NFL Opener- OVERTIME Thread

Hines Ward fumbled away the winning catch while going for the (covering) TD. Now it's OVERTIME.
Steelers start with the football.
[Update]: Steelers win 13-10, Titans never see the football in OT. The Ds looked good (minus the Titans prevent/soft coverage D at the end of the 4th and in OT). The O's not so much and the Titans special teams cost them the game. Missed FG, blocked FG, gained 73 yards on 7 returns, allowed 126 yards on 5 returns.
We all know the damage losing the special teams battle can do. Hopefully tonight means that FO's can accurately project special teams play. The Titans will have terrible special teams, crippling their defense/ball control strategy and the Colts will live up to their top 8 ST ranking, if only so that I don't have to hide my eyes when they kickoff or punt.
This is still your open thread.

I actually *GASP* agree with Collinsworth. The Titans D needs to be much more aggressive.

Collinsworth has been right about everything tonight
He had a masterful game as a color analyst. Every time he talked it was to say something useful and informative. He talked about gap control, interior line blocking, blown assignments, the effectiveness of pump fakes, closing speed, every little minor detail that makes the game really tick but gets overlooked. Super helpful.
You can choose to hate the guy all you want based on his smarmy face and beak nose and condescending attitude in the studio, but in the booth the man has no equal. It’s not even close (Gruden has the potential but so far has shown me that he’s no better than Madden. Which isn’t an insult.)

The D is the only unit that showed up.
The offense was ineffective and the special teams was worse than anything we ever put on the field, and that’s saying something.

Of course Hines would be on my fantasy team
Cost me four points, pal. I would be pissed at him but can you really stay mad at somebody who lays down a crack block like that in OT? I certainly can’t. It wouldn’t be as bad if I wasn’t playing against Holmes. Nice 5 pt projection for him, Matthew Berry.

Heh, Plumpler
Alge looked like he scooped up the 30lbs LenWhale lost this summer.
They’ll be OK at wideout, though. No huge gamebreakers but Collins isn’t really good enough to be the big gamebreaking QB anyway.
It’s a shame that Michael Griffin is such an idiot though. If he managed to do his job and throw a block instead of racing ahead for no reason, Finnegan likely scores the TD at the end of the first half and gives the Titans a huge boost and lead at the break. Those 7 free points sure would’ve helped out a lot.

hey guys
sorry i didn’t join you guys in the thread tonight. Was at a friends house watching the game (he has an awesome TV heh heh). Great game for a slug fest. After watching the game, I think the Titans have some issues on special teams and, although they have a good pass rush still, if a team can control the interior of their D-Line it could neutralize the rush. on the flip side, the steelers still have issues on their O-Line If Polumalu is injured for a large period of time (which I hope is not too serious. Nobody wishes for someone to be injured) their could be issues in the secondary as well.
by metal_militia on Sep 11, 2009 1:10 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Damn I wish we could trust our O-Line
as much as Roethlisberger trusts his as he sits… and sits… and sits… and fake-pumps.. and fake-pumps… and scooches to his left… and fake-pumps… you get the point
How can you not love a team that does this?
by LovinBlue on Sep 11, 2009 1:49 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
That was not the Steelers O-Line
that was their O-Line against a tired defense. if you saw the first three quarters, the protection for big ben was putrid and they created no holes for the running game.
I hope for that kind of line too lovinblue, only I want it to be consistent for all 4 quarters (and overtime if we so happen to play in those games), not just 1 like the Steelers had today

We wont have a QB like ben that holds on to the ball
but dont you at least want a line that could provide similar time to the Steelers Line when they were playing against a tired Titan defense? on some throws Ben had all day. I hope our line could provide that but on a consistent basis

Tomlin was right, he said it going to be violent.
And It was. I can’t remember the last time I watched a game where two teams hated each other as much. But did anyone else see what I saw? I saw some serious flaws in both teams. And after last night, how many times are other teams going to fall for those pump fakes?
