Here we go again....

No running game...Rthsslxxssbrrgrrrr on his ass...and besides....Brown's only scored 1 TD against the Ravens in 2 games this year. Icy rain and snow Saturday night will wreck all this nice theory and feel snug "Steelers are really scary and unbeatable" crap out.

To be the best, you have to beat the best. I like it. If the Ravens make the playoffs after playing this schedule they will be a very tough out. The rest of the North will have a similar schedule, so next years key is having a great winning percentage in games with the North. Do that and it's playoffs!

I don't like restructuring too many contracts. That's a quick path to Cap Jail and mediocrity. A few is ok, but not for large amounts of money to create Cap. You can't buy a Super Bowl these days. The Ravens are OK because they don't do this.

Right on RavenMad. What the Ravens need, and must have right now, is for this line...with Hurst... to take up it another level and play like the 2012 unit. For 4 games...Oher and McKinnie played great. and Birk made all the right calls and adjustments. Does this 2014 group have it?

Steve Smith is bad to the bone. Check out this teaser for Ravens Wired tonight... http://www.baltimoreravens.com/videos/videos/Wired_Teaser_Smiths_Fantastic_Exchange_With_Ref/cdffd6d2-982f-4a69-8afd-726f2352fb68

"Every village needs and idiot."

50-50 Tampa, the Jets and the Browns found ways to beat the Steelers. They are not the nasty Steelers of old. Of this 50-50, I'm leaning towards the Ravens. The Ravens will go as far as this offensive line takes them. That's the game right there. I'm not worried about the D. One other thing: Kubiaks offense is very predictable for defenses. He has to change things up. He can't work the 2 TE's like he wants to and that is one cornerstone. They have to block and they can't get open or be the same weapons like they could be if Pita was healthy. He can't try to run when defenses are run blitzing or blitzing up the middle. It doesn't work. So then the D knows he's going to try screens and roll out to the flat...and they are ready. He has to come out differently calling the plays because the heat will be coming all game....because that's how you stop Joe. Don't give Joe time and have tons of guys in his face. I think Kubiak and the coaching staff make the adjustment so I like the Ravens chances.

It's not that bad guys....

NGata will be back and the Steelers will not be able to run. Then Pees will unleash the hounds. But I do agree. ..Brown will do damage.

The winner of this one will go all the way. Go Ravens!

Bell's out so the Steelers have issues too. They have plenty of issues and weaknesses. Bring on Rthsslxxbrrrgrr!

The D is playing good. And Just Remember...the Ravens lost 4 of their last 5 games heading into the playoffs their Super Bowl season.

Guys...this is one of those "even a blind squirrel" things. Remember the 4th and 29 against the Chargers that launched the Ravens to the playoffs and eventually a SB victory? Well...I thought San Diego got their revenge when the Ravens failed on 3rd and 9 with a little over 2 minutes left. Make that and I think the Ravens have a clear path to the playoffs. Instead we had to gut it out. I never thought the Chiefs would beat the Chargers. The football gods thought otherwise.

I doubt if the Chiefs can beat the Chargers. Charles is not 100%. But Daniels is a wild card in the equation. Maybe the Chargers catch the Baltimore Flu and make him look great.

Agreed. Even though making the playoffs looks bleak, 10-6 is a decent record considering the injuries. It's a real crap shoot finding winning QB's.

Merry Christmas Everybody! Let's hope Santa has a nice present for us Sunday.

Wow...it's bad but not this bad guys.

Rivers does have 2 bulging dics in his back...of course that make his recent performances all the more amazing.

Mikey is spot on....

crickets....

Can you tell I'm pissed off and biter?

And now the 2 offensive tackles are in walking boots. We know what happens when the Ravens line falls apart. They lose. And look ugly doing it.

We know what happens when the Ravens can't run or don't run. They lose.

I hope Joe isn't going Andy Dalton on us. It sure looks like it.
