The Steelers just need to go 2-1 in the next 3 games...

They will lose at least one game they aren't winning all 3. Go 2-1 as I said you're tied with them going into the game Christmas Day. The Ravens know how hard it's going to be for them to beat the steelers here at home and for a 5th straight time. Ben and the offense isn't going to look like it did in Baltimore either it will be much much tougher for the Ravens to win this time around.

 

Hey, I just heard we were "in the hunt" for a playoff spot and in 2nd place in the AFC North, a game over .500! Yay.

 

Nuke LaLoosh much?

 

I hope you're right.

 

Looking at things today, with Gronk being out for the season, I think the Steelers need to run the table over the next 5 games because the Ravens can win 4 of their last 5 games losing only to the Steelers. I thought New England would beat the Ravens but with him out I'm not as sure. To be safe we need to win out and with our schedule that should ot be doable. We finish the regular season 7 and 0 and win the division.

 

Be nice to go 3-0... 2-1 in the least. Problem is, the Ravens aren't sweating the Steelers at home or in their tird house either. They flat out are not scared of the Steelers and I doubt see it as hard for them. Our boys have not given them any reason to be. That said, I expect the steelers to kick the **** out of em

 

I have a feeling the Ravens are going to lose this week to the Fins... just call me crazy

 

Ravens should lose 2 more games. Flacco is due for a couple of those games where you wonder how he was the winning QB in a superbowl game. I think the steelers will be laser focused on xmas day and beat them by 10 pts.

 

Not looking so good early on. Bengals taking care of the Eagles too. Those are 2 of the games the Steelers gave away.

 

The Bengals are irrelevant at this point what they do. They are 3-7-1 and are basically out of the division race. It's all about what the Ravens do and at this point they are smacking the Dolohins around today all over the field. It figures Miami has won 6 in a row and they are gonna pick today as the game they have a stinker and lose for the first time in almost 2 months.

 

yup, Ravens offense looking good but reality fins are stinking it up on D

 

21-0 Ravens now so don't look for the Steelers to get any help today in this game. The Steelers have to take care of their own business and just keep winning their games and they will be fine. I still think the Ravens will lose in New England on Monday night next week.

 

they will. its all up to steelers to take care of business. if steelers cant beat ravens at home and lose to them 5th time in a row/swept 2 years in a row, then they dont deserve to make it.

 

i want kc and texans to lose too lol

 

It's frustrating to see Baltimore and Cincy shutting out both Miami and the Eagles and the Steelers got destroyed by both. I'll give the Ravens credit they have been playing a lot better the last few weeks. The Steelers better win their games because you can't rely on the Ravens losing all these games like you might have thought a few weeks ago.

 

Steelers getting no help in wildcard race as both KC and Denver are winning as well.

 

I think today might be the nail in the coffin for us. Not mathematically, but we're just below average. If we can't beat a playoff contender at home today to keep pace with our division rival then I'm not sure what motivates this team outside of their paychecks.

 

Ravens aren't going away. They looked great today. We need to pull like man for the Pats to beat them.

Meanwhile, go look at the Broncos schedule the rest of the way- TN, NE, KC, Oakland. Says here they finish 9-7 and don't make it.

 

The Steelers will run the table and go 11-5 - no problem.

 

I say we run the table as well

 

Hate to be a wet blanket, but if we'd taken care of business against two teams that both the Rats and Bungles dispatched easily today, we wouldn't have to be talking about running the table right now.

 

But we didn't, so now we need to talk about running the table and we will. JMO and a fair amount of money riding on it,

 

Just incase we do slip in one of the next 2 road games at Buffalo or at Cincinnati the Steelers really need the Patriots to beat the Ravens next Monday so it will guarantee it will come down to the game here against the Ravens on Christmas Day with the division on the line. Easiest way to do this is beat the Bills on Sunday and have the Ravens lose in New England. Should this happen it won't matter what the Steelers do in Cincy the following week as long as they beat both the Ravens and Browns at home the last two weeks they will win the AFC North and most likely be the number 3 seed in the playoffs.
