When was the last time

I don't know why, but I actually feel pretty good about Saturday's game. I know the Ravens are a better team, but I don't think they wanted the Steelers to be their first round opponent. We tend to play them tough, and we've already beaten them once this year. I think Russ plays better against them this week and we pull off a close upset with the aid of a defensive or special teams touchdown. I feel like we're due for one of those splash plays Tomlin is always dreaming about.

 

Hope you're right!

 

In our last 5 playoff games (all losses) the Steelers have been Outscored 66-0 in the first quarter.

MT certainly gets the boys ready out of the gate!

 

Wow, I figured I would have heard (or read) that somewhere before just now.
You would think there would be some clan of some kind to have put this info out at some time or another.
Wonder why this kind of info is suppressed easily.

 

Never

On any given Sunday so I’m never confident

 

Wasn’t that Ike Taylor that got burned on a late game simple slant that went for 6 ? I can’t remember the receiver but that was a heartbreaking loss for me. I always liked Tebow as a person but not as an NFL QB…which is why that one stung so bad.

That will be the key to this game, when halftime comes and the Ravens are only winning 13-7 they will start to tighten up. If it's only 16-10 going into the fourth quarter the Ravens will be worrying about the ghost of past Steelers losses.

 

After seeing some stats my confidence is even lower. The last 6 teams to play a divisional opponent on the road has lost by an average score of 34-17. Yikes.

 

The funny thing is (and I'd have to search for the article) "some" of the local Baltimore sportswriters are saying similar things - that they really didn't want to have to draw the Steelers for their first game.

Now whether anyone, especially the Ravens, believe that or not - we shall see.

 

The Ravens fans on their message board didn't want to see the Steelers either. Our history against them was one reason but even if they win it will be a physical, possibly a injury plagued game that will doom them the following week.
