Well, let's see here. The chest pounding happens here because its OUR HOUSE, dedicated to OUR TEAM. Do you go to someone's house and tell them they can't walk around with nothing but underwear on? Probably not. So, as YOU are the VISITOR and WE are HOME... which of us have more rights?

Some of you guys give Ravens fans a bad name. Bragging about team Offensive and Defensive rankings after one game? Seriously, grow up.

ummmm first off when the colts won the superbowl their D was ranked 21

so i dont know if you just guessed but that isnt true

second its the first game and we held them to 0 points with troy, 10 without<<<<<[b][/b][b]You're point about Troy is irrelevant becuz it didnt affect what the Titans could or couldnt do. Besides, they did worse to yall last year when Troy played the entire game. [/b]

third you guys played KC we played the titans
so even though you guys put up impressive numbers dont read to much into it just yet<<<<<<<<[b]We did what we were supposed to do against KC[/b]. [b]If we wouldv lost to them,Yall would have Read very much into it. So, dont tell us not to read too much into it after beating them.[/b]
[b]I didnt put words in ya mouth[/b]!

With Troy out..That means some rookie will take over and commit pass interferance rookie mistakes will cost the Steelers some points.
[/quote]
you could make that arguement for any key player such as Ed or Troy bein inactive.

Remember when Reed and McCalister were both out? What happend next? Rookies cost key games back in 2007 Ravens season.

"some rookie?" His back-up (for over 4 years now) has been Ty Carter and he's done a solid job each time. Stop letting your hatred of the team cloud your judgement. It detracts from your posts.

its too early for the rankings to mean much

I'll agree that its too early for the rankings to mean much.

I'd say after week 6 is when the rankings start to mean something. Why? Because that's when the teams start to mean something. Winning teams make their presence known. Same goes for losing teams. Teams that are 4-2 to 2-4 can swing either way. And all the teams will face at least 2 tough opponents (going by last season).

It's awesome to see we are 2nd in total offense and 3rd in total defense (despite allowing 24 points we only allowed 188 total yards, plus we know the circumstances for some of those points), even if it is only after one week and against the rebuilding Chiefs. If we even just somewhat keep this up all season, things are looking good for our team to go a long way.

I don't care whose house I'm in. I'm not taking anyone's crap. And so you understand: We have equal rights here.
[/quote]
While I agree that we all have equal rights here, the fact remains that this is a Ravens forum. We all respect you as a rival fan poster, but we do have our limits. You seem a little harsh on this thread, more so than usual. Just a question, is the Steelers board so boring that you spend so much time here? No disrespect intended

I get the impression that some of you think that because I'm a rival fan, you have some sort of "rank" on me or something. It's not the case. Just because the person I reply to wears purple does not give him more rights than I have. Don't think you're going to push me, and then point your finger when I push back. I show plenty of respect around here. But again, I'm not going to take anyone's crap. We ALL have our limits.

Sometimes that forum gets slow. Sometimes this one does. I visit both. I'm stuck in front of a PC for eight hours per day, I'm not taking any classes at the moment AND FB season just started.

Actually, that's where you're wrong. Ask any mod, the Ravens fan gets the benefit of the doubt if it's an equal battle. Why? Look at the address bar. This is not a democracy...

I highly doubt that applies to established posters who are fans of other teams that don't troll/flame every time they visit.

Hey, STEELER PUPPET !!! Or whatever your name is.
TITANS were killing your Squeelers all game, you just got lucky at the end, because they missed the field goal. Titans were moving the ball with or without Polamalu, yes, he made some plays, but he also had many 15 yard penalties. It's his problem, that he can't tackle the guy without holding his facemask!!!
It's still early in the season, I agree on that, but I can already see BIG HOLES
in that STEEL SHOWER CURTAIN, and the HOLES ARE GETTING BIGGER.
And Remember, in only takes one hit from the RAVENS to knock BIG BEN OUT !!!

you cant teach an old dog a new trick(granted, the tricks that it has are great in thier own right). Ben is Ben, and we saw what makes Ben Ben in lastweeks game(hes gotta be creepin up on Elway for 4th quarter come from behind wins). The Ravens are a new dog and were just scratching the surface of what tricks we got up our sleave(2nd behind NO in total O with 500yds, a 300 yd passer and 100 yd rusher, 3 passing tds 2 rushing, 43 passing att, who woulda thought!). you dont know what were gonna do, hell, we dont know what cam cam is cookin in his lab. I think the unknown is way more frightening than the same ol' same ol', dont yens agree?

Bingo! Give the man a prize.

Please remember that this is a "no smack" forum and temper your comments accordingly. Ravens fans are no more entitled to start smack wars than fans of other teams.

guys listen this time

you misunderstood my post.......thats ok it happens

but i already explained what i ment in post number 24

now i know you read it because you responded to it

what i was saying Mr. Killer was that with or without troy they didnt score alot of points

not that troy being hurt was the reason for the yards they got....i never said that

the reason they got yards is because they are the titans and like it or not they are a pretty good team

now if you respond to this post by telling me what im actually saying i give up trying to set you straight

There are a lot of "newer" posters to the boards (I myself am fairly new) who seem to think its standard to jump on the neck of any Steelers fan who posts on these boards. This isn't the case. I myself enjoy WARDEN's/PROPHET's and a few others presence on here. They are not here to troll/flame Ravens fans, but would rather converse intelligently about the 2 teams as they are, lets face it, the best rivalry game in sports today - I don't care what anyone says.
There are always going to be a few Ravens fans who no matter what do not like the fact that there are Steelers fans posting in what they perceive to be "our" house. I'm a lot bit more grown up than that and as I said, enjoy getting their perspective and ideas on the subject.

I will say though, often times Steelers fans on Ravens boards (not necessarily this one) sole purpose does seem to tear down what us Ravens fans say about a particular player or game and compare it to a Steelers player or game. It can get out of hand, just as this thread has.

But these guys are good fellas.
