Only things im worried about here is Pickens vs Stephens on the outside

And the OL play vs a strong defensive front

We lose a lot if Zay can’t play but should still have enough firepower if the OL doesn’t let us down

This whole run is dependent on the OL to me. They step up whoever we play is in for a LONG day.

That said... does a playoff blowout wipe away a 2-8 record in last 10? Asking for a friend
 
I can't believe they really made our game the Prime Video exclusive game during the playoffs. I know Ravens-Steelers is a good rivalry game and all but of all the playoff games to make exclusive to a streaming service, this one? Hopefully we don't blow them out too bad and cause Al Michaels to fall asleep in the second half lol. He already sounds like he doesn't want to be doing these games on Thursday Nights lol.
 
The obvious keys are ball security and pass pro, then there’s the worry about Brandon Stephens on Pickens of course, but as far as X’s and O’s go, I think the biggest keys are:

Make the right read on option plays, don’t play into their hands and take what they give you here, they overcommitted to Lamar last time and Henry gashed them, if they overcorrect that, BE READY FOR IT and make the right decisions Lamar, don’t force the issue. Be patient, don’t predetermine, make the read and then execute it, it’s just another play.

TEs and RBs need to get the ball on quick hits, Steelers are super susceptible to this

How does Bateman hold up against this physical secondary as the WR1?

I want us to blow them out. I am worried about refball and the magic or whatever you call it they seem to have when they play us. Not to mention wanting to quiet their obnoxious fans with their awful towels.

George Dickhead had five-ish drops this weekend, so no worries if Stephens can't find him

He wont drop them on Saturday. He's the one receiver we cant let loose.

I know its far out in advance but theres a chance of an ice storm here on Saturday.

Harbaugh getting fired dying on the Faalele hill.

We need to build a statue of Faalele if this happens.
 
I swear if we let these dirty fucks bring us down into the mud and play a stupid fucking game and give them their first playoff win in 9 years. I swear. Lamar will get crucified

I can already see us beating the Steelers... in playoffs and "people" start shifting that this wasn't a big game.

There are people who still think Lamar hasn’t won a playoff game and then they immediately downplay the 2 he did win. The 4 TD game didn’t happen

He was getting booed badly by the fans. Curious what his emotional state will be come Saturday..
 
The tide has turned in this series. Ravens are going to put PQ's head on a swivel. Smash mouth ball, TE's up the seam and wheel routes for big gainers. I don't think we cover that spread but I do think its going to feel like a unanimous decision.
 
If we lose to the Steelers we deserve all the criticism we get. They are not playing good ball at all. We need to copy how KC and to some extent what the Bengals were doing at first,the quick short passes. We also need to do more playaction.

He also lost 4 games.…lets not pretend like Lamar has suddenly turned the corner in the playoffs because he had four TDs vs the Texans in a game they were heavy favorites.

He has to do it consistently vs the best teams and coaches. Starts with Pitt and Tomlin
 
Fuck Bill Cowher too while we’re at it. So giddy talking about the Steelers being 4-1 against us in playoffs and how they can throw the records out etc
 
Uhhhhh I'm getting very nervous that the game is gonna be a snowstorm. If it is, we ain't winning that. If it's just cold we can obviously win
