Pittsburgh ain't all that either. :0003

I`m no great foots handicapper...if all those sharps are thinking the ravens are live dogs,i`m happy as a clam.....

if we could beat the steelers up there with all the injuries,that would come in a very close second to winning the super bowl for me...

the outrage in Pittsburgh would tilt the richter scale..... :thumb:

Where are all these injuries you keep making excuses about? I see Jimmy Smith only as out. Ngata and Forsett will play.

Meanwhile Pitt is missing their franchise RB... :0corn:0corn

are you kidding?...we have 18 guys on injured reserve....our starting rt tackle went on injured reserve after the Houston game....our starting left tackle was in a walking boot and hasn`t set foot on the practice field all week(actually since the Houston game)...so we have to move our all pro guard(yanda) out to rt tackle,replace him at guard with a 5th round draft choice and start an undrafted free agent on flacco`s blind side(lft tackle).....

how`d that new alignment work out for us last week?.....we were trailing the browns and conor shaw in Baltimore with 7 and a half minutes left in the 4th qtr.......we scored 6 pts total in 3 1/2qtrs vs the browns..i think we hung a monstrous 13 on Houston and the immortal case keenum the week before..

we`re just brimming with momentum..and it looks like you guys are getting polamalu and ike taylor back....

I`d gladly give you labia-n back if we could have our o-line back intact...as it stands we have 3 new pieces heading into the hellhole.....it`s not pretty...

I`m still utterly flummoxed by this line......it`s like the linesmakers see bell and everything else is a non-issue....

So the guys you are talking about are on IR. They made the playoffs with the next guy up, can't be THAT bad. I know the Ravens didn't get there on the back of their multi multi million QB.

Really hope your Ravens play works out for you this weekend. Maybe their punter can get a couple of TD's. :shrug:

c`mon,gags..the Houston game was week 16..we lost that game and lost both our offensive tackles....that`s on top of (earlier)our tight end(pitta),best cornerback(limmy smith),4 other cornerbacks,and we just lost jernigan in the last game(ngata`s back-up)......we also lost our main back behind forsett(rookie Taliaferro)...

we had one game left AT HOME vs the mighty browns with conor shaw at qb and without josh Gordon...

we were 14 point faves and ended up in a life and death struggle to get into the playoffs....the score(20-10) is not indicative of how close we came to pissing our way out of the playoffs...

my boys went 2-4 against playoff teams (0-3 on road) and were 1-6 against teams that finished with winning records(with a healthier team than we have now), while pitt. was 5-1 against playoff teams (3-0 at home)....

I want us to waylay you guys...I want us to beat you guys into dust..i`m not supplying these factoids to garner sympathy...I`m just saying that this team limped(literally) into the playoffs and the only thing anybody seems to notice is "bell".......I`m reading that sharps are on the ravens....the line sits at 3(which means that this is basically an even game sans homecourt)....

what??????...really????

I`m not seeing it...nobody notices anything but bell...from a gambling perspective I`m not seeing why this line is so low.........:shrug:

I`ll be honest...I`m rooting like hell for the ravens....but my inner gambler already has pitt-3 and several parlays(with pitt moneyline and some mma stuff).....

can`t pass it up...I hope I`m brutally wrong...

Weasie, we're not exactly facing world beaters here especially with Bell out for the game. Both teams went 5-2 down the stretch and there were ugly games for both teams.

They will not be able to run the ball which gives our league leading pass rush even better chances at Ben. The Steelers secondary is worse than our secondary and Joe has the arm to beat them deep. Not to mention that we WILL be able to run the ball keeping Ben off the field.

OS, how will the Ravens post 27? You'll find out soon enough because it will happen tonight. :0008

Watch out for the Ravens... If burger is just a tad off tonight.. ravens win this easily... and they got some bacon back to clog up that hole in the middle... I think Joe has a great game tonight along with smith.
