Week 16 – Baltimore Ravens At Pittsburgh Steelers

[theFRANCHISE]

Ah, I see that the Steelers are wearing their vomit-inducing throwbacks.

Why does the team insist on wearing those throwback uniforms, when even the fans hate them??? I don't see Steeler fans rushing out to the stores to buy them...

Meanwhile, we're wearing the "vintage" all-white uniforms from two years ago.

Throwbacks.

Although I would love them to bring back purple jerseys with black pants

Well I guess this is the game we find out about Cousins. My $500 bet says he's going to fail badly for us. Let's hope not.

It's scary out their. Onel Cousins and Carr manning starting positions.

If there was more clarity on what constitutes failing, I'd take that bet! : P

[H8R]

Ok, I just did myself a favor and watched the tried and true "Death on Wings" video! MAn, that gets me pumped!

I feel as if Mike Tomlin will gamble once again this game as he did last game against the Packers, and it'll ultimately backfire this time. That onside kick was stupid and it took luck for them to score with no time left on the clock -- why would you force Ben Roethlisberger in that kind of position, even with his ability? You give Big Ben as much time and cushion as possible if you want him to pull off his heroics -- you don't stack the odds against him if you're Mike Tomlin, because even Superman has his Kryptonite.

That onside kick gamble reeked of arrogance from Tomlin, and I'm PRAYING he makes a similar call and gets egg on his face today. He isn't catching the heat that he should for making that call, only because they won the game in the end. If anything, that call was more ill-advised than Bill Belichick's 4th-down decision against the Colts. I don't care if their kick coverage team is poor, you put your trust in your guys, period. Poor coaching call by Tomlin.

[H8R]

I hope our men know what they have a chance to do today.

1. Stay in the drivers seat for RAVENS playoff destiny
2. Establish a 4 game winning streak, which hasn't been done all year long for Baltimore
3. Knock the Steelers out of the playoffs, keep them in third place and force them to punch those tickets for the Sofa Bowl
4. Prove that Character DOES overcome ADVERSITY
5. Make " Steelers Nation" feel that horrible pain which eats at you for at least 1 month after the Super Bowl until next season, much like we had to deal with all spring/summer long!

I got family in Rochester! But they're all Bills and Giants fans, so they're fine with not seeing the Ravens and Steelers.

[Bullrush]

Here we go.

[Guest maryland1]

RAVENS on TV here in Omaha instead of Chiefs. Won't have to switch back/forth between screens on the PC.

[Man Crush on Flacco]

Go Ravens

[PuRock]

So nervous.

[H8R]

Ok, lets get them of the field fast, shut the crowd up!

[cursona pirate]

make the steelers get the ball first!

[theFRANCHISE]

Instant pressure on Ben, rushing only four guys, all on the line. NICE.

[H8R]

Nice work men, I know they were going pass first. Trying to test the outside! Nice pressure guys!

I notice Suggs was the one that got penetration on that first play -- good stuff, T-Sizzle.

[Chi_Town_Raven]

[PuRock]

Suggs is going to have a career game. He loves playing the Steelers.

[theFRANCHISE]

Completion to Hines Ward, high-and-tight, stopped by two defenders, first down.

Spoke to soon. CBS came back from commercial and switched to Chiefs game. Grrrr!

[H8R]

Suggs need to have a great game today!

[Ravnet]

Slants mean good pressure.
