I am not responding to anything, however, I am getting texts messages from a bunch of people I know who are Steelers fans. It's more like a group text between them all, but they make sure it's going to me also. They are sending everything from links to YouTube showing clips of hard hits on ravens players by steelers from previous game to texts talking about little Ray being a wife beater and big Ray being a murderer. These people are full of hate.

Good on ya for not stooping to that level. They're jacked up, probably hoping their head coach makes a tackle or two as well. Ha! Wish 'em a good game and root on our men to victory!

According to weather.com, there is ZERO chance of rain from now till 10pm and 20% or less from 10pm till after midnight. Not sure what this means for the Ravens, maybe a better advantage at the run game? Here is link to the weather - http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/USPA1290:1:US

Hope we're victorious for a myriad of reasons, including letting Monroe have a shot to experience a playoff start next week!

Apparently, Ozzie told him not to steal all the Alabama recruits.

[Inqui]

Well, I'm off to work. Enjoy the game, and hopefully our 5-0 run whenever I miss at least a big chunk of the game continues.

 

If we lose, it means I gave up on waiting to get home to watch the recorded broadcast and found a way to switch it on in the office. I apologise in advance.

Looks like Ike Taylor is inactive for Pittsburgh, but Polamalu is up. I'm not sure if either of those are good or bad.

Polamalu can still make big plays but has lost a step in pass coverage.  So that's a wash.  Ike Taylor has been getting beat deep repeatably.  It would be a plus if he was active.

Taylor was apparently a healthy scratch.  Smart move by the Steelers.

In Pittsburgh?

Looks like there'll be one less familiar face to this rivalry starting next year. 

[Rav'n Maniac]

Had to break open the purple and gold bag to crack the half gallon of crown royal my son gave me for Christmas. Here's to the Ravens and to all the fans here! Go Ravens, kick some black and gold butt.

[ratedr]

Wish Taylor was active lol.

 

Jim Harbaugh is there, I wonder if he's helping Kubes call plays.

[RavensFootballFan]

Watching pre-game show, field looks like it is in good shape, considering the weather earlier. 

[ratedr]

Annoying how everyone is harping on the Bell injury, as if we're not missing both starting tackles and down the our 20th CB.

As much as the Bell injury is big for the Ravens chances.  The loss of our two tackles is much more concerning for our offense than Bell is for the Steelers.

I hope Jim will talk John out of going for it on 4th and 1 tonight.

100% especially since he only had 23 yards in their 20 point win.

[RavensFootballFan]

Hines Ward said he tried to shake Sugg's hand earlier, Suggs refused. 

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Let's go!

It doesn't quite work like this... luckily.

Can you blame him

[The Raven]

I hope Jim will talk John out of going for it on 4th and 1 tonight.

 

Why? We've converted 4th and 1 more times than not this season...........

[ratedr]

Win or lose, I just want a decent performance. A slow start here will turn into a blowout, we're not playing Connor Shaw this time.

[ellicottraven]

Time to go! God why do they have to bring in Hines Ward to make even the coverage so one-sided? Man! I just can't wait to get this game over with in a victory! I just like to physically rub hot peppers in all their noses after we beat those Squealers!!! Let's go Ravens!! Make it happen for the Baltimore regional pride!
