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!!!

First of all I would like to apologize for the post made by a totally classless Person. I don't even want to call them a Steeler fan. That was totally uncalled for and I hope you don't judge all of us by the actions of a few.
The Ravens came out to win that game in the 1st half and I will admit by half time I was ready to quit watching!!!!
If we had lost we would be firing our OC as well... Nobody can stand Bruce either. You had a great season and I'm sure next year will bring more of the same. I have enjoyed all of you and your forum. You are gracious hosts and I don't blame you if you root for Marsha Brady and her bunch...I don't know what I would do..
Thanks again for letting me be a part of your board...Ours trash talks too much and I don't care for that.

Finally ateelers fan with class....thanks

The amount of stupid on this board right now is hilarious!!

[irave89]

The one thing I can laugh at about this game is the Cory Redding Touchdown.

Cory Redding acting stealth...then Josh Wilson and Ed Reed come in and start pushing him along like "Go Go Go..".

Lol Probably one of the best things I saw during the game.

Especially since no one else seemed to realize it.

[redlobster]

What a way to blow a 12-4 season and a ton of talent. Offense underperformed all year. Watching Brady in NE and Rodgers in GB makes me envious of their offenses, not that I will ever stop cheering for the Ravens.

I honestly don't think there's anything you could say to this. What in the hell Suggs have you been watching? Good lord this place is unbearable right now.

Are you kidding me???When Suggs signed that huge contract he hasnt done crap until tonight. He has been nothing but average. Tonight he earned his money

[Tigger19775755]

lets see boldin was open on a 3rd down in the game and flacco throws it to heap who was well covered! i saw that on my tv!! why cant flacco see that in the game when hes played this most his life? he does this often too! im not gonna say that flacco sukks but im not sure hes the answer to qb neither. idk wut to think of him yet, cuz he can play so great at times, and then completely shut down and not b able to move the ball, read defenses, etc. when a game really counts most of the time but not all of the time he doesnt deliver. yes his stats get better every yr but when will the playoffs wins come to advance us to the sb. i would hope in the next yr or two that we will know for sure. tj u[i] <complained>[/i] all yr at times about not gettin enough playin time then when it matters u cant catch a 1st down pass right to u?? boldin u get paid millions of dollars to make that catch!! everybody makes mistakes but CMON!!!! it always seems to be the offense that doesnt do much when it counts in bmore!!! will this EVER change??? defense yall played a good game but CMON a deep pass on 3rd and long??? GEEEEEZZZZZ!!!!! how do u let that over ur head?? suggs u r a beast, i dont like ur comments sometimes (although some r funny!) but u play like a raven!!

The Ravens have now become awaist of time year after year we as fans see the same tired results from this team. They need to forget about Joe Flacco he is not a N.F.L. quarterback they need to go in another direction. so the canget through the playoffs and to the Super Bowl. Also the need to relace the Offensive and Defensive coordinator I would not let them coach in the pee-wee league this team has actually gone backward in the past three years.Its time to make a change before the window closes.

[Militant X 1]

there are major changes that need to be made in both the coaching staff and players roster b4 the Ravens will ever sniff the Superbowl again!

let me say what no one else is saying....

everyone seems to forget that Flacco was the Ravens #3 QB on the depth chart. he got "lucky" in nabbing the starting job due to the injury and illness of the #1 and #2 QBs on the roster.

sure, he has won a few games here and there....primarily with the Ravens defense carrying him. you can't squeeze blood out of a turnip but that is what we fans and Ravens organization has been tryng to do with Joe Flacco.

he is easily flustered when pressured, stands in the pocket and holds the ball way too long, overthrows or underthrows wide open receivers on the regular. can he improve? i think so...but for now....it is what it is!

First off I want to congratulate the Ravens on an outstanding season. You lost the game today, but should not be ashamed because as usual it was a hard fought battle.

All this talk about replacing your coaches and getting rid of Flacco is nonsense in my honest opinion. The Ravens are close, they just need to change their mentality when playing Pittsburgh. What I mean by that is that they need to understand you can not sit on a lead against the Steelers, they will play you for 60 full minutes, and if you make mistakes, they will get you.

Before knocking your QB and the coaches, just imagine if you were a Bengals fan or Browns fan. At least the Ravens contend every season.

A Steelers fan doesn't want the Ravens to make personel changes? I'm shocked.

Yeah things could always be worse, but they could be better too.

[Raven2011]

Well, I am amazed at the negative comments. Sure, disappointment sets it. But, let's put things in perspective. How many teams out of the 32 had more wins in the regular season ? The answer is 2. How many teams were in the playoffs as of this morning ? The answer is 8. I find it totally ridiculous for you so-called Raven's fans to vent your frustration in a totally unwarranted way. We had a great season. We were better than 90% of the teams in the regular season. This isn't like the World Series, i.e. best of 7. Anything can happen in one game.

Blame, blame blame. It's a typical response from losers. Give credit to the victors. Pittsburgh is a great team and deserved the victory. <Deleted> GO RAVENS !!!

[OLD SCHOOL SMASH BALL]

The GB Packers, up by 2 TD's now, get the ball to start the 2nd half. Will they go conservaative like Cam did? TBD

Why would any steeler fan want the Ravens to change? The Ravens are the only true legitimate challenger the Steelers have in the AFCN. The Ravens just need to know when playing against Ben and the Steelers, mistakes will kill you, even if you are up by 14 points.

[H8R]

Just a reminder, a loss in the divisional round with the team we assembled is not a great season. It's a below expectations season, to me.

Precisely; they can always count on Baltimore. I wouldn't want the teams that Baltimore owns to change either.

[Steelgirl]

We would be screaming the same thing..Ben holds the ball too long..Fire BA and LeBeau is too old...I was screaming a few things by half time too!!

As a Steeler fan I get that. Last year the Steelers finished 9-7 and I was thoroughly disappointed, until I thought about the teams that would have given their right arm to finish two games above 500, or even at 500.

I completely agree with this.

Especially when we're bested by a team we know inside and out.

you are a class act SP!

and that sitting on a lead thing? that has not just been against the steelers but against EVERY team the Ravens have played with a lead.

who's fault is that? the OC! he gots ta go! lol!

[ThePurpleCityBirdGang]

Look, love my team and do not even fault rice's fumble, or boldin n housh's drops.... Cam Cameron and predictable and inaffective play calling (on our side of the ball-arguing the refs anymore is just pointless)cost us this game. i feel we need to look elsewhere for an offensive coordinator and if Harbaugh doesnt notice that our guys 'miraculous play reactions" are what win us games and not Camerons play calling, then we need a new head coach too. I do not understand how we can have so much talent, proven talent, bust their butts year in and year out to only get stiffled by our own coaching. Not to mention how Flacco looks like a high school rookie due to Jim Zorn's backwards inaffectivness as a qb coach. Who made that decision? I hope we come back with the fire again next year. Just would have been nice to get Ray and Mason a ring this to make it easier for them to leave when they do, and not hurt them in the long run.

[ThePurpleCityBirdGang]

Get rid of Cam Cameron! Zorn was a mistake as well. Gaurantee that solves our problems. Love the Ravens and know that one day our time will come when everything clicks and we establish a monster to contend with the likes of the Pats n Colts type teams who are well oiled and gel immensely. It sux this time around, but we'll get it right one day when Cameron is watching from home and we're winning the Superbowl. Go Ravens 2011!!!!!!!!!!
