Week 13 Thanksgiving Primetime: Pittsburgh Steelers (5-6) @ Baltimore Ravens (5-6)

[Gronk4M13]

What a game! I'm so thankful that the Ravens won. But, it's not over yet. Still plenty of football to be played, still plenty of obstacles standing in our way of the postseason.

I agree. I was definitely pulling for the Steelers but after that happened happy they didn't win because it would've been the topic of conversation all week in the media

From what I hear so far it's STILL all anybody wants to talk about. Nobody on the Ravens is taking the bait and the Ravens won, but they still want to harp on it. Oh well.

I will say, it should've been a flag no matter what. The Jets got flagged for being on the white just last week. The ref had to run behind him... it should've been a flag. A flag could have legitimately resulted in giving Jones a touchdown. I'd much rather hear the talk about Tomlin which will go nowhere, than the talk if Jones was given a touchdown on that play.

Coach Tomlin got caught up in the moment. Jacoby said he had to swerve a bit because of it. Even if he didn't have to swerve it should have been flagged.

I'm just relieved we held on. Big Ben was money in the second half.

I lost a lot of respect for Tomlin. There's no excuse for what he did. His bank account is about to take a big hit.

I'm glad the Ravens got the W and basically eliminated the Steelers from playoff contention.

You do realize Jacoby Jones said after the game that he wasn't upset and he would've done the exact same thing in his situation right?

No one that actually took part in the game seems to care about this at all.

What else are you going to say on national television while eating a massive turkey leg?

Plus, hindsight is 20/20 (probably not the right phrase to use for my point, but oh well)... if they lose, his viewpoint is far different.

The game itself, outside of the call, was a good one. I had no idea what was going on until they showed the replay a few times. I'm more frustrated in missing a possible FG, along with dropping a two point conversion.

As for the hit on Bell, what was he supposed to do, stop in mid air when his helmet comes off? Bell is the real deal though, and will only get better. We split the season series with the Ravens again, see you guys next year.
