Sweed fell on his embarassment after dropping that pass and hurt himself. :biggrin:

Doubled his error of the dropped pass, by costing the Steelers a timout from failure to get up. That TO would have stopped the clock at under 10 seconds to kick a FG right before the half.
The seven points would have been huge, but the loss of the three points was even costlier.

Yep, Sweed cost them twice.

Then again, they shouldn't even have had the ball. The roughing the kicker penalty was worthy of an academy award. At best, it was a five yarder.

Thats why we gotta get ride of roughing the kicker calls, I don't want an NFL with a bunch of european floppers. Those hands to the head calls like called agints thad in the fiesta bowl gotta go too.

Hand out unsportsmanlike penalties for obvious flops. I'm not sure if that counts as one you'd flag, but there are plenty that would fall under this jurisdiction.

JMO but I don't think the Ravens can win this with Flacco. I don't know if they can with Troy either though but his running could open some doors.

They can win with Flacco I'm just not convinced they will. He's had a number of plays with more than enough time and simply failed to convert.

The way this is going, they may need 1 drive to win, with about 25 yards from their quarterback. Troy might be better able to pick that up on the ground than Flacco's shaky passing.
