Funny, right? Like roaches just creepin' back out.... And this year so close together

Do you guys ever just discuss football? I gave your team some big props for a gutsy road win today. You are on top of the rivalry right now...its a great chance to show some class.

[Ravenglenn]

I ran across a member of the bandwagon yesterday and already I'm being told they're definitely going to get back at us for last week. Everything was excuses, wonder what it'll be this time if we really thrash them.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

We have momentum, we're at home, their o line is trash, their qb (if he plays) is seriously injured, their rb's can't carry the ball, and Dennis PItta is back. I like our chances

[gabefergy]

I fully expect Ben to play next week. I never believed the whole "life threatening rib injury could take 4-6 weeks" garbage. That was most likely blown out of proportion from the get go to have as an out. Ben will be lauded and praised for being a tough guy, but to no avail because with or without Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers are in for a nightmare in Baltimore.

[BMORE_96]

Don't underestimate Pittsburgh ( you could jinx us) in all seriousness the ravens have momentum and home field on their side. Only way Pittsburgh wins is if Benz undergoes a miraculous medical recovery , Antonio brown is healthy and has a career game against our Webby-less secondary Nd polamalu plays and is 2009 polamalu . Again Highly unlikely. 10 - 24 Ravens

Well this is just great....
Arod only got me one point, and they have Bryce brown tomorow. Smh, I have a 12.5 point lead.

True dat

[A Fish Called Yanda]

If we win against Pittsburgh and Bengals lose next week, we clinch division, right?

Yup. Anyway, can you do me a favor and answer my fantasy question. This is a must win game for me(and it's my arch rival bro who kicked my butt week one)

[RavensAllTheWay]

Hopefully, that 5th quarter didn't take much out of us.

[BMORElegacy]

It feels weird having Steeler Week again after just having it last week. OH WELL. The Bank will be rocking and I'm pumped already!

So, [b]YES [/b]or [b]NO[/b]: Does either Ben Roethlisberger or Troy Polamalu play this week?

Who cares...let em all play, i still dont give them
A chance

No bro, I don't see the Steelers winning this game.
[/quote]
Not rubbing anything in or something like that.. Just seeing if u really thought the Ravens would only score 6 at home

Even 16 is a low ball number.. I say we could get 16 by halftime

[FerrariFan87]

If we win and the Bengals lose we clinch the division... just saying.

Yes, good call. FF sucks.

Oh yeah, Go Ravens!

[Guest Mr. Nobody]

if we get at least a turnover every quarter - fumble or int, not that fussed - i'll be a very happy happy man
pitts got no O-line, RBs are in a mess, QB what QB?
and we're playing AT HOME... ohh yeah we'll score some... and then some more

[Sizzlebshu]

What's sad is that the browns were able to put up 20 on the steelers which we couldnt even do when we played them.

This team needs to run the no huddle on the steelers. The Steelers will be relying on their D to win. Whether Ben is back or not he wont be 100%. That being said he will still be dangerous, but more akin to last year at the end of the season dangerous. Effective but manageable. WE CAN WIN THIS GAME AT HOME. However, we will lose if we don't run the no huddle whether we play Ben or Batch.

[/quote] 17 of those points were off the turnovers. Pitt was not nice enough to give us 8 turnovers. Or we weren't aggressive enough to force them, however you'd like to look at it.

[H8R]

Welp, here we go again. If Ben is back and the Dline can crush like they did today... I DON'T KNOW if Ben will finish the game. Keep that turnover ratio in our favor and we win, IMO .

[Juviebest]

The return of Antonio Brown and perhaps Ben makes me cautiously optimistic instead of straight optimistic. That o-line has problems if Gilbert isn't back and Mike Adams is out (even though Adams is a bum anyways). Colon will probably play too.

the browns were at home...pumped up and the steelers coughed the ball up 8 times brah! lol!

we played them in pittsburg but this time around it is at our house where the Ravens and Joe Flacco seem to play a whole lot better than being on the road. i'm not sleeping on the steelers by any means and neither should our team. they are scrappy and normally play hard to the very end. this will not be a cake walk or easy win for the Ravens even if it is at home because the steelers no doubt will want to play the spoilers to our clinching the division. get ready for another typical AFC North showdown with our arch rivals. just win baby!

Anyway you slice it, it looks bad for us. Either our D if worse than the browns at creating turnovers or our offense cant keep up with the browns comparatively.

No matter how you see its sad, either the browns D was better at creating turnovers, or our offense cant convert like theres can on opportunities.

LolZ... Pittsburgh was also on the road...as were we... Lets not forget that the Steelers even had a different QB.. How can you even draw similar lines between our game vs Pittsburgh and oppsed to the Browns/Steelers? This is absolutley a laugher.. we forced 3 turnovers... The Steelers RB's put the ball on the ground, lets give the Browns d some credit... Each game stand on its own, people dont get that.

GO RAVENS!!! WE CAN DO IT GUYS!!

So you think we're worse off than a team we've beaten twice this season? Okay. Anyway, Ben is going to "try" to play this week: [url="http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000100977/article/ben-roethlisberger-to-try-to-play-in-steelersravens"]http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000100977/article/ben-roethlisberger-to-try-to-play-in-steelersravens[/url]

[Larryterri]

Lets say that somehow Ben being back keeps the RB's from dropping the all and we lose this game, how does that affect the playoff picture?

We'd still clearly be in the driver's seat for the division but it would drop us back with Denver and New England and we'd have a tougher time getting that first round bye that we need.
