I'm glad we are getting key players back. I just hope we remain healthy the rest of the way. One game at a time from this point on. Go Ravens!!!!!!

[The Greek]

glad to see most of these guys are healthier and hopefully it gives the team a boost

[Flockster]

Get Joe some protection and we might make it. Three lucky wins out of seven. We are weak at critical positions. Old at some others. I have faith, but it will only get us so far. It comes down to one on ones. We're coming up short this year. 8-8 will be an accomplishment considering.

[MakeRavensGreatAgain]

Oh no, Shareece Wright is practicing

[JD08]

I've seen a lot of negative talk about the team, but as a fan I never count my team out of any game

[MissRay27]

Sizz is right we've seen that Ben movie Act1, stage right before. Joe needs to show us something, like some fire down his belly. We've grown tired of him just say'n this a tough game, we're all keenly aware of that.

[BigUgly]

For some reason, not feeling the same sense of urgency around this rivalry game as in years' past.  Not sure why.  Maybe its because the Ravens are down (though they have dominated the series the last 5 years), there is little media hype, or the players aren't calling one another out.  Perhaps Sizz, Yanda, Ben and Harrison are the only ones left who recall what these games used to be - physically and emotionally draining.  In any event, I hope the Ravens come to play.  This will define the season.

:-) Right?
Probably just in case someone goes down during the game.

How about Flacco just plays well for a change. He is an NFL too. He is the highest paid Raven ever. Just can't blame the Oline for all his woes.

It really doesn't matter with FBAJ behind center!

[ellicottraven]

The only chance we have is if Landry Jones' starts and everybody else plays poorly. If the Steelers score 20 points or more they win comfortably. The Goal is to keep them below 12 points for Flacco and the offense to have a chance to score more than 12. As long as we have Tucker and the special teams gets us good field position, we can win by scoring 5 FGs right?

[Ravensfolyfe]

I know one thing Wallace better show up like he wants to beat them.

[law215]

An absolutely huge game. I understand why Suggs and Big Ben want to play in it.
Suggs is near the end of his career so there is no way he misses this game. Will this be an old school hard hitting Ravens vs Steelers close game or a one-sided game? Recent history says it one or the another no matter what the records are.

If the Ravens win, especially if Big Ben plays, then the Ravens get a shot of confidence. If they lose at M&T, then head will roll at the end of the season.

I think the Ravens win this game. The flock needs to show up at M&T. We can't let the Steelers fans take over home field.

It's not like the Steelers have a great defense. They can't stop the run and their pass defense is average at best.

Give it a rest.

Go root for the Redskins.

Yes, blame the defense. Joe has led the Offense to game winning scores against the Raiders & the Giants only to see the D give up the game winning touchdown the other way. And he led the Offense down the field for the game winner against Washington only to see his WRs not make the plays on 2 perfectly thrown balls.

I've been trying to defend Joe this whole year, but can't anymore. He's been awful. I think we'll see a different Joe this week than we've seen so far this year, but if not.Well,yeah. Then we have a super sad year moving forward + some big questions start to pop up.

[sizzlingdoom]

Oh no, Shareece Wright is practicing

That's what I was I was thinking when I saw that. He might be the worst CB in Baltimore Ravens History, seriously. Yet we seem to be ready to send him back out there into the starting lineup. Maybe with our biggest bust Elam

[smalljaws]

A consensus of Steeler fans that I've talked to are opposed to Ben playing on Sunday. They prefer taking the loss over losing their QB for the year.

Shareece Wright is far from perfect but he's better than any other corner we have not named Jimmy Smith. Dont believe me? Replay the Giants game. He makes plays from time to time and is capable of holding his own. I like Tavon Young but he's still got a lot to learn. He's not ready to start guarding #1 receivers or even #2's which is understandable but I think he'll get there. Kids got that "dog" in him.

You must be REALLY new here...

[Rav'n Maniac]

I'm beginning to become concerned with the SSS injury. It's been 4 weeks since he last played and still being MIA is not a good sign.

We need SSS no doubt. Can you imagine if we didn't sign Wallace?

No, I don't believe you. Makes plays from time time?? WHAT? He made some good tackles in week1 which were cluctch. But coverage, he is straight awful. What did he do, give up between 4-6 TDS just in weeks 2-5!!! That would be bad for a couple of FULL seasons for a decent corner. Makes plays....JEEZ. Wright is not only not good, he is bad. He made Michael Crabtree look like Julio Jones. There's a reason multiple teams cut him last year. The 9ers cut him. The 9ers!!!!!!! Worst D in the NFL cut him

I agree.  He's not great like Jimmy Smith, but he is a respectable second corner.  Tavon Young is doing great, but he is best suited for the nickel corner role, not the outside.

[Bob21043]

Really think they should consider sitting Webb - he has looked bad this year. Trouble is, who do you play in his place? Elam? Yikes!
