If they were both paper i would shred flacco, open up the paper shredder, take out paper/flacco and flush him next to my fresh manure down to Pittsburgh.

I think the difference is that Ben takes his team down the field with GW drive most of the time.

Flacco has only done it once, and that was with the assistance of no offense from them since Ben wasn't playing.

Its not really Ben vs. Flacco. Its really who will make the play at the end, and more times than not, its Ben.

Everyone here does realize that Ben has 4 yrs experience on Joe yes?

That said, did the Steelers let up and rush 3 guys on us at any time during the game?
Did the Steelers WRs drop pass after pass after pass?

Another round to Big Ben. It's disgusting to think that he could have 3 Superbowl rings soon.

You really need to stop now. You've got some post bashing Flacco in every single thread.

If your tunnel vision is that bad so you cannot see numerous dropped passes by our WRs, a clearly biased officiating crew, stale play calling that continually put us in 3rd and long situations, a weak O line, a fumble by our usually sure-handed RB, a bad snap by our seasoned center than just walk away from the threads until it clears.

Flacco made 4 bad decisions. One was to not throw the ball away and run out of bounds for an 8 yd loss. One was the INT. One was when he released earlier than he wanted due to pressure and was trying to avoid a sack. Another overthrow to Heap later on. He made the throws dude. Our WRs couldn't hold onto anything.

The comparison is made because both face off against fine defences when this match up occurs.

That's awesome.

When Joe threw a pass to his WR in the end-zone with around 3 minutes(I forget) remaining, he dropped it. When Ben launched a pass down the field on 3rd and a mile, his WR caught it. He didn't make the play by himself.
[/quote]Tell me you didnt say that. LOL. Lets put it this way -- We have an extremely hard time beating the Pats because of who? Thats right, Brady.

How about this -- When Ben hasnt played against your Ravens, your Record is at least 500 or better. [b]When he does play, hes something like 8 or 9 & 1 against the Ravens[/b]. Hmmmmmmm, something tells me Ben has something to do with this

See the OBVIOUS LOGIC there?

What exactly in my post do you disagree with so vehemently? Are you high? Ben does not make plays himself. He's a big reason why the Ravens have rarely been able to win when he's starting for the Steelers but he's not the only reason, as so many people seem to imply.

Biased officiating crew? You do realize the Steelers actually were penalized for more yards than the Ravens.

It was not the officiating crew that caused Rice to fumble, it was not the officiating crew that caused flacco to throw the interception and it was not the officiating crew that caused the dropped balls.

The Raven were up 21-7, and no disrespect, had that been the steelers, the game would have been over, because with that kind of lead, lebeau would really turn the screws tighter. Doesn't work all the time, but most of the time it does. Sure you can say the holding call that negated the td, killed the Ravens, but that should not have even mattered.

In conclusion, this was the worst officiated game I can recall in a long time, but it is not what cost the Ravens the game. No disrespect, but this is not the "old Steelers" who would run through you. This is an offense that has the ability to score fast and often.

A phantom Pass Interference on your first drive and a phantom holding call on our Punt Return TD is a 14 point swing in your favor... not to mention the phantom defensive holding that gave you extra shots at a TD late that totally changes the complexion of our final drive. Give me a break. Take your win and please go to your own forum.
