I rewound the play, the Baltimore guy running off was the 11th man, not the 12th. Classic Harbaugh forgetting the rules.

Running straight at a guy from in front of his face and blocking him square in the chest is a penalty. Okay.

Collinsworth seemingly loses cognitive function during these Ravens-Steelers games.

‘Sure you could call that a foul but you could call a lotta things.....these two teams are getting after it’

‘It’s hard to talk about a teams personality, but plays like that mean more to the Steelers’

‘Eric Weddle and Roethlisberger text each other...’

I mean, good lord.

and that's why fumbles at the goal line absolutely kill you
Textbook game of one team letting another off the hook.

Had no idea Steelers are so helpless in the secondary. Seems worse than it ever was — and it’s been bad for a good long while.

And not for lack of trying - Artie Burns was a first, Sean Davis was a two, Terrell Edmunds was their first this year, Cam Sutton was a third, they used a second on (ex-Sox draft pick) Senquez Golson, who never suited up because he kept getting hurt ...

Maybe they should give their WR guy a chance at scouting defensive backs

Steelers lockeroom is a ticking time bomb... Only a matter of time before something happens

Steelers OL should spend less time talking about Le’Veon and more time figuring out how to block. They’ve gotten nothing from their ground game last 3 weeks.

AJ Green, you may want to cover him on the last play of the game, Falcons.

What putrid 4th down defense by them, and the Iggles. No clue how those teams lost.

They did a breakdown on tv of the Eagles’ 4th down defense. It was both horrendous and glorious.

On seeing the Hyde run again, it definitely looked like he was short but the Browns may have gotten shafted a bit on the respot.

As long as he's off the line there's nothing wrong with that play. He's lining up in the backfield.

Of course, if some other team ran it against the Ravens, Harbaugh would be running to the rules committee.

I know they had a breakdown but I thought it was a really money throw from Dalton and a great catch by Green regardless.

The Bengals can play, they look like a 10 or 11 win team.

and wearing an eligible receiver's number.

Yes. No surprise Collinsworth chose not to discuss that last night.

Yeah I thought he and Al were being ironic for a few seconds when they said ‘I’ve never seen that before’, but that was giving them too much credit as it turned out.

NBC usually runs a tight production ship, but they never pulled the lever on the ‘14 divisional round highlights. It’s doubly confusing because NBC aired that game (and Al/Cris called it).

Why do so many NFL coaches overthink stuff? Denver comes out with a nice play action bootleg for 11 yards, then run for 17 and 18 yards on back to back rushes right up the gut. Instead of sticking with the running game, or running play action, they try a quick pass to the flat that doesn't work, Keenum gets sacked on a straight drop back, and then a 7 yard completion on 3rd and long, and the drive is over. How do you not just keep running the ball until it doesn't work?
