Menudo Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 This is a must win game for the Steelers, and I hope they play like they know that. If they lose, they essentially fall two games behind the Ravens, by losing the first tie-breaker The Ravens are a 3 point favorite at home, so, the oddsmakers see these teams as pretty even. For me, it depends which Steelers team shows up. They have been very inconsistent. I'm very concerned with the offensive line play. This line was hurting before the season started, but, losing both starting tackles for the year and shuffling other guys in and out due to injuries is taking a toll on this offense. It will also be interesting to see how Ben's foot affects his mobility. If he isn't able to move in his usual way, behind this offensive line, the Steelers are in big trouble. This is a great rivalry game, for first place in the AFC North........this should be a good one. Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go !!!!!

buddahj Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) I'm rooting for a Steelers shutout or only TDs for the Ravens. Edited December 6, 2010 by buddahj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrumjuice Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I picked the Ravens for this one, defense good enough, QB good enough, at home. Playoff implications, Balt is better than Pitt for this one, Roeth makes mistakes and balt takes over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I am expecting a very tough hard hitting slug-fest. A big play may be the difference in this one as it should be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 A lot of PIT points but combined with a Wallace zero will be fine by me ... an early Christmas present perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I took the Ravens straight up, but it's really a toss up. What I really need is a MONSTER game out of Ray Lewis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Wow! 4 and 14 and the Ravens were going to go for it. That takes some ballz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbforbes Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I really don't know why the Steelers are in any way denying that that nose is obviously broken. Whether he puts it off until the end of the season or otherwise, he'll quite probably need surgery to fix that one. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

Menudo Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 The Steelers are going to have a lot of trouble moving the ball tonight. The offensive line is being dominated, and Roethlisberger cannot move outside of the pocket. Not looking good.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse now - though having to start at their own 1 is going to be awkward for the Ravens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) Pass coverage looks AWFUL. That is twice now on 3rd and long that Flacco just launched one, and found a guy running all alone. Defense needed a stop there, because I don't see them having any long drives tonight.

hezagenius Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Has Heap been back in the game since the first play? Looked like he pulled a hammy or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Has Heap been back in the game since the first play? Looked like he pulled a hammy or something. They announced that he wouldn't be returning. I don't like the outcome so far, but, it's pretty cool seeing Ben with a twisted nose and blood on his jersey, and Terrell Suggs with blood dripping out of his mouth. I love this rivalry.
