The NFL didn’t plan anything. The scheduling of the games is predetermined.

Suggs, Lewis and Reed…I can see it now.

National marquee match-up being played when people are coming home from work or just getting to work…and think of all the fans in the service industry who will not see the game. Serious lack of planning by the NFL.

With Pats/Colts it’s all about QB shootouts. But with Steelers/Ravens, it’s hard-hitting defense. This is throwback smashmouth football at its finest. Unlike other rivals, I may hate the Ravens, but at least I respect them. No pretty boys on the field today.

I am a hard core lifetime Steeler fan and I’m really looking forward to this game today. I’m glad that the Rooneys chose Mike Tomlin as our coach, he seems to have a firmer hand than Bill Cowher did. Baltimore has a great organization and it’s a thrill to have this game at home in Pittsburgh. Right now, though I’m confident the Steelers will pull it out, I’m also very nervous of the Ravens capabilities. I do agree that “The best game of the weekend comes first” and though we are arguably the marqee match-up, i’m not sure I could wait until Sunday night for this brouhaha to start! Good luck Steelers, thank you Ravens for such a tremendous rivalry.

I am a Ravens fan, and I could not have said most of it better myself. Cannot wait for this game. Two great organizations, a bunch of future HOFs on both sides, and great fan support on both sides.

The most exciting game of the weekend will be ATL/GB.

Nah.

Just hope for a mostly clean, good game. Don’t let this come down to penalty flags, please. I don’t want Pittsburgh to get any gifts just as much as I don’t want the Ravens to get any. It’d be a real shame if we had to spend the next weeks overlooking a great game to discuss how the Ravens got screwed over by a bad spot or the Steelers did because of a bogus roughing the passer. Just let these lions maul each other and see which one comes out alive.

That is pure RESPECT.

Well deserved Aaron. Well deserved.

Dont know why the media tries to make it sound like drama . Real Steeler fans know the deal with our own team .

He’s probably trying to figure out a way to make both teams lose.
