Peter King's Weekly Pickoff

[JonM229]

As much as I dislike Peter King, this will be the second time this week that I've linked to one of his articles.

Here's what he had to say about our upcoming game:

[quote]Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3) at Baltimore Ravens (9-4)
"This is going to be a two-chinstrap game,'' Marvin Lewis told us this week on Sirius NFL radio. He means the first one is going to break, snap, fray, disintegrate -- or all of the above. With all due respect to Giants-Cowboys, this is the game of the weekend.

Prediction: Baltimore Ravens 16, Pittsburgh Steelers 12[/quote]

Nice! Good to see the Ravens getting some respect.

Wow, game of the weekend huh? We really ARE making a mark on the NFL arent we?

Who cares, let them continue to talk about how the New York Bretts are so great, let them keep talking about how the NFC East will be our measuring stick. Let them keep talking about how the Pats don't miss Brady, let them talk about the Titans, NYG, and the other hot stories like the Browns. Leave the Ravens alone. We didn't care about the National media when they bad mouthed us or totally overlooked us in the begining of the season and we don't care about them now; that they see that good/great football is being played in Baltimore.

We don't want nothing from noone, we just wanna keep playing good football. They can keep their praise, good prediction, they can save their last mintue bangwagon tickets, and their primetime games. Just make sure they are standing their to hand us that Trophy at seasons end, and they can go back to loving their media darlings.

No surprise to see the see Steelers in back to back games of the week. The boys are awesome. I do feel better playing the underdog role.

As for getting handed a trophy at the end of the year. Good luck with that and Good luck Sunday 23-10 Steelers

I don't know about the Steelers being awesome, i guess it's just the point of view you look from. I see them as having a great D that wins despite their lack luster offense. Hey that sounds familar........

Anyway i think it will be a great game this Sunday and i just hope both teams remain healthy, cuz it might not be the last time we meet this season.

Haha, honestly. we as Ravens fans with a rookie head coach and QB are quite grateful to be where we are, im just wondering where you all will be after we win on Sunday.. probablly making excuses about why we won the game.. maybe this time it will be "bad ref's?, cheap shots, ben losing his shoes again?".. We dont need luck from Steelers fans.

HAHA, No Doubt, I said it yesterday. Nobody, Including the so called experts thought either of our teams would be where we are. Raven's cause of QB issues and Steelers cause of O Line and hard schedule. We both have plenty to celebrate. Speaking of celebrating, tell Lee I am renting out the back room for a real Steelers shindig . Good Luck Sunday 23-10 Steelers

The Giants have an all star O Line, the Steelers don't, along with 3 healthy RB's for the Giants, and only 1 for the Steelers, because Parker still isn't 100%.

There is no comparison between the two imo, plus were used to the Steelers, and have success against them in our house

Absolutly, He's wrong on a few accounts. 1) Steelers will get the W and 2) the score will be 23-10.

[macbrak]

King's been favorable to us for the last couple weeks. I think He was the first to put us in the top 8. All teams' fans blame loses on something other then their play 90% of the time.

Good Luck. Ravens 23-10

Hey, You got my quote wrong . No but for real. Good luck. I am pretty stoked for the game as I can tell all of you are as well.

[Bosanac]

seriously? just because we've won the past 5 meetings at our house means we will win sunday? what kind of perspective is that from a raven fan.

One game at a time. [b]Any given sunday[/b]

Very true, and nothing proves that more then what happend on Feb 3rd 2008.

Predicting the score is almost always a bad decision.
