I thought tosh.0 was some of the funniest stuff I had heard until I read your post. I assume you are a Browns fan? The same Browns that got schooled in your own stadium by the Bungles yesterday…

Browns fans talking trash….always can count on you to make me laugh.

Can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I think the refs handled that really well … for a change. They quickly regained order, and went on with the game. And there weren’t ongoing scuffles. I especially liked that they flagged one team. Too often in these situations, the refs call offsetting penalties, which lets the troublemaker off the hook. Ike says Oher pushed off on his leg, and that may be true, but–as Ike admits–he can’t react to something like that. He’s the one who started the fight, and he deserved the penalty.

But no one deliberately shoved the ref. These are volatile men playing a violent game. We don’t need to be talking about fining and suspending them every time they turn around. Those punishments should be saved for egregious violations. The role of officials is to flag infractions on the field where they’ll have an impact on the game–and for once they did exactly what they were supposed to do.

I think it was Ike who started the Rice fight. I’ll call Troy plenty of things, but one thing I’ll never accuse him of being is a hothead. Ike should be fined, Troy and Oher should be fined. I know Oher was protecting his guy, but he went over the line. Unacceptable regardless of his intentions.

The second one… I didn’t see who shoved Oher into the ref, but whoever did needs a suspension. Refs just lost control of that game, and then this happened.

The Steelers should schedule these games every year. Especially, after going to the Super Bowl. That’s right Pittsburgh, we haven’t done anything this year. And that’s when we are. This Year!

GO STEELERS!

I gratz’d and fist-bumped in another thread. Life will go on. In the meantime enjoy a decisive victory. Can’t wait to see ccccctrollihan’s whining about the refs even though his team won.

But for a little perspective: the Ravens are now up to 1-8 in their last 9 games versus the Roethlisberger-led Steelers. Little brother finally got his day in the sun.

And apparently, going 1-8 has some in Raven Nation in full blown ‘gasm mode.

See you in the ‘Burgh.

Big Ben got beat up pretty good today… I guess now he knows how those 2 girls felt.
———————————————–

Ben was beat up today by a great defense. Even if those women were telling the truth in their allegations–and the evidence says otherwise–neither of them accused Ben of beating her up and neither of them had a mark on her. Is there any chance you can just enjoy your victory without being a total idiot?

It wasn’t Troy who started the rumble, it was the Steelers’ Ike Taylor. Then Oher reacted and Troy reacted. Knowing their tendencies, it’s more like Ike to start something than Troy. He’s the less disciplined of the two. And he’s the one who drew the penalty.

I congratulate the Ravens on a decisive victory. They did everything right today. As I posted on another thread, I love my team but am not a fan of them doing their talking off the field. Hope this was a lesson to some of them. The Ravens owned them today.

No reason to panic yet 15 games to go, been nearly 40 years since a sb winning team was 16-0, regroup next week and go hard again. congrats to the ravens, steeleres faaaaaar from done, getting into january/february football is most important form goes out the window then. Just hoping this (result aside) might be an afc cship game preview, our post season games are always epic.

Meanwhile, their fans are worked up into a lather…

/ stop that! you’ll go blind!

Polamalu the punk had NO BUSINESS pushing and shoving Rice when down on the ground!

——————————————————

That’s exactly right! Someone soon is gonna give this long haired punk a good “tuning up”.

is it still week one?…relax…ravens look ready to START the season strong…we did not…last i checked, your finish is a bit more important than your start…btw, arent you supposed to win your home opener?

——————————-

All true but I can’t help but think that you Squealer fans would be laying to the Ravens if the roles were reversed…

Especially that idiot 6rings…

Lol….”pass decade.” Yeah Baltimore public schools.
