Sunday could get real ugly

[vmax]

 

 

Traditionally, Steelers fans have made the four-hour drive from western Pennsylvania to buy between 3,000 and 5,000 tickets at Baltimore's 71,008-seat stadium.

But the combination of the Ravens' downward spiral and the Steelers' hot streak could translate to the best showing by Pittsburgh fans since 2007, which was the last time Baltimore played host to Pittsburgh after being eliminated from the postseason. Nearly half of the announced crowd of 71,353 waved bright yellow Terrible Towels that night eight years ago.

It will be a similar setting for Sunday's game, which was moved out of prime time because it was no longer considered a marquee matchup. The Ravens have lost their last two games by a total of 49 points, and their injury-depleted lineup resembles a preseason one. The Steelers (9-5) have won five of their six games and have a chance to clinch a playoff berth Sunday.

Baltimore is a 9.5-point underdog, which could spur even the most loyal Ravens fans to sell their tickets to fans of their most dreaded rivals. There's extra incentive for western Pennsylvania sports fans to come to town next weekend because Pitt plays Navy in the Military Bowl in Annapolis, Maryland, one day after the Steelers-Ravens game.http://espn.go.com/blog/baltimore-ravens/post/_/id/24663/will-baltimores-mt-bank-stadium-turn-into-heinz-field-east-on-sunday

 

The Steeler bandwagon that has been hiding out, probably are bold enough to show themselves now.

Not torturing myself Sunday, its going to be a massacre I'll be on the beach.

You've got to be a super-fan to go to or watch this game.

I hope you guys Blake all day Sunday. I hope the Steelers win but still I want him toasted so maybe Tomlin will finally pull the trigger and bench him. He is our weak link. That is all I wasn't coming here to rub anything in as the ravens season has been rough enough. Better luck next year see ya then.

SOMETHING TELLS ME WE ARE GOING TO SEE HALF THE STADIUM IN BLACK AND GOLD.

 

And chanting "here we go Steelers, here we go" all throughout and after the game too.

[RavenMad]

Come on guys. Football season only lasts a few short months. You got to watch every game no matter how painful it's been.

I'm going.

That's why I'm certifiable.

 

I don't want to miss the sweep.

Max,

 

My condolences With our JV team, Steelers win easy - by 30 + . Ben and Antonio & Co go off big time

At least we split the season series w Stealers .

[TBird]

And don't forget those Baltimore is Pittsburgh territory signs.

 

Haven't seen them in a while.

 

I'll be watching. The series hasn't been as much a stress as the old days

when my doctor wouldn't let me watch. I might have had a heart attack

but I will on Sunday.

 

Last year we got them 2 of 3 games including the most important one up there

for the wild card game. First win ever up there in POs for Ravens.

Come on guys. Football season only lasts a few short months. You got to watch every game no matter how painful it's been.

Too painful to watch, I'll DVR it and if its a close game I'll then watch it.

[vmax]

I don't want to see anybody on the roster next year who doesn't play well in this game.

I will sit with my Ravens program roster card and cross out the faces of those who can't execute and compete.

 

I will also accidentally spill my drink on at least 1 Steeler fan.

[cravnravn]

Don't be wasting a 9.00 drink on some Stealers fan, where's your mind.

[tsylvester]

Not torturing myself Sunday, its going to be a massacre I'll be on the beach.

 

 

Call me what you want, I may peak in a few times, but no, I would not go to this game were I paid to go, nor watch this game. I expect a game similiar if not worse than the Seattle game....

[tsylvester]

Come on guys. Football season only lasts a few short months. You got to watch every game no matter how painful it's been.

 

League wide the game is terrible, I can only take so much of it now. add in all the commercial breaks now adays, and no way I watch a terrible game....

[TBird]

Ditto on the commercials but I'm usually at a bar and guys turn to their drinking and

talk, not that they ever left their drinking, they're just not paying attention to the TV

and just drink and talk which is usually better than the game.

 

I'm thankful for this thread because I might skip this game. Don't think I can take all

that yellow in there. It will be ugly and I can't stand those smiles from those inbreds.

[vmax]

Love it!

Man, it would be poetic justice if Ravens could spoil their dreams.

 

I'm sure they will try.
