Won’t find any Ravens fans on here trying to build up their team. They are too busy repeatedly bashing the Steelers elsewhere. Hello. The Steelers aren’t the only team that lost Sunday.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What’s a Steeler fan doing here bashing other teams and why aren’t you somewhere else building up your own team? Shees.

Ravens are in trouble. If they don’t figure out how to put it together and get momentum in the next two games it will be very difficult. I’m skeptical it can be done, there is just too much broken. I’m a Ravens fan.

I think Flacco is a pretty good QB going through a difficult time.

The defense stinks,the offensive line can’t give Flacco time to do anything. And it’s all flaccos fault. Amazing! The Ravens have been in the play offs 4 years in a row. Do you know how many teams don’t even know what a play off is! Then fans are spoiled and need to stand by there team and quit crying. They should be glad we even have a team!

To all you complaining Ravens fans: The chiefs would gladly take a QB like Flacco. Please send him our way!

Definetly a game of inches, Brady gets the benefit of the tuck rule and big time Vinatieri kicks. Roethlisburger rides a stacked team and bad officiating in 2005, Santonio Holmes great catch in 2008. The line between those who do and those who dont is razor thin. Joe is good enough to get us there IMHO but he definetly needs to step it up. I believe he is missing a great opportunity to take over this team.

Let’s face it: the AFC North ain’t what it used to be. Neither Joe Flacco nor Mike Wallace are going to get their big contracts; Ray Lewis and James Harrison are just a shell of what they once were. The Bengals have the best chance of winning in the playoffs.

Raven fans = happy to make the plaoffs

Steeler fans = happy to win the Super Bowl

See the difference? Losers are happy just making the playoffs.

I don’t like the Ravens, especially since the Pats got robbed down there earlier this year, but, they have been devastated with injuries since then and that makes it hard to compete. I think Flacco is a pretty good QB going through a difficult time.

The Cameron firing only made sense if they had a viable option to replace him…but they really didn’t. Their entire premise was “absolutely anybody can call plays better than Cam Cameron.” They seemed intent Sunday on disproving that.

Flacco is not a very good quarterback but to be fair the ravens coaches are awful when it comes to playcalling. Ray rice was essentially nonexistent in the 4th quarter against the redskins. They could definitely try moving torrey smith around seeing as he is the only wr who can get some separation. They have no creativity in their offense whatsoever. Against a team with a bad secondary like the redskins the passing game can look good but no serious playoff team will be worried to play the ravens. For years they’ve coasted on offense bc their defense held the opposition and was good for some points pretty regularly. Now that they’re banged up on defense, the offense not being able to carry its own is more glaring than usual.

0-14 is not accurate….How about more like 0-3 which is what they’ll be their next 3 games right on out the playoffs.

We’re about to make the playoffs 5 years in a row. Something no other team in the NFL has accomplished in that stretch.

We’ll get healthy and hopefully put up a decent fight in the playoffs. The injury bug has plauged this season.

Don’t follow football close do ya? Patriots went to the playoffs in ’03, ’04, ’05, ’06, ’07. That’s 5 years in a row but I guess you’re not counting them?

I think he was referring to the last five seasons, dating back to 2008.

If I’m on the outside looking in,..which team do I want to take/purchase (take price tag out). It’s Steelers hands down:

- Franchise QB – check
- Quality coordinators – check
- HC – check. JH is not fair behind MT, but JH acts too small at times. MT gets the nod.
- Front office – check. it’s a real push though. Ozz and Colbert are good.

Both defenses are aging. Ray is out of dances/fire brimstone speeches to save this.

RR gets pushed around when he is asked to pass block and gets doubled teamed when he comes out of the backfiled…was Cam trying to addres that?…..why can’t JH fix that?

It’s not even close.

I’m just happy that the whole Ryan vs Flacco argument can be settled. Unless you base QB skill soley off playoff wins (looking at you Stephen A.) but then in that case you’d have to believe that Tim Tebow’s better than Matt Ryan right? Or that Trent Dilfer is equal to Peyton Manning because they have the same number of rings. Yeah didnt think so.

Hey Steeler haters…Pittsburgh can get a playoff spot by winning last 2 at home. Will they? That’s another topic. Let’s not annoint the Bengals just yet.

Right now the Ravens are headed to the playoffs with zero momentum. A big win against the Giants at home this week could help them get their MOJO back.

I don’t ever want to hear Joe Flacco compared to Matt Ryan again. While Matty Ice still has work to do, Joe Flacco is not even in the same hemisphere as Ryan. Flacco has not won playoff games – he has been on teams that have won playoff games in spite of him.

Typically,at this stage of the season when two potential playoff teams meet,the comment is “who wants it more”.With the Ravens and Giants,”it’s who wants it less”

The Ravens O-Line sucks, plain and simple. Fix that and Joe plays much better.

Hey the Broncos are good. Flacco has been awful and it’s evident. For what’s left of the defense I thought they played well the first half and that pick 6 changed it all. It’s a depleted group that caused some three and outs and was getting some decent pressure. Tough to put the blame on anyone but Joe, the quarterback for that showing.

If they had started the season with Jim Caldwell, they would be 0-14!

Flacco gets all of the blame when they lose and none when they win. The Ravnes ran the ball a lot in the second half of the Redskins game and still lost. The Ravens offense, under Cameron has a lot pass plays that are more difficult to complete when compared to the average NFL offense. Flacco doesn’t throw 6 yard pass plays 50 times a games like Tom Brady. Just look at the passes he asked complete in a typical game and you will see. This is the same guy who was one drop pass from the Superbowl a year ago. He’s not the best, but good enough to win it all!

The Ravens panicked when they didn’t need to. Firing Cameron now was a bad move. They should have let it ride through the end of the year. They still can get it together. Win their last two and get into the playoffs on a high note. If they beat the Giants they will almost elimiate the Giants playoff chances.

Ben Roethlisberger and/or the Steelers have nothing to prove at this point – He/they have played in three Superbowls in the last eight seasons the most recent being only four seasons ago. The Superbowl is the epitome of the season – not the playoffs, not winning your division. By the time Ben had as much time in the NFL that Flacco has, he reached the Superbowl twice. It’s been twelve seasons since Baltimore appeared in the Superbowl. The Ravens are clearly lagging light years behind Pittsburgh and always will, especially as Flacco’s demise continues as it is.

If the Flaccos feel 0-14, as a Chiefs fan I feel the league should disband the entire Chiefs organization. I’m too loyal to be smart enough to see that management simply doesn’t care. Guess it could be worse, I could like Hockey.
