I'll be there too!!! Tailgating in the rain Friends surprised me with a ticket since I missed going to the Saints game.

*squee*

[BmoreKing]

I hate pitt!

[Jamal]

Hopefully Flacco gets some revenge for his career worst 4 INT game. I want to see him run up the score Bill Belichick style.

In all seriousness though, I'm not as confident as others. With our recent history, I can't help but feel scared playing them.

Than again, I don't see the Steelers losing, so it doesn't even matter I guess.

[codizzle]

Play our ball and there's no way we lose.. Point blank

[Steve H]

C'mon man lets do this thing. Lets Go!!!! Time to get tuned up for the playoffs. Margin of error from this point forward is a resounding ZERO!!!!
Lets go baby all the way to the SB.

What time is it?

I'd rather have Gus Johnson with almost anyone else from CBS but Steve Tasker. Tasker and Steve Beurlein are my most-hated CBS color commentators. Former 49ers OL Randy Cross is a close third.

I don't like the loud blowhard-style of commentary that has dominated the color commentary position. Only John Madden can pull it off since he originated it. Even Madden at 60% of his former broadcasting ability is better than 80% of commentators today.

[theFRANCHISE]

As the Baltimore Sun pointed out, Suggs could have a tough outing against the Bengals' Andrew Whitworth today, who has not allowed a single sack against an AFC North opponent in two years as the starting LT. Suggs, however, only needs two more sacks to surpass Peter Boulware as the all-time franchise leader in sacks.

The overall battle in the trenches could ultimately be decided between Suggs and Whitworth; if Whitworth falters, the rest of the Bengals offensive line becomes vulnerable in trying to compensate. Conversely, if Suggs is kept in check, blitzing becomes predictable and could easily be neutralized. The Bengals O-line lives and dies by Whitworth's play.

Well, if Whitworth is giving him problems, move him over the RT on obvious passing downs... seems pretty black and white.

If we can't contain the Bengals' offense minus T.O., Ochocinco AND Gresham, we're in trouble. Overall, I don't see us having any problems today, so long as we get a heavy dose of Rice, Willis and McClain on offense.

[TheRavenouseD2008]

well fellow fans I hope I am allowed to say this after the week I had I hope God gives me some joyouse news via a AFC north divisiion champ spot right now i could use some good news

[touchdownwins]

Let's win this n pack our bags because the Steelers can't afford to lose so they will play the Browns hard..personally,I'd rather play in Jacksonville..it's warmer

[bmorebaby]

number 43 is active for the pitt but he is not 100%...here we go BROWNS!!!

[bmorebaby]

It would be nice to have the home playoff game but i feel ready to take on any team...playoff ravens are unbeatable baby. ALL THE WAY RAVENS!!!!
