Okay, we have gone back and forth on whether offense or the defense is to blame. The ball is in the defense's court now.

Joe has played well enough to win this game. 

These receivers need to catch the ball.

Also, wheres the helmet-to-helmet penalty?

Well I complained about them running on every first down, but now they're just having incompletions on first down instead.

It's not the D's fault. Either Antonio or Bell was going to break out. They held this high power offense to minimal points and gave the Ravens 2 turnovers. It's on the O atm. 

They held to minimal points until crunch time.

No turnovers ,no penalties, please.

Sadly a two score lead going into the 4th wasn't enough 

You make a good point and I tend to agree that the defense is at fault (100 yard rushers in 3 straight games), but the offense couldn't even get 3 points out of two 40 yard starting positions. They should do a little better than that.

Its not as easy as you explain. Playing with this offense has to be really deflating. This is a team game offense feeds from defense and defense feeds from offense. Our offenses gets constantly put in great positions and folds.

The defense is well on their way to allowing 30 points or more in three straight games. The offense has scored over twenty in all three games. The O is not great by any means, but the defense has allowed 100 rushing yard in three straight games. That is their fault.

The offense has to score a touchdown after this. No more messing around.

The Ravens run defense should be ashamed of the last three weeks. They are not playing like a playoff caliber run defense.

I know the offense has neglected to get in the endzone, but this is pathetic.

aiken has gone backwards and has cost this team a game at least this season with inopportune drops in the 4th quarter - i really hope thats not another one

Aiken has just returned to form, I think. Throughout his career he's never been anything special; he had one aberrational year much like Forsett.

Real cute that the announcers said that Ben put up two finger to the ref, bargaining with the ref that the Steelers weren't getting any OPI's today, and suddenly the Steelers get one...but it was OPI on that one.  Cute that Ben is lobbying the refs for calls though, not!

Quick who is the Ravens best salesman? Joe doesn't have the emotion and SSS has perhaps too much.

That was deflected and high, but when the ball touches both hands I feel like the receiver should catch it.

So they have to run on every single first down now?

Where are those dump-offs when you need them...

Bills had the same against the Steelers. They had like 3 interceptions and still loss. 

Oh Dean Pees, your 4th quarter defense is so bad. Do you want to stay in Baltimore next season, well you better tighten up your defense in the fourth quarter.

Well the Bills are pretty terrible. I mean they even lost to Baltmore.

Lol, I kid.

Actually, I think Baltimore had three interceptions against one of the New York teams and lost.

welp, there's the momentum swing. How many ints have the Ravens had today? 3? And the game is this close? Need to make those TDs. 

Two interceptions, but they definitely had the Steelers on the hook.

Ugh, Williams. We were so proud of you before, but you may have let the season slip through your fingers.

Special teams and offense, please don't turn the ball over.

That was so bad, Tavon Young. He might not have even made that catch, but they will ALWAYS make that call.

Their tight end can catch a ball why can't ours

Pitta has more receptions than almost any TE in the league.

Bens immine to criticism, I bring it up all the time 

Winning two SB gives you a little leeway I guess.

But then again, no one has trouble criticizing Eli...

You make a good point. I see Steeler fans rip Tomlin and the various OCs, but almost never Ben.

I don't like that call, but what is a catch these days anyway?

Poor Flacco has had two sure tds taken away and possibly a third. No one should criticize him for this game no matter the outcome, he has played well enough to win.

Everybody wants to slam Flacco but he's about to get the Ravens to 7-1 against the Steelers in last 8 games.  Sorry Ben fans, I'll take Joe.

One of Eisenberg's articles said that Baltimore has won 9 of the last 12 against Pitt. Even if they lose this game its still a good record.

Why not take a shot down the field.

That  would be so predictable; they wanted to be cute.

who in the hell was gonna be fooled by SSS in the backfield?

He can block, that's about all that he could effectively do in that situation.
