uh huh dasweep...you may want to tell the rookie QB in purple that James Harrison is no longer a Ravens and never was a running back to hand off to. 

As far as moving the ball...well...let's see...at least the Steelers know that the game goes for 60 minutes and not 55 minutes, unlike your "other" team.  .

No doubt it's in fun...otherwise we'd be in padded rooms...lol.  And thanks. 

Thanks for the reply Mom, maybe if the Steelers played Troy on offense they could move the ball in........ I dont know...... the first 55 minutes of the game! The greatness of their defense is matched solely by the poorness of their offense, but, I guess that makes them a "complete" team right? Your are right though, should be a great one defensively. Oh yeah, one more thing, tell Ben that if a guy wearing a purple jersey catches one of his passes and scores it doesn't count for the Steelers! All in fun though Mom, love your blogs by the way!

If it wasnt for the defense they would probably have at least 3 more losses (Ravens, Cowboys, Chargers)

Not true...if it hadn't been for the Ravens defense, they may have 1 additional loss.  After all, wasn't it a personal foul on Jarrett Johnson against Hines Ward that gave the Steelers offense momentum?  After all, only 7 points of the 23 points were defensive points, the rest the Steelers offense did manage to score on the Ravens (both teams only had 1 turnover a piece - both returned for touchdowns).  Funny that that horrible offense that you're describing, managed to come back from a 13-3 deficit and take the lead 17-13 at one point. 

Guess we could say, if it wasn't for the Ravens defense, the Steelers would have won that game easily...lol.  (Kind of like if the Cowboys defense hadn't stopped the running game, it would have been a different outcome for the Steelers offense).

Seriously, it will be a very good defensive game and hopefully we won't see the slew of injuries that we saw last time. 

Thanks for the luck Busy, we are going to need every bit of it, if we lose we are out!

Well Dasweepa, you left out one of the keys to winning the game - Ed Reed.  He has been brillant the past few weeks.  Just think how Big Ben is going to feel when he throws a long one and Ed Reed comes out of no where to pick it off.  And if he could then score yet another touchdown off an interception, Baltimore will be dancing in the streets!

Our defense can take on the Steelers.  Our offense can score.  Joe Flacco has a great gun.  What I see is that our offensive line has to keep Flacco safe and un-sacked.  If they can do that, the Ravens will win the game, hands down.  On the other side of the line, if we can keep Big Ben in check, get our sacks in (as he has become very sackable) and limit his throwing game, thic will be the best game of this NFL season.

With Ngata (a wise person said they see him with another interception in this game - wouldn't that be great!), Lewis, Washington, Heap, Rice,  McClain, Clayton, the Ravens have so many playmakers.  Topping the list with REED and FLACCO, Cam Cameron and Harbaugh, this is the one game that they have been building up to all season long. 

My prediction, Ravens 21 - Steelers 17. 

Thanks for your thoughts DaSweepa.  Good luck to your "other" team this weekend.
