Week 9 - Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

[Ravenseconbeast]

If we are ever in the endzone territory, Pitta should get some look.   He has been targetted once throughout this whole season @ endzone.   

Pound the ball, do not throw 50times.  Have some faith in our defense.  It just is not going to work

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Glad Ben is starting.  Tired of the Steelers fans' excuses when we beat them with their backup.

[Rav'n Maniac]

With risking Ben playing, this game is a heck of a lot more important to them than the talking heads are saying.

[JO_75]

This is the most healthy we have been in a while. Smith Sr, Suggs and Stanley/Yanda are active. 

Final prediction: 

Steelers 10

Ravens 27

[Ravensfolyfe]

Getting close to kick off hope we play lights out.

[Dr. Kelley]

I'm going to watch this whole game with the john cena theme song on loop and get drunk because I just don't even care anymore

Didn't the last time the Steelers won against us they had a backup quarterback starting?

[poescrows]

I recall a couple/few years ago they hurried Ben back, from a foot injury, to play us. Our D hounded him and he was limping worse when the game was over than when it started. Shouldn't need to blitz to get him rattled today. Just blanket those receivers and a 3 or 4 man rush will be enough to get it done. I figure even though he's playing, he's not gonna be running east/west extending plays as usual.

Yes. And last year we swept 'em, once W/ Ben, once W/O.

I swear Jimmy better be following Brown from start to finish

[Aunka_Beatmon]

BEN gonna drop!

1) Over the past 3 we've put up 49 points

2) You ignored the first sentence and chose the three games in which we weren't healthy - which was the entire point of the first sentence.

They have a decent o line. We won't touch Ben today. Our front has been awful at getting to the quarterback without blitz, and pees is too lazy to compensate for that. He will eat Cheetos on the sideline knowing any loss today will be put on the offense no matter how poor the defense plays. Our defense will get shredded today, I guarantee it.

No. But I hope Wig getting an extra week to get his OC groove on will change that. Bottom line, gotta establish the run...Joe throwing over 50 times has never worked.

Its not going to happen.  AB will score several times.  

We just need to play our game.  And we can win.  We got plenty of talent.   Just play RAVENS football!

We won't establish any run today. Our o line is garbage and nothing has changed to improve it. 

[Ravenseconbeast]

worse thing we can do is get erratic and throw 50 throws.   Joe cannot win this game for us.  The team can!   Lets get back to being a balanced football team!

It seems like lately whoever has the backup QB wins the game lol.

[Ravensfolyfe]

Lets see how our Ravens play at home after dropping the last two at home.

Actually, our O-line today should be an improvement over the past 3 weeks.

No way getting our starting LT and the best guard in the league back will help our line

Well, you can't blitz if the secondary can't cover, so...............we'll see.

I don't know if this is a Pees problem - we just don't have anyone that is able to get to the QB.  Suggs is old and coming of an injury, Doom is old and injured, and the rest of our guys are relatively mediocre while occasionally flashing.

I was worried coming into this season that we hadn't done anything to help our pass rush, and unfortunately it appears to be the undoing of our season.  Can't expect our secondary to cover for 6+ seconds since we can't even get to the QB when we send the house.

If we lose today, we might as well lose out and try and get ourselves in a far better position for next year.  Sucks to admit it, but its the truth.

That what we said LAST year.   Its going to be the same thing dude.   3-4 is not bad.  This is the RARE time where AFCN is sucking bad right now.   We have a relatively easy schedule.  Our TEAM is healthy!!!

This is the year we must do well.   5-11 and hoping we get 'draft' picks is what Brown fans expect.   We are not them.   

We have a great defense, we got our guys back healthy.   We are STOCKED!   Lets win this game, and if not we still got long schedule ahead.   

We just need to play RAVENS football
