You know the drill...we've got work to do. Gear up:... it will be in the low 30's with 15-18mph winds. Perhaps drink some hot tea today so that you are in good shape to yell "No mean No!" This is for "all the marbles" guys...the AFC North Championship is on the line. The Ravens will take it, but like I said, "We the fans, the 12th man, have work to do tonight." Brady spread them out and clobbered them. If ever a game was built to use the offensive weapons in Heap, TJ, Mason and Boldin this it it. Running is always hard on Pitt. Spread them out. "Running is not always hard..." I think Oher and Chester will play so the O line is back together. Landry should go, but I doubt McLain (although I heard he was running Friday). I think the D will raise havoc with that Steeler O line.

Unleash The Hounds!

I love it! Do it all game.

Here's one from Joe Palantania... What's your keys to the game?

Be nice to see some Raven pull a Seymour on Rthsslssxxssbrrgrrr.

Very good year considering they were supposed to go nowhere. This is a young team that grew this year. Next season should be nice. Yow really screwed things up...glad she's gone.

Rthsslxxsssbrrrgrrr won't be able to concentrate once he sees.... He'll be wanting to flash them the whole game.

Yea...I'll tell you the gear Sunday...can't make my mind up yet...depends on the weather.

The game will be won by the Ravens at the line of scrimage. The Steelers O line will break and the Ravens O line will hold up just enough to allow Joe some big plays. Steeler D line is weaker than the Ravens. The 12th man will make an impact. Home field advantage makes the difference.

No tailgating but we can meet at the Unitas statue...I'll let you know what time on Sunday. I should be down there by 6:30. I woke crack any jokes about Mexico's team...I swear!

Finnegan got thrown out too. Johnson was beating his ass as usual.

The reporter was pushing him and badgering him. They should be fired or not allowed to interview players. I've said a lot worse after a bad day at work.

I'm in 115...maybe we can meet before the game.

The Steelers have players hurt...the Ravens have players hurt...it's a push. Neither team is worrying about it...they're going to get it on with what they got.

Concussions are wierd...I've had them. Can't you tell? You can be like Landry that day...smiling...seeming to function.."Oh it's just a headache"...and then 3 days later you realize you can't remember your phone number.

Just a guess...they were saving Ray for now...this final stretch...December, January ect. He looks fresh and healthy. I think the rythmn thing is more a product of the O line not run blocking as well as last year. Having Oher and Chester out hurts. They miss Gaither too.

McLain's wearing a walking boot...so is Rthsslsxxbrrgrrr.

OK.

I thought it was a strong effort and solid team win. As usuaul there are concerns... True...it's a 'hot/cold' Ravens offense. 3rd down conversions are a real problem...3 for 12! Tackling was poor.

At times Bouldin had a linebacker on him! That's 6 points every time. Whatever...Joe said Mason was one on one and he had to play pitch and catch...it was too easy. Freeman reminded me of Derrick Anderson. You know...the D looked decent today. There were some tackling lapse's...

Should we get our hopes up?

The Ravens left a lot of big plays and points on the field from my vantage point. Bouldin and TJ were open deep regularly and Joe didn't try to get them the ball. The Refs saved the Bucs from embarrassment but the Bucs were never in the game. I thought Freeman was a better QB but he really threw some garbage. "We fooled the shit out of them on that play!"

Smith...216 yards receiving and 4 TD's. WOW.
