Merged: Ravens Will Face Pittsburgh

[PuRock]

The worst thing that's about to happen is all the confident bandwagon Steelers fans that are going to flood our site.  

[Canadian_Raven]

We got the Steelers in the Wild Card round. Thoughts, fans?

 

We haven't been strong against Pittsburgh in the postseason, but I'm HOPING we erase the horrible beatdown we received on SNF in the form of 6 TDs!

we will build a steel wall to hold them out.

WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE!

Nothing like a Ravens-Steelers game.

You bet! I just wish I had Steeler fans to heckle in the GTA!

[Militant X 1]

There is a first time for everything and this will be the Ravens first time knocking the Steelers out of the playoffs on their own field!

 

GO RAVENS!

[K-Dog]

Three cheers for our Mods !!!

[Bruce_Almty]

Not liking our post season history at Heinz Field but on the positive side, this team has never lost a playoff road game. So on to Pittsburgh and come away with a win.

Yeah... I just realized that. First time in which both teams have met in the Wild Card game! All other times have been either in the Divisional games (twice) or the AFC Championship game!

Yes we have.

[Gordo52]

Hate being this guy but let's hope the refs don't influence this game as much as the last one.

I want us to whip the [crap] out of them.

Well apparently Brown is allowed all the OPI he likes so we'll have to deal with that issue.

 

Eh bring 'em on! It's the Steelers! We know them like we know ourselves and we owe them!

 

Go Ravens!

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Limit Bell (if he goes), shut down Brown....harder than it sounds, but it's what we have to do

[Static]

I'm terrified but I wouldn't want it any other way. 

[PuRock]

Suggs and Doom need to dominate. Feed the ball to Steve Smith. Dude doesn't want to go down without a fight (and a ring).

Ring their bells with every hit. And don't lose focus on the run game.

Most importantly, execute.

[Bmoreazfan]

They say Bell has a hyper extended knee (likely ligament sprain). Obviously I am hoping he is ok but reality is he probably won't play so I'm liking this game. Defensively we can focus on pass rush now that their run game took a massive hit. As far as offense goes if we can simply avoid turnovers and penalties regardless of the Steelers run defense we can stay in this game. This should be an old fashion smashmouth offensive game plan if we get to Ben

Don't trust any diagnosis until tomorrow. I dont know if you watch Basketball but Jabari Parker the 2nd pick was declared a Hyper extension but the day after they did an MRI and found an ACL Tear

Well said.

[Inqui]

I don't want to face Denver. They are going to be fired up from 2012 and Manning will more than likely have a week of rest and watch plenty of film on our secondary.

Not really a team I want to face as they all can beat us or have beaten us. It will be tough. I chose New England since if we face them, it means we make the next round.

Realistically, what's he going to see beyond how badly they've been playing?

[ellicottraven]

The fans in GTA are classy obviously if it is hard to find Steeler fans! Good for you sir!

Heh. Thanks. We're just nice hecklers... Canadian Raven and Canadian Steeler fans.

 

I'm anxious for the Denver & New England rematches down the line. I wonder if they are enraged over what happened two years ago...

[Bmoreazfan]

I love the Steelers matchup after they come off a hard fought victory

 

The NFC South swept the Steelers in home field Pittsburgh games this year. They played a tough game tonight and are going to be a lot more one dimensional in all likely hood with Bell down. If our Coaches prepare like I know they can we might have another week to cheer for

[FoxRox75]

I really, really, really, really, REALLY want to win this one. More than I can remember wanting to win a game since the Super Bowl. We'll need to start fast this time and use our full potential to win this time. The greatest rivalry continues; let's hope we can finally knock Pittsburgh out of the playoffs for the first time. 

[BSHU_Miami]

It's bout that time!!!!!!

Am I confident no. But dammit were not losing. We're going to go to genus field and end their season, I don't know how, I don't know the score, all I know is that this postseason lull against this team ENDS SATURDAY.

A lot of posters in here love to hang their hats on the "Joe is clutch in the playoffs" in his defense during horrible games.  Well guys and gals; here we are...in the playoffs!  Now, let's see that "clutchness" of Joe Flacco starting on Saturday vs Steelers.

 

Let's goooo Joe!

 

GO RAVENS!

Yes! That's right! Am I the only one on this bandwagon who thinks AND KNOWS that Joe Flacco is awesome during the playoffs?!

No air quotes needed....The Flacco's clutchness is very thoroughly established.

What we need is to hope that either A. our offense plays at least three quarters, not just one glorious one, or B. that our defense doesn't get shredded if A. does not occur.

He also happens to have been very good during the year too, but people won't let the Texans game go and think he's stunk half the year.    Career year in TD's and completion %.  

 

I'm thinking I'm not terribly worried with the exception of not knowing who our left and right tackles are going to be Saturday night.

I was fearing that moment during the Texans game, too. I was thinking, "Is this going to be that game I was there when Flacco threw that career-high 6 picks against Buffalo last year?!"

But, knowing Joe and witnessing Joe, I know he's done some good during games that mattered the most.
