Butler with the late spear. He should play for the Bengals.

Every damn time BB proves he is the superior coach....

i hope this game gets Harbaugh fired at the end of the year....

and hopefully they bench Hester as well.... 

Actually, John Harbaugh is one of the only NFL coaches with success against Bellicheck and the Patriots.

Let's jump the centre also here!!!

Save it for a Field Goal attempt. 

Fair enough, but the head to head is all that really matters. Steelers win that and all the advantages go away. 

Ajayi has really fallen off the last couple weeks. Maybe he is wearing out already. If their running game dries up, Tannehill is still Tannehill and thats not saying much.

I think Dalton has been a product of being around such talented players.  He looked great last year, but that's when everything was going right.  Joe needs talent around him as well, but he shows up when it matters.  I predicted they would go 8-8 this year, definitely didn't think they would look this horrible.

Doesn't appear they ever recovered from their playoff implosion against the Steelers. 

It would be better if we were battling each other for the division AND a first round bye. However, Steelers and Ravens tied, Five games to go, another head to head remaining....doesn't get much better than this for the AFCN.

3-2 is not a bad record in the NFL. But that is looking at it face value. When you dwelve deeper, the Ravens have 11 games left. They have 3 games of "they should be able to win" in the Browns, Dolphins and Jets. 

Honestly, the other 8 of them, there honestly a toss up. And with the way this offense is right now, a majority of them are probably in the other teams favor, at the moment. 

They have the Giants, Steelers X2, Bengals X2, Cowboys, Patriots and the Eagles. 

So let's say they win the 3 softer games. That gets them to 6-2. Go out on a limb and say that 10 wins gets us to the playoffs. That means they have to go 4-4 in those 8 games. That isn't too tall of a task, but with the way the offense is playing, I don't see it happening.

Like I said earlier, 3-2 isn't bad but when you have a murderers row to finish off the season, the Ravens FO and fans would feel a lot more comfortable 5-0/4-1.

I understand your points...I guess division games (excluding the Browns) are always, "Throw out the record," as last year proved. Can the Cowboys and Eagles sustain a high level of play, especially at QB? Five games in the Ravens are in the thick of it. It's amazing how close you guys came to being 5-0.

1. Dak Prescott - No way

2. Derek Carr - Maybe

3. Josh McClown - Seriously? 

4.Carson Wentz - not a chance 

5.The Big Ben - Or course, but I'm a Steeler fan

Honorable Mention: Jim Harbaugh

 

Joe will always have a place in my heart but to be real...the guy never improves.

Do you guys look around at the league at Quarterback play? Joe may not be great, but he has accomplished a heck of a lot more than most QBs who started for NFL teams today. 

Before the season started, if someone told you the Ravens would be 3-2 after five games...would you have taken it?

So did a jv football team steal the Chiefs uniforms  and take the field they can't do anything right. 

Ya, the same aliens that stole the Steeler uniforms last week. 

I would like to see Harbaugh give Tomlin a, "this is how you beat the Patriots" talk so we can go through them to the Super Bowl. 

You mean Cheaters get what they deserve.  I was thinking a broken leg, but the Denver rush didn't take any cheaper shots.

Denver rush was freaking awesome is what it was. 

Not often we're on the same page, guys. Just though I would stop in and join you in saying, goodbye Patriots, goodbye Brady. 

not sure if I wanna spend time looking that up or not but they did well all things considered

You were the first team ever to lose your leading rusher and leading receiver?

 

Ummmmm, we're props gonna disagree with you there.

Going by what they said pre-game. First play off team to be in that situation. 

We'll disagree sometimes but it's good to have an opposing voice.

 

For the record, I would've rooted for the Steelers against the Pats, painful as it would've been.

I understand. Root against the Pats when they play you. 

should be proud compared to my ravens team who would've gotten slaughtered by any team in the playoffs, hopefully you guys still keep tomlin

Thanks...classy. I hate this time of year....

Pit has now lost to Tim tebow and old man crappy Peyton in the playoffs.

Overrated much?

No, were not over rated. We went on the road against the number one team as the first team every to lose both their leading rusher and leading receiver. Those losses showed up. Proud of my guys. 

Well Ravens fans. See you next season. And I know what you will all say but...not many penalties, no dust-ups, no dirty crap....the issue with the bengals is not us..its them. Lets put them back in 3rd where they belong. 

Yeah, Manning is in his retirement year.

 

Steelers look to be in AFC Final.  Gonna get blown out though.

That's what everyone said about this week. 

I don't see any AFC team beating the Panthers.

Carolina is very good, but lets be realistic, this game is an anomaly. 

Even Richard Sherman won't be able to loud-mouth his way out of this loss.

Richard Sherman speaks above most fans pay grade. He is no simple loud-mouth. 

Decided to look up the Patriots playoff record against us and other AFC Teams since 2009. When playing other AFC Teams in the playoffs, they are 5-2, with other losses coming from the Jets in 2009 & Denver in the AFC Title Game in 2013. When they play us, it's a bit different. They are 2-2 against us in the playoffs, only batting .500 when playing the Ravens. Also the points per game allowed by other AFC Teams is insane.

 

 

Patriots vs Rest of AFC

 

Patriots Scoring Average vs Other AFC Teams: 34 Points Per Game

 

Patriots vs AFC Teams Record: 5-2

 

 

Patriots vs Ravens in Playoffs:

 

Patriots vs Ravens Playoff Record: 2-2

 

Patriots Scoring Average vs Ravens: 21.25 Points Per Game

Have to agree. Ravens are about the only team that doesn't just lay down for these guys. 

And the records been, what, 8-3 us since Harbaugh took over?

The Ravens are 8-3 in the last 11 games, including 3 in a row and 4 of the last 5. However, that stretch is what allowed Harbaugh gain a winning record. He is now 10-9 against the Steelers in his tenure. He and the Ravens definitely have had the upper hand over the last several years with a more recent Super Bowl.
