U have no class dude. U deserve to be slapped by ur momma! Brady is gonna throw all over u kid i cant wait to watch!

[12thMan]

you're right Black Sunday, only Ray Rice fumbled, BUT let me be clear.... CAN CAMERON NEEDS TO GO!!!!! If Harbaugh can't make that decisiion then HE needs to go. I don't know if we stuck a pacifier in each of our players mouth and gave them a teddy bear at halftime or what. But any coach that knows how to win in this league (IN A BIG GAME)knows that when you take a lead on a team like Pittsburgh you need to step your fight even harder. Our team starting with the coaching staff is simply too comfortable. Flacco needs to be instructed to run more like I said yesterday, and the execution you talk about comes from training and harping on this over and over. Just Ray Lewis and Ed Reed fired up is not enough. Things need to change and NOW.NOW. NOW!!!

flacco cant handle pressure, forced so many balls, INT, ran around and loss for 12 yards instead of throwing it away, UNDERTHROWS^^^^ RECIEVERS, doesnt have downfield awareness at all, and i dont blame it all on him, but i will say cam cameron has alot to do with this horrible scheme,

face it ravens fans!!!

steelers have better coaching then the ravens and they showed it in the 2nd half with adjustments

i saisd this before the game, the steelers will win due to 2nd half adjustments!!

I am a Pitt. fan but I think the Ravens have more talent. You are missing it at a couple of key positions. If it is third and goal you better throw it to Heap because he is a winner. Third and goal for the Pitt. they will throw it to Ward. Ward made the big 3rd down catch to keep the drive going. Heap is that kind of player. You don't see Pitt.recievers complaining about not getting the ball..then dropping it.Sorry..your a great team.

Had them on the ropes, just when you think the Ravens are going to take that step, they shoot themselves in the foot.

Absolute shame -- the total reverse of last week's game. I agree with those who posted that it was almost as though we forgot there was a second half. The Steelers came back from half time ready to go, and we didn't. And while you can't place the blame for our fumbles, etc., on the refs I always come away from a Ravens/Steelers game with the strong feeling that someone's bias is showing...and it is not a bias TOWARDS us. And now I will have to put up with my tiresome acquaintances who never watch a game but "just love those Steelers!!" Take heart though -- we have come a long way in the last three years, but just long enough.

[H8R]

It shouldn't really be hard to comprehend, we... AS A TEAM , aren't good enough.

Let's see...

Ray Lewis will retire
Ed Reed will retire
Derrick Mason will retire
Kelly Gregg might retire
Matt Birk might retire

Am I missing any? Even with that list alone, man...I'm not excited for next year. I'd rather have the lockout
[/quote]

You don't have to be excited for next season man. I am. Ray, Ed, Mason and to a lesser extent, Gregg and Birk are big parts of this team no doubt but they aren't the only goop players the Ravens have. A strong draft, some re-signing and FA acquisition or two will help the Ravens stay in Super Bowl contention(assuming there's football played next season).

Dear NFL teams in need of a QB:
How much would you like to offer for the least clutch QB in history Joe Flacco, the receiver who was paid to do nothing for a season T.J. Houshmandzadeh, and terrible o-lineman michael oher? Please give us a 1st round pick to get a quarterback who can win playoff games.
Sincerely
Me

If they let Cam Cameron call the plays next year I predict Hardbaugh will lose his job. I have not seen any worse play calling than what we just witnessed in the third and fourth quarter. a minute plus to go. four downs. you will never see brady throwing the hail marys that they had flacco throw. this team will never go any further with cam the cameron. Boy Watching this year the ravens coming out and playing the first half and then dying in the second half is all the offenceive coordinator not being able to adjust to the defenceive changes that were made.send cam back to miami so he can ruin their season again like he did when he was there before. get rid of the problem Hardbaugh while you can.
[/quote]
How is Harbaugh responsible for the plays called? They did not, "have," Flacco throw the ball, it was his own decision, and a poor one considering it was in double coverage. Ray Rice should've tucked the ball away, because he was nowhere near a 1st down. And Matt Birk either snapped at the wrong time and/or hit his own leg to cause the fumble.

I say change Ed Reed to might retire and Kelly Gregg will retire. Gregg just isn't much of a factor anymore. And SteelOwnsRatbird, go high five the refs, you classless ****. We gave them the game in the second half with the fumbles and interception, but the Refs sealed the deal. That holding call on Marcus Smith was BS. They took 7 off the board with that one when Webb returned it. And then they gave them the Mendenhall TD when they called holding on one of our d-linemen when he was trying to get passed an Offensive Lineman. I hate to be a fairweather fan, but we gave up too many 2nd half leads this year and didn't deserve to go. I can only hope the Pats whoop the Steelers.

[yekleor]

Hey Flacco and Rice I hope the Steelers paid you good money

[Barry S]

It was typical of the entire season, offense choked. My opinion Joe Flacco needs more experience and the defense needs more team speed and a pass rusher to compliment Suggs. Oh well maybe we'll get them next year!!!!!!!

[sinisterone]

What a sorry excuse for a football team Cam has got to go along with Mattison and Harbs! Choking three times and having a 14 point lead that's crazy! Oh and Mr. I'm an elite Quarterback should be on the sidelines next year holding a clipboard watching Bulger or someone else run the Offense! What a horrible implosion! They should really be ashamed that they let their fans down again! Pittsburgh isn't that good, but neither are we I guess?

But I hate the patriots even moooorrrrreeeeeee, and the Jets are equally as bad because they have rex ryannnnnnn aaagghhhhhh this sucks.
[/quote]

True..I'm not big on the Pats either...but I rather see them in the Superbowl than the Steelers.

If the Steelers have to be in the Superbowl,I don't know if I'll watch.

Well all that's left to do now is regroup and start looking towards next season if there is one.

PS...I hate Hines Ward.

WAY TO GO RAVENS I AM VERY PROUD YOU AND THE GREAT SEASON...LIFE GOES ON...GO RAVENS ALL THE WAY ALL THE TIME!!!!!

I like Flacco but his awareness is GOD AWFUL and SLOW!!!! Take a page out of the Aaron Rodgers book and digest the information fast, make a decision and throw the ball

Maybe for the long term the sooner the better.

[Mardela]

The refs absolutely changed the outcome of this game with their terrible officiating. That toughdown that was called back was HUGE! PI on 37 was a terrrible call. Also, CAM NEEDS TO GO!!!! He and he alone is what is holding back our offense. Also, the pick up of Zorn as QB coach was terrible. He took Joe from a up and coming star and deflated him. I will say this...SUGGS HAD A GREAT GAME!!!

My word, Ray Rice had a HORRIBLE game. Possibly the worst of his career. The fumble, and he looked awful in pass protection. Man!

[ravens5476]

Ravens wont when a superbowl anytime soon, ive never seen a team with so many chokers on it...i dont know how people can call joe flacco "joe cool" when he chokes every big game there is, our wide receivers choke. Cam Camerom couldnt coordinate an offense if his life depended on it...its like cam goes brain dead after halftime almost every game. you can also tell flacco is scared of the steelers. im embarrased to be a ravens fan. good game steelers you showed us how a real superbowl contending team plays football.

[darklight1216]

New faces... same old Ravens. Instead of hoping that they will finally figure out how to play offense when it matters, I'm just going to hope that they're lucky enough to face easier opponents next time.

Zorn was a completely useless signing. You would think that someone who is heralded as a good QB coach would lead to improvements in the decision making capability of the quarterback to whom you are entrusted. But sadly...no.

[GregRaven]

Can someone tell me why Marcus Smith is on this team? All he ever does is create penalities on special teams. This time it was HUGE!!!

[jhonnyboy]

the refs were terrible but cam in the second half was worse. i like u harbs but if cam is here next year i hope u r fired.

[ammaj]

Man, it was truly a waste of a year. And although we were up 21-7, I knew we were in for a ride in the second half. Flacco DOES NOT EVER go thru progressions ever. He needs to work on that in the offense. And it seemed like half the passes he thru were comeback routes. C'mon, Cam open the middle of the field! The Ravens DID NOT deserve to win. Lardarius Webb-u going to tell me u let a WR run right past u on the OUTSIDE on 3RD and 19????? Plain and simple, our WRs DID NOT get separation. Draft a WR in the first round, Ozzie please. But what we're not talking about in all our sadness is the monster game Terrell Suggs had. What a player! Cam should go and the defense did sound. They put up points out of our turnovers. Disgraceful...Always choke against Pittsburgh...
