How's Everyone Feeling About This Week?

Feeling a bit nervous. Its a must win.They are champs and always play us tough despite personnel changes.

We are able to win as long as we play to our abilities.

Suggs&Dumervil vs. Beachum & Gilbert is my biggest fear. We win that war we win the Game!!!!!!!!!!!

And Ben lives to play another day!!!

Cajun-

 

Apprehensive. The Steelers played better last week but they can't count on Flacco throwing INT's that the rookie did last Sunday. I still think this a rebuilding 9-7 or 8-8 team but hopefully I will be wrong.

 

How am I feeling? The same way I feel every week my STEELERS are playing........LETS WIN THIS ONE!!!!!!!

 

I'm indifferent I suppose but I do like the fact that Tomlin seems to be taking the bull by the horns and laying down the law on guys. Maybe that will be what we need. The good thing is that the Rats aren't that good either. If we were gonna go 2-16 and I got to pick the 2 games we were allowed to win it would be against them. So even if this winds up not meaning anything in the big picture going forward I want to win this game just based on principle.

 

I dunno, I am glad they are off the schnied.But like a lot of other posters the matchups scare me TSIZZLE owns the Steelers.
Can we stop Ray Rice? The Steelers and the Ravens are very similar to me, both in transition. Hell the Ravens lost 2 HOF's from there team. I think both teams
will be about 500 at seasons end.

 

Can anyone remember the last time we put a team away for good, say in the mid or late third quarter? It seems we always let teams hang around till late in the fourth quarter to where a fluke play can beat us after leading the whole game. It was the same under Cowher. If our offense is lucky enough to get 10 to 17 points ahead, its like they (tomlin & co.) put the brakes on and say whoa, that is enough. We never had the killer instinct these last 15 years or so. Bellencheat would score 80 against you if he could. Maybe I'm imaging it, I not sure.

 

Ray Rice is having a really bad year because Flacco doesn't have the go to guy that can stretch the field and therefore they just stack the box and take Rice away. I just hope that trend continues.

 

Yeah and also I'm not sure that Rice is actually healthy either.

 

Not all that worried about the Ravens offense v our D, more so our Offense v Ravens D that concerns me.

 

The records never factor into this game for me. I HATE playing the Ravens. I am a nervous wreck leading up to this game and will probably start doing shots well before kickoff. Its going to be a bloodbath, as usual, but I think we have a fair shot of winning. I just hope we dont lose anymore players to injury...

 

I am somewhere in between and I am not going to buy into the positive vibes just yet. I want to see it in more than just one game against a mediocre Jets team.

I think it is a hard hitting ugly game and the team that stays the healthiest wins. And neither team has had good luck in that category this year. We can't afford any more injuries for several weeks.

 

Ravens can't afford to take a step back against the SteelersOctober 14, 2013|Mike Preston






The Ravens can do more than just beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. They can bury them for the remainder of the 2013 season.
The Steelers, one of the NFL's most storied franchises, breathed a sigh of relief by defeating the New York Jets, 19-6, Sunday for their first win of the season. Desperate teams look for something to cling to in gloomy situations, so this is a good time for Pittsburgh to play the Ravens.


The Steelers (1-4) are at home and if they win, they could get back into the AFC North race. But if the Ravens (3-3) want to stick it to their old rival, they win Sunday and quash any serious attempt by Pittsburgh to climb into the title picture.
"Right now our focus is on the AFC and Pittsburgh, and we're going to take care of business this week and get rested and get healthy, and we'll be ready to go," Ravens defensive end Arthur Jones said.
It's not a situation where the Ravens can overlook Pittsburgh, or any other team, even though the Steelers are in last place in the division. The Ravens are two games better, but both teams trail the first place Cincinnati Bengals and the Ravens are tied for second with the Cleveland Browns.

That's still tough to comprehend (both Cleveland and Cincinnati). But before the Ravens travel to Pittsburgh, they have their own problems to solve.
They are still miscommunicating in the secondary and the offensive line can't pass (19 sacks) or run block (72.2 yards per game). A team which once prided itself on running the ball has become a bunch of nomads looking for an identity.
"We just have to execute," said Ravens running back Ray Rice of the team's offensive struggles. "We've got to execute at a high level. It's a problem that we have to get fixed and we've got Pittsburgh next week. [Green Bay] played a good game and the defense played a heck of a game for us."


"We would have loved to have helped those guys out, but things didn't go our way," Rice said. "As crazy as it sounds, we still have a shot at our division. We've got to go to Pittsburgh and that's the most important thing right now."
The Ravens and Steelers have a lot in common with the most interesting parallel being both teams gave lucrative contracts to quarterbacks who are good, but can't carry teams. Unlike a Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, they don't make other players around them better.

Both teams are starting to see the fallout from not having other vital parts.
Pittsburgh, though, has been struggling longer than the Ravens. The Steelers don't have a proven running back and use a tandem of Le'Veon Bell and Felix Jones.
Pittsburgh has the No. 31 rushing attack in the NFL averaging only 61 yards per game, and the Steelers are No. 27 in points averaging 17.6. Antonio Brown is the No. 1 receiver with 41 catches for 498 yards, but Pittsburgh doesn't stretch the field much except to occasionally try to sneak Emmanuel Sanders down the field.

 

This week, at 4:25 PM is our Superbowl. That is how I'm looking at it.

 

I am in-between. I'm excited to see them play, but I'm not sure if they will come out with both fire and focus. It seems the team has come out with greater passion, in certain areas, in each game. If that trend continues, and they prevent committing offensive turnovers, then I believe we will continue to see a Steelers team that more closely resembles what we are used to.

 

I think it's fine as part of a balanced diet, with regular exercise.

 

2 years ago we looked terrible against them, but made the playoffs.
Last year we beat them with a back up QB, but missed the playoffs.
Records don't matter, should be a slug fest.

 

Yep. I really hope he does that again.

 

I actually heard the reason that chinese people have eyes like that is because every night at supper they are constantly grabbing their face saying "oh no! wice again!" JUUUUUST KIDDING!!!! JUUUUUST A JOKE!!!! I LOOOOVE Asian people! I'm the most hardcore gamer here and Shigeru Miyamoto might be my favorite non-family member human being on this planet along with Hideo Kojima and Shinji Mikami and Hayao Miyazaki. I just COULDN'T let that go by! LOL!

 

M*(^%$$@#$%)($#%%$$$%$$%$$#@!@^*(*())!!!!!fRiCkIngBpAcKeRsAtsTuPiDcLoWnS:darkness:!:matrix:

 

I'm nervous, because they come out with the same tired approach to the game as before. They are all must wins, it's just another game, etc. The old Steelers would just come out and say they wanted to beat them down. Show me some spirit guys!

 

FEELING GOOD, WINTHORP.
