Haha easy I don't want us to sink to that level. God those boards are full of buffoons. No wonder Warden and others hang out here. That place is awful.

It is. I don't know where they come up with scores like 28-10 or 21-10, when what, 5 of the last 6 games have been settled by 3 points? I expect no less for this week.

That's one thing. I can deal with homers, but the way they're talking about Ed and his brother is really classless.

It'll come back to bite em. They seem to ignore the fact that a life could be lost, but only think about the event when he went missing. Nothing more classless than what seems to be gloating about a player's brother's death. It adds more heat between fans for this game, for sure.

It will come to the 4th quarter as always, but this time the Ravens are actually finishing off games well. That makes all the difference in the world.
[/quote]
that should be the biggest factor. number two would be less conservative play calling, hopefully.

Thanks for being cool ... you boys are a good offseason away from making a deeper run next year (god willing there is a next year)

[Romo Ravens]

This is what I've been wanting since the Bengals game ended. I hate the Steelers so much, and nothing would feel better than to win on their field. Hopefully we get the Patriots the following week

over the past 17 games it has been about as close as it gets

thats why its the best rivalry

I hope Cowher picks against us this week. I believe he picked NO, Hou, and today KC in the last 3 shows where we were involved in picks. He doesn't realize it, but he's helping us.
[/quote]

I'll bet my house that Cowher picks the Steelers... after today's win he couldn't muster anything good to say about the Ravens, it was all about what KC needs to do to improve. His bias is not surprising, but at the same time, pretty absurd.

Nah, Cowher does show us a lot of love. He's always the first to defend us, and even when he's talking about our flaws, he is diplomatic about it. He may not like us, but he respects us.

It's ridiculous. Does anyone besides Shannon or Boomer like us at all? Even most of the commentators are Raven haters.

I understand where you are coming from, and I generally root for the AFC in the S.B. UNLESS the Steelers are playing... similar to when the Yankees and Duke play for Championships. I just can't do it, I would feel too dirty.

Just checked their forums. They think we were the ones who committed five turnovers. Did they even see that game?

[FerrariFan87]

I saw a ridiculous stat about Pitt's most dynamic threat, Mike Wallace: 10 TD's at an average of 40.7 yards/TD... that scares me, but we've been pretty good at holding him in check.

We have the speed, we just can't get duped by a double move. Make Ben feel the pressure and take the deep ball out of the game.

Ah ha, you left that small detail out of your previous posts! Hahaha

[Rav'n Maniac]

Just a few things to chew over as we enter the divisional round. Material furnished by: Frank Tadych (NFL Network)

"The Ravens improved to 7-3 all-time on the road in the playoffs, the best postseason road winning percentage ever (.700)"

"The Ravens have allowed 10 points or fewer in 8 of 14 playoff games all-time, and have the lowest points-per-game allowed in postseason history (12.2)"

"Joe Flacco improved to 4-2 career in the playoffs and became the first starting QB in NFL history to win a playoff game in each of his first three seasons."

Sizzle loves sacking Ben, and our pressure overall was really ramped up today. It's going to be quite the fight... it's time to get that monkey off our back too.

Usually I have really bad gut feelings when we play the Steelers. But I must say, I feel pretty good about the game coming up. I think we can take advantage and finally move past the Steelers in the Playoffs.

If we beat the Steelers but lose to the Pats. I'd be content.
