Steelers @ Broncos second half open thread

Scoring drive to start the half would be quite beneficial, and starting with 13 yards is very nice.

Bad Jay.

No biscuit.

We have to prevent them from scoring this drive. We don’t want this game to get close again.

Agreed!

I admit I love seeing Willie Parker not finding any room on the outside.

ANOTHER third-down conversion.

Oh I say that and then he finds some room. Gr.

GRRR

I repeat: ANOTHER third-down conversion.

TD Steelers… :(

21-14

Touchdown Santonio Holmes. It really looked like that was going to be stopped though.

And now it’s a 1 TD game.

Jay, let’s throw some better passes this time.

i say steelers are getting cold in that rocky mtn air!!!! noise bugger who?

Young hit that hole hard! Pity there wasn’t much of a hole there.

Man, Jay throws into double coverage a lot.

b marshal 2nd string and they still cant stop them>>>>>>

jay has a arm un seen in nfl for a long time now

First sack of the game. Good thing Jay kept it.

This is not turning into the right direction.

HUGE conversion.

First down on a screen! Hell yea! (They’re saying it was a dump off but I thought it was a screen)

Young for 15 yards! Beautiful! :)

Is that Jake out there?

Wow, that was a bullet. Two third-and-longs converted.

ya rilly look like jake not!

Stokley for 15!

looks moore like elway then jake…… just needs time to put it together in time u will see this ……

TOUCHDOWN

Come on guys we need another 7!

Scheffler.

t down t sefler mmmmmmmmmm kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

TONY SCHEFFLER!!!! TD!!!

TD Scheffler! I believe this is Jay’s first game with 3+ TD passes!

OK, 14-point lead entering the fourth quarter at home on three-game losing streak.
You

Stats…

B. Clark 2 20 0 13

That was a great recovery on a drive that I thought was going to be lost. And it keeps us up by two scores. Heading into the fourth quarter, I figure we need two good offensive drives to win the game, regardless of what our defense does. Also, putting up a big score will silence a lot of Cutler’s critics.

It’s not like we’re playing the Dolphins out there, either. The Steelers are #1 in the league in points allowed. That’s big, no matter what their schedule was.

One more quarter. Must reserve excitement for one more quarter. So hard. So very hard!!

Let me just say… Denver’s offense is acting like it has it’s healthy starting O-line, WRs and TEs playing out there…. No one tell them they don’t! :)

This has been impressive … for 45 minutes.

Also, Sundays may traumatize my daughter. She still doesn’t quite get that my our yelling is a good thing.

seems u dont know the broncos they will now go into prevent d may be give a point or two however killing the clock and come out with a win in the end !!!!

Yeah, my 5-year-old foster daughter is luckily asleep for this one (and she’s a SOUND sleeper)! :)

buullll shit call

Yea, my not-quite-6-month-old daughter is crawling around the living room while we watch this.

And did we leave Parker open enough?

“And did we leave Parker open enough?”

:(

Yeah, we can’t give Parker 24 yards on a single play…

prevent baby prevent!!!

madden thinks he knows everything

4-and-1…. we need a stop!

C’mon! 4th down STOP boys!!!!

He got it.

if they give them that we need new refs

b… sss..i..t

Still not over.
Damn.

TD Steelers… :(

28-21 10:10 Minutes left…

We need to eat up that clock and get another score (even a FG would help).

Back to a 1 score game. But if we get a good TD drive it could still be OK. So.

LET’S GO BRONCOS!!!!!

Not a good start to this drive. Please don’t go 3 and out. Please don’t go 3 and out. Please don’t go 3 and out.

This is not going well.

Three-and-out

yeah, but Jay did a smart thing by keeping it… there was NO ONE open and he would have had to force it if he threw it.

Todd kicks a +60 yard punt! wow.

Snow falling here in Denver.

Time for the defense to man up.

Big third down.
Please, for once, STOP THEM ON THIRD DOWN.

Ok, let’s get that defense off the field on 3rd down! And I don’t mean by giving up points!

They only rushed 3. That’s a bad choice.

HUGE SACK

Another sack!! This time for Engelberger

Sigh. Here we go again.
Third-and-long.

AND CONVERTED.

Come ON.

Aaaaaaaaargh

2:00 minutes…. come on DEFENSE!!!!

We’re at the 2 minute warning. We’re up by 1 TD. One good thing is that PIT isn’t showing any real hurry on the ball, which means at this point if we can stop them then the game is over right there. If we don’t it goes into OT, which is a giant crapshoot, but not definitely a loss. So so far we’re in the position of strength.

We need to not break here. Let’s get a BIG PLAY.

I KNOW we can do this!!!!

Nope. Touchdown Steelers.

We have 1:10 to score a field goal.

The big issue now is: NO turnover.

And to think, my wife told me I should relax before the 4th quarter started. :(

“The big issue now is: NO turnover.”

I second that motion.

Can’t relax with this team until it shows it can close games, especially at home.
This would be the ultimate heartbreak if they can’t pull this out.

Scheffler’s hurt… that’s going to hurt!

Come on, kid.

First down. Inside the 40. 33 seconds to play.

we believe. we believe. we believe.

Wow. What a replay this is. Not decided yet.

Come on. We need this break.

HUGE break.

Going to rely on a 48-yarder?!!

We believe in you Elam!!!

Timeout.

Elam loves being iced.

YES, BALLGAME

WE WON!!!! :)

ELAM IS THE WINNAH!!!!!!

Jonathan, you want to do the game wrap post? I don’t think I have any left =)

HALLELUJAH!
