    I KNOW DUDE! I might not express it as "colorfully" as you did but I've been screaming to get Archer off the dang field! I can promise you that! I wonder if Tate got hurt on that helmet to helmet or maybe we just used all the plays he knows already. Also where has Harris been? It is like we've abandoned the run.

    He's still not used to the pro game. He needs to let it flow. Ben didn't pull a guy back in to block because it's supposed to be the RB that comes in when that happens, so he just left Dri out there, which is why he was uncovered. Ravens don't even recognize him out there with one CB on 2.....:facepalm:

    If they did fear him they would have called a TO!

    Relax, folks. It's basically a tie game right now. The Steelers blew them up in second half the last meeting...as well as the 2010 playoff game. I think we're in good shape.

    Need to stop the cute stuff and just stick to what works. quick hitters and work the ball up field, maintain composure and get in the endzone.

    On a plus side... Ben was getting a lot of time to throw in the second quarter.

    Ravens front 7 getting tired perhaps?

    In the meantime, the Pens choke and lose to Montreal, 4-1.

    We need a Forsett fumble or two to unsettle him.

    Chris Collinsworth may be the most annoying announcer there is. He is all over the Rats n**s. BTW I am afraid of a deep ball to Steve Smith on their opening driver. He is in the same book at Thuggs.

    Sweed, Rainey, Landry, and now Archer. It is like we treat a certain round of every draft like a Make A Wish Foundation charity gift or something. The guy is simply not worth a roster spot just because he has speed. If they wanted a guy like that cut some dead weight and sign Sproles. Problem solved.

    yes they have to but they have to take some heat off right now those OLB's can just pin their ears back and come. Ben either needs to torch them or get some runs going to make them think.

    I'm not scared. We got them right where we want them: overconfident and cocky.

    They'll try to jump out fast to start this half. get after Flacco. TOs should start coming in droves.

    Final score: 33-13

    True but the Steelers really haven't given the announcers anything to praise tonight except for Suisham.

    Archer turns our cards face up every time he's out there. That's why they are able to tee off on the pass rush like that. Bell kept them honest. Archer can't.

    I think they are worried about Tate fumbling the ball. Ever since Tate did, he has not been the same. Why does everyone keep saying we should be up by lots of points. I'm surprised we are not down by at least 10. This is the Ravens! We will not blow out the Ravens! Not in the playoffs at least. I just hope we can make it to the forth quarter within one procession. TRUE STORY!

    Compared to everyone else out there Archer looks like a crack head.

    Difference is we had a really stout d in 2010 and a really stout rb in the last game against them. Tonight we really have neither.

    At some point you have to put a little trust in him and throw him the ball "if" he's open. Then maybe they will account for him and open up someone else,you can't play 10 on 11.

    Agree on both counts. Seriously, I was worried about this. It's like our offensive game planner doesn't know what to do without Bell.

    As far as pass blocking goes, Bell is hardly used to stay in, and he's not what I would call great at it.

    Ever since Collinsworth went ballistic when Heath took a head shot that wasn't called (against Ravens in 2010), he's earned my respect. He's not the Steeler hater fans think he us.
