Even though we're missing our most important player(Jimmy) I think we can still at least be competitive.

I hope Perriman at least actually does something this game.

Where was Perriman last game vs the Eagles?  The Ravens really don't seem to know how to utilize their personnel properly imo.  Perriman/Wallace are the speedsters to take the top off of the defense.  Got to incorporate him in these games.

I'm on mobile and can't see the entire list (too lazy to search for it), but I wouldn't be proud to claim all those names.

The Steelers have definitely drafted well and they usually do a pretty decent job of fielding a competative team, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better drafting GM than Ozzie, and that's not an indictment on the Steelers; rather Ozzie has just set the gold standard. SOMEONE has to be the best, after all 

According to this statistical analysis, based on drafted player production the last five years and showing how the teams have ranked the last two years based on that model...The Seahawks have drafted the best lately (ranked 2nd and 1st)  and the Ravens (12 and 25)  and Steelers (23 and 7) are very close with the Steelers having a slight edge. http://nypost.com/2016/04/24/ranking-from-1-32-the-nfls-best-teams-at-drafting/

Santa...I've been good all year. I'm not a coach, so I'm not going to tell my team what game plan will beat the Steelers. I'm just a homer that loves his home team. I'm not sure my team can do it on their own, so I'm hoping for a little Christmas magic. Steelers are a great franchise. No one can  dispute that. Just hope it's our time. I'm a  fanatic...aka a fan. I'll be in front of my TV, rooting hard and just maybe hoping for a little Christmas magic.

 

from last year...We will show up...we will play hard...we will win...that is all...

 

GoRavens!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently recently, Eric Decosta has been taking over more. Not really sure what to make of that because the drafts have been a bit meh at the top outside of 2014. 

No surprise to see the Seahawks at the top. They just truly know how to find guys to find their system.

Watching "The Final Drive" video, Garret said that the game will be broadcast nationally on NFLN.

Is there no regular network carrying that ? I am going to be in Massachusetts. I can listen on Sirius, but that is hardly the same. 

 

That right there is reason enough not to go. 

[ellicottraven]

The closer we get to the game, the queasier I feel. We need to win this game for Christmas' sake! The Steelers are ascending, are on their field, feel just as desperate for a W and the crowd will be raucous. We need to play error free offense, try to run the ball, win the time of possession allowing our D to get adequate rest and pound the Steelers offense every chance we get. Tough outing but it can be done if we call a flawless game and Joe doesn't have any mental breakdowns and plays well. 

[wizard1]

This is a very easy game to predict. Since the Steelers actually have an offense and we continue to play Har-ball the outcome is obvious. Bell puts up big numbers against us and this game is over by half time. 34-14 Steelers and so the farce ends.

Also no need to predict the Bengals game since it is totally irrelevant and nobody really cares anyway. In the off season I hope everyone takes the time to stand up and say it's time to replace the Harbaugh regime. Only then can the Ravens begin to heal and move forward.

Since I am a die-hard Ravens fan I will be back next year and shall continue my rants against a dysfunctionally run John Harbaugh system of football and I will not rest until he is run out of town on the next thing smokin and takes Ozzie Newsome with him.

Coming from the guy who said we'd win no more than 6 games. I usually take your opinions with a real grain of salt, but when you throw out so much random nonsense your bound to hit on something sooner or later right? And the cinci game is very relevant if buffalo beats Miami Saturday, so yeah wrong again.

Well, he's been wrong most of the season so chances are he's wrong again.  lol

[Tank 92]

No matter who or who isn't on the field, this game always shapes up to be a slobberknocker between heated rivals. Add into the mix that it's probably played to decide the division crown and it truly has a playoff feel. Not going to make a prediction, but I think the Good Guys put together a solid effort Christmas Day.

GO RAVENS!

This game will shorten lives. Ravens have to run the ball and get a early lead. Tucker will be key as well. I honestly have no clue how this game will end.

Stop quoting the guy PLEASE. 

 

Put him on "ignore " and it will be just like he isn't even here.

Ever since Sami was abducted by aliens Wizard1 has been trying to take his place. Problem is, even when Sami was wrong he'd stick to his word. I miss Sami.
