NFL Division Round: Ravens at Steelers

I hate to say this. The Ravens are on a mission. They scare the hell out of me more than any other team in the playoffs. Yes, they got a gift TD (although they created the turnover), but other than that first drive by both teams they have been scary good.

I agree.

GO STEELERS!

There's still so much time left. If the Steelers can score, they'll come out with the ball in the 2nd half. So it's still game on.

Every time Ben has a dropback he's been seriously hampered, sack, hits, hurries, or incompletions.

Were the Steelers on vacation during their week off? I sure hope our guys don't come out flat like this.

Romo invited them down to Mexico since it worked so well for him three years ago.

I agree the Stillers will. I want this to stay close and intense with many bad hits and penalties.

He pump-fakes twice on every pass attempt and holds the ball for 5 hours. Of course he'll get hit. The ultimate schoolyard QB.

Not nearly as worried about the Jets at all. The Jets are not nearly the team that the Ravens are and the Pats match up better vs. the Jets.

division games are always a different animal

Decent looking drive, thus far.
Benny needs a TD.

Huh, what game are you watching? If anything those opening drives show that these defenses can be thrown on. That happens to be GOOD news for the Patriots who have the most potent offense in the NFL.

The difference in this game is that the Steelers coughed up the ball twice leading to 2 gift TDs for the Ravens. Now they need to score a TD before the half ends to get some momentum back. Their playoff lives depend on it.

Steelers offense looks terribly out of sync.

Anyone else see that UFO when they came back from commercials after the 2:00 warning?

Go rewind to where it comes back from commercials after the 2:00 warning and is showing the SPRINT LOGO super imposed on the field. Now look in the sky above the stadium and u can see the flying object that shoots down like a meteorite and then takes a 90 degree turn before stopping. Pretty wierd.

That was the trick play they were going to run but it got exposed in the media earlier.

Oh my god, thats the stupidest thing I've seen. Did they really think the Ravens would fall in that hard count?

Wow.. I just don't see the steelers recovering from this.

One cough up was all the Ravens. The other you can argue was the Ravens too.

OMG, Ravens are so dumb. Call that freaking time out and have 1 min to go down the field.

Wow missed the ball wide. Suisham sucks. Steelers are in trouble. Going into the half down 14.

Steelers look like complete ****t

Credit the pass rush of the Ravens. They appear to be the cause of the Pitt O trouble. Pitt is executing terribly. A playoff match up and they are making mistake after mistake (many on offense but on D too).

this place is going to be unbearable if we move on, and the Ravens win .. Eddie Worries ..
