I love this matchup. This is what football was supposed to be about before Rodger and Co. ruined the NFL with all these pass happy, protect the QB rules. Reminiscent of Ray Lewis vs. Eddie George.

What a beautiful family! You will fight through this Mike! Nothing can stop you!

I have been watching more and more of Tavon Young's college highlights. On think you notice beyond his competitive nature of never backing down is the fact that he covers both the CB and the QB. He uses his eyes and plays the ball. He should be coaching up our DBs lol!

Dear Media. I hate power rankings as they are meaningless buzz. I love Tavon Young.

Wright better take a back seat to Young. We need the best 11 on the field.

Saying the offense was better because they didn't abandon the run makes no sense. The offense was just as bad if not worse than when we were throwing it 40+ times. Running did not keep Roethlisberger off the field. Our defense did. When your defense gets as many 3 and outs as they did, you should have the ball a lot more than 4 mins longer than your opponent. Playing conservative like that is not going to get us anywhere. Our defense was good, but we were helped out by the fact that Roethlisberger was terrible. If we are going to get back to winning consistently, the offense is going to have to open it up a little more and put some points on the board, and the o-line has to improve.

False, We limited our Turnovers and ran clock. 

Tavon Young shutting down Antiono Brown, Alex Lewis top PFF grade, Chris Moore scoop and score, Kenneth Dixon fighting for yards with no blocking and Matt Judon sack. What a 4th and 5th Round of the Draft!

Our Rookie 4th Round Pick Tavon Young was locking up Antonio Brown until the 4th Quarter prevent began. I can't say enough good things about Tavon Young. That open-field tackling on much bigger RB's TEs and fast WRs was insane! #WeFoundOurStarter!

The defense was awesome today! How does Harbaugh not use 1 timeout in the 4th quarter when our defense was on the field for 34 snaps. Our D-Line was gassed out and couldn't get a rush. Our offense had two 3&Outs, and we had one punt block. That was insane management by Harbaugh and almost gave the Steelers the game. Young was so impressive. He is going to be special.

Our offense needs to become run first. Protect the football, protect Joe like he is a rookie again. Flacco forces the ball to Pitta way too often, and that interception while in field goal range was an embarrassing decision.

Oh yeah...Tucker is AMAZING!!!

It's pointless to ask Harbaugh about injuries. Just ask the players themselves.

I think Flacco needed this bye as much as the rest of our injured players. Everyone is so quick to attack Flacco. Playing QB in the NFL is tough. Playing QB in the NFL when your O-Line can't block and you throw 40 times is even more difficult. I think Harbaugh made the mistake of rushing Flacco back. He is obviously is tough enough to stand in there and take hits, but Mallet should have started the season off until Flacco felt close to 100% or our O-Line could prove that they can pass block on a consistent basis. Look how the Steelers rest Ben through his injuries. We need to use Mallet when necessary. *This falls on Harbaugh. 

We should take notes from New England and trade him for a high pick, if we already know we can't afford him.

#1 Flacco's footwork wow c'mon are we talking about a rookie or what? He's a 9 year vet who's killing us with dumb plays game after game regressing on a weekly basis. There is motivation, no confidence, no passion it's like if Joe just sleepwalks. The idea about not being able to bench him is ridiculous. If Harbaugh had any good sense left in him he'd bench Flacco for Mallet in an attempt to save his locker room. I guess 120 million made Flacco LAZY! Go Ravens!!!!!!

Flacco is playing with a injured/crappy O-Line that can't protect. He is also coming off an ACL injury and playing through a Shoulder Injury and Missing his #1 WR. Your comment shows lack of knowledge of the current situation. Flacco is the guy. As a team we need to commit to the run for 4 quarters, and use play action to our benefit. Dixon could provide the splash plays that keep drives alive. FLACO SOULD NOT THROW THE BALL 40 TIMES!

Just an aside, the symmetry between us and the Jaguars is uncanny. They look so unprepared on the game days, their QB wears number , and they just oferred up their OC as a scapegoat for their ineptitude. Does anyone believe that the firing of their OC is gonna turn their team around?

Look at our O-Line... Reassess this team after the next two games against the Steelers, and Browns on a short week. Dixon is coming...: )

We don't need to be informed on who we want to lose. We want the Bengals, Steelers, Pats, Broncos, and Colts to lose EVERY week!

Wait a minute...Alex Lewis played at Nebraska, not Colorado!

The O-Line has been our biggest weakness, along with too much PT for Perriman, too much shuffling at WR, and inaccurate throws by Flacco.

"Know what's crazy?

The Ravens are averaging more offensive yards per game than the Broncos, Eagles and Vikings."

Yes that is crazy, but not surprising. It's clear every game the Ravens move the ball down the field...their real problem has been scoring in the end zone.

USE THE TEs!!!

"Here's an example of Flacco and Perriman still needing to get on the same page." That's also show how bad the offensive line is. Joe been getting beat up all day and look at the guy running straight towards him untouched. Seriously, what would you do? This Oline is GARBAGE.

The O-Line is the root of the problem. The Jets front is definitely one of the best in the NFL and helped expose this. Keep in mind Stanley and Yanda were both out against the Jets.

From a WVU alumni, who went to school with Geno: Good Luck! ; )

Hope they bench him for Mallet and see if the chemistry is any better. Still time to trade Flacco for Joe Thomas or another veteran center/Olineman and get some value before they all figure out he is garbage.

Stop it. Please. You're exposing yourself.

You're afraid the Ravens will play better and smoother! Joe is our Tony Romo I'm sorry to say it but look at them cowboys now! You are afraid the Ravens will bounce back the same way!

That's a foolish thing to say.

Suggs will sit this week. Take the Week 8 Bye and reevaluate. Hopefully he's back to get after Landry Jones and the Squeelers Week 9.

I am noticing a trend league wide where officiating intentionally keeps games close when blowout potential is approaching. Obviously the Browns are not going to hang with the Patriots, but I have noticed what seems to be an effort to keep home teams in the game (more concession sales, tax revenue, higher TV ratings, and higher advertising revenue result). Also their is an uncanny way that teams can not pull away in their division either. *Keep the race going on until the end. Even teams that you clearly expect to dominate, can't get easy wins to take a 2 or 3 game lead in the division? Shady.

Keep an eye out for more shadyness.

"When a head coach decides to go for it on fourth down and the team converts, it was a “gutsy” call. When a head coach decides to go for it on fourth down and the attempt fails, it was a bad decision."

I know right. I'm glad he went for it. No play is guaranteed in NFL, you just try things and hope for the best. But you try with the right logic not carelessly...I don't feel it was a careless call. Thus I have no real issues with it...just wish it had worked.

4th and 9 Fake FG in the Super Bowl is not careless enough for you? Having Tucker line up as a lefty and throw a pass in swirling winds not characterized as careless?

The main reason why you go for the points is because there was a ton of time on the clock and aside from 1 big catch the D was doing a great job and creating turnovers. In the scenario that we would have gone for the FG that would have made the game 16-17. If in the following drive the Giants score a TD and go up 16-24 it is still a 1 possession game.

Can you win a game in the 4th Qrt with 14 plus minutes left on the clock? NO!

Can you win a game in the 4th Qrt with 0 minutes left on the clock? YES!

WTG Harbs!

Even if we gave up a TD, we would have been down 8 points after the FG, and only needed a TD and 2pt conversion to tie.

The FG ensured a 1 score game regardless of the Giants drive. Live and learn Harbaugh.

Mornhinweg made some changes but clearly this is a multi-week thing to deal with. Glad they didn't just stop running the ball when West made his first TD of the day.

The penalties for the Giants should've meant they gift-wrapped us the game, but we didn't close to deal on them.

The entire 2nd Quarter was littered with penalties that prevented our offense from moving the ball at all and truly opening a big lead. I was looking for the calls on my DVR and more than half were completely bogus, including the "Block in the Back on a long snapper" The long snapper does not block on punts, he runs down field. The officiating was a disaster all around, but the calls finally went our way in the 4th.

There were 2 blatant PI's that were missed, Several bogus holding penalties. A personal Foul on Laurence Guy for striking the long snapper in the head, when he did what he does on every FG. Penetrate and jump up to block. The outsider looking in will say the Ravens were fortunate. Break down every play and you realize this was going on the whole game. Odell also got away with an obvious offensive PI when he used his entire arm to throw back the DB on a deep ball right before the ball arrived. I can't remember who the corner was.
