fredtoast Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 So the only reason given for us losing the last game of the season is "it is too hard to sweep the Ravens"? We have won 6 of our last 7 games against Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|schotzee| Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yea and apparently hard to sweep a division opponent is out the door for the Stealers, as she has them beating us twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|schotzee| Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Also, didn't we sweep all 3 in one season not too many years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccartman2 Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 IIRC it was also the last time we had a run game ranked better than mid-20's. That was the year we starting using a extra tackle. Don't recall having great rushers. We just had so many big people on the field we could run over people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill averaged over 5 ypc. Combined overall rankings are weird. A crappy rushing team could have a bunch of goal line TD's and drive up the ranking. On the other hand, we've had highly ranked pass defenses based on points allowed, but the same situation - the opponent running for TD's - would throw that stat off. You can probably find a stat to prove anything. I don't think anyone is under the impression we've had a consistent running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I hit the tab key, which highlighted save, then remembered that didn't work here so hit the space bar.. Which saved. It's ok though, because I'm sure my effort will be rewarded when one of the usual kooks disagrees with me about something and tells me all I do is troll. You're welcome.

fredtoast Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Going into the '09 season we had two good starers on our O-line (Whitworth, Bobbie Williams). The rest of the guys were scraps. Evan Mathis was a former 3rd round pick, but he had been cut by two teams in 2 years before signing with the Bengals in '08. Kyle Cook, Nate Livings, and Dennis Roland were all undrafted free agents who came into the '09 with a combine 7 NFL starts. Anthony Collins was a 4th round pick who had 6 career starts before the '09 season. You can draw a line right through the middle of that season. We lost both Chris Henry and Evan Mathis in game 8 against the Ravens and our offense fell off the cliff. We were able to beat the Stealers the next week with only 218 yards and zero tds from our offense, but after that we finished 3-5 with our only wins coming against 5-11 Cleveland, 2-14 Detroit, and 4-12 Kansas City.
