Bring On The Ravens

Hopefully Bell is ok cause we need him to dominate.

 

Wish it was SD, as Rivers is banged up. Like how the D is playing, but will probably come down to the end as with most Steelers/Ravens games.

Ben will need to bring it. With the Ravens lousy secondary, the opportunity is there if Bell is not ready.

 

Can they dress Troy and still have enough for special teams and running back depth? Troy is always a Raven Killer in big games when the chips are down. He doesn't have to start just play a few snaps and pick off Ernie to take the air out of the Ravens for good.

 

Remember - and I am going to repeat this on here more than once this week-

The Steelers have NEVER lost to a divisional opponent in the playoffs. EVER.

3-0 vs Ravens, 1-0 vs Bengals, 3-0 vs Oilers, 2-0 vs Browns. Never played the Jags or Titans when they were in the same division.

 

We've had a lot of negative "firsts" under Tomlin and man I hope this isn't one of them. It's gonna be devastating if we lose to them. The thing about losing Bell to me is that we really lost more than a rb and a pass protector but we lost a great route runner and receiver and he has been a major part of our success. If Archer has anything to offer now would be the time.

 

I hope to never see the Steelers lose to a division opponent in the playoffs. EVER.


This isn't the Ravens team from 2008-2012. This is a team that squeaked in due to a cupcake schedule. They went 1-6 against teams with winning records this year- of course the 1 was against the Steelers in September.

No Lewis, no Reed, no Pitta, no Rice, no Boldin. Not the same team.

 

They get Ngata back.

They always play the Steelers tough and nothing would make their year more than beating the Steelers. What the Steelers got by winning the division was a trip to NE and a home game vs the Colts next year. Considering we lost Bell, not sure the 1 playoff home game is worth what they are losing.
