Steelers/Broncos Gamethread

[Section15Box113]

Denver: 1/12 on third down.

 

[MillarTime]

Watching this game, I am getting more and more confident that the Pats are going to beat either of these teams soundly.

 

[3rd Degree]

Great pressure from Pittsburgh. No time for DPI to develop.

 

[PseuFighter]

also, that fields looks awful.

 

[axx]

That Bronco turns around and goes the other way he probably picks up the first

 

[johnmd20]

Catch a fucking punt you dick.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Holy shit they're lucky.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Oh god.

 

[Manzivino]

Maybe 11 doesn't return punts anymore today.

 

[kelpapa]

STOP LETTING HIM RETURN KICKS

 

[Quiddity]

Wow, Steelers got lucky on that one. Thought that was a safety at first.

BTW, the Steelers absolutely blow at fielding punts.

 

[Stitch01]

No, he doesn't---QB can give himself up. And did there.

He's saying the defense still needs to be smart and touch him regardless of rule

 

[DJnVa]

Is that the dumbest man in the world?

 

[Section15Box113]

Whoa.

 

[Just a bit outside]

How is Wheaton still returning punts?

 

[Vandalman]

Almost the break Denver needs

 

[mauidano]

Whew! Penalty on Denver?

 

[Stitch01]

Lol expert muff

 

[brandonchristensen]

SO fucking LUCKYYYYY

Jesus Christ.

 

[rembrat]

Wow, was the AFC historically shitty this year?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Worst return guy ever.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Got lucky there

OK 1st down at the 25, let's go

 

[rodderick]

Right call. He only established control of the ball after it touched the line.

 

[pokey_reese]

Thank goodness. Both teams are barely avoiding disaster today.

 

[staz]

What a shitshow.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Maybe 11 doesn't return punts anymore today.

Wheaton is fucking awful.

 

[Grimace-HS]

Can someone with rewind capabilities check if a whistle blew? I could have sworn I heard one right about when Peyton picked himself up and threw it

I just re-watched a few times...looked like a slide, but I couldn't hear a whistle. Not sure if anyone else could pick it up.

 

[scottyno]

that rule makes no sense that you gain yardage by muffing it backwards and recovering it

 

[bigsid05]

Wheaton is an idiot. But his idiocy actually seems to have helped this time.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Nantz is so bad.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Take the touchback and don't risk a re-kick.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Nantz crying because the Steelers caught a break. He is a fucking disgrace.

 

[ypioca]

Just staple that fucker to the bench.

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

STOP LETTING HIM RETURN KICKS

BB is sitting at home right now getting oxygen from a tank because he's laughing so hard. He'd have cut him and sent him to Saudi Arabia to have his hands amputated by now.

 

[normstalls]

Nance is such a homer tool bag

 

[canderson]

These teams both fucking suck. Brady can light up these defenses I'd think.

 

[pokey_reese]

A slow drive to get a FG could basically ice the game for Pitt, the way things are going today. Poor Brock.

 

[DonBuddinE6]

Gonna be challenged, PIT gets ball @1, then safety, final score DEN 14, PIT 13

 

[TrotWaddles]

How is Wheaton still returning punts?

If you squint just right, he looks like Harper

 

[Jnai]

that rule makes no sense that you gain yardage by muffing it backwards and recovering it

Fumble rules are all weird.

 

[Stitch01]

the definition of play bad get there. Almost muff away the season get it at the 20 via typical lol NFL rule

 

[Red Averages]

Denver has a better chance of scoring on D than offense the rest of the way.

 

[Gambler7]

Nantz is so in the bag for Manning it is sickening.

 

[Manzivino]

No, he doesn't---QB can give himself up. And did there.

I was trying to make 2 separate points, not to say that Allen needed to touch Peyton down after he slid. What I meant was that a) Peyton slid to give himself up and the refs blew the call and b) regardless of the refs fucking up, Allen fucked up and absolutely can't overrun immobile Peyton Manning in that spot, he completely overran the play against a statue.

 

[Al Zarilla]

that rule makes no sense that you gain yardage by muffing it backwards and recovering it

Ball momentum is what put the ball into the end zone.

 

[nothumb]

i didn't think the manning turtle non-call was that bad. it wasn't like somebody pulled off from trying to hit him, nobody else was close to him except allen. and yes he does turtle like that routinely, but i don't really want refs trying to decide on a split second basis if a QB slipped or surrendered. proper to hold on to the whistle there, and once it happens it's not reviewable.

 

[mikeot]

Watching this game, I am getting more and more confident that the Pats are going to beat either of these teams soundly.

Just as long as the league and the officials don't interfere.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

If you changed the jerseys and told me this was a Jaguars-Titans game from Week 4, I'd buy it. Just bad football today.

 

[mauidano]

Only one "barking" is you Nantz.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Lemme guess, OPI
