Sorry we struck a nerve. :P

I lived with a guy who had a terrible towel. The shit of it was he was actually a chiefs fan. The stuff I did to the towel when he wasn't around would make truckers blush. I fucking hate those rags.

I don't know 1) if I could afford tickets - we'd be swimming upstream against a legion of bandwagoners; 2) if I'd be in any state to drive home the 4 hours if we didn't win. Of course, seeing Flacco, McClain, McGahee and the defense pick apart the Colts in the playoffs would be priceless.

I was at the game in Camarohead a few Decembers ago where the Ravens beat the Chiefs... a Chiefs fan friend of mine told me that KC hasn't lost at home in December in like 7 seasons (until us, of course). So who knows, maybe it'll happen? (and I hope that post made sense. nursing a hangover and watching cheeseburger white rush in a TD)

This warmed my heart:

There's no way that the Cardinals will win. They're a one-and-done playoff team -- what a joke. The NFC West sucks.

I'm finally getting around to watching the game for the first time and one of things I've noticed is that T.O. is running "pouty routes" -- half-assing it, jogging, et cetera. If I'm Wade, or (God Forbid) Skeletor Jones, I'm sitting down that worthless piece of shit and telling him that there's a guy on the other team who's playing his ass off with one arm. He's not bitching. He's not crying. He's quietly putting together one of the guttiest football performances in the league this season. T.O. may think he's God's Gift to football, but he's a whiny crybaby with alligator arms who drops waaaay too many passes to complain about not getting the ball. I'm glad we stomped those douchebags in their house. I hate the Cowboys.

I get to watch the game for the first time... I had to follow it on my phone. I was at my inlaws house for a Christmas Party and they didn't have a cable provider that carried the NFLN. So, thanks to TiVo, I get to watch the slaughter.

I hate Jerry Jones. I'm glad there's a huge clusterfuck down in Big D(ouchebag).

Okay, for the record, I fucking hate the Cowboys. I hate the "America's Team" nonesense. I hate how everyone you know has a friend who doesn't know dick squat about football, but is a Cowboys fan. I hate Texas. I hate how even Cowboys fans can't name players outside of the "stars", when fans of nearly every other team can tell you who the longsnapper was in any given year. I hate how ESPN strokes off about the NFC East (and Brett Favre). I fucking hate the hype, too. It's ok for them to have down years, but don't manufacture excuses for shitty football.

Walker in his second year in the defense, plus a drafted WR, plus addition by subtraction (Willis) should be all we need. I'm sure we can get what we need in the draft. Fortify the secondary, get a big-play WR and maybe a big 'ole DE. I trust Ozzie will rock the draft.

I'll have what you're having.

No shit. My take is the total points surrendered, too. 165 points means that you don't run into FG Range and grab 3 points. You don't let people score often, or even at all. Have the Steelers pitched 4 shutouts this season? Nope. But the 2000 Ravens did. That's dominance. Don't get me wrong, this Steelers team is good, but they're not the 2000 Ravens. Anything you read to the contrary is to help sell papers.

The intended ball targets also had a case of the dropsies. If McClain catches the ball instead of trying to make a break for the end zone first, it's a different game. There were an awful lot of woulda, couldas in the game. Unfortuantely, we came out on the shit-ass end of the stick.

Exactly. Willis had some stone hands again today... and we had a lot of drops as a group. I think we're one 6'2" WR away from being really competitive. That, and I'd like to see Clayton run some timing routes... with his speed, a quick pass could grab 5 - 10 yards, easy.

Walt Coleman is our El Guapo.

50 drunks in a bar would agree -- he didn't get the yard. No way, no how. It lead to 3 points on the drive. The TD call was fucking stupid. It lead to 7 points.

That's two gifts from the zebras this game... holy shit.

Man, I hate Hines Ward.

We had to score.

I never thought I'd say it, but Special Teams are stealin' the show today.

I still can't believe the spot was upheld. That was bullshit.

I'm f*cking sick of hearing Stealers fans saying that they're not getting any respect and are disgusted that they aren't favorites to outright win. Fact: Winning on the road is hard. Winning at the ATM is harder. I don't care who you are - you're ice skating uphill. But hey, if the Stealer fans need the respect angle to get hyped up for a game, more power to 'em.

I have no faith in other teams helping the Ravens after the Cowpukes coughed up that lead in the 4th quarter against the Squealers.

I have supreme confidence in the coaching staff to make sure that Joe is adequately game planned for all the stuff the Pittsburgh D is going to throw at them. Harrison scares the hell out of me - that dude can bring some serious pain. But if we can hit all of our assignments and give Joe Cool more time to scan the field, I think we'll have a very fun afternoon. This is a QB duel. Neither team is going to run on each other - we know that. It's going to come down to which QB can make the fewest mistakes.
