Steelers forum praises Ravens draft and appreciate our franchise

Ravens

I hate to say it, but these guys are going to be a nightmare to deal with this year and many years to come. They are absolutely all in on defense. Their defense is incredibly talented and deep across the board to be able to stymie any type of offense for years to come.

They have done nothing on the offensive side of the ball. Maybe their plan is to have a ball control offense this year and start adding offensive weapons next year. Either way, they will give us problems. They do every year even with less talented teams.

Re: Ravens

The Ravens are a great franchise. 

If I didn't hate them, I'd like them.

I feel the same about them.

Some strong language but not as bad as in their game threads:

It's seems like a fairy tale to see the Steelers praise the Ravens. You would never catch me writing that BS nice stuff about the them. Lol but in all honesty it's nice to get some love from them

[polynesian15]

As a foreigner looking in I can appreciate the Steelers - perhaps because they're similar in many ways. Tough, hardnosed, cold-weather football team in the same division as us.
Don't get me wrong I get the whole division rivalry thing, but I can still respect them in a sense unlike the suspect cheaters from New England.
An incredibly succesful team no doubt, but I've got NO love or respect for them. Just a descipable bunch of ... from the owner to the QB.

Iron sharpens iron if it wasn't for them I dont think we'd be as good as we have been

I don't feel like they had a strong draft, but the Browns and Bengals did. But draft grades mean nothing, in three years time the Browns and Bengals are still going to be watching the playoffs from home.

Honestly I feel like the steelers had one of the strongest drafts out of all 32 teams. Hurts to say that but I can't lie. Esp for where they were choosing.

Truth.

I hate that team, but I LOVE when we play them.

Without fail it is the most intense and exciting game of the season.

the pats proofed again that defense wins champships tho it doan hurt when a team goes inta a shell still defense is not what it was u canna hit playas like you culd and pass rules have changd. u must have  good d but doan thing u can featur it as we are tryin to do at the expend of dinamic O. it aint 2000 any mores

[cobrajet]

I can understand their train of thought. With what we did in free agency and the draft, I think our defense is going to be something special this year. They historically pride themselves on defense in Pittsburgh, like we do in Baltimore, so I think many of the Steelers fans see what we have done on defense and know that our defense is going to be pretty damn special this season.

[rossihunter2]

the steelers first 2 picks were really great picks and i imagine they would be high on our board - it's funny that they said that it felt like we took their guys just ahead of them but it also felt like they would stop the slide of anyone we wanted in the next round in just the same way...

We hate the Steelers because they are just like us; we don't respect Patriots because they crybaby cheaters.

[ellicottraven]

The Steelers are our real rival and is why I dislike them vehemently. The Bengals are the armpit of the AFC North man! They have no class from the owner all the way down to their draft picks. Who with an iota of morality would pick Mixon or a Burfict? Not the Ravens and I'm near certain nor would the Steelers. We build through the draft and coaching by selecting quality players that are warriors when they play each other. In my mind there are 3 top of the line franchises in the AFC - Pats, Ravens and the Steelers. In the NFC - Pakcers, Seahawks and the Giants.

It is sort of a paradox ... I hate them, I want them to suck ... but at the same time I understand that if they did go through a drought, it would feel like something was missing. In the end, the league is better when we're both good and both ripping at each others throat 2 or 3 times a year.

and even when one of the teams sucks/struggles they still can be a spanner in the works - like when we swept them as a 5-11 team

I saw someone say this on that forum and it didn't hit me until that person said it:

If I didn't hate the Steelers, I would actually like them.

[atomicfront]

They are just saying this because we have been down the last couple of years and they knocked us out of the playoff race.. If your main rival starts appreciating you that means you have started to suck.

I appreciate the steelers and I'm pretty sure they don't suck... if anything, when your main rival compliments you it's probably a sign that you are a respectable and worthy opponent

I have not seen a single post from you that could be considered factual, sensible or insightful. Not one.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

I don't like the steelers.. But they play the game right. They play hard, they play fair, they develop guys right. I didn't like their draft(Watt and Schuster are overrated. Though I like Connor), but am certainly glad they like our draft :P.

I can't stand the Steelers, but I do respect them, if you know what I mean.  Most of the time they play fair, although the infamous 'trip' wasn't an accident.  Total belichick move

Well good news for you only have a few more days to read them.  Maybe the Ravens will be good again and they can go back to hating us and not respecting us.

If the Steeler's players state something good about the team that is one thing but if a rival fans are saying good things about you it is because you were once good and are now are bad.  When we were both getting in the playoffs most years none of their fans had one good thing to say about the team.  Two straight non-winning seasons and suddenly they respect us? Come on.

Hmmmm

 

@Cville-Raven I did not trip him, it's not true, It's BS I did not trip him I did not. Oh hai Mark. 

 

Outside of that I think they play the game right. I can't stand them though. They have just as many rings as we do post 2000 so they need to shut up about having the most rings lol.

Most definitely.  If it wasn't for them, I don't think we win that bowl in 12.  Pats might have given us that extra boost too.

I know how you feel.  You don't want them to do well, but if they don't the match up means nothing.  Unfortunately, we need them and even if they don't admit it, they need us.  It's like Batman and the Joker.

Lastly, they know what we've added.  Teams might not respect our offense, but I will guarantee a few are worried about having to face our defense.  Another CB and two pass rushers... Christmas came early.  Something tells me we might go offense next draft...

Re rings I see your point, but put that on the other foot and we were the ones with the most rings ...........

They made the playoffs the last 2 seasons and we didn't.  They don't respect us anymore that is why they appreciate us.  If we knock them out of the playoffs this year they won't appreciate us at all and will go back to hating us.  This has to be the stupidest thread I have ever read.  

Did you guys appreciate the Patriots when they didn't report who was eligible in our last playoff game and humiliated us on the way to the Super Bowl?  Go to a Steelers game in Pittsburgh when we were good with a Ravens jersey on and see how much they appreciate you.  Man reddit can't be worse than this forum.

I'd have to agree here, kinda liked Tomlin until that move. Lost a lot of respect for him and his smug grin. But I still hate the Pats more - do you remember Brady's sliding tackle on Reed. Still infuriates me to this day - such a tart Tom is.

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

I don't like the Steelers but they always bring out the best in the Ravens. You can always count on a intense game.
