goal from the 5,  2 straight false starts...
 [sm_laughing]

cincy settles for a fg attempt out of it,  crowd booooooooooooooooing loudly

35 yarder is good  ..7-3  with 0.07 in the 1st half

steelers with ANOTHER  strip/ fumble recovery on a punt return that they  do not challenge....


way to care, cowher.

 >:(

tj h  just got  destroyed by smith. 

wow,  cowher actually showing signs of life and spittle  as  willie colon draws an idiotic taunting penalty.

end of 3rd quarter,  7-3  steelers ,  driving inside the bungle 15

parker just coughed it up at the 1 again.
 >:(

and just like that, cincy has the momentum and takes a quick 3 play 80 yard drive to make it 10-7  when they should have been down 14-3


de*feces* toastsend  blown coverage on a 66 yard td.

steelers down to the bengals 5 again

8.15 ticking in the game

and parkers in on 2nd and goal from the 1.

14-10 with 7:27 to play

bengals across midfield with 5.15 ticking...

farrior gets a 15 yard roughing the passer penalty..


BULL*feces* call

makeup call from last years playoff game i guess

1st and 10 bengals from the steeler 30 with 5.06 in the game
wright in for 1 play

tj h  with a fumble ruled incomplete..


looks like a bs homer call

3rd and 8 on the PIT 28

Judas Priest!


 [sm_disgust]

henry down the pipe on a post against toast*feces*send draws  a dpi call  inside the 10

garbage player, garbage call


1st and goal from the 7

harrison with another big tackle.. sure it wasnt roughing ?

Great screen for -1 yards!  Go bengals!

palmer with all kinds of time (thanks to a big hold by the LG and LT)  throws a TD to make it 16-14 (  pat pending)   with 2.47

And there it is.

CIN 17, PIT 14.  2:47 left to play.

17-14  @ 2.47


between  idiot / bs penalties  and cowher  not challenging anything that he should,  a great steelers performance  going down the drain.

I'll have you know that only the new post warning feature let you beat me.

after that garbage penalty  after the 'incomplete' fumble... they should have just let them score.. would have had  at least 3.30 to try to comeback

well, after a crappy return,  the steelers have 84 yards to go to win the game  in 2.47

Well, at least the unsportsmanlike call means a touchback on the kick.  Steelers will probably get better field position that they would've with a return.

?

Did CIN squib the kickoff?

NFL.com says Townshend was flagged, presumably on the extra-point.

Nevermind.  I see now it negated a great return.  :sad3:

they didnt mention it on the air here
but it wouldnt surprise me

big ben with a great post to holmes down to the 20  at the 2 m w


can the steelers get the td?  if they do, will it be too early?

Steelers 29 yards from victory with 1:56 left to play.


("watching" the game on nfl.com bites.)

watching it in SD  isn't much better
  [sm_disgust]

17 yards to go now, still 1st down ...

OK, 17 yards to victory adn now 2nd down ...  :D

timeout @ 1.17  with no gain on 1st down run to parker



timeout called by cincy

each team with 2 left

2nd and 10... offset I right,  screen left to parker dropped

would have lost yards... but stops the clock
 [sm_disgust]

3rd and 10 ... right in the steelers' wheelhouse

3rd and 10, trips right, ddep drop, fire on the left #'s towards holmes...   short and incomplete


1.07

35 yard fg attempt coming

Because they're good when they gamble on 4th down.

lewis calls their 2nd timeout before the fg.

cowher grinning @ lewis


how cute.

asshat.

Trick play coming?  I thought Cowher would show some confidence in his men.  It's not like the season record matters.

Vanilla.

17-17, 1:03 remaining.

the 35 yarder from the left hash is ...



....











right down the pipe....


17-17  @  1.03

true, the reg season record doesnt really matter....  but knocking cincy out does


and a trick play from that spot of the field is death

Doesn't seem to stop Cowher ...

great return from the goalline to the 33.

need about 35 yard drive for the fg attempt to win it

Is it just me, or is the PIT kick-return defense just lousy this year?

well, old cowher...  would have gone for it... maybe


new cowher is a sissy

25 yards would do it.

deep go route to henry to the steeler 20...


beautiful throw...


spiked @ .22

And like that, CIN down to the PIT 20.

delay of game on the bungles moves it to the 25.


1st and 15 with 0.22

I wonder where I could find stats on how many times teams gave up passes of 30+ yards this season?  Have to think the Steelers rank pretty high on that one.

ahhh, bull*feces*... they gave cincy the timeout

just find a stat where anytime  townsend was on the field...

then probably divide it by 2.

Picked up the flag???

2nd and 10 @ 0.22

ball on the left hash.... palmer kneels it down at the 23...


clock wasnt rolling


WTF


homefield  BULL*feces*


*fudge* these officials.

3rd and 10 at the PIT20

And here comes the 37-yard FG attempt.

wtf. officials totally ruined this

4th and 12 0.12

40 yard  attempt from the middle of the field...

steelers use a timeout.   icing the kicker...

fg is.... wide right !
 :o

nfl.com play-by-play is jumping all over the place ... ??

slice slice slice

that's because hte officials botched it

at 2nd and 10, they had delay of game, then it was waived and 'timeout'  then after the timeout,  he kneeled it,  the clock was never running, then the steelers were bitching about it,  then he snapped it and spiked it,  and the officials just said

'put 12 seconds on the clock'.  they also spotted it WAY ahead of where he knelt it


total *fiddlesticks*up

And into OT we go.  Wish this was on TV.  Then again, maybe it is (I'm at work).

steelers win the toss and receive !

Heard somewhere that the team that touches the ball first in OT wins something like 2/3 of the time.

kickoff taken by holmes 2 deep, up the right #'s and out to the 21.
 ::)

trips slot left, parker patiently up the LT for 5.

2nd and 5... 2 slot right, drop back,  then stepping up, sliding for a 1st down

then hit late  with no flag


wtf




pitiful !


1st and 10 from the 33...

quick slant left to holmes  who slips through tackles and takes it down the left sideline for a TD !

FWIW: Each team scored (or should have scored, Willie) on all of their last three possessions.

suck it   criminalnatti bungles.

Well, that works for me.
