[Ravenseconbeast]

Here we go. Cant get any better than this. Steelers and Patriots. What more can we ask for?

[PuRock]

Whats nice is that we did things different on offensive. It wasn't predictable. Every time I thought we'd run, we threw. And every time I thought we'd pass, we ran. Cam also used a lot more routes utilizing the middle of the field (especially on the first drive).

congraulations....i'll be rooting for yui guya....

[ninpiggy]

I am so excited for Saturday!

[catty112]

Most complete game in all aspects today. Offense, Defense, ST. Players Coaches, Mattison and Cam especially.

We're peaking at the right time. Lets keep this train rolling

[MsMarvel73]

I get to go....happy early birthday to me. So excited.

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

I feel a lot better about the offense going into Pittsburgh after today's performance than I did about it coming into today's game.

We can do this, but it will almost certainly be a classic Ravens-Steelers nailbiter with the winner being the team that makes the big play when it counts.

Great show from Flacco today, took what the defense gave him and made it work a beauty.

That's the best part of this game. We don't have to be all negative and listen to the negativity all week long. It wasn't an ugly win.

Great way to start the thread haha. Let's see how good our ravens are now.

[McBoller]

I feel this game will be Epic. I mean greatest game in the last 20 years type of game. Today's victory is exactly what we needed for momentum into next week. Here's hoping for a date with Rex and a home playoff game in two weeks.

I'm still trying to convince my boy to front half of the money. GRR! But my birthday is on the 27th. Would be nice to celebrate on Saturday with other Ravens fans!

Aside of the rather alarming runs from Charles early on, probably the cleanest and most efficient win we've had so far. The best bit about that is that Mendenhall doesn't strike me as the kind of back who could do that to our D.

Lets hope the momentum carries over, and we are sharp next week also.

Yeah I'm glad the Steelers don't have a Charles like player. Mendy can't do crap against us with that O-Line.

When isn't a Steelers/Ravens game epic?

[Jamal]

I can never feel great about playing the Steelers. Especially with Ben and Troy playing.

But I'll take them over a Pats team coming off a bye any day.

[hill]

Way to go RAVENS! Complete all around win. Nice 10 minute drive in the fourth quater to finish the game!!

[Kwothdaraven]

But seemingly like always, the steelers will have the advantages when it matters most. Long rest and homefield while we have a short week and on the road

That is whats great about it being a divisional game. Home field and extra rest can be thrown out the window. It would be different if we were to go into NE. These two teams know each other so much, there is very little that can advantageous.

[ravenswoman]

At least this game gave me an extra week to grow my nails long enough for the upcoming nail biter.
Shoot Reed just made my cry....

Have alil faith, this is the playoffs.

[FerrariFan87]

It's ridiculous that the NFL scheduled us on Saturday, but we've overcome worse, no excuses... let's do this!

your right the only advantage we get is that we got some well needed healing rest

but there is no more we can learn about each other

its going to be a great game....both teams heathy and ready to go

i love these matchups

we throw strength against strength

will vs will

its going to be great

[catty112]

Only thing I am worried about is going into Pittsburgh on a short week. Luckily it seemed like everyone made it out healthy. Its going to be a physical game next sunday hope we can stay healthy because it doesn't get any easier.

[cursona pirate]

im already ready for the next game!

[JO_75]

This game is going to be a slobber knocker. I can't wait... plus let's remember we went into Pittsburgh and won back in October so we can win this game. I had a gut feeling in me all week that the Divisional Round would be Jets/Patriots & Ravens/Steelers and my gut was right. At least we will know who we need to root for by Sunday.

Can't wait... it will be another Ravens/Steelers classic.
