    No bell... Flaggo playing bad lately but you know he will turn it up. We win 56-3

    I think the Steelers will be themselves before the Rats do.

    A new gameplan without Bell could mean many mistakes resulting in zero yards and or turnovers.

    Hopefully the defense continues creating turnovers and makes Flaggo regret getting up that day.

    Not worried much. Just hope the Steelers don't change much and try to get too cute.

    I do too because I absolutely hate losing to them.

    We need to channel these 2 games though- both offer inspiring examples of the Steelers rising up to beat the Ravens despite injury and adversity:

    December 2, 2012 @ Baltimore

    Steelers 23, Ravens 20

    The Charlie Batch game. The Ravens were a lot better then and the Steelers a whole lot worse.

    January 20, 2002 @ Pittsburgh

    Steelers 27, Ravens 10

    The Steelers are going to have to come up with a unique game plan, but they can definitely win the game! I think the need to utilize alot of underneath passes and end arounds in order to open up things for Harris! They will need to utilize Archer as well on some wheel routes as well as screens ! The passing game will be there, but the Ravens will put emphasis on limiting our over the top plays to Bryant and 20 yard routes to Brown, especially if we cant run the ball! Ngata is back, so running up the gut is going to be tough...we have to get to the edges! I see a tight game, but we win 20 -17!

    Ravens will play us physical as always but they are not the Steelers. The Ravens cannot out Steeler the Steelers. The only concern I have is the Steelers beating themselves. But its a very minor concern, dont see it happening.

    Im worried, but not too bad. We lose this game if we shoot ourselves in the foot. (Turnovers, allow deep PI against us, etc)

    raven es fans really want to beat us lol. Hope steelers rise up for bell.

    The only thing that worries me is what officiating crew we get. Because we all know what the Baltimoron offensive game plan will be...

    you can't go into the playoffs trying to avoid good teams. you have to have the mindset of being able to beat anyone if you expect to reach your goal of world champions.:cool:

    The Ravens practically backed in. They're luckier than good. I think Miami ans Kansas City were better overall teams, and Houston definitely was until Fitzpatrick went down. Here's a team that was playing for the playoffs and they were struggling against Cleveland, with some guy named Connor Shaw at QB.

    Agreed, bottom feeders all year, went 9-0 against 500 or less teams. Only victory against a team with a winning record was the first Steelers game, which needs to be avenged.

    I think we are a better team since last time we played them sans the Bell injury. I'm not sure I can say the same for the Ravens.

    I like our passing attack, I like our offensive line, I like our defensive line, and HEY, I LOVE our no name secondary!!!

    The Ravens will be blitzing right off the bus,
    buckle up your chin straps Steeler fans.With 1 of our major weapons hurt, We must find a way to
    protect #7. But hey lets go right after them on defense also.Lets ATTACK also.
