Ugly season for Ben...
wow, knew he was struggling some, but had no idea it was that badUgly season for Ben...
GG....looks like another 5-11 season for the Ravens
Still pretty difficult to tell. The early slate of games have been very favorable for the Steelers and they really haven't been tested. Next week they have another patty cake game at home against the Jags. Then they will get their first real test against the Chiefs. We'll be able to tell what this team is all about after that game. On the road at Arrowhead against the best AFC team. No better test than that game!Bell finally looked like a real RB. Nice safety play by Hilton. Tuitt was all over the place, as was Shazier, and some solid play by Watt. Questionable play calling, seems like they were trying to run out the clock in the third quarter, way too soon, but I guess it worked out. Dare we think this team could compete for a long run in the playoffs? What say you, @FaCe-LeE-uS and @ATL96Steeler ? I trust the instincts of yinz.
Good game Blue! Gave us a little bit of a scare in the 3rd quarter!GG....looks like another 5-11 season for the Ravens

Well it was certainly a big win. Especially with it being a divisional road win. Those are huge. But honestly in terms of that being a test I'm not entirely convinced. That Ravens team is fairly banged up. I hate to use injuries as an excuse when everyone deals with them, but they have been getting demoralized by injuries. They have 16 players on their injured reserve right now. Not counting Dennis Pitta. Their 2 best RBs (Dixon & Woodhead) are on that list. Same with their best O-lineman (Yanda). Their defense is down 2-3 starters as well. They have a stout defense so it was definitely encouraging to see them move the ball with more success on 3rd downs. If they can clean up the penalties then they could be dangerous. I'm still not enthused with what we have been seeing from Big Ben though. He's having some accuracy issues. But now that Bell is establishing himself it will take the pressure off Ben. That should spell success in the weeks to come.I'll venture to argue with you on this one Face, and say that this game was their first big test. Even if the Ravens were 2-10 and this game was towards the end of the season, it's always a tough game, especially in Baltimore. For once, I'll be optimistic and say we've turned a corner.
On another note, nice to see the fucking Patriots drop one. God knows we'll need help later.

Good evaluations, gentlemen.
Hey, quick question: in what alternate universe was what happened to AB an interception? He'd caught and cradled the ball, took two steps, was tackled. His knee hit the ground, and as he was rolled onto his back, the ball came out.
If that was a pick, I am the Czar of Russia.
