@ Yinzgotsix – yes, the Patriots* beat Pittsburgh in the playoffs… back in the day when they earned their ****’s. The Patriots* haven’t won squat since. Apparently, Mom Belicheck never told Billy that cheaters never win.

How is losing the AFC championship game worst than getting beat by Tim Tebow in the wildcard round? Have Ben and the steelers ever beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in the playoffs?

Ravenator I wouldnt be talking about any other teams and the way they lost last year after the way your team got knocked out of the playoffs. From my point of view, you dont have much to comment about.

@vincentbojackson – Be nice to Ravenator – all he has to live for is to scroll through webpages, trying to degrade anything Sixburgh. Yes, sitting in one’s basement in his underwear, trying – again and again – to convince himself that the Ravens will EVER reach the promised land… yes, it’s a pathetic life, but it’s all he has. Be gentle with him.

Yeah I was confused last year too….Cause I kind of thought it was to consistently knock that 1 purple team out the tourney year after year.

The Ravens’ fans can only dream of Steeler type success. It will NEVER come to them.

Ravernator must have taken a break from reading about Suggs injury, Reed mulling retirement, Jacoby Jones’ stone hands, and the lack of news on either Rice or Flacco’s contract extension.

I’d be trolling other team’s stories too if I we’re unfortunate enough to be a Raven fan right now.

And here I thought McLendon had bulked up to the 325 lbs range. Did he go on a diet or something?

He is plenty big and strong enough to hold down the nose position.

McLendon is well past 300 lbs. His listed weight is from his rookie season.

It depends on what you want out of your NT and what type of 3-4 you’re playing.

Having said that, I think he’s too light to play the 3-4 the way the Steelers play it.

It’s a linebacker defense, with the DL eating space and blockers while the LB’s clean up and make all the plays.

Gonna be a big change not having Hampton up front clogging the middle; let’s hope McLendon is up to the task!
