Great game, finally got that first W of the season. I really hope Steve and Michael is alright. If Camp can stay healthy I think we found our #2 wr.

[RavensFootballFan]

I don't care if anyone thinks it was an ugly win. Ravens/Steelers games are hardly ever pretty. I will proudly take the win because the defense never gave up and earned it the hard way with two late stops in a row which were huge. I saw a lot of good tonight despite some problems. Forsett was awesome and proved once again when holes are open, he is gone. Aiken is slowly showing signs of getting open and catching the ball, he played his heart out tonight. Camp was good too, he is tough to cover. Boyle and Williams played hard nose football, proud of'em putting up a good fight. Will Hill did great. The whole defense pitched in which is nice to see. A lot of good, hoping Monroe will be back when we play the Browns next. Hope SSS and Camp are ok with a long rest coming up. Keep working on Waller. Good game boys. Love it y'all didn't give up. Proud of y'all. Rest up and aim for #2 next Sunday.

A win is a win. There was a lot to critique from a player and coaching standpoint but... i'm not going to do that right now. The ravens finally won. I'll talk about that other stuff later on.

 

Go Ravens!

I love Will Hill. Such a steal for what we are paying him. May be the best safety in football.

[MarioDrama]

Super lucky tonight, but we won it. If Perriman is out for a long time Ravens should trade for a speedster. Tonight it was so tough for guys to get open. We need someone who can stretch the field. Ravens will have so many close games like this, this year if issues aren't addressed. If we are looking at the schedule right now Ravens have a shot at going 10-6 and sneaking into the playoffs. Losing to the Cardinals and Seahawks. Every game is winnable we just have to get the run game going, give Flacco time to find receivers and Pees needs to dial up a good game every game. I think he's in the hot seat, and Trestman as well.

Never underestimate the value of special teams. This win was particularly satisfying as I watched it in a house full of Iron City fans in the Alleghenies.

[RavensBaltimore]

One thing that no one is talking about is Will Hill made a game saving tackle on Bell after he broke one up the sidelines. Hill was running after him, toward the sidelines, and Bell cut back. So often on those plays, the defender will get his ankles broken, lose his footing, dive after him, and miss the tackle, but Hill brought him to the ground. Otherwise, the Steelers would have had a TD or a chip shot FG to win the game. Sometimes one forgotten play can be the difference between a win and a loss, and in this case, may have saved our season.

The defense and the running game won this one. Steelers however are really bad so we can't get too overjoyed here. But it's a little justice, winning a game we should have lost while losing the first 3 we could have won.

Unless Ozzie gets us a couple of good receivers we are in big trouble. I'd start with Reggie Wayne. There are quite a few guys out there that could help us.

But the defense really showed a lot of heart. Will Davis may be the piece they were missing.

I left the game feeling the Steelers lost it rather than the Ravens won it. Tucker made up for his misses against Denver and Cincy. His game winner in of 52 yards in Pittsburgh late on a cold night was special. I posted earlier that the loss of Suisham would cost the Steelers 2-3 wins this year and this was one of them. Thank you Lord.

We did do one thing we were supposed to do against this weak Steeler defense....RUN THE BALL. We had 190 yards rushing and that gave us the chance we needed to win the game. Forsett's 150 was very encouraging. Our offensive line dominated the Steelers up front. Good thing because Flacco was less than special. If you told me Flacco would turn it over twice and Vick not once I would have garuanteed a Steeler victory. Thank god their kicker stinks.

[Benjamin13]

If this game was against anyone else, I would dwell on all the things we still did bad. But since the win was over the Stealers, I'm gonna shut up and just enjoy it.

Re-sign the Tuckman now!!!!

[Gorgee3]

Great effort! Great Job! I see you Steve with that block for Campanaro. I see you Campanaro whit that touchdown play! Get well soon both of you. Max Williams and Boyle moved the chains. Aiken, you had your flashes, reminded me of Jacoby Jones after he catches and runs. Rick Wagner, what a tackle to save that pick 6. Dumervil! Forsett said it to the world that to him Dumervil is the defense veteran leader at this point with Suggs out. Don't even forget about Justin Forsett and the blocks provided by the offensive line. Tucker classic game sealing filed goal. Webb looked good. DARYL I SEE YOU BOI. YANDA NO MORE NEEDS TO BE SAID. Z' Smith nice back to back plays. Jimmy Nice shutdown on Antonio Brown. Will Hill keep it going with Lewis. It was a hard grinded game.

That was an intense game.. I don't think I sat down the whole second half..

Hopefully this game was the start of a roll.. let the uphill climb start here.

Nice win Ravens!!

[AZRaven520]

Another thing.. can you imagine the type of Shh-tuff that Harbaugh would be facing for going for the fake FG if we lost.. gutsy call.

[verified]

I love our new corner davis, he should be our new 3rd and put arrington at 4th corner.

[stuckonaboat13]

I like the Fake field goal call , Pitt just made a nice play on it. What do you have to lose at 0-3

[BMoreRelentless]

Yea!!

[stixfix69]

The guys were all swarming to the ball, that's Ravens Defense....No idea why it took so long to get that swagger, but glad they got it back to beat Pit....

[DENNYK]

A great win at the right time. This one will really help the mental attitude that the team needs now to go the rest of the way through the season. Don't like seeing Campy and SSS on the hurt list though. Hopefully, by the Browns game they will be good to go. We need to get Campy in more games, The kids has the tools and should be a starter. A great win that should bring some smiles to many faces this morning.

[SSRavenFan]

Tremendous win, Ravens. How much better does everyone feel today?

That was a complete win.

[DrinkmoreBeer]

The only difference between this game and the first three was that the opponent choked and the Ravens didn't.

[EliteRavens]

Will hill.. enough said

Well, and the defense didn't choke.

Tucker is a Playmaker,and a Clutch Kicker..Go Ravens!

The look on Roethlisberger's face when when Tucker booted the winning field goal was priceless. He looked like we was going to cry! lol. OK, 12 more wins to go! GO RAVENS!

[trevorsteadman]

After you get that first win it is easier. Hopefully Smith Sr. isn't hurt and can play against Cleveland and luckily we get an extra couple days for him to recover. Same with Campanaro. Besides the interception, Flacco played smart. Young guys stepped it up. And Will Davis made two huge plays I saw last night, he looked phenomenal why did the Dolphins give him up? Definitely should be getting some snaps at the #2 corner position. Ravens should trade Webb and a 5th round pick for Jeffery since the Bears want to rebuild. Probably won't happen but you know every fan on here wants to say it.

I Love a dejected Worthlessburger...  it's worth it's weight in GOLD!  Bwa ha ha ha.

[Raven552]

Note to self.. never turn off a Ravens game with less than 2 minutes to go.  I was wonderfully surprised this morning!

[baltimore1975]

How about Ozzie gives Tucker the game check that Flacco will be receiving? I have more confidence in the kicker than the $120M QB. Nevertheless it does feel great to get the win circa 2000 style.
