I wonder if

It is a long season and "on any given Sunday "

However, I said it before on other threads, the Ratbirds remind me of the 70's(early 80's) Oilers. They focused too much on getting over the Steelers hump that they struggled with the other teams.
Baltimore is a good team but They will be no better than 11-5 if that simply because the Steelers are in thier heads, no matter what the week 1 result was.

if you throw 3 interceptions (and some really ugly Neil O'Donnell ones to boot) , fumble the ball away and basically turn it over 7 times, a lot in your own territory - you are going to make any team look great.

The Ravens fans have already removed their car decorations down here and I'm not seeing as much purple this week so they rightfully took their trash talking down a notch. They better be careful - going to St. Louis is no gimme.

I am still cautiously optimistic and won't buy too much into a win over Seahawks though. I fully expect them to beat the Colts next week. Next best indicator is getting a win @Houston. Basically we better not get another loss before New England.

I'm still looking at 7-3 before the bye though. Something out of those Arizona, Tennessee, Jacksonville games stinks to me . . .

We'll see!

Yeah but it's a loss to an AFC team. It might matter big time come December.

Being on the front lines....

This was the first thing I said @ work Monday morning.

Along with "I'm glad to see you guys got Joe Flacco back" and "Appalachian State never lived up to the hype after beating Michigan either"

If the don't upset St Louis this weekend I'm going to have another great week at work

Oh man you had to throw Neil O'Donnell in there lol. I'm gunna go out on a limb here and say the next Steelers, Ravens game will be a lot closer (hopefully a Steelers win)

The win over the Seahawks was nice, hopefully the defense got some stuff worked out if not they better get it figured out after the Colts game, Houston is gunna be tough. 7-3 going into the bye would be pretty nice, but I'm going to be bold here and say they go 8-2 going into there bye, only loss coming from the Pats. I see the Texans, and Ravens being close ones but the Steelers coming out on top.
