Re: Preview: Ravens vs. Steelers Matchups on SNF
While you have a point most of us are taking into consideration the OP and the posters that agree that all is lost.
While it would be great to have a fact based debate these posters basically are all doom and gloom and really are trolls intended to get a rise out of the fan base. If you read most of their posts its lukewarm towards the Ravens at best with a lot of questioning and negativity. Case in point I wrote a post in 2005 wherein I stated that the Ravens needed to move away from the defense first, second and third mentality and become more balanced or else they weren't going to win anything going forward. While it was critical of the formula that had won them a SB I really had their best interest at heart and wanted them to win. That was an example of constructive criticism mixed in with my positive feelings towards the team. That's balance and that's an example of fandom not the vitrol that's spewed from some of these posers.
Posters like Gota, Shas, Alien, Luke, HKusp and many others will tell it like it is whether its good or bad but they are clearly in support of the team.
Posers like the OP are not imo.

Re: Preview: Ravens vs. Steelers Matchups on SNF
Based on the matchups at hand, I believe (although I hope I am wrong) that the Ravens don't match up well in Pittsburgh or here at home - hell, the Browns almost beat us at home! Our collective D is very suspect at the moment, and I don't feel will be able to contain Ben, and their renewed running attack; our O should put up some points, but Pitt's D is looking pretty good right now; and our ST, I don't feel have the breakaway threat(s) that the Steelers do. Putting this all together, at least on paper, I am not very confident of a W in Pittsburgh on SNF. Just trying to be objective here, and would like other's opinions regarding said matchups.

Re: Preview: Ravens vs. Steelers Matchups on SNF
The reason why the Browns played the Ravens tough is because they know them so well. Last year the Ravens were supposed to get destroyed in the rematch with the Steelers because they had just beaten the Pats and the Ravens had to mount a huge comeback to beat the lowly Cardinals. Pundits predicted that since week 1 the Steelers had become the better team because Ben was playing lights out along with the world's best defense while little Joe Flacco and an aging defense could not stand up to the world's team.
We know how that game turned out.

Re: Preview: Ravens vs. Steelers Matchups on SNF
Can we focus on Oakland first? The last thing we need is to get caught with our pants down looking ahead to Pitt. We'll have plenty of time to worry about the Steelers, we play them twice in 3 weeks. Let's focus on kicking Oakland's ass and earning some style points for the BCS.
