Went to the Raven's message board to see what they felt were keys to the game (the consensus was a weakened Bell/exploiting our secondary). Here's a representative sample of the other posts... thought I would have to swim through a lot of trash talk but instead detected a whiff of fear...?

"Over on the Steelers forum the vast majority seem pretty confident that they're going to trounce us on Saturday. I can't say that I blame them to be honest, they've been playing very good football (for the most part) over the last couple of weeks, while we've looked pretty darn bad. If we beat them they are going to be so mad lol."

"Bring on the Steelers. Give us a chance of knocking them out of the playoffs in Pittsburgh. This would be the next sweetest thing to winning a SB."

"Steelers are the last team I wanted to play.... they've been scary lately and I REALLY don't want to be 0-4 against them in the playoffs."

"Steelers' offense might be clicking now, but it wasn't too long ago that their fans wanted to run Todd Haley out of town. They'll sputter again and I'd love for the Ravens to deliver that reality."

"Any chance James Harrison retires before next week's game? If I had to pick ONE Steeler to not play next week, it'd be him. Not Roethlisberger. Not Brown. Not Bell.That guy has absolutely owned Joe Flacco throughout the years."

"We will beat them stillers in da burgh or it is a disappointment. Unlike the steelers we ain't front runners...we ruin people's day, score on defense and tell you about it! We got swag and are the true feelings of America as in talk trash, have swag and actually win!"

"This game will most likely come down to which coaches will make the better adjustments and which players can execute new adjustments in a short week. Every team is banged-up by this week and 90% of the playbooks have already been seen - so now is the time where coaching will be the difference maker. I think our coaches will make the better adjustments."

"The Squeelers ought to be careful what they wish for. They say publicly that they're excited to draw us.The Ravens should be the last team Spittsbrgh or any of the other AFC playoff teams wanted to see in the playoffs because of the Flacco factor."

"Antonio Brown had his way with us last game and the fear is we do not match up against him."
​

"The worst thing that's about to happen is all the confident bandwagon Steelers fans that are going to flood our site."

Heh. They seem to feel that 0-3 record against us is like the Curse of the Bambino. Probably feel worse when it's 0-4?! Stay classy Steeler fans.

 

We are evenly matched up, it's anyone's game honestly.

 

Evenly matched is like saying flaggo is even to Big Ben

We'll destroy'em!!!

 

This is why most of the games are 3 point differences at the final score. I hope that we trounce them this time though. My health seems to take a beating whenever these two teams play.

 

And why we need 7 in the red zone and not 3.

 

this doesn't make either one of them better looking

 

So I guess if Ben grows an eyebrow, they will be evenly matched

 

YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11




the rings

the rings

the rings

who gets the rings???

 

They need to break Flaccos nose so that they can look even more alike!

 

That's actually pretty creepy looking if you just focus on the resulting face. Thanks for the nightmare fuel TTF.

 

the flacco factor..... really??????

the flacco factor is why i'm so confident that we'll win

 

The Flacco factor its called pass interference.

 

Seems that I have the same fears as they do.
Bell...
J.H. now being sick and not practicing..
Any glitches in the game and those ratbirds will take advantage.

They ALWAYS play us like it's their Super bowl.

Nope, isn't going to be easy

 

Aargh I hadn't heard that.

I've said it many, many times before, but this game will come down to what the refs are going to call. Against the Bengals, they just let the game go, and for the better. When the main element of the, ahem, 'Flacco Factor' is his ability to move the ball through PI calls, we have to hope for the same this Saturday.

 

Is Hochuli calling this game? If so, it could take 5 hrs. with all the flags his crew throws.

 

Some guy named Clete....

The first thing he should do is apologize to Worilds...........and then tell him he has one clean open shot at Flacco.

 

Bad thing is after the stink of what he called on Worilds, he's going to let Ben get killed!
