Broken beak is Ben's badge of Baltimore courage

Look everyone knows it took heart for Ben to keep playing with a broken nose. But that was a low scoring game and if he had been taken out the Steelers still may have won, maybe even by more points. It's not like he led the Steelers to 40 points or threw for 300 yards in that game.

The key play was the Troy P. blind side hit on Flacco that caused a fumble with the Ravens having the lead near the end of the game. and Ben obviously had nothing to do with that play.

You seem to really love regular season wins. I love them too, but only if they lead up to playoff victories.

How long are you going to cling to regular season wins that amount to nothing in the long run? My guess (by your posts) is forever. It's ok though, I love watching you embarrass yourself.

And guess what? Even if the Ravens win this Sunday, that doesn't guarantee another victory or two. Though I know you think it would. Warped logic.

Terrell Suggs buys into bobby jr's theory that it is unfair to look at the final score in determining who won the game

Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs brushes off his team’s 2-6 record against their biggest rival.

Jim Rome asked Suggs on Friday if the Steelers have the Ravens number. “No, they don’t,” Suggs said. “They’ve just been really fortunate. If you’ve seen it, it comes down to one or two plays. Don’t be fooled. Yes, they’ve won. . . . But don’t be fooled. Like people say, ‘Pittsburgh’s won six of the last eight,’ but look at the scores. It’s like one play here, one play there. A lot of those wins [could] go the other way.”

I knew the Steelers were in Flacco's head - apparently the whole Ravens team has spent the offseason looking to rationalize why they cannot close out games
