Next Up: @Pittsburgh

I don't see us winning this game... If we are going to beat Pit this season, it's going to be in the postseason again.

This team is a sneaky dangerous one if we can figure some shit out over the next month or so.

It'd be awesome to pull out a W here, but no Jimmy.. Rivalry, they're at home... A lot going against us.

You could be right and that could be by design.

I get flack for thinking this, but I don't think it is unreasonable....
We can still make it in with a loss on Sunday. It is most certain we would see the steelers in the post season if we were to make it.
If we can lull them into even the SLIGHTEST sense of security,,,, if we can get them to underestimate us even a little bit, I think it furthers our odds quite a bit.
Certainly I would rather beat them in the post season over the regular season. Duh.

It's okay. Playoff time is prime time for Antonio Brown to start live streaming the Steeler's meetings. It's a nice compromise so Darth hoodie doesn't have to cheat this year to succeed
 
This is the most hyped Ive been about a gamr all year. I think we win this one....idk i just do.

I see weddle in on that AB play every time and I cant help but to think weddle is itching to redeem himself, same with Mosely.

The pundits keep picking against us. Vegas has them favoured by 7 as well....folks...this is a rivalry game, and a big one at that. In prime time these ravens flip a switch. I dont think this game will be all that different. If the game is on the line with Tuckers right foot....then i couldnt ask for a better opportunity.

Final: 23-21 Ravens
 
i think we can win this but must not have the stupid penalties and turnovers which are drive killers. also need to hang in there the first few drives because the steelers will be pumped to clinch the division and honor shaziers wishes to beat us. o-line please give flacco some time and no dropped passes. hope the chargers, bills and jags lose. lets go ravens!!

I will also take another Chiefs loss, as we hold a tie breaker over the Raiders.
 
There’s no way to predict the winner of this game as it’s always so competitive. For the Ravens to have the best chance Joe and the offense(especially the receivers) will have to continue the trend of improvement. I really hope against and can’t see any reason for the game plan to return to the conservative “play not to lose” approach. Hopefully there’s some early success with both the run and pass to build rhythm, flow and confidence. And they can’t afford to have the drops in key situations like those that plagued the group last week as there will likely be a much narrower margin for error.

I think the D can easily absorb losing Smith given the depth at CB. Also I’m of the mind set that Weddle has been much more responsible for the excellent secondary play including the CBs. Even though he’s lost a step his experience and abilities to coordinate the group immediately improve any DB that steps on the field and it has shown in all of them since he’s arrived. I also think we’ll see a huge effort from the front 7 and hopefully better QB pressure like what started to develop last week. No way can they let Jen sit back and get comfortable, but I think Siz will make sure that doesn’t happen.

Whatever the outcome let’s hope above all for a clean, hard fought and injury free game.
 
Since ZDS isn’t playing this week we will start to see more of Bowser and TWill. This should benefit the defense and I see TWill getting his first sack this week.

Has Bowser gotten his first sack yet? If not, this would be a perfect game for it.
 
I think this is a loss and while we look bad without Jimmy defensively, we have not seen how the Steelers look without Shazier. That could be a Sean Lee-esque loss for the Steelers and while they will likely be motivated to play for Shazier, that won't change the fact that it's a huge loss.
I think we lose though because I would trust the Steelers to adjust to our loss of Jimmy more then us adjusting to their loss of Shazier.

one odd tidbit... marty has shown that he does well taking advantage of weak LB corps(see, both games vs miami)
