Next up: Thanksgiving and the Steelers

[JEEPercreepermd]

Pleaee tell me that you mods haven'tbanned the troll yet? I looove trolls.

[JEEPercreepermd]

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.

Ugly and Stupid? Let's not get started on that one, because it's common knowledge that most of the Steelers fan base with more than two brain cells packed up and left out of that dreary, depressed rust bucket of Pittsburgh long ago...AND Western PA for that matter.

Now that I'm thinking about the Steelers, didnt you all get b#### slapped by Tebow the last time you actually MADE the playoffs? Just face it, the Steelers havent even been relevant for over 2 years now and are falling..why do you think Big Ben is trying to jump ship after the season is over? To save himself the embarrassment of fighting the Browns for last place rights for the next 5 years.HAHA. But hey it should be all well and fine for you guys..I mean who cares about who has been consistently
Better for the last half of a decade when you guys can just sit around in your moms basements, eating mayo and french fry sandwiches and reminisce about SB championships from over 40 years ago!

Also the Steelers and their fans for some reason have a passion for making outlandidh predictions...after all wasn't it one of the Steelers who claimed that the Ravens would never win a SB with Joe Flacco?

That last sentence though

Makes me chuckle everytime

Most will clearly see this game as a battle for the #6 seed and it is, but I think it's more. I think it's a Battle for the North. Call me a hater or a non believer or whatever you want, but I just don't buy into the Bengals. Both the Ravens and Steelers get another crack at the Bengals again this year and the winner of this game will be in great position to hunt them down.

 

Heck if the Bengals don't beat the Chargers on Sunday I don't even think they make the playoffs but that's another story.

That would have to be one of the funniest capitulations ever.

 

For whatever reason it seemed the Ravens were taken by surprise on defense the first time they plays the Steelers. Yea they ran a little wildcat but for the most part it just looked like they just lined up and beat us, but the defense seemed confused. I can't see that happening again this time. The defense will play much better, but they'll still have their hands full.

 

Surprisingly the offense actually played one of their better games of the season against the Steelers, but we still left a couple plays on the field that could have won the game. I don't know what, but I have a filling that Marlon Brown will really breakout in one of these games coming up, well what better time then now. I think the deep ball will occupy the Steelers attention alot and both Brown and Doss should be able to have success over the middle of the field.

 

I'm interested to see how our interior oline handles the blitz, if they can give Flacco time it should be a fairly big night.

 

I agree. I think we were kinda surprised by what Le'Veon Bell could do, and I think he becomes a focus for the defence this time around. I also agree re: Marlon Brown. I can see the Steelers blanketing Torrey and Marlon finding a lot of room, like what happened to Torrey a couple of years ago.

One of the comments from the video I just linked:

Losing to Tebow is like losing to your girlfriend in Madden.

Here are the parts of the article that caught my attention...

 

''To get a chance to play on Thanksgiving night in front of the whole country in a rivalry such as this in Baltimore is something that you work hard for,'' Harbaugh said. ''We're looking forward to it. We can't wait to play.''

 

''We're going into the lion's den,'' Tomlin said. ''I think anybody that is a competitor embraces that. We've got a great deal of respect for those guys and their fans and the atmosphere that they create, and (we're) really looking forward to pitting our skills versus theirs within it.''

 

So coach Harbs said the Ravens are ready to play in front of the whole country huh?  And Tomlin said that the steelers are looking forward to "pitting" (get that?..lol) their skills versus the Ravens skills.  The Ravens better come out ready to play 60 minutes and keep scoring cause the steelers play until the final whistle blows.  The Ravens need to match that intensity with their own!  Go Ravens!!!

These types of games are when we truly, absolutely miss Boldin & Pollard. Physicality alone.

[bmore187]

Stop the run and pass protect on offense and we win.....dont even bother trying to run with rice or pierce....just use them for check downs and screen plays

[shiri2]

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 enjoy it because we make you guys face the reality that the Squeelas aint all that!! And that they're not running things in the AFC North.  You're not the top dog, we are...the Baltimore Ravens, Superbowl XLVII Champs! Kiss the ring, my brotha!

[shiri2]

Well, to be fair, its 2 SBs. Thats if you're using the amount to induce some sort of SB envy on our part. Both teams have 2 SBs since 1996. Prior to that, the Ravens team didn't exist so those other 4 from 40 years ago are a mute point. That being said, I hope for an injury free game for both sides, and of course a Raven win. Afterall, I don't have complete animosity towards you guys, I will give you an "atta boy" for getting rid of that guy Owen.

Poescrows, that's true.  everytime you talk to a Squeela fan the first thing they say to defend their point of view is, "we got 6 rings!"  Yeah, right...since the turn of the century. Probably made outta wood (lol)!  The Squeelas have been around since 1933, that's 80 yrs.  And all they have to show for it is 6 rings?! The 49ers have been around since 1946 and have 5 rings in 67 years.   I think you'll agree it's much harder to get a ring now, than back then.  You guys got rings when you had no real competition, like us, to put you down!  When we beat the Squeelas tomorrow, the Squeela nation will have a ton of reasons why they loss, things like:  Woodley was out, Pouncy was out,  Ben got hurt, the refs made a lot of bad calls, etc.

Jimmy Smith is playing "lights out" now, and  Gino is getting better. He's starting to play with more fire!  The other 2 I agree on getting rid of.

...well said, my brother!  I just hope they don't expose us on national TV as non-contenders.

LOL…hey, I came in here and congratulated you guys the day you won it….but as for kissing the ring….no thanks! I would enjoy seeing us win our third in a row against your guys and put the final nail in your post super bowl collapse coffin!

I see this game like you do this is about the afc north  if i am wrong and  the bengals do take it then sure I won't be mad over the 6th seed . I can realistically see it coming down to the very last game of the regular season. the ravens as a whole are finally clicking run game or not i think we take the north again this year.

I honestly think we are one game away from going on the same type of run as we did last year. It was the NYG last year. I think this game will be that spring board this year. Despite all the poor play this year, I still think the Ravens are right up there with the top teams in the AFC, we just haven't put it together yet.

 

I have a really strong feeling that this game will be a complete performance, offense, defense and special teams. It'll put people on notice that the defending champs aren't down yet.

apart from the opening line not a bad post. Beats that other guy anyway

[airconteka1]

I am leaving work at midday to study. I will get more done if we are winning, I hope the team is reading this because I have a big weekend planned. Win please.

[1/28/01]

Little under 12 hours until Suggs and Doom meet at the QB!

[Militant X 1]

...well said, my brother!  I just hope they don't expose us on national TV as non-contenders.

 

same here brah!  the Ravens seem to play like the bad news bears imo when the national spotlight is on them for some odd reason.  hopefully that changes tonight!!!

LOL…hey, I came in here and congratulated you guys the day you won it….but as for kissing the ring….no thanks! I would enjoy seeing us win our third in a row against your guys and put the final nail in your post super bowl collapse coffin! 

what?  didn't you know?  I feel the same way about the steelers.  I loved it when you cats got "tebowed" a few seasons ago.  I loved it when you cats got eliminated from even sniffing the playoffs last season and I can't wait for my Ravens to silence all of the noise by beating your boys down tonight!  it's amazing!  when you were 0-4....we heard NOTHING from you steeler boys.  and now, that you are back in it due to horrible AFC North gameplay....all you cats do is run your mouths!  LOL!

Sitting at home.  This game is taking forever to wait after a meal.

[The Mom Gene]

Off to visit Family and have Dinner..... See you guys later this evening.

[Aunka_Beatmon]

Here we go.  I can see the Raven's totally throttling those clowns tonight.  Probably not on the ground.  But I'm confident in Joe ability to do them like they did on the Sept 11th opener two seasons ago.  

#RavenNation knows it.  Just feels like it's the right thing to do.  Let's go Baltimore you know your hot tonight! 

[Jokerraven]

I'm more nervous tonight then the day of the superbowl . Go Ravens !

[ckgeisl]

Hi Guys, just wanted to congratulate you on the win.  I stated we would win by 7 +.  We laid an egg in the first half and we deserved to lose.  Anyway, even if we won, we would have to put in some high school kids on our OL.. we lost 3 more linemen tonight and we are in bad shap for the rest of the year.  Good luck
