Easy there, bro, didn't say we would put up 30 or even that we would win…just that 17 won't be enough. Steeler D isn't up to its normal standard either…I'm looking for a 24-20 game…close but higher scoring than normal Steelers vs. Ravens match -up. The fans of winning teams tend to get a bit arrogant…thats why so many in here are! Welcome to the top of the mountain!

I think the score will be 23-20, though it's pretty much a toss-up who gets the 23 (I'll give us a 55-60% shot for being at home).

 

Just a thought, how much bigger would it make this game if Dennis Pitta came back for it?

[T3hRaven]

This is another must win game.  I don't think it's wrong to say whoever wins this game is probably going to get the six seed.

 

I think I can hit the six o'clock Black Friday sales and be back in time for the game...

Steeler secondary got torched for 237 yards by Josh Gordon today from Freeman and Weeden…ugh. My biggest concern for this game is can they stop Flacco to Smith? If they can't….could be a long day for the Steelers. Believe me, we are a 5-6...sure playing better lately…and as a fan I never give up, there are reasons you lose six games. Home field is big and one of these teams has a chance to prove they belong in the mix…Who would have thought this game would matter a few weeks ago?!

i'm easy like a Sunday morning brah!  there will be nothing different about this game than normal.  it is always a slugfest!  these two teams know each other far too well!  of course, as a Ravens fan i'm saying we'll come out on top due to the fact that this time around we are at home.  and I know as a steelers fan, you'll say your boys will win.  that's a given brah!  but let's not think that the steelers are the in all and be all of the AFC North.  they are not!  impressive wins for them fighting back from the bottom no doubt!  but overall, the AFC North has been horrible!  and, of course, there are arrogant fans from all teams but the reality (at least mine) is that you cats are over the top!  sure, we're at the top and have been for a few seasons but at least we still respect the little people!  LOL!!  good game to you on Thursday!

Thanks for the welcoming! But as defending champs, I'd say we are on top of the mountain right now and that we'll welcome you back when it is appropriate. ;)

Our season depends on this game. I feel like today was a turn around. No more losing for the Ravens. This team is going to want to win. With this home game on Thanksgiving, I hope we can blow up, get hot at the right time and win on Thursday.

We're feeling that playoff urgency. That is what I saw today.

 

Have to take these next 2 at Home and keep that urgency in Detroit.

[Ravensfan23]

I'm glad the Ravens don't have to travel on this short week. The weather looks like it'll be clear and cold. This should only help our passing game.

 

I think the first matchup the defense was surprised a bit by the rushing of the Steelers. Those guys were just patient behind their blocks and waited for the Ravens to commit one way or the other. This time around it'll be interesting to see how the front 7 handles their run game.

 

I actually think this game will come down to the better play between Flacco and Ben. Big Plays minus Turnovers is the ratio that is gonna win this game. Neither team will run the ball successfully imo. I like our chances to control that running game and attack the LOS putting pressure on Ben. Obviously we know that getting to Ben and bringing him down is two different stories but I think he'll have a big night pass rushing.

 

I actually like what I saw from the offense today, I just thought we went to the Tyrod package a little too often. But spreading this Steelers defense out is the key to success and because we can't run right now we have no other choice so I like that. Guys like Brown, Doss, Clark, Dickson and Stokely will need to be tough in the middle of the field because it'll be some hard hitting and the Steelers will probably keep deep coverage to stop Torrey and Jacoby.

 

I think it comes down to who has the ball last. 21-16 Ravens. Down 14-16 and with the season on the line. Flacco lead a 75 yard scoring drive capped off by Brown's 2nd TD catch. 21-16 final score.

Fair enough…but I was thinking long term in the rivalry….I think if your honest, we have been the big brother! (Thats why you enjoy it when you knock us down a peg!) 

[Moderator 3]

Not everyone thinks it is good to be a Steelers fan.

Still on that "big brother" stuff huh? I might agree if we weren't the two time defending division champs....The big brother is supposed to beat the little brother right?

[ravensdfan]

I'm unsure what you base this "big brother" analogy on really.,

Fair enough…but I was thinking long term in the rivalry….I think if your honest, we have been the big brother! (Thats why you enjoy it when you knock us down a peg!) 

 

We've only been in the league since 1996.

We've only been in the Steelers' division since 2002.

 

Since our inception as a team, we have as many SB victories as the Steelers.

We've made the playoffs the last 5 seasons.

We've been division champs the last 2 seasons.

We've made it to the AFCCG the last 2 seasons, and 3 times in the last 5 seasons.

 

Hmmm...not sure I see any basis for this "little brother" inferiority complex you are claiming we have.

Militant.........OMG....REALLY?   WOW!!!!!!!!   Arrogant fan base?      Kettle calling Pot black?    LOL    Anyway, everything I have stated this year has come to fruition with the Ravens and your 120 million dollar man.  This game will be won by the Steelers by 7+ points though.  It will be even more lopsided if Steelers get on top by 14 or more points early, putting Flacco in a one dimensional game even more than usual.  Steelers have run on you already this year and will be very successful in passing because of it.  .  IF the turnover ratio is equal,  this game will be over by the beginning of the 4th qtr..  Flacco's inconsistency will be his downfall and I look for 2 interceptions by the Steelers.  Mark this post down everyone.....I have not been wrong this year yet and the Steelers are playing like I expected them although it has taken more time than I thought.  God forbid if our OL gets to play 2 weeks in a row with the same men........and no 3rd stringers.  I know my prediction will not be believed by anyone other than a few intellectual and knowledgeable fans but JUST WATCH and see.

Awww it was so nice of you to show up and spew arrogance to prove Milli correct about the Steeler fanbase!

 

I wonder if we'll see you when your prediction doesn't see fruition though.

[ravensdfan]

Still not seeing it. Perhaps you could be a little more specific than " boards".

I guess that makes two of us because I don't see it either. You see what you want to see.

[ravensdfan]

? really? you a prophet or just arrogant?

 

 

I didn't predict a win, just knocking the 2 INTs , running all over us, and 7 pt win.

 

I mean, really, when was the last time one of our games was settled by more than 3 pts?

[1/28/01]

Ugh. Hate this week. Not cause its the Steelers. But again, as others have said, all the yodles above and the garbage that trickles down from that City in PA.

Unbelievable........you mean the Cleveland Brown busses that left the Stadium in the middle of the night were not filled with the same players that played that year and magically became Ravens the next morning......... the FACT is that the Cleveland Browns are the REAL new team........... The ONLY thing that changed that night were your uniforms.  WHO ARE YOU KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!   Do ANY of you believe that you were the Browns team and just moved to Maryland.  OMG  REALLY?

Same Cleveland Brown team with Baltimore name..........  As a matter of fact, all your tackling dummies and equipment still had the Browns logo on it.....I remember you moved out sooo fast from Cleveland you had to move in the middle of the night.  The only reason you had to pick a new name was that the Cleveland Brown name would look funny in Philly , Oakland or Baltimore...LOLROF.   PLAAAA EASE  don't confuse ugly with stupid son.

You're confused. The Browns' busses didn't leave in the middle of the night.

That would be the Baltimore Colts' busses that snuck out of town.
