The Ravens seem to be tanking the season on purpose - as well as trying to nauseate the rest of the NFL's fan base by trotting out yellow pants w/ their purple jerseys...

The injury bug has setup shop in Baltimore, this season, and they're only one game ahead of the Browns.

Suisham is no longer on this roster.

I FULLY EXPECT a win by 30 points on Sunday.

Post 'em if ya got 'em...

 
This game should be a blow out even being in the division and at their house. But, that's why they play the games.
 
I don't give a **** if the Ravens bring out Becky "Icebox" O'Shea from Little Giants to start on defense for them. The Ravens will play us hard.

I still say the Steelers need to be prepared for a dog fight. The Ravens always alarm me. MT does NOT coach against Hardballs very well. Hardballs seems to always be one step ahead of Cool Shades. If we go into this with the wrong attitude on who this team is we will be embarrassed. We need to go into this game like we are playing the Ravens of 2012. We need to be vicious and attack the **** out of them. We need to run the score up to 50+ points and mud stop their *****. Anything less and we will be walking out of Baltimore with our heads hung trying to figure out who these Steelers are.
 
Who will be the first to mention "trap game?" You know, coming off an emotional win and facing an inferior opponent and all that. Oops, I guess it was me. LOL

LOL at Ward waving in the medical staff before the play is over. That's awesome.
 
Ravens D will hit hard, but they lack the talent to get consistent pressure, or to defend our receivers. They have an unproven QB, which means he'll probably get 350 yards, but other than that, they lose.


This game will be ugly for them. It will be a laugher by the 2nd half.
 
I expect us to pull away in the second half with a comfortable win. The Ravens are bad and we are peaking. Every game is a PO game for us.
 
Clausen should start and is better than Schaub. He has a much better arm. He only has a few targets. Aikan is the only WR, they use the FB a lot out of the back field (more Schaub than Clausen) so far. TE are all banged up and their running game is struggling with Allen and West. Their line is real bad. On defense, Dumerville is still somewhat trying, other LB's are okay and Heath should have a huge day along with crossing routes as they can't cover the middle of the field. I see know way they can defend our offense. Not sure if Jimmy Smith will be playing and Webb did not look very good at safety. Expect a lot of going for it and trick plays.

But more than that: expect a large B&G contingent. Most fans want to lose from everything I hear and am reading. They think 3 pick and Bosa will put them back in contention.
 
I think the rats would love nothing more than to **** on our playoff run. The tram has to be focused and prepared for a dogfight
 
Win the game, stay healthy.
 
Ratbirds want nothing more than to be the thorn in our sides in the run to the playoffs. It's divisional.

That said they have no place being "in" this one. Other than being chippy they should be crap.

Clausen is not better than Schaub. Clausens typical game is about 200 yards 1td (if lucky) and a couple picks. He had ok numbers last game because Aiken caught a hail mary at the end of the first half, take that fluke play away and it's his average numbers. Landry Jones is better than Clausen ever will be. There's a reason he's 1-13 as a starter. I'd be willing to bet he's thrown more td passes to the other team than tds for his own team. And this is coming from a Notre Dame fan. People are still riding his high school hype train for some ungodly reason. The guy is just bad.
 
If the Ratbirds were going to play hard this is the week they will. Clausen is not a bad QB (not great either) but is better than what they had. I feel we need to come out pissed off after the game and how they ended up embarrassing us. Lets embarrass them!
 
Pats have secured a bye, thus they don't need a win against the Jets. The Ravens hate us with everything in their being. They'll play us hard because they can't do otherwise, just as we would them. It's part of why I respect them so much.

We NEED this game. The fact is, Us beating the Broncos put them in a major hole. They are now in semi-desperate mode. They HAVE to beat the Bengals as the Chefs can actually put the Broncos out of the playoffs. That means we have a real shot at the division and if things break for us, there's even a shot at the 2 seed. Who could have even thought that a few weeks ago?

Therefore, cut ALL the talk of an easy game. That's what I was talking about earlier this week and peaking too soon. The Steelers have WEEKS to go yet. This **** is just beginning. Now they have two teams that hate their guts and would love nothing more than to ruin their playoff hopes just for the sake of being spoilers.

And after that, it gets HARD! Don't even THINK about easy. The Ravens will flat out kick their ***** if even one of them starts thinking "easy".
 
We're playing this guy next week...
