I agree. Perennial bad management.

Time for the Ravens to pony up a nice package for Todd.

Here they go again! The City of Cleveland is suing the Browns for the latter's intention of moving out of the city to the burbs to build a new domed stadium. The Browns are seeking to invalidate the 'Model Law' that forbids a team from leaving the city proper.

The Browns (with props to Dee).

Wandering problem child...different teams, same issues.

True, Dee. We handled them pretty well down here. I hope the same holds true for a trip to Buffalo.

Does sound like they have issues, as we do too, with pass defense. Lamar should be able to have success. I think Henry and Hill will keep the Bills honest on D as well. Our biggest problem is our own pass defense. This might be a higher scoring game than we're used to seeing.

So then we're liable to see more passes than with the Steelers...or will the Bills' under-sized backers be hard pressed to stop Henry? Or is it another 'pick your poison dilemma for them?

BTW...what happened to TJ Watt on Saturday night? Looked like he just disappeared. Is Rosengarten that good now or was it Monken's schemes? Or a little of both?

I agree but is Howard Stephens enough to hold down Shakir?

That was a riot!

It'll be a nail-biter. Stevens allowing so many passes to be completed against him really scares me. He just won't turn around and locate the ball. Allen could easily chew him up as Wilson did, only more often. Our offense will be OK with Lamar and Henry carrying the ball, and with Andrews, Bateman, and Likely catching. Be nice if Flowers could make it back, but I don't think he'll be available. We'll have to run the ball and control time of possession to keep Allen off the field because when he's on it, he could rip our cornerbacks, Humphrey excepted. I have a hunch we'll pull it out, but I don't feel confident enough to make a prediction.

Well, well, well, the Ravens dominate Pitts whose defense was overwhelmed in the first half of a playoff game. That's 5 straight losses for Tomlin's team at the end of the season. Their off-season should be quite interesting. Meanwhile, the Ravens chug along. Henry running like he's 23 years old and Lamar doing all the rest. We did miss Flowers though. I'm rooting for the Broncos tomorrow and another home playoff game here.

I might as well ask for it all: a win over Pitts and no more injuries. The Steelers' Defense will be the defining unit on the field. Watt, Heyward, and company must not be allowed to set the tempo in this game and that's a hard thing to stop. If Jackson can keep from being bottled up, we win. He's got both running and receiving weapons to choose from. He's got to keep focused and then we'll be alright. Looking forward to this one big time. Still wishing we had Flowers available.

I could be wrong but I think Wilson plays until the third quarter or later depending on how game is going. If, somehow, we get up by 2 scores I wouldn't be surprised to see Fields in the second half. A big 'if'.
