Huntely with a lot of time as they move the pocket, can't find anyone, tries to hit one along the sidelines, incomplete Again back to pass, pump fake, takes off for a gain of 7 Quick pass to Likely over the middle for a 1st down

Harris off the left side, gain of 11 They try quick snap, flag on their center, loss of 5 Up the middle again for 2, 2nd and 13 Screen, Rudolph barely gets the ball away, gain of 3 3rd and 8 Pass dumped down short, tackled immediately, fumble? Ravens ball, for now, Mullet on recovery, it is a fumble, Philips with the force on Warren

Major delay, 12 men on field, why is this so difficult? It was on Pit, Rekick Blow the whistle, jeepers Almost blocked, he kicked it sideways, only went 26 yards Now at the Ravens 35 Gordon up the middle, bounces outside for 6 Gordon again, for 4 1st down Gordon again, fumbles, as usual, Steelers recover

3rd down, 29 seconds Deep shot to Johnson, Stephens right with him, over thrown, end of quarter as punt rolls dead at their 5

Run up the middle for 5 NAKED boot, major pressure, dumps it down for a loss of 2

Dee, a lot of game left, but I don't think it will matter, come watch. I may turn it off and go back to "A Murder at the end of the World", first episode was great

Gordon around the right end for 3 Pass over the middle to Kolar, dropped, 3rd and 7, under 2 mins left in the 1st Blitz is picked up, Huntley can't find anyone, back tracks, tries to hit Hill in the flat, not enough arm Punt returned to their 40

End around for 8 Need a stop, fumble, sack, pick Naked boot, dumps it down to Hayword for 3, 1st down Run off the left guard for 5 Short pass in the flat for 5 Under 5 mins left in 1st Run up the middle for 9 They look like they are playing to not get hurt Clean the camera lens Pitch to Harris gets 6, 1st and goal 3:30 Harris off the right for 4 Hey Louis, Warren is averaging 9 yards per carry this game because he had 1 carry for 9 Harris up the middle for a touchdown

Up the middle for 6 Nothing worse than a cold, cold rain Up the middle again for 2 3rd down 9 mins left in the 1st Up the middle, gain of 3 Pierce, who just got an extension through the 25 season made the stop Swing pass to Warren who rumbles for 20

Of course they are going to run commercials every chance they get...

First team line is in, Huntley keeps it for 2 Gus is in Pass to short middle to Kolar, complete for 5 3rd down Hill in Lobs it to Hill on a wheel route, who is well covered, incomplete Punt gets a good bounce, 64 yards, returned to the 29

Wide receiver screen gets 6 3rd down Almost picked by Williams, incomplete too hard, too wet Punt fair caught, safely, at the 19

Almost another fumble on a pitch to the left, no gain

Harris wide open in the flat gets 7, 3rd and 1 Crowd sounds good Wow, tight window, nice pitch and catch for 8

Touchback, major rain, this should be interesting Darn near a fumble, gain of 2 on the run up the middle

No, not Luis Riddick and Dan Big Ears, man talk about ruining the experience

This play up to the game would be warranted if the Ravens were playing their starters... good grief

Let's get ready to rumble! Okay, don't tell on me, I think that broke copy right laws, my bad

Well, with this game a mystery, and then 2 week off, (your might need 2 weeks to get through this, here is the latest PunchLine podcasts

Well you know the drill young lady, follow the thread, watch when it is safe

I am curious to Huntley in Todd's system. Huntley is nothing if not accurate on short to intermediate throws. If given time, with these new route combinations, Huntley might thrive, at least enough to move the ball, score some points. The only 2 questions are; can avoid the turnovers that cost games & 2, can the back up defenders play well enough to keep this game close?

Signs with the Ravens, nice depth move. Per Shefty

I would not count on Andrews, tib fracture and ligament damage. I know, several players lately have had this same injury and come back, but not quite at full strength. Even if he did he would need a full game to get back in playing shape. Likely has proven to not only he dependable, but a true weapon. So bring Andrews back slowly, if at all, to maybe- be ready for the Super Bowl should they make it that far.

They seem to be focussed, know that this year, they really have a chance to win it all. They have the talent, the health for the most part, while other teams, normally much better, have major issues. I hope Harbs keeps them around, so they don't get tempted to do "team bonding" on cruises, which will take your legs away.

Half of the playoff teams, that are locked in to a spot, are sitting their starting qbs and key players who may or may not be dinged. Good move, I don't buy into the rust settling in, this isn't baseball nor basketball where you may lose your "eye" for the ball or hoop with time off. The key is what they do in the days off, how do they spend their time? I use to coach, several sports. Helped lead my softball team to back to back championship games. We had the best team, there was a 2 week layoff between seasons end and the game. This was summer, the players late teens, 20 somethings mostly. I told them NOT to go swimming and to get plenty of fluids 10 out from the game. Why? Swimming wipes you out. It is the best form of exercise there is, low impact but works every muscle group. Even just playing water games, NO! What did they do? They went swimming, most every day, came out flat in the game, we got smoked. 2nd year? Some followed my advice, a few, my star shortstop one of them, went to a head banging concert and got injured in the mosh pit 2 days before the game, sprained his knee, could not play. We lost again. So what these guys do in the time off is key, especially in football, hydrate, rest, do safe activities with family, NOT CRUISES, the sun, the waves, the sea sickness, lingers.
