Baltimore/Pitt - what do you like?

[pumpuup]

27-9 Pitt is my guess....not even close, just like the Chargers game but they won't give up a last minute TD to make it look respectable.

Hmmmm..... Steelcurtain77. Must be a diehard Steeler fan to come up with a 27-9 final. It's not going to be a blowout, but wishful thinking.

Chargers D cannot be compared to the Ravens D.

Bogus trends? Just Facts:

its pretty clear that pittsburgh has a lot of advantages heading into the game.

1. they still are more well rested. the ravens have not had a bye since week 3.
2. the ravens are banged up. suggs, rolle, mcclain, and that big ass o-lineman.
3. at home
4. players already talking about winning one at home finally, dont want to lose 3 afc titles at home in last few years.
5. Ravens record against the steelers in pittsburgh is absolutely horrible. the only win they have there in the last decade was right after ben had his accident.
6. the ravens are slowing down. they are old. tennessee thumped them in stats. score is only thing that matters, but how many times can they do this before they get caught???
7. steelers o line improves every single week. they still arent good, but improving.
8. FWP, back at full force. add moore and you have a very solid run game.
9. hines always f's some raven up, who will it be this week?????
10. flacco, pinning your chances on a rookie. you know they arent going to be able to run the ball.

i'll tell you right now that nate washington and ***** miller will have big games next week.

Chargers D cannot be compared to the Ravens D.

Yeah, that's what the NFL MVP said this weekend.

vs Baltimore
19/28 271 yards 3 TD's 134.7 rating

vs San Diego
32/44 255 yards 2 TD's 1 INT 92.5 rating
25/42 310 yards 1 TD 90.4 rating

Looks like you can't compare the defenses....

 

[KevinFrenchick]

gotta go with pitts. Baltimore has alot of injuries to key guys.

Fruit for thought

It took overtime to decide the first meeting between these 2 teams 23-20
Game 2 was decided in the last minute in this meeting 13-9

These teams could not be more evenly matched offensive and defensive Both have a great run defence and both have a great run game
Both have a good pass defence and both have a so so at best pass offence

Although I like Pitts 2 win this one, any more than a 4 1/2 point spread in this one is to much to give

WOW I can not believe the line is -6... how can anyone not take a chance on the +220 ML ravens

 

[2PLAYSMAX]

Lets be honest:

Titans should of won the game at least 30-10

Ravens got 3 TO's, a fucked up no call on the play clock, and still only managed 13 pts??

Steelers will put at least 24 on the board.

Raven might get 10.

This game will be over at halftime.

These two points I respectfully disagree with. The Ravens had to earn those takeaways with hard nose defense tightening up in the redzone. If a team runs up 300+ yards in offense and gets no points that is still good defense when its all said and done. Secondly the game being over at halftime. I don't see it. I don't see the Steelers getting up anymore than 10 at the break and that in my mind isn't enough to bring out the fat lady.

Again just my .02 Gl on your wager.

 

[Steelcurtain77]

Yeah, they really earned that interception off Collins back foot with the guy WIDE open underneath for a touchdown.

Collins would not have been on that back foot if the pressure wasn't coming up front.

 

[Steelcurtain77]

What pressure? He could've made a ham sammich on every pass attempt.

 

[2PLAYSMAX]

What pressure? He could've made a ham sammich on every pass attempt.

I don't have a tivo memory bro, but if I recall that particular INT you are referring pressure was coming. The Rolle pick?

When are people going to give credit to the ravens for Forcing turnovers??????? 8 turnovers in the Playoffs.......sheesh.........anyways go ahead steeler fans rant and rave how we are injured and haven't had a bye since week 2..........sheesh

 

[Steelcurtain77]

Dude, what the hell are you talking about? What did the Steelers vs Titans game mean this year? Pittsburgh is playing the AFC Championship game at home so the answer is NOTHING.

Actually, I guess it meant the Ravens get to play in the AFC Championship because they would've lost to Pittsburgh on Saturday if Pittsburgh beats Tennessee 4 weeks ago and secures the first seed.

Overthrown balls that Ed Reed intercepts because he only plays defense like a centerfielder don't earn your defense credit.

 

[goode05]

you make no sense are all steeler fans this dumb?

 

[terps1313]

Yeah, they really earned that interception off Collins back foot with the guy WIDE open underneath for a touchdown.

Seriously come on. No one is going to respect anything you say when you come out with this blatent homerism. If the Steelers did the same thing to the Titans people like you would be the first saying "good D's come up with big turnovers."

I will be the first to admit we were outplayed in the game, but they made big plays when they had to and got the job done. Something Pittsburgh cant say when they went into Tennessee a couple weeks ago.

Turns out it didnt mean anything. But they played as though it did mean something and got it handed to them.

And please tell me what Pittsburgh would've gained by beating Tennessee????????
