Sunday Night Open Thread: Steelers at Ravens

PrintNot an NFC game, but a huge game for the Steelers and Ravens with 1st place in the AFC North on the line. After the Steelers barely got a win last week against an awful Bills team, and with a banged up offensive line, I would expect the Ravens have the advantage. But the line on this game is only Ravens by 2.5.

Man, I don't miss playing these two teams this year.
After that fight, I don’t want to play these teams again.
I didn't believe it last August, but it turns out that love survives.

Don't mind me.
I can’t find it anywhere. Screw NFL.com, it was up for sale just a few hours ago.

They were available at the stadium.
And my guess is that they’ll be around at the pro-shop.
I thought McCarthy’s jacket looked pretty sharp.
BCB free since 8/24/10 and happier for it.

Damn
I’m glad I ordered mine during the game – looks like a real limited edition item.

I like you guys searched all over for it. Called Packersproshop and they said these have been on sale since August but are currently sold out and that’s why they aren’t on the website. I put out a call on FB and someone came back with this link. They were in stock as of (10:30AM 12/6/10)

Why have I never heard of this show before?
Suddenly everybody went berserk on Twitter and Facebook about it. Looks like I’ll have to check it out.

It just amazes me that this is the first I'm hearing of this show.
Especially since I love zombie movies and video games and such.

The Packers streak of getting coaches fired unfortunately won't happen in SF
The NFC West sucks so bad, the 49ers are still in the NFC West race.

Wow, the sight of Heath Miller getting layed
out like that is enough to make me sick. No flag, but rest assured their will be a monster fine.

This is pretty cool...
Highlights:
Packers have the 5th best chance to make the playoffs with a overall chance of 65.33%. They have the highest percent chance to make the 6th wildcard (26.6%) and have a 17.9% chance to win the division with the 2 seed.
Bears have an 88.45% chance to make the playoffs, 13.7% chance to have the number 1 seed, 38.3% for the 2nd, and a 13.5% chance to get a wildcard.
The Vikings have a 1.2% chance to get the 6th spot. SO YOU’RE TELLING ME THERE IS A CHANCE!
Lions are out officially.

Neato.
Click on the Packers in the link and it gives you impact on the game and percentage. So tonight’s game, we should be cheering for the Steelers as that would impact our chances by .35% increase!
by Bush League All Star on Dec 5, 2010 10:08 PM CST up reply actions
If the Ravens win,
it has a .37% decrease, so
that is a .72% swing!
TT bashers - turning my stomach since 2005!
The glass is way more than half-full!
BOOO RAVENS!
It kind of shows us who to root for though! I like that. :) I mean we should already know, but I think it is interesting how those smaller games impact a percentage like that.

So I picked up a half-case of Forest Grove Pinot Noir (2009) at $10/bottle
And I finally cracked the first bottle today. It’s a little watery, but the pinot flavor is excellent. Medium-body with some citrus notes. Damn, but I love Oregon pinots…

I finally got to turn the damned game on, after a nightful of BS. The wine tastes exceptionally good now that that’s over.

I kind of made it a mission as a younger person
To acquire a taste for every type of alcohol out there. So I went through phases of drinking different stuff to see what all was out there. So now I’m a helluva good guy to know at the bar – generally, I can see what you’re drinking now and tell you something new you might enjoy.
It’s come in handy on more than one occasion.

Polamalu this Polamalu that. He is very overrated. I could name 5 safeties that I would take before him.

He makes for a pretty good OLB, though
It’s the versatility that gets praised, not necessarily the pure safety play.

True,
but good QB’s exploit him down the field. Rodgers had a field day on him last year deep down the field.

How was that not illegal formation?
One of the Ravens’ wide-outs looked to be lined up well beyond the ball.

Thoughts on Lil' Wayne
being a Packer fan. I couldn’t beleive my ears when I heard he was at the game in a regular seat, not a heated box.

He really gets into the experience. He may not be from Wisconsin, but he cheers for the Pack like he is. Cool in my book.

I've gotta say
NBC’s HD coverage looks prettier than any other channel’s. It may be that they just have night games, but it looks better than MNF or TNF, too. Will they ever get another Super Bowl?

Who would have guessed it
Collinsworth is on the rapist’s jock. He played terrible, the defense won the game, he had little to do with it.

He is, there are only a few good ones left.
He surely isn’t one of them. Billick is trash, Simms is worse than trash, Aikman is good though. Don’t even get me started on Matt Millen on TNF.

Well, for starters,
Joe Buck doesn’t understand a thing about baseball. Which is probably why they hired him to do football … he doesn’t understand a thing about football either. Pair him with Tim McCarver, who is almost insufferable, and that is far from the ideal booth.
Al Michaels, meh. Middle of the road, but sometimes, he gets very repetitive.

Phil Simms sucks, huh?
Do you listen to the games. Do you want Rich “Auffense” Gannon as CBS’s #1 color guy?
"Tragedy is what happens to me. Comedy is what happens to you." -Mel Brooks
Middle of the road for me
He makes some dumb observations at times, but there are more than a handful of color guys out there who suck more. Joe Theismann, I’m lookin’ at you.

Your kidding, right?
Collinsworth is a teribble announcer because he treat’s viewer’s with some respect, because he explains to a tee why a play did or didn’t work, because he’s not afraid to call out people.
Seriously, if you think Collinsworth sucks, I’d like to know who you think is good.
