PrintJoin Baltimore Beatdown in posting your thoughts, comments, cheers and frustrations as the Baltimore Ravens fly into Heinz Field to face the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. It's going to be rough going for both offenses and it looks like it will also be another classic battle of which defense controls the game and wins the turnover battle.
So keep it here and watch out for the 2nd Half 'Open Thread' once the first half is completed.
Both Paul Kruger and Terrence Cody are active the first time all season. Ravens inactives today are: Cory Redding, Josh Wilson, Prince Miller, Arthur Jones, Edgar Jones, Jared Gaither, Tavares Gooden and Donte Stallworth.

Who's ready for some football?
I’ve got a good feeling about this game.
I thought I had an appetite for destruction. Turns out, all I really wanted was a club sandwich.

With Webb ad Cary Williams
Wilson is just not needed yet as he still is learning the system.
aka 'Rexx'
What was up with that kickoff?
Why ddn’t he send it into the EZ like he did all last week?
aka 'Rexx'
Zbi just cannot run forward!
Why is he still returning punts? There has to be someone better on this team at that.
aka 'Rexx'
Defense looked good so far
When will the offense show up?
get the squealers
everyone in cincy is pulling for the ravens
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
So much for being in
FG position. Need points on this opening drive to set tone of game. Coming up empty is not good at all.
aka 'Rexx'
What a
waste of a good drive.
When will the offense show up?
Agreed
ends up being a positive for Steelers and negative for us! Mason did everything he could to put us in range.
aka 'Rexx'
that was rough
kindve expected tho considering we are kicking to the open end of the field, right? I feel like thats one of the toughest places to kick from
Flacco is in rythm
which is good, first few throws always the hardest for him
Scary that in 2 years,
it now looks like we’ve made the wrong decision on the kicker out of Training Camp. Could be an idea for a post this week.
aka 'Rexx'
Way too much time for Batc
He is good enough to beat us if we give him that mount of time.
aka 'Rexx'
Words can't describe how much I hate the Steeler's
The Orioles are going to open a can of Buck-Wieser on your ass......
sigh
we still gotta stick with our gameplan for now
We get nothing
they score seven. Tale of two different teams so far this season. That WAS the difference in what I’ve seen all year from both teams in a nutshell. One team misfires over and over again and the other capitalizes and wins.
Any more missed opportunities for us and this could get ugly.
aka 'Rexx'

Anyone see that?

Old Reliable!

Well look who finally decided he wanted to come in!
Good ’ol Rice

Um no, that would have been a fumble if he did

Heap should have had that
But his route running is so slow and he never gets YAC anymore. Love to see Dickson make some noise.
aka 'Rexx'
Boldin id Golden!
When will the offense show up?
Damn already end of 1st?
Good games always seem to go by fast
The Orioles are going to open a can of Buck-Wieser on your ass......
Our secondary sure doesn’t though. a PI and a 40 yard pass completion allowed. But yeah, I would love to see our offense keep doing well. Just keep the damn ball away from Troy.

there was no way for fabian to defend that throw
it was perfect, just the way it is
Grown longer arms and swat it out of Aantwaans hands

Why are you guys calling for Cundiff's head already?
He’s missed a 46 yarder and a 51 yarder. Not extremely bad
We’re not? I like Cundiff, I think he can develop into what Stover was for us over time. I still wish we had Stover though.

Call me irrational, but
Willis looks a lot better right now than Rice has all season. Every touch is five yards.
aka 'Rexx'
We need a big running back. You can’t just go speed all the time

Willis just juked Farrior out of his shoes.

i think we will see a little rice on passing downs
but its willis most of the game
might as well be safe with him
especially bc willis is playing so well and were playing the steelers D. Our offense is looking good against them tho im very impressed thus far

Rice looking good
When will the offense show up?
I would love to get 7 before half-time and comeback after half-time and lead a long TD drive.
The Orioles are going to open a can of Buck-Wieser on your ass......
Ravens need a score
TD would be a powerful statement.
You saw it too?

Correction, Defensless receiver
The Orioles are going to open a can of Buck-Wieser on your ass......
What?! bull-shit that was a defensless reciever penalty
The Orioles are going to open a can of Buck-Wieser on your ass......
Flacco is the king of Lobed passes.
The Orioles are going to open a can of Buck-Wieser on your ass......
Flacco is s so afraid
of making a mistake, he has no intention of prolonging the play and making something happen.
aka 'Rexx'
Agreed
He can’t ever become a great Red Zone QB.
i feel like hes done that a bunch
and it hasn’t been called. im not complaining tho
by TurtlePower88 on Oct 3, 2010 2:18 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh well a FG is nice too. But we get the ball after the break, so it isn't too bad.
The Orioles are going to open a can of Buck-Wieser on your ass......
up 10-7 and getting the ball back
not bad bmore, not bad
Whatever it is I will take it. Flacco looks great defense looks great.

Flacco first half 13/20 145 yards no INT’S

MEGATRON
just made an incredible catch. This one will count. He clenched it between his hands when he came down with it.
"Cam, we're not going to have any issues because we're going to be winning."
--Joe Flacco
"Just win baby. Yeah, I stole that."
--Jon Gruden
I saw that
Great catch in double coverage by Megatron!
Are you seeing something I’m not. Is half time over?
