This will be a good game. I hope the Steelers offense can build on the momentum it developed against the Chargers!

I'm a huge Steelers fan, and this is going to be one heck of a game.
I can't even imagine the injuries that are going to pile up in this game.
Baltimore is OUT FOR BLOOD.

Beating ANY team 3 times in a season is a tall task, especially a good team like Baltimore.
When they have lost the last 2 games by a total of 7 points?
I think CBS could sell ads for more money during this game than any other playoff game.

This is going to be a great game. I absolutely despise the Pittsburgh Steelers after what they did to Carson Palmer, so I am obviously rooting for Baltimore. I would love to see Baltimore win so that Willie Anderson has a shot at getting a Super Bowl ring.

Well, we should do ok if Ben can ease up on the turn overs. The top two defenses should make for a great battle.

Re: AFC Championship Game Steelers vs Ravens
 
I dislike both teams but I am pulling for the Steelers due to the fact that the Ravens have Ray Lewis and an owner who royally screwed his customers once and would do it again if he saw a chance.

The Ravens are beat up.
Ben had his best game of the season turnover and sack wise. Willy Parker is finally starting to look like his old self. Holmes didn't drop a a kick off return this week, although who knows what will happen on Sunday. The Defense is strong, they let SD get away with more points than usual but I think they quit playing so hard after we were up 18 points.

Over all I think Pitt has an excellent chance, as long as no one on the Ravens stabs any of the Steeler with a shank carved out of a Gatorade bottle on the field.

hmmm this morning the books have the Steelers up by 4.5 points. Sounds good as long as Ben remembers who to pass to.

Agreed, but there is one thing you have to remember that you mentioned. ben had his BEST game this season, How did he shape up the rest of the season? How did he shape up against the Ravens defense earlier in the season? Look my boys played great against the Chargers, no doubt! Yet, the Defense has been carrying the team during the season. In all fairness, if it wasn't for the Steelers phenomenal defense- they would have ended the season looking like Tampa. The goal for this game is for the offense to overcome the Raven's defense. If that doesn't happen- they will not win this game. That means NO turnovers, and neutralizing Ray Lewis. Big Ben is gonna have to have coverage in this game.........

I'm torn on this one. I don't have any allegiance one way or the other, although I am a huge Ozzie Newsome, LeRon McClain, and Jarret Johnson fan. Also a huge DeShea Townsend fan. Course I guess you guys could probably figure all that.

As much as I hate Ray Lewis and everything that he stands for, I love watching the Ravens play football. I'm picking them to win.

Commander Quan 01-15-2009 01:39 PM

Re: AFC Championship Game Steelers vs Ravens
 
altharp, I agree with you 110%. They have to play their best game of the season on Sunday, but after what I saw against SD I think the odds are better. The offense actually showed up for that game, and played. Instead of the defense not letting the other team win.

I am heading to the game with my brothers and my two kids. My son has a 16-1 record so I am thinking he will help bring the Steelers that extra bit of luck. Should be smoking a cigar at the tailgate by 2pm and completely numb by game time. I was at the game last week and think IF we don't turn the ball over I will be heading to Tampa in two weeks. Kind of surprised with the spread, I think Vegas is thinking the extra game for Baltimore is giving us an extra few points. I have been to several Baltimore Pittsburgh games and these teams do not like each other!!! If we do win I hope we have enough healthy players to field a team for the superbowl...:D

Ravens are driving! This has turned into the hard hitting game I was expecting!
Defensive struggle all the way!

The fact that he was conscious and had movement in his limbs was a good sign after getting speared in the head like that. :tu

Movement after that hit is a very good sign.

:What a game !!!! I can't remember a better Steeler / Ravens game. OUR DEFENSE ROCKS!!!! Does Shannon Sharpe Have egg on his face or what? Quote, " Ed Reed is the better safety than Troy Polamalu, because when Reed makes an interception he ends up in the endzone. Polamalu has 7 interceptions and no TD's." :D True in the regular season.....but Troy got one when it counted most!!!!!:dance:

I caught that too! Troy must have heard him and tried to convince him otherwise. :D He had a heck of a game and some great plays. They were definitely talking more about Polamalu and what he was doing on the field rather than what he wasn't doing like Reed.
