181 yards rushing

Who da thunkit?

 

I dont know but it seemed like Joe threw for 300 yards, I was shocked when they put up the numbers of 166 and 2 td's, 109 passer rating.

 

And I loved Simms comment on Sundays game referring to us with opening game jitters and learning a new offence..So yea will take the mulligan vs Cinncy.

Yea...the Browns ran them over so I figured the Ravens would.

What was important is the ground game put the O in good 2nd and 3rd down situations. Then they pounded a worn out Steeler D in the 4th quarter....controlled the clock so no comeback was possible.

Even when Troufant had that sweet run to the 1 and missed getting a TD we went "Good...at least 3 more running plays to kill clock."

 

As for the long ball that was absent. What I saw was a Steeler secondary that would have been murdered if the Ravens sent Jacoby and the Smith Brothers deep on the same play. Joe wasn't getting pressured. If Kubiak sends all 3 deep, at least one guy would be wide open every time.

Totally concur with the running dominance ... up until the red zone and within the 10 yard line. I wonder why we couldn't punch it in.

Not being greedy here but thinking we could/should have scored 2 more touchdowns. Kicking FGs instead of TDs.

 

Anyone else ?

Without a doubt the TD's mean everything.

FG's leave the door open for comebacks.

 

an awkward moment for Joe Cool on one fine Thursday evening....
