Max, I sure hope it continues. I have my doubts but I’m rooting for them. I agree though...the OL coach and Greg Roman have done a really good job with the scraps they were left to deal with.

Yeah, OC's have been a mess here for years and years going all the way back to the Billick era. But I am impressed with the offensive line coach and also what Roman has done for the ground game.

Nice win. Hope they play as well the next 2 weeks the way they have the past 3. I was glad to see them sit and rest Collins. He was getting hit pretty hard and the run blocking was more difficult against the Browns' defense. I don't need to see him get hurt when the game is in hand. Good running by Buck too. Crazy on that play where Joe got whacked. Wish they'd take that play out of the book.

Completely agree. I think this has a real good chance of being a loss.

And let's not forget that Antonio Brown, Bell, and Ben are three of the best as they've proven over several seasons now. Pitt's D stunk too. And yes. 38 points should have won it.

The Steelers’ inactives are quarterback Joshua Dobbs, offensive linemen Daniel McCullers and Matt Feiler, linebackers Ryan Shazier and Tyler Matakevich and defensive backs Joe Haden and J.J. Wilcox. jeff.zrebiec@baltsun.com

I thought Haden was out for this game?

Then I'll start to believe.

Hate to say it but looks like a Pittsburgh win this week. I just dont think we can stop Bell, Brown, and Ben. They have too many weapons especially with Jimmy Smith down. Plus our offensive line still needs to prove itself in protecting Joe. And their defense has given up way even less ypg this year than us. Steelers 24 Ravens 13.

I foresee the refs going wild in this game calling penalties.

Ray did say something (finally) that makes some sense but I think whomping on a defenseless player who’s not involved in the play should be forbidden. I’m thinking particularly about the Hines Ward block.

Well, before I eat the fruitcake I'm going to have to see some week to week consistency. BUT, I've never been this tempted to eat fruitcake before.

Hit the nail on the head.

...he's a leader... http://www.baltimoreravens.com/videos/videos/Wired-Teaser-Mike-Wallace-Got-the-Rock-But-Still-Wanted-the-Touchdown/32107283-9e32-4b0d-adde-ea8cf0ed5a85

Actually, I'm speechless after today. I now have no idea what this team is going to do week by week. Really glad to see the offense turn up the gas for a change. Long, long overdue. And did somebody finally find a way to light a fire under Joe's ass?

With this year’s team who knows? The offense will suck and the defense will shine. That’s about all I can predict. Oh and it will be boring as tsyl says.

They should let all of these guys go. The only one that hurts is Wallace and he can't stay young forever. They need to devote this year's draft to the offense like they did with the defense last year. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bs-sp-ravens-news-notes-free-agents-20171121-story.html Sylvester, I love those picks. But like you said, is the FO up to the task?

I'd certainly consider that an A draft...do you really think we have a shot to get all 3?

Perriman’s biggest problem I think are psychological. And it is proving insurmountable for him. He really needs the help of a sports psychologist and even then he won’t be a top receiver. We’ll have to cut him loose.

Good one!

All this does is give the Biscut amo to make no changes... This team is terrible, the defense not as good as the 3 shutouts, yep, that is impressive. Even though they lead the league in picks, in redzone picks... Good quarterbacks will pick them a part, run all over them. Fine, just fine, nothing to worry about. Where is that picture of kevin bacon in animal house at the parade.... Just fine, stay calm... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That is exactly what I'm afraid of---Bisciotti doing nothing because 'Heck, we made the playoffs with a ton of injuries...no need to fire anybody.' Sheesh!

Good find Max on the scouts...that could explain a whole lot.

They have managed to put the franchise in cap hell; that's for sure.

Looks like 8-8. Might be good enough for playoffs (that's pathetic) and bad enough to keep us out of the top 10 for the draft. They have to nuke this team in the off-season with just a few exceptions. We actually need about 2-3 losing seasons before we become a legitimate contender (for a Super Bowl) again. They have to draft with brains too. If I'm not mistaken, we do our own scouting for the draft. Several other teams are in a scouting combine. Has anybody seen if that's returning a better dividend than we're getting?

According to SportTrac, if they release him post-June 1 in 2019, the dead cap is only $8 million. To find it, you have to have to hover the cursor over the $16 million figure. That means his last season would be 2018 if they went that route. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/cap/2019/ In any case I don't think they should wait until 2020.
