Like i said ATTACK
Super TD. Where is Decker today?
i think decker .. woodyard.. and mike adams are all hurt.
They are covering Decker fairly well but I think they will focus on Thomas now and Deck will get some looks
I just saw decker on the field in the replay…so he is in there, just covered
Crazy the Steelers scored the same time we scored. Ravens and Steelers all tied up.
VON!!!!!!
Just saw the Moreno sitting catch on the nfl webpage.
O BABY!!! what hit on Freeman by who? unrein or Bannan?
Millerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
VON the DON!!!
Did he dance?? Since I can’t see it
SWEET!!!
BOOM HEADSHOT!!! hahahahaaha.. von for the def mvp!!!
way to go von miller!! can wait to get his jersey..
Unrein!!! way to make a play!! VON you owe him one for that gift!!!
What more do we need to see from Von?
Unrein is having a great game.
*can’t
I got the black one Aroe!!! Love it
BT im deciding between the black one and the orange one but im leaning towards the orange one! haha
its time to get some INTs!
Holliday is EXCITING!!!
you can’t go wrong really Aroe! gotta sport the #58!!!
Elway for exec of the year should be a shoo in.
bad pass…
i have the orange one aroe….i love it!!! I had a black Royal one until he got traded.
LOL the radio broadcaster says” Look at how fast Holiday” Next statement ” Holiday caught and tackled from behind”
all three phases clicking … i rmemeber when he came out of college … really wanted him. dynamic returner in college. fastest at combine that yr too i believe … darn INT
Dang it!
No worries… Sack Dance time!!!
Lets go get em D!!
what was that?!?! triple coverage?
Hes allowed a bad one sometimes The pass rush is coming now
i miss royal.. i remember he had a great rookie season.
aww man.. almost 4 picks for chris harris.. this dude is awesome!
Just think how good our DB’s will be once Porter gets back
Woodyard questionable to return
We don’t need him.. get well soon dude.. we got this. haha. Porter may be the dime back when he returns
love it when i get to see the D pin their ears back and go after the QB..
Just rest Woodyard DJ knows how to play LB pretty good
I have been lining up the playoffs… and it’s kind of scary. First game if we don’t beat Baltimore is gonna be the colts. And I dont’ like that. Much rather get the bengals.
Come on PIT…beat those Raven’s.
oh.. GO STEELERS!! they can help us out today big time.
I’d personally rather take the Colts. The bengals are a really physical team.
but we beat them already. Luck is a wildcard.. we can sack the crap out of the bengals.
All we have to do is win out to get the 3 seed! that means beat BAL heads up and nothing else matters!!! Hope PIT helps out, but not necessary if we beat them
