PrintI hate every one of you purple goons. Now it's time to throw down. Week 16 @ Heinz Field.
Righteous
Nothing gives me the 1000 yard football stare more than knowing that the ravens are next up on the schedule. What injuries will Steelers stars face after dealing with the ravens dirty play? What sort of whining will ray-ray bleat out in the locker room? What sort of nonsense will Malor spout? What if the ravens win, which is always a likely scenario? It makes me sick thinking about it.
What if the ravens won the AFC Title game last year in Heinz Field? I couldn't imagine the intolerable horror I would feel on a daily basis knowing we let the ravens take our ticket to Tampa. I will say this, hosting the ravens helped us prove that the AFC North is the toughest division in football. Having our rivalry featured in the biggest game in the AFC has made me respect the ravens as a football team. I'll always hate you though.
The ravens are like the bizarro Steelers. They've clearly been created in the Steelers' image and their roster and strategy are designed to beat the Steelers above all else. I fear that with today's signing of Mike Holmgren as President of the cleveland clowns, that team too will turn into a tool of vengeance, hell bent on stopping Steeler domination. You know that guy is still bitter about XL. All the crying in the world hasn't changed the score book though.
So anyway, ravens are up next. I fear a repeat of the last game, without Dixon's ability to throw the ball away. The Steelers' pass D is like swiss cheese right now, so if flacco curtails the bonehead plays, I foresee a long, painful game for the Steelers.
That said, the ravens' pass D is banged up too. Lardarius Webb out for the season I see? I think the Steelers depth on WR will help. Then again raven fan favorite Hines Ward may be out, so we may see # 14 Limas Sweed on the big stage, either redeeming himself, or putting the final nail on the coffin of his NFL career.
What can the Steelers do to stop ravens wide receivers from making embarrassing plays against them? What can flacco do to stop getting sacked at the worst times? What can Mendenhall do against the ravens defense this time, at home? Will ray rice posterize the Steelers on 4th down again to help win the game?
I can't believe the Steelers took the ravens to OT without Big Ben. That was tough watching that game, it was almost like a college game with the QB play we saw. There's no reason why the Steelers can't get all 2007 Monday night and lay a beatdown. We can't lose with the throwbacks!
hopefully not all 2006:
BTW, I don't know if you guys noticed, but the Steelers aren't dead yet. They have hope. They want a wild card and the ravens are in the way. Good luck on Sunday.

How good is Mike Wallace? The dude gets better each and every week. How the hell was he not only able to beat out Sweed, but just flat out destroy all aspects of a WR compared to Limas?
When Ward retires in 2-3 years? will Wallace be the #2? He certainly looks like it. I see atleast 2 Pass Interference calls coming from the Ravens in this game when trying to cover him.

"How good is Mike Wallace? "
I’ve been pleased with his performance this year. After book-ending the game last night with a TD on the first play and another on the last, he truly is “60 Minutes”. Normally wide receivers don’t make an impact rookie year. Normally Steelers rookies don’t make an impact, so he is truly special. He is a baller and wants to live up to the two SB MVPs on the squad.
If Ben plays this week like he did last week, it’s over for the ravens.
I believe Troy will not play. He may surface for the game in Miami. I’ll be there!
What about Reed? I didn’t see if he’s back yet. That would be great to have him sit out.
BTW I’d probably take Rice over Wallace. I will most likely despise that guy by the time his playing days are over.

"is james harrison long snapping again? cause we all know how that went last time…"
we can all laugh about that now since we still won the SB. The only fallout was I couldn’t talk schmack to one of my managers.
I think the Steelers will recall the guy they had to cut this spring because the dummy got in a motorcycle wreck. I guess he’ll get another shot.
Not just anyone can be a longsnapper, but if you have a week to look, someone will take the money and do a decent job. The problem with that was it happened in the middle of the game.

I find it ironic
that you say the Ravens play dirty. Take off the bias-focals.
dirty is in the eye of the beholder
I’m almost at a point where I just think everyone has dirty plays sometime, but I wanted to rile you guys up so I put it in there.
"It was an attrition football game and you know we like that."
I will say that while our guys take their shots at times
I have never seen receivers get mugged as much as by the Steelers secondary (who somehow always get away with it… hmmm). You should really look into signing Frank Walker after this season – if you can teach him the secret of not getting caught, he should be perfect for you.

At this Point
“now” as you say, a toss up, really. It depends who can limp out there the quickest; and now I see your receiver corp has taken a big blow as ours is dinged up also. (And Ward may be out also????) So the players roaming the secondary, for both teams, on offense and defense, are going to be iffy. Real iffy. Be interesting to see “who” for the Ravens will be playing dime to cover “whomever” for the Steelers that will be their fourth receiver… Conversely, if Washington and Clayton are still down for us, I am curious to see whom we run out there…
They should just disallow DB’s and WR’s this game and play 7-on-7 in the box…
Sweed has had maybe 5 balls thrown his way this season.
Ward may be out, but we signed Joey Galloway in his stead. We still have a crafty vet to sneak behind your LB’s, and juke your DB’s out of their house arrest anklets.
"Chris! That's a terrible word! Pussywillows..."
-Lois Griffin
Ahem, Pot, Kettle, Black...
DB’s house arrest ankles??? The only Ravens in any sort of legal trouble that I can think of is Suggs… Again, I could be wrong or forgetting about somebody…
It is your QB who is potentially up on rape charges…
Settle down there, slapnuts
This IS a shit-talkin’ thread, and so what if I’m Black?
I was in a rush yesterday when I posted that, and couldn’t think of anything funnier for Galloway to juke them out of.

It is time to get revenge and sweep the Steelers this year. You bums lost my respect when you lost to the Browns. If you want to read about a real team, visit Baltimore Ravens Chat
Prediction: Ravens 24 Steelers 17
Don't forget to check out my blog at http://baltimoreravenschat.blogspot.com

"You bums lost my respect when you lost to the Browns."
I don’t blame you that was horrible. No excuses. That lowered my expectations. But the door to the playoffs is not slammed shut. If Troy comes back things could be different.
"It was an attrition football game and you know we like that."
Troy will be gimpy either way. I’d rather have him back there protecting his injury and playing 75%.
Starks looked good Sunday…LOL. I’d put Kruger at DE and burn the crap out of that jug head.
Starks has actually played pretty well this year
His low point was probably @ cleveland

what does it matter if the black and yellow do beat the ravens, as long as we beat oakland next week we’re ahead of you in the playoff race. so enjoy watching the ravens in the playoffs steeler fans.
If we beat you, then you beat the Raiders
you still get in as #5 seed, we beat you then the fish, we get in as #6.

I see the Steelers got another BS call on there winning drive Sunday. Some incidental contact between GB #26 and Holmes or Moore about 5 yards off scrimmage.
How about the soccer dive by Ward after he ran into the LB for pass interference. Kepp playing like little babies Squeelers. Your receivers throw there arms up for pass interference every play. All we need is for some sorry crew this Sunday to listen to all the tire burners in the crowd and we have a complete Squeeler game. Your games are ugly becuase the Refs can’t decifer what’s BS and whats real.
Sure
I guess that’s what you call “selective memory”. I didn’t see anything in your post about Harrison getting molested all night and never a holding call on GB’s O-line.

"I see the Steelers got another BS call "
First off, just to refute your comment, 92 was CLEARLY being held on Rodger’s first touchdown pass of the game. I saw it and then later the announcers mentioned it. Clear as day. So I don’t want to hear it. We’re used to it of course because it happens all the time. It’s really a statistical anomaly. The Steelers went 13 games last year without getting a holding call for the D. This is documented.
Second, please explain to me what possible incentive the refs have for helping the Steelers while destroying their credibility?
"It was an attrition football game and you know we like that."
Quit crying about Harrison.That’s all I hear from you guys. He gets held every day and every night? Give me a break. He doesn’t get held anymore than anyone else. The league is onto this old man 1 year wonder. 1 and done. He’s a man of the scheme. Change scheme change cut 4 times Harrison.
what about 2007? He singlehandely destroyed the Ravens in 2007. See pictures above!
You think making the longest play in Superbowl history was just a fluke? A crucial play that helped deliver an unprecedented 6th World Title?
I’ll admit though, not as many game changers from 92 this year.
"It was an attrition football game and you know we like that."
Unfortunately
It takes five sticks of dynamite to knock Ben down, that is why. Buck-ninety-five DB’s coming off of a corner blitz bounce off him like ping-pong balls… Flacco + fifty good pounds + a motorcyle + a wacky dating life = Ben.
The key to betting Pittsburgh is getting Ben to the ground before he releases the ball. Their running game is pedestrian, their defense is not what it used to be, their offensive line is prayer waiting to turn into a disaster, and teams can score on them. Ben is what is winning them games. He is almost Marino-esque in that regard except with two more rings than ol’ Danny Boy.
I know you all want to see this guy!
His hamstring won’t let him be at 100%, but I would be surprised if he didn’t play at all.
