2014 NFL thread: Down and Dirty - Part 1

[Warhammer]

I don't know what voodoo or spell that that godforsaken city of Cleveland conjured up during halftime last week, but it is working. Pittsburgh's offense has been putrid ever since.

I cannot wait to see what Matt has to say about this horses***.

 

[Boom]

Roethlisberger's TD streak just came to an unceremonious end.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Damn, The AFC still looks anemic.

 

[runawayboulder]

Some of the calls in that game were disgraceful.

 

[The Apocalypse]

What a disgusting game.

 

[Supernova]

The city of Baltimore should thank Ed Hoculi for this win.

For 20 points more? Lol come on now the steelers got beat by the better team tonight, don't down play that arse whooping. Hercules didn't tell the steelers defense to lead with there Helmets and forearms as well grab face mask on all tackles. Steelers played unorganized discipline football bottom line. Heck they called it ok us too on the first play of the game so it went both ways.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I know Shazier is a rookie but he was terrible in coverage tonight. Jones wasn't any better either. Baltimore's TEs ate them for dinner. Mitchell (who laid out Smitty on a legal hit earlier) missed too many tackles too.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Nice! Now Cincy needs to pull out a win on Sunday to own that top spot.

 

[CrypticOne]

Wow. What was wrong with the Steelers?! They failed at every aspect of the game tonight, except goal line stands.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

They weren't playing the Browns.

 

[Grievous]

Great win, we looked a lot better than week 1. Only complaint I have is we should of got TDs at the goal line instead of getting FGs.

 

[Lantern Venom]

I was once part of the "fans will watch regardless" crowd, but that seems like a lifetime ago. Every year, the NFL makes rule changes that dilutes the game a little more and enforces more nonsensical officiating. If it wasn't for decades of loyalty to my team, I would wash my hands of the league completely.

I was surprised by how easy it was to sleep through the Super Bowl last year. I would have laughed at the assertion that every fan has his or her breaking point, but Roger Goodell found mine:

 

[Grievous]

I'm not 100% sure but I might of quit the NFL if the Niners won that game, the lights going off killed the Ravens mojo and let the Niners collect their emotions

 

[Lantern Venom]

I guess you and I have the opposite perspectives on who was cheated (and whose safety was compromised) in that game, but it was one of many NFL shams I've seen in recent years. Maybe Goodell will leave and Jerome Boger will be fired some day, so I'll start caring again. Then again, maybe not.

 

[Supernova]

Joe and crew must have left 3 TD's on the field. but they are getting the offense going in the right direction and that is a positive thing to see.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Bunch of Ravens fans showed up in Ray Rice jerseys. I don't know who is worse. The Ravens management or the fans. At least the players and coach have a real emotional attachment to Ray Rice. So I can get their stance for the most part. But there is no excuse for the fans.

 

[Donut]

Maybe the women of Baltimore likes Domestic Violence & enjoys getting beat up

since you two arent from baltimore and I can asusme you dont live anywhere near here, what you fail to realize is the national media that was there last night interviewed a handful of people they picked out of a crowd with 27 jerseys on. Like sheep you are buying that the whole stadium was filled with rice jerseys and supporters. I had a bunch friends go there last night in various sections from bottom to the top levels and they saw maybe a couple dozen jerseys walking around but nothing eye dropping. The national media failed to interview different people and paint a more accurate picture of baltimores feelings toward ray rice. Just lazy reporting by the media. you cant take an entire cities opinion based off a couple bimbos on camera.

Im curious Donut and Darthskywalker, where do you hail from? actually dont answer that because you may live somewhere and root for another team somewhere else, instead what team you back? Im from Baltimore, MD and back the ravens since 1996.

 

[Supernova]

This goes for any city in the league, heck when vick came to philly in 2010 and blew up and you saw 7 jerseys, I didnt think to myself "oh philly is one giant city that supports the killing of dogs". Heck no because I was only shown what the tv networks wanted me to see. I had better common sense than that.

 

[Hush]

People spent hard earned money on those jerseys, they are ridiculously expensive, does anyone else think some of those folks just wore cause it was their colors? I mean **** it's like when I see Gretzky jerseys at The Blues games we didn't have the man for a season but like everyone has his damn jersey, you just gonna throw out expensive merch cause of some controversy? ****, I wouldn't.

 

[Erzengel]

There was an exchange program.

 

[Supernova]

There was an exchange program.

happens next friday and saturday at the stadium.....

In fairness those were Ron Mexico jerseys.

LOL holy crap I forgot all about that.

I live near Baltimore and I feel they did show exactly how the city feels. The people of Baltimore are more upset that he might mess up their season than about what he did.
