    Lost to Cincy by 18 at home, beat them by 24 (shutout) a few weeks later.

    Blew the Pats game by not using Henry in the 4th quarter.

    Ran him down the Packers throats the next week.

    As much as Harbaugh screws it up, take a guess on which coach will adjust better to the game next week.

    Harbaugh runs Henry, early and often...Ravens win easily. If Ravens get cute and let LJ or Huntley try to be hero...then it will be close.

    The Steelers once more lived in the fears of Mike Tomlin and refused to attack the middle of the field or even run slants. They were all sideline passes with little chance of success, especially without DK and given our receivers.

    It is not hard to defend when everyone runs routes to the sidelines.

    At least Harbaugh stopped freebasing enough to recognize that leaning on Henry could get the Ravens a win against the Packers. He knows it will work against the Steelers.

    The coaching and philosophy of this team is absolute ASS!

    We won rather easy last time. Make no mistake, this game will be close.

    Metcalf had 7-148 last game.

    Henry had only 25 carries.

    One of those will clearly be missing, the other will likely be more than 25 carries.

    Metcalf was the difference in that game. Without him, it may not be close the other way.

    Don't think we have a chance. Only wondering by how much we lose?

    Which is why I hope Lamar is back and not Huntley. Harbaugh seems to forget he has Henry when Lamar is playing.

    I was so disgusted yesterday that I will not stay up to watch. I will record it. When I wake up around 1-2 AM I'll check who won. And I must admit if somehow we pulled it out I'd get out of bed and watch the game right then.

    This has been going on for years, Tomlin is a coward who only knows how to play not to lose and not how to play to win.


    The whole gameplan is throw befind the LOS, most of the time ends up with negative yardage or at the boundaries with 20% chance of getting a completion.

    Couple of my betting nephews are going big on the Ravens. I'm not sure about it. I think it's a Vegas special where we will lose by 3 and only bookies win.

    Packers didn't have Devote Wyatt. That played a massive part as to why the Ravens were able to run it down Green Bay's throat with such ease. No Micah Parsons means that the Offensive Tackles had an easier time against the EDGEs of Green Bay.


    In comparison?! Pittsburgh still has Derrick Harmon, an ascending Yahya Black, an ascending Jack Sawyer, Cameron Heyward (however much he has left), Malik Harrison and Keeanu Benton (though he is just as Jekyll and Hyde as the entire team has been this season). I would imagine that the Steelers Defense will be poised to stop and contain Derrick Henry. My issue isn't with the Defense.


    It was, has been and continues to be the Offense. Not having D.K. clearly didn't help and losing Darnell Washington magnifies this issue. Will Aaron Rodgers and Arthur Smith be able to consistently sustain drives and score points?! Time will tell on that one.

    Should Pittsburgh lose, I would say by seven. Seems appropriate but rivalry games are so goofy in terms of scoring it is difficult to gauge.

    1 or 100, doesn't make any difference. But based on what Rats did to GB in GB and the way the Steelers played yesterday, may get ugly early and stay that way.

    The crazy thing is the Ravnes looked better with their backup QB in than Lamar. I know it’s because Lamar is hurt. We DEFINITELY have to play the game of the season for it to even be a chance to win. I mean just beat the 3-12 Browns at the time and we are in but nope we wet the bed as always in big games. Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe we’ll get a higher draft pick if we miss the playoffs. I don’t know exactly how that works. Even if we get in by a miracle we won’t beat any of the playoff teams IMO. Heck we’ve played a lot of them and lost. Most badly.

    What you mean our phenomenal stud additions at WR in Adam Thelein and MVS. They will be all we need. I mean that’s the big moves Tomlin was talking about. Come on Thelein is close to 80 and MVS was nerve very good and he’s up there in age now. They were just WRs to try to take some double cove rag off moronic DK. I give us a 10% chance Sunday night. If we had DK it would be 30%.

    The irony is that in our efforts to stop MG from getting "the sack" and not beat us - we let him beat us by not doing it himself. That's some serious messed up reverse psychology that killed us.

    If we do the same vs the Ravens, visa vi Henry - we're in trouble.
