Hello Ravens Fans,

As a steeler fan I am not going to wish you good luck, but I do hope for a great game with no injuries to either team.

Tell that to Troy, Ward and Harrison.....

I am worried about injuries with all the HATE talk going on. Hopefully both teams will play smart, and the Ravens smarter.

LOL it shouldn't be a surprise. These two teams are so evenly matched I can hope for a steelers win, just as you could hope for a Ravens win, but truth be told it is probably going to come down to whoever has the ball last.

The Ravens win by at least a TD, why? The Ravens IMO played their best game of the season last week vs. the Chiefs, because they had their foot on the pedal from start to finish and did very well on all three facets OFF, DEF, SPECIAL.

Today Joe is given room to open it up FINALLY. The Ravens play into the Steelers hands when they play conservative and not to make mistakes, doesn't bode well because Ben is not the best QB in the NFL, but IMO he is the best closer.

The Steelers don't have the offensive weapons the Ravens have. You know how good the Ravens are at stopping the run, Ward is strictly a blocker now, Wallace's deep catches is the biggest threat to our defense.

Also the Ravens have Heap this time, unlike last game, and Troy P is banged up.

Just a fantastic win today and the first to rest for next weekend.

I know the Ravens will play smart, if the Steelers try to throw a punch or something, we know they (hopefully) won't hit back, because we all saw what happened with Todd Heap last week. Go Ravens!!!!!!

Let's hope so. The intensity, and emotions I think will be much higher today.
Go Ravens!!!!!

Looks like a few Steelers players leaked information about a trick play they have ready for us.

[quote]Bob Holtzman of ESPN reports that the Steelers will employ against the Ravens a trick play.

“Two Steelers have told me, if they catch the Ravens in the right defense, they have a trick play ready to go today that they’ve never run before.”

[b]Holtzman said the play involves a pass thrown by someone who ordinarily doesn’t thrown the ball, and that receiver Antwaan Randle El will be involved in some way other than throwing the ball.[/b][/quote]

A Trick Play they have never run before? Should be interesting but if they want to lose because of using some trick play and not sticking to the normal plays, I'm fine by that. Trick plays/Gimmick plays usually don't work so I'm not sure if Pittsburgh thinks they will one up us by doing that.

Wow...
1. Way to go, Steelers...leaking a trick play for us to know about!
2. They've never run it before? Good luck with that!
3. Somebody said it could be a trick so that we'll be less aggressive...I doubt we'll be less aggressive!

Franny is ready to lay the smackdown to stop the board hitting rock bottom.

I couldn't find a way to work in People's Elbow.

It's time for us to break this Steeler-skid we're on. Ray and Ed need their rings (Ray's second) this year, so they can ride off into the sunset after a fairy-tale ending to their careers.

I hate how I have to go out and celebrate a friend's 18th and watch this game on delay. If anyone, anywhere, mentions it I will murder them.

Yikes! I mean it IS a playoff game. Perhaps you might wear a sign saying "Do NOT tell me the outcome of the playoff games!" lol

Any time something is leaked by an opposing team, I take it with a grain of salt. Teams leak things on purpose to throw off the other team.

Like when some news source leaked that Brady had 3 broken ribs last year. It won't change what we do.

Why do I bother with these threads no one responds to my great posts.

The fact that they played the chiefs nullify's your entire post. Using that logic I could clearly state that what the Steelers did to Carolina and the Browns makes them the clear winner.
