When Joe Flacco leads his team to 3 Super Bowl appearances in 6 seasons and wins 2 of them and wins his team the division consistently year in and year out and advances further in the playoffs then the first wildcard game maybe he will start getting the respect and slack that a guy like Ben Roethlisberger or Tom Brady gets. Until he can get the Ravens to that point he wont get the respect or credit that someone like Ben Roethlisberger gets...

Blah Blah all I remember is Big Ben with his towel on his head and a big frown because he knew Flacco was dotting his D up and down the field. Steeler fans are very fond of the past this year, probably because they're team is soft now and got swept by the ravens. For all the trash yall talk about Flacco he sure did look like the better QB both times they played THIS YEAR. Not saying Flacco is better period, but he played better in both games THIS YEAR. I'm not impressed, go back to squeeler land

[i][u][b]You cant come on here [/b][/u][/i]and make statements like this that the Steelers havent beaten a good team yet this season when they clearly have. The Patriots are 8-3 right now and swept the Jets a team the Ravens beat this season. So does that make the Jets not a good team then and not count as a good team that the Ravens beat?? Other then the Ravens and the Steelers who else is much better in the AFC other then the Patriots right now?? Dont sit here and tell me Houston because their QB situation now with both Schaub and Leinart out is a complete mess and without a quality QB in the playoffs I dont care how good Foster runs they arent going to make it that far. The Steelers also beat the Titans who are 6-5 and have a winning record another team the Ravens lost too...The Ravens did beat the 49ers who are 9-2 but I think the Niners arent as good as their record makes them out to be and we will see how well they do when they play the Steelers in San Fran in a few weeks...The 49ers are not a better team I think then the Patriots at this point because Alex Smith is not as good as Tom Brady and has no playoff experience what so ever...

We will see how Joe Flacco and the Ravens do in the playoffs this year once again especially if they hang on and win this division and get homefield advantage throughout...That will then be Joe Flacco's time to make a name for himself and put himself up their with the big boys. I wouldnt call the Steelers soft either their dude they are still one of the best teams in the AFC and reading a lot of other Ravens fans posts on here today they arent looking forward to having to play the Steelers in the playoffs one more time which at this point is a strong strong possiblity.

Flacco has already made a name for himself in the playoffs. he's won numerous road games and even beat Tom Brady and the Patriots remember? smh! that "playoff" argument is the ONLY argument left that you steeler boys keep trying to hold onto "hoping" and "wishing" that the Ravens [u][i][b]"self-destruct"[/b][/i][/u]. this is a new season. let it go!

the reality is this...

the Ravens beat the steelers 2xs in the regular season. they are 3-0 in the division and own the tie-breaker over the steelers. you cats can't seem to handle that one. but deal with it! lol! and...unlike the steelers...the Ravens haven't had a playoff game at home in a few years now. the steelers have had several! that is a major advantage in the playoffs. but..what no one is mentioning in this playoff scenario is the fact that the Ravens are UNDEFEATED at home this season so far and in the playoffs....M&T Bank Stadium will be a tough place to play and win for ANY road team!

The Ravens did beat the Patriots in the playoffs in 2009 you are correct but it sure as hell wasnt because of anything Joe Flacco did in that game. If you go back and look at the stats in that game he was something like 4 for 10 for 34 yards passing and the Ravens scored all their points on Ray Rice rushing for 160 yards and a few TD's and Tom Brady interceptions and Patriots turnovers. So yes Flacco technically did beat Tom Brady in the playoffs but he had absolutely nothing to do with that victory over the Patriots in 2009. Yes Flacco has also won 3 other playoff games as well but look at who he has beaten. He beat a mediocre Miami team with Chad Pennington as their starting QB,he beat Kerry Collins and the Titans when they had their one good season in 2008 and were very overrated, and he beat a mediocre Chiefs team in the playoffs last season with Matt Cassel who is an average QB at best. The bottom line is you can choose not to acknowledge it all you want but Flacco has not stepped up in the playoffs in the later rounds in the 3 games he has lost in the playoffs. Im speaking of the 2008 AFC Championship game against the Steelers, the 2009 divisional game at Indy,and the 2010 divisional game last year in Pittsburgh where he imploded in the 2nd half of the game up 14 points.

Now I have given the Ravens credit for beating the Steelers twice this season numerous times on here, and yes he has beat the Steelers twice this season and he has played great in the 2 games where he beat the Steelers, and if the Ravens end up winning out the rest of the way and winning the division his brilliant 92 yard drive in Pittsburgh about a month ago will be the difference between the Ravens having homefield advantage and the 1 seed and being a wildcard team. But that hasnt happened just yet. The Ravens havent clinched the division yet and they havent clinched any home playoff games this season just yet. And Flacco will still have to step up in the later rounds of the playoffs not just the wildcard round like he has yet to do and prove himself to be a big game top notch QB when it matters most in the postseason.

I actually think this week was a great week for us in retrospect. Playing against two very good teams and beating them in less than a week is something to be very proud of, especially when our team is as "inconsistent" as we are. Not only that, we escaped with minimal injuries. We don't have Ray, but we can win without Ray.

The Texans will drop off because of their qb injury, Troy got hurt for the Steelers so we will see how he comes back, and the Patriots still show their weaknesses with their running game and their defense. The Ravens need to stay focused and continue to worry about winning their games. The Texans only need to lose one game (which is a very likely considering their qb situation) for us to get that number 1 seed if we win out. Just keep staying healthy and winning games, and we will be ready to go come January

Note: The Steelers defense is a very different defense when Troy is not playing or not playing at a high level.

[bpytnjr58]

If the Ravens take care of their business and win out the division title is theirs...I see the Steelers possibly losing only one more game @SF so do not expect help from anyone.

I don't think you should be scared of the 49ers. I do think the Steelers will find a way to win. But I can see the 49ers winning as well. I think the Steelers style of play (especially on offense) matches against the 49ers well.

49ers struggle with bringing the QB down if he moves around the pocket. Big Ben won't be sacked. 49ers also struggle with big pass plays. Brown and Wallace will make them pay. The thing the 49ers do the best is stopping the run. Which the Steelers can rely without.

So the Steelers offense matches the 49ers D very well. But they are very opportunistic on D.
[/quote]

Lol at saying Big Ben won't be sacked when playing the Niners. I actually see the Niners sacking him about 4-5 times if not more.

Also, Ravens fans, calm down. Yes, we beat the Steelers twice and got that monkey off our back but it will mean absolutely nothing if we don't do anything in the playoffs or atleast secure the #1 or 2 seed so we can be at home which makes our chances of winning better. Also, parity is up in the league big time which means Any Given Sunday means more than anything now so trying to dissect a team and the level of competition they have faced is more mute than its ever been. Just b/c Team A barely beat Team B or lost to team B and Team C crushed Team A doesn't mean Team C will beat Team B. I have said that simple logic several times on here and if you do your research, its very true.

Anyway, only team I might be a little nervous with going forward is the Chargers. Yes, they have suck this year but our luck, they play like the Chargers of old. One thing I feel great in about that game is we are at home. If we were away I would really be nervous for that game.

People just thinking the Steelers will cakewalk it the rest of the way with the exception of the Niners and Bengals game, look what happen to them the other day vs the Chiefs.

[/quote]Well I guess you should be nervous then because that game is in San Diego and not in Baltimore. Aside from that I will still say and this is just my opinion since both of these games take place on back to back nights.
The Steelers stand a better chance of losing to the 49ers than Baltimore does against the Chargers. Right now that's just reality of it; however that could change. The Ravens have not played well on the road and San Diego might be able to muster 1 lass hurrah in front of the home crowd to try and salvage their season. If they don't protect Rivers though it'll be lights out.

The Steelers can certainly beat the 49ers if they can get the pass rush going against a 49ers offensive line that is average at best. I still don't believe Alex Smith can get it done against a stellar defense consistently and the Ravens proved that last Thursday night by making him look silly.

Sorry, but Flacco did not "implode" and cause last year's playoff loss to the squealers. Matt Birk, RR, Housh, Boldin, etc. all share the blame for the gift to the squealers. And that is what it was, a gift. The squealers did not win that game, we gave it to them. And it will not happen again.

Personally, I think the Heinz Field ground crew pumped stupid gas into the Ravens' locker room at half time.

He fumbled a snap that lead to a turnover and TD deep in their own end and threw a terrible interception to Ryan Clark as well before that which lead to another score. So while youre probably right it wasnt all Flacco's fault that the Ravens lost that game dont sit here and act like Flacco had nothing to do with the Ravens losing that game because he did his part as well...Where was T-Sizzle,Ed Reed,and Ray Lewis in this game in the 2nd half for the Ravens defense when they couldnt stop the Steelers from scoring 3 tds and converting a 60 plus yard pass to Antonio Brown on 3rd and 19?? I forgot when the Ravens lose it's never because the other team is better or made the plays when they had too it always because the Ravens "gave" the game away to the Steelers. I could easily sit here dude and say the samething about the game the Ravens won here a month ago as well that the Ravens didnt earn the win the Steelers with their piss poor pass coverage on that last drive gave the game to the Ravens. So it works both ways there...But Ill take the high road and dont look for excuses as to why the Steelers lost. The Ravens and Flacco made the plays in that game in November and the Steelers didnt. Much like in the playoff game last year the Steelers made the plays in the 2nd half to win the game and the Ravens didnt...

No, It was Birk, he decided to hike the ball up his butt. I remember watching the replay in disbelief. At first i thought it was Flacco too. Everyone was asking for Birks Head, myself included. Funny though, because if you go on the Stealers forums, thats all they did was complain and say the Refs gave us the game. NO K., the week 1 game was exactly how the Ravens played the Steelers in the play off game except they actually played the second half like they did the first.

Ray Rice had a rare fumble also..do not believe that was Flacco's fault.

Again, sorry; Joe did not fumble the snap. Matt Birk hiked the ball into his own thigh.

The squealers did not make the plays to win the game, we gave them the game. Even after the huge comedy of errors, the Ravens still had a chance to win the game with Joe driving them down the field, only to have Boldin drop a TD and Housh drop an easy first down pass.

I didn't reply to your post to make excuses for that game. We blew it. Bottom line. The squealers did not "win" that game, it was handed to them through unexplained terrible play by the Ravens after beating the opponent up and down the field in the first half. You stated Joe "imploded" and lost the game. I just explained that was not the case and far from the truth. Go away please.

Still no response either about Flacco going 4 for 10 for 34 yards in the playoff game against Brady that he had so much to do with winning a few years ago, And also other then Flacco beating the Patriots that year which he had nothing to do with the other teams and QB's he has beaten in the playoffs are Miami with Chad Pennington,Tennessee with Kerry Collins,and Kansas City with Matt Cassel. Not really that impressive if you ask me. Both the Dolphins and Chiefs were complete flukes as division winners both in 2008 and last year in 2010 and any decent team which the Ravens were in both of those years could have went into both Miami and Kansas City and won...

Yes he was terrible in that game no doubt but if Ben doesnt play the way he did in the 3 road games the Steelers won that year in Cincy,Indy,and Denver to get to the Super Bowl in which he had a passer rating of well over 100 in all 3 games and had 8 TD"s and 1 Interception total in those 3 games the Steelers probably dont even sniff the Super Bowl in 2005 much less win it. It's no fluke or coincidence that since Ben Roethlisberger has been the Steelers QB in 2004 that the Steelers have played in 3 Super Bowls and won 2 of them when in the pervious 15 years with Cowher while having a great defense all of those years as well the Steelers only made it to 1 Super Bowl and didnt win it...Without Ben Roethlisberger the Steelers dont win the 2 Super Bowls they did win in 2005 and 2008.
