I never take the Rats lightly - they always play us really tough. I have no doubt that the Steelers are the better team all the way around, but the Rats have a way of managing to sneak back in just when you think you've got 'em by the jewels. I'm hoping B-Mac is back for this one - the Steelers are going to need their most physical players in there next week.

Yeah.. I am already nervous about the game... Of course, I don't believe in "Luck" or superstition, but you know that if they lose when my wife and I are there, I will feel like she or I could NEVER go to another game!

We gotta win this one!

Lets prove ourselves by actually winning a primetime game that the whole country will see. We can win this game we can even dominate it. we need to shut down that quick pass attack and their run game is a far cry from dangerous against us.

Our offense needs to play safe and no turnovers, that could kill us against a good D like the Ravens have. We need to pound the ball and the O-Line needs to play there best 2 games against the Ravens.

But hell right now all im thinking is WE WON TODAY! we beat our bengals Go Steelers Great Win!

, I can't shake what they've done to us the past few years(especially Willie and our run game).

Freaking Anthony Wright nearly beat us two years ago, with far less weapons and a horribly banged up D that night.

That slob Rex Ryan has no respect for Ben and he'll have his D up on the line of scrimmage most of the night. Ben better have his hot reads ready, because he's not going to be able to scramble much if at all.

I believe the Steelers can match their intensity and win but you would be kidding yourself if you didn't think this will be a slug fest requiring the Steelers best effort

Just sounds painful!

A quick glance at Baltimore's losses tells me that they have had a tendency to beat themselves this year.

McNair throws a killer 4th quarter interception against Cincinnati that led to the game winning score.

Turnovers against Cleveland also led to first half points that put that game out of reach.

Against Buffalo, Baltimore's defense committed a lot of penalties that sustained drives.

Conversely, Pittsburgh must place a priority this week on discipline and eliminating turnovers. As much as the OL needs to protect well, there's a lot of talent on Baltimore's defense that they will get their sacks. Now that we have a punter that can switch field position, it's not a huge loss if we give up sacks. We just can't fumble or throw interceptions.

i dont think the ravens are as good as they were last year. hopefully our oline can keep ben upright and not get him killed this time.

[Preacher]

Last year, the Ravens were just a power in the reg. season. This year... not so much. I don't know if it is a lack of willpower, a lack of desire, or a lack of youth... but it just isn't the same team.

On top of that, they can't pick up our 3rd string QB this year!

[FastWillieParker39]

All right NOW I'll talk about the Ravens lol. I've watched the Ravens and there offense is just flat out bad. With the game being at home, I see the Steelers D playing big in this one. There D scares me though because if we can't block, then oh boy Ben will be running for his life and when that happens, turnovers happen.

Prediction?.....Steelers 20-Ravens 10
