Great year of football so far and the playoffs haven't disappointed either. This coming weekend in the AFC should be a continuation of the great games. GBvATL won't be bad either.

I have the Patriots by double digits.

Maybe even triple digits.

Jets go into Foxboro and SHOCK THE WORLD, by keeping it within 10.

REMEMBER STEELERS FANS, THE RAVENS WERE MISSING HEAP IN THE LAST GAME. IT WAS HEAP THAT PICKED UP POLAMALU ON THE BLITZ IN WEEK 4 THAT GAVE FLACCO TIME TO FIND HOUSH FOR THE GAME WINNER, IN PITTSBURGH!!

LMAO @ Wes Welker's comments about Rex/Jets.

So awesome, just perfect.

Fuck this 4:30 shit.

Yeah, true. I'm anxious and I'm just going to be sitting here watching guys hit each other... dunno how the players must feel.

Ray Lewis' tough guy act would seem so phony if he didn't kill people on the side.

Big Ben's tough guy act would seem so phony if he didn't rape girls on the side.

pfft.

Ray Lewis the human being is probably a douche, but Ray Lewis the football player is one of the most intimidating football players we've got in the game of football.

He ain't KG.

ESPN crew goes 4-2 in favor of Ravens.

That's not good.

BULLETIN BOARD MATERIAL! FUCK!

Even though I've also got the Ravens (I've already said I'm feeling like a fanboy this year), it wouldn't surprise me if Polamalu wins it for Shittsburgh. Again.

I'll be rooting for the Steelers.

Good, we like to embrace our role as the villain!!

I love Ray Lewis though. He's the man.

:NH:

^ A sensible Steelers fan. we need more of them on this board.

Put him on the Lions and I bet they make the playoffs.

Steelers by 10, if our o-line plays their best game of the year, that is.

Ravens by 3, if our o-line plays their best game of the year, that is.

I don't expect it to look too bad today, since Flacco finally came to the realization he's allowed to take off and run every now and then. God damn, what a moran.

Should we start a second thread for the non-fair-weathered-ballwashing-bandwagon crowd?

Bret Michaels leading the terrible towel twirl!!

Should we start a second thread for the non-fair-weathered-ballwashing-bandwagon crowd?

Dude, I've ben a Steelers fan for over 30 years, even through Bubby Brister and Mark Malone.

I've been a Ravens fan for over 40 years.

Dude, I've ben a Steelers fan for over 30 years, even through Bubby Brister and Mark Malone.

If you're not from there or your father and a few generations before him aren't from there and you call yourself a fan of the team you're in the bandwagon crowd.

This is wtfDETROIT, not wtfwalmartbandwagonwusses.

Stirring the shit. I like it.

It's a slow Saturday. Still true though.

Oh dear, my life is a sham.

I miss bukdow.

IT'S OUR TURN, DAMN IT

Lets get it on!

Heeeeeeeeap

Difference maker.

Lot of short drops to start. Smart.

Almost grabbed that bizatch.

What the fuck? THROW THAT FLAG!

THEY'RE OUT TO SCREW US

Rooney and NFL obviously go way back. 'We'll' have to beat the Steelers and the refs today.

Almost a lil boxing match there.

Bout time that fucking troll Hines got called for something.

Sympathy call for Ed, I bet.

Ed was just standing there and was attacked.

I don't like Mike Wallace.

This is going to be a fight to the end. Refs should put those stupid yellow hankies in their stupid pants pocket and LET EM PLAY!

I hate that spot of foul shit.

Homoeatu won't get called. Of course.

Ed just had a great hit...didn't mean much on the scoreboard though.

Bad start. If they can't stop the run, there's no chance.

Ray missing that tackle turned out to be worse than that PI.

That one pass play to Wallace kept the Ravens from moving the LBs to the line. They'll adjust. This game HAS to be in doubt late in the 4th or I'll be disappointed.

Without Ike Taylor, Steelers secondary is in serious trouble.

Excellent protection, Flacco just missed that throw.

Got bailed out by that defensive holding call, though.

I hope these refs don't insert themselves in the game.

Protection has been great.

Nice headbutt by Ike Taylor.

Crowd sack.

Dude is missing these throws he should be making. WTF

LMAO if this is against Steelers.

So ugly. But not unexpected.

Didn't look like he did much to deserve a penalty.

LMAO, Ray just ran right over Polamalu.

THERE "WE" GO!

Didn't look like he did much to deserve a penalty.

Officiating has been about as inconsistent as Ben Gordon.

VERY friendly flags for the Ravens on that drive.

Seems like Goodell slipped a few bills to the refs and said "keep it close, boys".

VERY friendly flags for the Ravens on that drive.

Seems like Goodell slipped a few bills to the refs and said "keep it close, boys".

Did you not see Kemoeatu's late hit? Ike Taylor's headbutt? Both should've been called.

The Ravens are being called for everything they should be getting called for.

LET THEM PLAY

LET THEM PLAY

:this:

Holy shit, touchdown!!

I hope these refs don't insert themselves in the game.

Is this a this too?

It's a :that:.

The refs are making this an embarrassment.

Prolly a whistle in there someplace that will stop the play.

That's a fumble, dudes.

PIT is going to be out of challenges for the rest of the game. Nuts.

I think it was a fumble but I think they'll rule the play dead in there somewhere with it being Ravens ball.

Holy Shoosh, this is high scoring affair. I thought this might be the final score..or about that many points.

Antonio Brown has potential to be a big difference maker when all is said and done.

Well, we're out of challenges, BOHICA.

I've seen enough of Jeff Triplett already, your 15 mins of fame are up, buddy.

LET THEM PLAY

"our" D is fired up now. Love it.

I like Webb on Wallace.

Steelers clearly rattled. Fucking idiots.

Its early. Lots of ebbs and flows, I would think.

Really like "our" offensive gameplan so far.

Just pick up Polamalu!

Site just had some lag...for me anyway.

I blame the refs.

That was disappointing. That drive looked promising.

Sam Koch: best in the biz.

Playing like the fucking Raiders out there.

Playing like the fucking Raiders out there.

Y'all have 6 rings though. IT'S OUR TURN, DAMN IT

That was some damn good protection for Ben after the Ravens rushed 7? or so.

At least it's only 5 yards

Would've gone ape shit if that was picked off.

Hahaha, wow. And PIT can't challenge.

lol, maybe this wasn't meant to be

no challenges

Keamoeatu, meet Glan in the Terrordome.

epic implosion

Tomlin needs to unleash hell.

lol, maybe this wasn't meant to be

no challenges

Stupid rule, btw.

Ravens are winning "the battle in the trenches"

Ravens are protecting Jumpin Joe.

Todd Heap of 6 points.

Ravens are protecting Jumpin Joe.

When the dude isn't getting protected, I get nervous. When he is, I MANCRUSH.

That LittleBeauHeap guy on Twitter is excited.

The beauty of having a 15 yard field.

This one is starting to remind me a lot of the Pats game last year.

The Steelers will come back in the 2nd half. Count on it.

The Steelers will come back in the 2nd half. Count on it.

Agreed. Ravens can't play to not lose.

I was thinking 31-30 or 35-34 or something.

T-Sizzle is backing up ALL his talk. Let's see if Cromartie will do the same.

Wow, the Steelers are a mess right now.

Steelers should be fine with a 21-10 halftime.

Need to be within 11 at least at the half, even then, it's not likely given the way we're playing.

Only hope might be to let Ben start flinging it around.

Hopefully Kemoeatu will get "us" another fumble.

spicy italian commercial, a real low blow

Concede the FG. NO touchdown.

FG might not even be a gimme.

That was pass interference, but whatever.

That was pass interference, but whatever.

Let 'em play!

I like Ben's beard.

That's what the whatever referred to.

Missed FG, that's game.

That looked like my 5 iron.

Steelers will make adjustments. Game will get interesting in the 2nd half.

I just hope the protection will continue to hold up for Flacco.

Can't stand Scott Caan. db.

I'll be back for the 2nd half. notthatanyonecares :(

James Brown's hair is frightening.

I CARE!

A stop on this possession would be really nice.

Nice D right there by the Ravens.

Rotty goes down with a 4 man rush...wtf?

Beautiful.

Rotty goes down with a 4 man rush...wtf?

Believe it or not, but historically Roethlisberger is worse against a 4 man Raven rush than when they send extra guys.

I knew the Steelers were frauds, but this is ridiculous.

Gotta keep doing what they were doing in the first half. Throw first to try to set up the run.

Illegal touching...lol

I think that tackle hurt joe a lil bit. knee?

Just can't do anything with the run.

Believe it or not, but historically Roethlisberger is worse against a 4 man Raven rush than when they send extra guys.
Weird. Must be the situation or something.

And the comeback starts.

Fuck.

That was the WORST possible scenario.

Hold them to 3, please.

All thanks to Ray Rice.

a change in events

CRAZY TRAIN

Flozell out due to an "illness". I think we all know what the real story is there.

Inevitable change of events, imo. This game just couldn't be decided in the 1st half.

BRET MICHAELS IS PUMPED

deja vu

ALL ABOOOOOOOOARD HA HA HA

Flacco totally short-armed that pass. It was pathetic. Reminiscent of the missed throw on 4th down in the last game.

In the interest of extending the game, I'd like to see a FG here.

Wow, great play by Josh WIlson.

Wow, great play by Ellerbe.

A punt redo sounds good to me.

Need a long drive big time here.

Time to unleash hell.

It's never pretty when the Ravens and Steelers get together. If people don't like it, THEY CAN GO WATCH FIGURE SKATING!

That.

OMFG, run the fucking ball.

Well, well, well...what do we have here, besides a game.

Too bad they had to bury themselves so deep before waking up.

TWSS

This game's over. Ravens retardation has set in

I wish I could watch this game on one of those wide angles...cuz there's a whole lotta hitting goin on down there.

The offense is absolutely killing the defense.

Joe Cracko

Fucking meltdown.

The 4th quarter should be epic.

That is what I am talking about.

If the Ravens lose, they HAVE to look at bringing in a QB.

Flacco is pathetic. Go get McNabb if you have to.

I've never understood the Flacco hype. Dude's a stiff.

If he could just protect the ball, I think you could look past his other pimples.

The dude is a fucking joke. The fact he's 4-2 as a playoff starter is remarkable.

Time for the Steelers to kick this FG and for Polamalu to make a play to put this one away.

Ballsy.

And fuck the refs for not letting them snap the ball when they wanted to.

Wow..Wallace went down easy.

T Sizzle...or something.

Dude's a monster. Too bad he can't do anything about the shitty offense.

Side note: I used to work with Suggs' cousin, Rodney, who played football at IU, himself.

Ravens best hope is for a nice return here.

Housh and Heap are our only hope.

Keep running.

Ike is playing a hell of a game.

lol @ Flaccid.

Nice pass rush and not much protection.

Lotsa time left.

Jesus Christ, what a punt. Not a bad return either.

Defense is playing as well as it could be playing, given the situations they've been put in.

That flag wasn't necessary, but it might actually help them.

Hopefully Joe Flacco remembers that he's Joe Flacco.

What the fuck. Quan has to make that catch.

TIE GAME!

THE CROWD GOES WILD!

I think he should just go ahead and legally change his name to "Pro Bowl Kicker Billy Cundiff".

Given Lil' Ben's history, no reason to believe the Steelers don't pull it out here.

I'd like to have Pits O and Rav's D on the field for the end. Cuz I think we know who wins the Pits D v Rav's O matchup.

That could've been dangerous.

Phenomenal coverage. Just a better throw.

Does Flacco smoke pot? Cuz he looks so dazed and confused to me.

LOL @ Ray running to get back on the ball.

Does Flacco smoke pot? Cuz he looks so dazed and confused to me.

HE'S JUST CALM

Looks like the Browns, er, Ravens, will get a chance to win it in reg.

HOLY SHEEPSHIT

What'd I say? Antonio Brown. FUCK.

Game fucking over. FUCK>

How does that happen when you're only rushing 3 men?

Think I'll switch over to Pistons/Kings.

Will Ravens let them score?

Brady is going to kill y'all next week.

Guess not.

Defensive fucking holding.

LET EM PLAY!

John was a lil hot right there.

A little more creative officiating for the Ravens.

Why in the hell is Hines looking like he's about to cry? Fuck that dude.

Nice flag, lol.

Think the league wants overtime?

Ravs will get good field position...#hoping.

Nice flag, lol.

Think the league wants overtime?

Yep. They won't get it, though.

Good luck against the Pats.

CRAZY TRAIN

uh, wow.

How the FUCK do you miss that throw!?

This is Polamalu time.

I still think that holding on the Ravens at the goal line was bull gumby. I saw the replay and didn't see anything. LET EM PLAY!

Wow, great play by Derrick.

Under throw by Jumpin Joe.

That was awesome.

New QB time. I fucking HATE this guy.

Fucking CHOKE.

Rav's had their chances, again, and didn't get er done.

These games are great games for NFL fans.

Time to stop ignoring my kids, I guess.

Perfect throw and it went right through his god damn hands. Story of the season. Go Packers.

I'll continue to ignore my wife for the second game. She understands. I have been telling her how this is one of the greatest NFL seasons so she doesn't mind.

Fucking Housh whined about not being involved more in the offense... well, I don't want to hear him bitch anymore.

I like the Pack in this one.

Fucking Housh whined about not being involved more in the offense... well, I don't want to hear him bitch anymore.

True. Some of these players just don't get it. Not saying Housh is one, but he seems like that to me here and there. He flat out missed balls today.

Gotta give criticism where criticism is due and you gotta give credit where it's due. Flacco played like ass in the 2nd half, but those throws were spot on.

I like the Pack in this one.

I have the dirty birds, IIRC.

Kuhn has to be my favorite Packer.

Seems like a good game, 14-14, but I'm not even paying attention. I find it hard to care right now.

Its not a good game and seems to be getting worse. I'm pulling for Seattle tomorrow...just to goof things up. Hoping for a dog fight in the Pats Jets game. Gotta love the AFC this year.

Packers are ridiculously good.

If the Pack doesn't get by Seattle or Chicago next week, I'll be surprised.

Pack would have to travel to Seattle and I'm thinkin it will be a dramatic difference from when Vinny's Saints played them.

Pack would have to travel to Seattle and I'm thinkin it will be a dramatic difference from when Vinny's Saints played them.


My Packers will roll them.

Why don't we just go ahead and replay that Steelers/Seahawks Super Bowl?

Love the snow.

Packer fans are just the worst kind of person.

Ps. I got fucking shitfaced last night

My Packers could probably beat the hell out of both of these teams at the same time.

Love the snow.

So does Vinny. That's why he's in rehab, right?

"The Seahawks are who we thought they were"
"Dying birds across the world continues. There are about 60 dead Seahawks in Chicago"

^ regurgitations.

Brady Flacco'd it. Lol, what a fag.

Sweet pic! I was hoping he'd take it 'to the house'.

Problem is, not the Jets O is on the field.

Pats D prolly has more yards than Jets O. Not really but felt like typing that.

Jets and Ravens really are mirror images of each other. Such shitty offenses.

How do you miss that? Terrible.

He missed that kick like Flacco misses easy throws.
