If you think the Ravens are scared of the Steelers, you're mistaken... Name one example where Harbs hasn't been justified in complaining about CRAP calls, I mean since you watch the Ravens soo closely... it should be a gimmee! Keep beating your chest and you might just stop your own heart.

Im not just talking about the Steelers games I am talking every single week the guy whines and cries to the refs. He did in Jacksonville last week and he was doing it yesterday when the Cardinals were pounding the Ravens in the 1st half. My point is you dont see guys like Tomlin or Belichick whining to the officials like Harbaugh continually does...

I was at the game in Baltimore on opening week and he kept raising his arms in the air to the crowd like non-stop before the 4th quarter was over and the game was even decided yet. Plus, they took another shot in the end zone with Boldin with about 2 minutes left in that game when it was 32-7 and well decided. A lot of the the Steelers players on defense commented on this after the game and didnt forget it is all Im saying. I dont think Harbaugh is the brighest head coach in the league to begin with. [b]The guy whines and cries to the officials on the sidelines more then a lot of the other coaches in the league do.[/b]

You do understand why h do that, right? We have the most successful percentage of challenges being overturned in the league and most of them shouldn't have been ruled the other way for us to challenge them anyway. There be a lot of questionable calls when we play and even the brobroadcasters be disagreeing with the calls the refs makes. A lot of our games are close so a missed/bad call can easily make or break our chances on winning the game.

Yes the steelers beat the patriots but that was just a reflection of what the Patriots call a defense. The steelers racked up tones of yards and then couldn't score touchdowns to put the game away..... The Ravens defense hasn't been giving up huge chunks of yards upon yards like the patriots defense..... Ravens have guys like Suggs and Ngata..( new found talent Kruger, McPhee ) that can actually apply QB pressures.
Ben sat in pocket throwing short ( Tom-Brady-like) passes all game. Against us he we be right back to scrambling playing school yard ball....

The Steelers shut down Fitzgerald and Welker back to back weeks and they are two of the best receivers in the game. If they are capable of that they can definitely shut down both Boldin and
Smith and Lee the dud Evans who has barely even played a full game yet with the Ravens...

Patriots offense actually was shut down by Steelers offense and time of possession. Still a great job though....
Fitzgerald has flashes with a big catch or two in games against good defenses, because he has no other viable receivers opposite him teams roll coverage on him... There offensive line is weak and Kolb is backup QB lol.

The whole "hangover" thing isn't real. What's real is a big win can mask your weaknesses. Exactly what happened to us week 2. Our team struggled against a team that had a gameplan we weren't ready for, because we didn't know we couldn't handle it. The Steelers changed their D to a man scheme and started using a quick passing game. If that scheme doesn't work against us, the Steelers are in trouble and it could be perceived as a hangover. In reality it is them not knowing the weaknesses of that particular scheme.

Haha Im over that loss. And I knew it wouldnt be a big deal because I figured as long as the Steelers could stay even with Baltimore in the standings going into the rematch in November that the game opening day would be forgotten about, and they would have a chance to overtake them in the division once again which is exactly what they can do this week with a win. [b]Ive said it before and Ill say it again on here the games you win later on in the season within the division when there are less games left and the division title and playoff implications are greater are the ones that mean more then winning the games early on in the season in September or early October.[/b]

Seriously? The Steelers don't need any more motivation to play this game... if they do, you have bigger problems on your hands. Enough with the disparaging remarks about our Coach too.

[callahan09]

Part of me kind of wants to assume that the Ravens took a bit of a break from normal football procedure after the Texans game. Everybody was saying "We take the Texans, and we go into the Steelers game with just 1 loss" like it was automatic that we handle the Jags and the Cards. I know that was the fans talking, but after looking at our performance versus those lowly terms, against how we performed against the much, much better teams that we've faced so far, I have to think there may be something to the notion that the Ravens sort of focused on the 3-weeks-in-the-future Steelers game after handling the Texans, and that contributed to a bit of poor preparation for the Jags and Cards. We didn't play well against either team, it was obvious that we didn't properly study their strengths and weaknesses. It should have been easy, with some proper study, to ascertain where to attack them and where they would attack us, they are one-dimensional teams that should not have given us too much trouble. The problem is, if we don't prepare well, you don't know what the aspects of that one-dimensionality really are, and you wind up having a tough time against a less talented and less dynamic opponent. I'm hoping that this is the case, and we struggled there because we've been focusing on this Steelers battle since before just the start of this week.

There is nothing good about the Steelers winning... ever... period.

I dont see the Steelers having a hangover because they beat the Patriots dude. You have to remember something there are still a lot of guys on this Steelers roster that have played in at least 2 or 3 Super Bowls in the past 5-6 years. They know what's at stake in this game and they didnt forget what happened to them week 1 in Baltimore with the fake extra point and Harbaugh jacking the crowd up with his arms in the 4th quarter and all that fun stuff. They will be ready to go Sunday and this game will ultimately be close in the end. Neither the Steelers or Ravens whoever ends up winning this game will win it handily I believe...

Tired of hearing about the Steelers "being mad" because the Ravens went for two. It was the Steelers' fault for overloading one side of their special teams and "trying" to block that extra point. Coach Rosburg did a great job of recognizing and Koch did a good job of getting it in. Why don't the Steelers' blame their special teams coach for being too overly aggressive in that situation? Oh yeah, because the Ravens were just "running up the score" by getting 2 points instead of 1. Please, give me a dang break.

[CapoRocky]

We are going to score 24-31 points on the Steelers. I don't think that they have the pass rush due to the injuries to Woodley and Harrison. McKinnie and Oher will be better blocking when Flacco is in the shotgun. I see Boldin emerging as the true number one that wasn't apparent last year. If he and Rice have another great game, then we will beat the Steelers again. If not, then we will be falling behind the Bengals in the middle of the pack.

LOL!!!
