Big play coming up!

ReacherCreature · 11-09-2009 4:16am

Ben calls a time-out so Reed kicks a 32 yarder to tie it up at 10-10.

Max Power1 · 11-09-2009 4:24am

Next play - excellent pass by ben to Mike Wallace and a great catch by the rookie to set up a FG attempt from 33 yards

Reed converts - steelers win 13-10

ReacherCreature · 11-09-2009 4:49am

Reed in perfect position for a field goal, 33 yard attempt.

Great drive by Roethlisberger, terrific catch by Mike Wallace.

EDIT: He makes it! Steelers win! 13-10!

Like Michaels said; defense and Roethlisberger wins it.

Good solid game.

I'm off to bed!

Good season opener. Polamalu was awesome to watch in the first quarter and that INT he made was incredible. Unfortunate he'll be out for 3-6 weeks guess that Madden curse struck again...

Both Defenses were excellent and even though the Titans lost going by that performance they'll still probably be thereabouts in the AFC South. Kinda unfortunate that they had to lose but their Kicker missed what looked like two automatic FG's so they only have themselves to blame.

Great to see the NFL back:)

Last until half time, figured the scoring might be low enough given the two TDs coming late int he second. The late games are a tough slog, switched to Field Pass radio but passed out at some stage over half time.

Troy's pick was awesome, nothing else for it, pity to see him go but at least it's the MCL and not his ACL, kiss goodbye to the Steelers safety if it was. You could see the impact of his loss as soon as he left the field and while I thought the game would go Steelers' way anyway, the Titans should have done a whole lot better with their kicking.

Odds on Larry Fitz picking up a knock in his first game?

WTF is with all the spoilers? Surely if people were going to watch the match later they'd stay away from the week one thread?

Disagree, this spoiler-fest is hard to understand. Seriously, if you don't want to know how the game goes then don't look at the AF forum until you've watched it.

In all fairness, I didn't want to ruin it for anyone.

Maybe a fan wanted to check in here to get pre-game opinions, line-up changes, last minute news or something?

The highlights were on the next day so spoiler was a safe option.

Anyways, I've never really talked on this through a game, I'll speak without spoilers the next time.

soundsham · 13-09-2009 6:08pm

spoilers are mental here
exactly why log in to check or comment on something you havent seen unless you want the update or result

Royal Seahawk · 13-09-2009 6:32pm

Don't know whether to start Cooley(Was) Boss(Nyg) or Carlson(Sea) in the tight end position in my fantasy team for the 9:00pm games.

Any ideas? I'm equally torn between all 3!

Max Power1 · 13-09-2009 6:40pm

Touchdown AP versus the browns!

10-3

Also the Saints are hammering the lions 14-3, lions in redzone atm

Sea Devils · 13-09-2009 6:45pm

Touchdown Falcons!. Some catch by Gonzalez to keep the drive going when it looked like a pick at first.

Drogman · 13-09-2009 6:57pm

Anyone having trouble trying to access the gamepass site? Always timing out on me when I try to login.

Max Power1 · 13-09-2009 7:00pm

CLE touchdown edwards, but its being challenged as he went out of bounds before making the catch - imo he went out and it wont stand

Lands Leaving · 13-09-2009 7:00pm

Yep, bloody thing signed me out and won't let me back on. Not amused. :mad::mad::mad:

Hynzie · 13-09-2009 7:01pm

yeah it was acting up for me too! its back now so hopefully its sorted

Lands Leaving · 13-09-2009 7:03pm

Still f'ed for me.

Max Power1 · 13-09-2009 7:04pm

min challenge successful, saved them 4 points in the end as CLE have to settle for an FG

mikemac · 13-09-2009 7:06pm

Sea Devils · 13-09-2009 7:13pm
