    Bell is the equivalent of makeup on a really ugly woman. When she takes it off you see what she looks like. We've seen this line tonight without its makeup.

    See you for the draft. I have enjoyed sharing the games with you. It was a nice season, but not wonderful. I am off, and will see you for the draft. If we win, let me know. I am out. I am having a rough time watching knowing the Pack may get to the Super Bowl and I will have to put up with this crowd in Wisconsin.

    It just seems like Ben is just average when the onus is on him. He needs a good defense and running game to augment his play. I could be wrong.

    How do you miss that face mask??????? Two sets of rules tonight. That wasn't the reason the Steelers lost tonight, but it was one of them.

    Well then considering both were there - maybe we should have taken Mosley???

    Right, wrong, up or down, that is why Ben doesn't get the same credit other top QBs do.

    I still think that holding call is bs against Beachum. But not one hold against Harrison.

    Very few QB's in the history of the league could have done much tonight.

    Shazier is really fast as we just saw. If he is under a different system next year (let's hope) he can do good things.

    Just couldn't overcome the loss of bell. The fill in Rbs did nothing to help

    This the Refs changed the tempo of the game. I'.m telling you. They were not going to let the Steelers win.

    This.

    There were plenty of opportunities to win this game, even playing as sub-par as we did. People will forget that, probably very quickly.

    Wow, that's crazy. Imagine a QB needing a team around them to win. Brady or Rodgers in Jacksonville = Johnny Football.

    Exactly.

    And if people think that doesn't affect how a team plays, they're kidding themselves. The Ravens knew they could get away with almost anything. We knew we'd be called for anything.

    I knew this was bad when they announced the head referee....

    How does that guy get this game?

    Yeah, I know. I'm an emotional guy after losses ..... It just reminds me of Favre late in his career. Again, I could be wrong.

    I feel you but it just is what it is. We got unlucky at the wrong time. It's obviously just not meant to be. I mean we score a td and it's called back on a hold. We get a first in the red zone and Ben gets a concussion, comes back in the game, and throws a Manzeil-esque pick in the end zone. It's just not meant to be.

    I have been saying that since draft night. We let the Ravens draft a perennial all-pro while we drafted a project player as a nickel linebacker.

    The bottom line is we didn't play well enough to overcome the vastly uneven officiating. Ben needed to play great and he played below average.
